Once the armor is collected, the obtained gameplay bonus remains permanently in effect. Fully collecting a set will grant a gameplay bonus such as inflicting additional damage to specific enemy groups or bonus collected bolts. Each complete armor set comes in threes, one each for the head, chest and legs similar to Size Matters. The functionality of wearing them however is purely cosmetic and the system has more in common with Insomniac's previous games Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The game features armor that can be obtained from collectible armor pods found in pocket dimensions or by completing challenges. When Clank is not present, the Lombaxes will employ the use of their Glide Boots to perform the same exact function. When Clank is on Ratchet or Rivet's back, his Heli-pack can be used to glide by holding whilst in the air. Using, they can aim at another Mag Surface with a target reticle and press to Mag Jump to it. Whilst standing on specific Mag Surfaces, Ratchet and Rivet can use their Magneboots to walk along them at any angle. They can be used by holding and pumped using or repeatedly to activate the accelerator. The Hoverboots also return with new enhancements and can be used much easier for use in and out of combat. The Lombaxes also have access to their own O2 filtrator masks which supply them with oxygen, allowing them to survive underwater and in space.

Additionally, pressing whilst moving will toggle a sprint function, allowing Ratchet and Rivet to run faster. The second is called the Phantom Dash, allowing him to run horizontally along specific wall panels and perform a short dash forward that will make him intangible for a very brief period to phase through barriers and enemy attacks. He and Rivet can also use it to pull open gaps in the damaged dimensions to access pocket dimensions, where they can complete platforming challenges to reach new armor pods. The first of which is known as the Rift Tether allowing him and Rivet to pull themselves towards rifts to quickly travel across battlefields or to reach inaccessible areas. Though most of Ratchet's moveset is identical to that of the previous Ratchet & Clank (2016 game), he has two new glove gadgets in his Omniglove that he acquires early into the game. The Topiary Sprinkler resembles the Miniturret Glove, but instead shoots streams of water, that cause plants to sprout on anything it touches and traps enemies for a brief period of time. The Enforcer is a double-barrel shotgun resembling the Shock Cannon, which uses the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers to give tension if the player holds their finger down half-way they can fire one trigger, or two if they pull it all the way. The Shatterbomb is an explosive weapon similar to the Fusion Grenade.
