Rubber Set Locations and Acquisition in Breath of the Wild
Then, the Rubber Helm and Rubber Armor can be found in the Gerudo Highlands or purchased from select merchants. Collecting all three pieces will complete the set and activate the Shock Guard bonus.

Upgrade Materials for the Rubber Set
The Rubber Set cannot be upgraded like some other armor sets, but its base electric resistance is effective for stormy areas and enemy attacks. For enhanced protection, focus on wearing multiple pieces together to maximize the set bonus.
When to Use the Rubber Set
The Rubber Set is essential for:
- Exploring areas with frequent lightning storms
- Surviving combat against electric-based enemies, like Electric Wizzrobes or Thunderblight Ganon
- Traversing highlands or open areas during thunderstorms, where standard Flame Guard or armor is insufficient
Equipping the full set provides the best defense against electric attacks and makes stormy exploration significantly safer.
