Horizon Zero Dawn - Frozen Wilds Death-Seeker Face Paint

Completing New Game+ on any of the mentioned difficulty settings will unlock the Face Paints for that tier and the Face Paints below it. For example, completing NG+ on Very Hard also unlocks the Hard difficulty Face Paints.

Once players have completed NG+ on Hard, Very Hard, or Ultra Hard, the associated Face Paint rewards will be available for use across all their existing saves.

Note: The rewards also apply to any New Game players will create (not just NG+). Starting a fresh save on any difficulty will still allow you to access all the existing rewards.

How to Apply Face Paints

Face Paints can be equipped by going to the Pause Menu, selecting Settings, and navigating to the General tab.
