Hybrid armour is a type of armour requiring level 85 defence, along with other requirements such as Strength, Ranged, and Magic (depending on the kind of armour) to wear. Currently you only need to be 85 defence to wear the armour, if you do not meet this requirement you can still acquire it but you won't be able to wear it until you reach 85 defence.<ref>

Hybrid armour is purely cosmetic except when worn in the following PvP activities:

Note that while you obtain hybrid armour from Pest Control, inside of Pest Control they provide no bonuses.

When playing the above listed activities, you will deal extra damage against other players. For each piece you have on, you will deal an extra 3% of damage. Only the set with the most pieces will account for the damage boost meaning you cannot mix sets for the bonus damage. This means if you are wearing 3 pieces of battle-mage and 2 pieces of vanguard you will only get 9% damage boost instead of 15%. While wearing the full set of hybrid armour, a total of 15% extra damage is dealt on other players. In Castle Wars this damage bonus does not stack with the Castle Wars armour sets. The hybrid helmet does not need to be worn in Castle Wars to gain the 15% extra damage, but you must have the appropriate helmet in your bank.

Hybrid armour pieces are untradeable.

The three types of hybrid armour are as follows:

The Body Selection Screen

Armour pieces are obtained after winning in the activities stated below. An interface will appear from which you can choose which set you would like the item to be. This item will then appear in your inventory. If your inventory is full when the interface pops up, you are allowed to drop an item without the hybrid drop interface closing. The random chance of getting a piece improves as you win more games. Therefore the more games you win, the better chance you have of obtaining a piece of armour. The items can be received as follows:

Helm Castle Wars
Body TzHaar Fight Pit

Gloves Fist of Guthix
Boots Pest Control

Rarity Notes

Body from TzHaar Fight Pit - It is unknown how many games are needed to be played in order to receive this armour, but reports show that most people acquire their first piece at around 300 wins. All 3 can take approximately 350 wins. If boosting, it will take around 90 seconds per win, assuming your partner forfeits after the fight signal is given. You must click the "Click here to continue" button in the textbox after you win for a chance for the drop interface.

Helmet from Castle Wars - On average, over 60 - 80 wins is the number at which most people start getting them. The first time you get a piece, the drop interface appears before, then, after the end game interface appears. After getting your first hybrid helmet, the other two will take at most 10 more wins.

Gloves from Fist of Guthix- On average, 150 wins is the number at which most people start getting them. In terms of rating, it has been reported that an average increase of 1500 to 1600 rating accompanies getting all 3 pairs. World 115 used to be the unofficial boosting world, in which whoever started as the hunter would forfeit the game, while the hunted would win. Boosting as stated above would take about 250-300 tokens for your first gloves, but your rating would decrease dramatically (expect to lose around 2000 rating until your first gloves). While playing Fist of Guthix in a F2P world, it is not possible to obtain the gloves; however, games won in free to play will count towards increasing the chance to obtaining them.

Boots from Pest Control - On average, 550 wins is the number at which most people start getting them; which is eqivalent to over 1,100 commendations. However, in order to get all 3 you must play an upwards of 600 to 700 games. It is required to click through the dialogue for the interface to appear. For faster wins, take the Novice boat and take a group of high levels for maximum efficiency. Remember not to spam click the gangplank to get in the lander you may miss your chance to achieve your hybrid boots.

Bottom from Soul Wars - On average, 100 wins or 300-400 zeal is the number at which most people start getting them. Getting all 3 hybrid bottoms may also require considerably more wins. It is ​not necessary to click through Nomad/Zimberfizz's end game dialogue to get the drop interface to appear. However, if the game is completed and you are in "Ghost-Form", the click-to-continue dialogue at the end of the game may close, though it does not prevent the interface from appearing.

As of the 6 September 2011 update, if you close the interface by accident (like when your familiar re-appears next to you) you will get a second chance and it will open again for you to choose what piece you want. This makes it easier to get certain pieces when having a familiar summoned, as it used to close the interface at the end of the game. Note that the interface will only re-open once.

Trivia

  • You obtain hybrid helms from Castle Wars, even though helms are not allowed in Castle Wars.
  • Once you have chosen a piece of hybrid equipment, it will be recorded in your Adventurer's Log.
  • On the Items Kept On Death screen, a Battle-mage body, Trickster body, or Vanguard body is worth 175,000,000 gold coins. However, they cannot be alchemised or sold to a store, and if somebody loses one in a PvP zone it will simply be dropped on the floor, and can be picked up by the person losing it, like crystal equipment.
  • It USED to be possible to obtain two or more pieces after a single game. When you selected one piece it would have asked if you wanted to leave without selecting an item (if you are lucky enough to get two). If you had then clicked no, then the second selection screen will come up.
  • Losing or tying in one of the mini-games does not count towards obtaining a hybrid armour piece.
