Revision 1

The Mount Armor entry in the Developer Roadmap: April to June 2026 covers Pearl Abyss's plan to extend dedicated armor support to non-horse mounts in Crimson Desert. The system is part of the broader pets-and-mounts track that the roadmap groups with new summonable mounts and additional pet types.

Roadmap Scope

• Dedicated armor sets for non-horse mounts. The current armor system covers horses; the roadmap explicitly extends it.

• Customization for both protection and appearance. The roadmap describes the work as covering visual appearance in addition to combat stats, so the feature is broader than a stat patch.

• Pairs with the broader mount expansion. The same roadmap track adds Summonable Mounts and additional Pets.

• Names and specifics may change before each feature ships. Pearl Abyss flagged this caveat at announcement.

Status as of Patch 1.04.00

Patch 1.04.00 did not ship the non-horse mount armor system as part of its content drop. The patch focused on the difficulty selector, specialized storage, the bird pet category, the Cloudcart's conversion to a permanent mount, and the Greymane Camp expansion. Mount Armor remains a pending roadmap item; the next ship windows fall in May and June 2026.

Currently Available Mount Armor

Until the dedicated non-horse mount armor system ships, the following coverage exists:

• Horses retain their existing saddle and barding system. See All Saddles for the full saddle list.

• Cloudcart does not currently support armor and was not changed in 1.04 to do so.

• Marni's Mechahorse cannot equip armor and cannot fight, per the limitations on this special mount.

• Pet Equipment, including the new Pororin Pet Shop, covers cosmetic gear for the new pet category but is separate from mount armor.
