Crimson Desert Update 1.13.00 – All New Equipment & How to Get It

Crimson Desert’s Update 1.13.00 dropped across all platforms on July 4, 2026, bringing 47 new pieces of equipment, expanded Abyss access for Oongka and Damiane, dyeable weapons, and a handful of quality-of-life improvements. Gaming media reported on the patch notes, but here’s the full breakdown of what’s new, how to get it all, and whether it’s worth the grind.

Update 1.13.00 is a mid-cycle content patch developed and published by Pearl Abyss that focuses primarily on equipment expansion and character accessibility. The headline additions are 39 new equipment pieces for Kliff and Oongka (including five complete boss outfit sets), 8 new armor pieces for Damiane, and full Abyss access for both Oongka and Damiane—previously restricted to Kliff only.

Beyond gear, the update adds the Hunter’s Sigil item for bird pets, makes most weapons and secondary weapons dyeable, and introduces new crafting recipes for elemental plate armors and carpets. The patch also includes a significant number of bug fixes addressing combat actions, quest progression, and control issues that players have reported since launch. For anyone who’s been waiting to run Oongka or Damiane through endgame Abyss content, this is the patch that opens that door.

The new equipment comes from multiple sources, so here’s the fastest path to gearing up after the update:

1. Check your active quests and completed achievements. Pearl Abyss confirmed new equipment rewards have been added to both systems. Open your quest log and achievement tracker to see if any currently unlocked content now offers new gear.
2. Visit armor and equipment shops in major settlements. Several new pieces are shop-purchasable, including the carpet crafting recipes. Check Demeniss and other hub towns for updated inventory.
3. Farm rematchable bosses for boss equipment. The five boss outfit sets (Tarandus the Ashen, Unyielding Hero, Knight of Carnage, Martial Monk, and Grand General of Demeniss) drop from their respective encounters. Memory Fragment locations for Corrupted Caliburn, Goyen, Draven the Crowcaller, Clockwork, and White Horn have been relocated to accommodate Oongka and Damiane access.
4. Craft the new elemental plate armors. Lightning Bolt Plate Armor, Scorchflame Plate Armor, and Frostcursed Plate Armor recipes are now in the game. Gather materials and locate the crafting recipes through exploration or shops.
5. Equip the Hunter’s Sigil on your bird pet. This new item allows birds to retrieve prey and gatherable items suited to their specialties—essentially passive farming while you explore.
6. For Damiane specifically: Check compatibility with existing boss equipment. She can now equip the Guardian of Odeck outfit (5 pieces), Dark Marksman outfit (3 pieces), and one piece of the Masked Liberator outfit.

Not all acquisition routes are equally efficient. Here’s how the main methods stack up for the fastest way to get new equipment:

If you’re pushing for boss equipment specifically, you’ll need to run Memory Fragments repeatedly. The update doesn’t specify drop rates, so expect standard boss loot RNG—some players will get lucky, others won’t.

Kliff and Oongka Boss Equipment (19 Pieces)

Five complete boss outfit sets are now available: Tarandus the Ashen (5 pieces), Unyielding Hero (5 pieces), Knight of Carnage (5 pieces), Martial Monk (3 pieces), and Grand General of Demeniss (2 pieces). These represent the highest-tier cosmetic and stat options for both characters. Additionally, Oongka can now equip most outfits previously exclusive to Kliff, dramatically expanding appearance options.

New Standard Equipment (27 Pieces for Kliff/Oongka)

Beyond boss gear, there are 16 new armor pieces and 3 headgear options. Both characters can also now equip the full Kuku equipment line: Kuku Lightning-Resistant Armor, Kuku Flame-Resistant Armor, Kuku Ice-Resistant Armor, Kuku Breeze-Step Boots, Kuku Rishi’s Boots, and Kuku Marni Laser Helm. These elemental-resistant pieces are useful for specific encounters and environmental hazards.

Damiane Equipment (8 Pieces + Boss Compatibility)

Damiane received 8 new armor pieces—smaller than the other characters, but she also gained access to previously locked boss equipment: the Guardian of Odeck outfit (5 pieces), Dark Marksman outfit (3 pieces), and one Masked Liberator piece. If you’ve been playing Damiane and feeling gear-starved, this is a meaningful expansion.

Myth: Oongka and Damiane Get the Same Gear as Kliff

Not quite. While Oongka can now equip most Kliff outfits, the 39-piece equipment addition is specifically for “Kliff/Oongka”—meaning shared access, not duplicate sets. Damiane only received 8 new armor pieces and access to select boss equipment. The gear parity isn’t equal across all three characters.

Myth: The Abyss Is Identical for All Characters Now

Oongka and Damiane can now enter the Abyss, but the patch notes specifically mention that Memory Fragment locations for rematchable bosses have been changed to accommodate this. This suggests the Abyss experience may differ slightly between characters, or at minimum that boss encounters have been adjusted. Expect some variance in how each character handles Abyss content.

Myth: All Equipment Is Now Dyeable

The patch improved dyeing significantly—most weapons and secondary weapons can now be dyed, and certain disguise outfits that were previously locked are now dyeable. But “most” isn’t “all.” Some equipment will still have locked color schemes. Check individual pieces before assuming universal dye access.

Honestly, this is a solid mid-cycle patch that addresses the right pain points. The Abyss restriction for Oongka and Damiane has been a common complaint since launch—players who preferred those characters felt locked out of endgame content arbitrarily. That’s fixed now, and the boss equipment additions give them something meaningful to chase.

The new gear itself is mostly cosmetic with some functional elemental resistance options. If you’re already at endgame, the boss outfit grind is the main attraction, and that comes down to how much you care about appearance customization. The Kuku equipment line adds practical utility for specific encounters, but it’s not a power leap that’ll make or break your build.

The Hunter’s Sigil is a quiet quality-of-life win. Passive gathering through bird pets sounds minor, but over dozens of hours of play, it adds up. Combined with the dyeable weapons expansion and the bug fixes (especially the rowboat sinking issue and the Axiom Force targeting improvement), this patch makes the game feel more polished without demanding anything from you. If you’re actively playing Crimson Desert, update and enjoy the new toys. If you’ve drifted away, this probably isn’t the patch that pulls you back—wait for a larger content drop.
