Updated: Monster Hunter Armor Sets Now Inclusive

Monster Hunter Wilds breaks down gender barriers, allowing players to equip any armor set regardless of character gender! This exciting news has sparked enthusiastic reactions from fans, revolutionizing the concept of "fashion hunting."

Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor

Fashion Hunting Enters a New Era

For years, Monster Hunter players have longed for the freedom to choose armor based on style, not gender. That dream is now a reality! Capcom's Gamescom Developer Stream revealed a significant change for Monster Hunter Wilds: the elimination of gender-restricted armor sets.

A Capcom developer confirmed, "In previous Monster Hunter games, male and female armor was separate. In Monster Hunter Wilds, that's no longer the case. All characters can wear any gear."

The Monster Hunter community erupted with joy, particularly among "fashion hunters" who prioritize aesthetics. The previous limitations meant missing out on desired armor simply due to its gender designation.

Imagine wanting the Rathian skirt as a male hunter, or the Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female hunter – only to find it unavailable. This restriction was particularly frustrating, as male armor often leaned towards bulky designs, while female armor was sometimes more revealing than preferred.

The limitations extended beyond aesthetics. Monster Hunter: World's gender change system, requiring paid vouchers after the initial free one, added an extra layer of difficulty for players wanting specific armor looks.

While not officially confirmed, the likely inclusion of a "layered armor" system, similar to previous titles, suggests players can mix and match appearances without compromising stats. This, combined with the removal of gender locks, unlocks unprecedented possibilities for character customization.

Beyond the armor update, Gamescom also unveiled two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For more details on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, see the link below!
