Permafrost: How to Craft the Hybrid Clothes Set (and Treated Hide)

Unlock all five Hybrid recipes from Anna, tan pelts into hide, and stitch the set together for 36 Cloth and 17 Treated Hide.

Unlock all five Hybrid recipes from Anna, tan pelts into hide, and stitch the set together for 36 Cloth and 17 Treated Hide.

In Permafrost, the Hybrid clothing set has five pieces. Make them at the Tailoring Bench using Cloth and Treated Hide. The recipes are granted together as a main-story quest reward. You can make Treated Hide at a Tanning Rack using animal pelts and Animal Fat, or buy it from The Mule.

Quick answer: During Breaking the Radio Silence, open the “Quest reward” box on the floor before Anna in the church to get all five recipes. Make the pieces at the Tailoring Bench using 36 Cloth and 17 Treated Hide.


Unlocking the Hybrid recipes in Breaking the Radio Silence

All five Hybrid recipes unlock at once through the main quest Breaking the Radio Silence. The quest reward box unlocks all five Hybrid recipes.

Keep advancing the quest until Icarus’s message has played atop the church roof; the objective will then change to “Talk to Anna”.
Find Anna in the church and speak with her. Your objective then switches to “Collect the blueprints from Anna”; a box marked “Quest reward” will appear on the floor before her.
Open the box. Five banners play in sequence, unlocking Hybrid Boots, Hybrid Gloves, Hybrid Jacket, Hybrid Hat, and Hybrid Pants. The same box also holds a Mountain Backpack.

After you unlock the recipes, the quest tracker displays five crafting objectives. Its first entry is “Craft Utility Boots”, although the unlocked recipe and the resulting item are both called Hybrid Boots. You will not find a distinct Utility Boots recipe at the bench. Making all five Hybrid items completes the objectives, after which the quest advances to “Ask Anna about the next tower”.

The Tailoring Bench itself comes from an earlier story reward (out of Skinwalker’s box at Hunter’s Glade), so make sure you already have it placed before you start gathering materials.


Material cost for the full Hybrid set

Each piece uses only Cloth and Treated Hide. The totals below are what you need in your own inventory before you queue everything up.

Hybrid Jacket115
Hybrid Pants94

For extra Treated Hide, buy it from The Mule at 15 Bucks per piece. In a Survival world, the Horizon trader stocks both Treated Hide and Animal Fat. Animal carcasses also yield Animal Fat, Meat, and Bones.


Making Treated Hide at the Tanning Rack

Treated Hide is made at the Tanning Rack. Unlock its building blueprint for 2 blueprint points, then place the rack using the Building Tool in the building menu’s Utilities tab. Put it near the Tailoring Bench to keep both stations in one workspace.

Every tanning recipe takes one animal pelt plus 2 Animal Fat, with one exception: Treated Hide (Hare) needs two Hare pelts for the same two fat. Because the fat requirement is fixed at two per recipe, plan for double your pelt count in fat. Ten Moose Pelt, for example, calls for 20 Animal Fat.

Aim at the rack and activate the “Tanning Rack” open prompt. Its menu has a WORKBENCH heading and recipes arranged from A to Z. Before the animal-specific options, you will see a basic “Treated Hide” recipe and a Cloth recipe.

Choose the recipe for the pelts in your inventory. Its card displays Min, minus, Craft xN, plus, and Max buttons. Set the quantity to match the pelts you want to process, then select Craft. All pelts and Animal Fat are removed from your inventory immediately, and the batch appears below the recipe list in the queue with a countdown.
Completed hides hang on the rack and are not placed in your inventory. Exit the menu, face the hides, and use the “Treated Hide / Press F Pick up” prompt until none remain.

Crafting the Hybrid pieces at the Tailoring Bench

Once you have 36 Cloth and 17 Treated Hide with you, go to the Tailoring Bench. The materials must be in your inventory rather than stored in a chest, so retrieve them from storage beforehand.

Open the Tailoring Bench and select the shirt-icon clothing tab beneath the WORKBENCH heading. The recipes are Hybrid Boots, Hybrid Gloves, Hybrid Hat, Hybrid Jacket, and Hybrid Pants; Moon Cult pieces appear farther down the list.
Click a piece and press Craft x1. Each card shows two counters in a have/need format, with Cloth as the first icon and Treated Hide as the second. The material drops out of your inventory the moment you queue the piece.

Put all five items in the queue. Each has a short crafting timer, then appears in your inventory with a “+1 Hybrid…” line. Transfer each finished piece from the inventory grid to its corresponding EQUIPMENT slot.

Crafting all five pieces clears the quest objectives, including the mislabelled “Craft Utility Boots” line, and Anna then opens the follow-up about the next tower. That quest hand-off confirms the set is done.


Hybrid set stats and what it does for warmth

The Hybrid Boots, Gloves, Jacket and Pants tooltips each show COLD RES. 32. The armor and value differ by slot.

PieceArmorCold res.Value
Hybrid Boots33245
Hybrid Gloves33263
Hybrid Jacket532—
Hybrid Pants43287

After equipping them, check the STATISTICS panel for the per-slot changes. Replacing the Moon Cult jacket, pants, and boots plus the Tribal gloves with Hybrid gear changes all four slot readings from [-29°C] to [-32°C]. The overall snowflake shield also shifts, from [-30°C] to [-32°C].

The head-slot reading for a Wolf Head Hat is [-35°C], better than the Hybrid Hat’s, so keep the Wolf Head Hat equipped. You still have to craft the Hybrid Hat for the quest.
