Wilds Armor Sets Now Inclusive

Monster Hunter Wilds is breaking down barriers, allowing players to equip any armor set regardless of their character's gender! This exciting change, revealed during a recent Gamescom developer stream, has ignited a wave of positive reactions within the community. Learn more about this game-changing update and its impact on "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 their armor without gender restrictions. Capcom has answered this wish in Monster Hunter Wilds, confirming that all armor sets will be universally accessible to all hunters.

A Capcom developer stated during the Gamescom showcase, "In previous Monster Hunter titles, male and female armor was distinct. I'm pleased to announce that in Monster Hunter Wilds, this distinction is gone. Every character can wear any piece of equipment."

The news has been met with enthusiastic celebration from the Monster Hunter community, particularly among the dedicated "fashion hunters" who prioritize aesthetics. Previously, players were confined to gender-specific designs, missing out on desired armor simply due to its categorization.

Imagine wanting to sport the Rathian skirt as a male hunter, or the imposing Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female hunter, only to find it unavailable. This limitation, coupled with often stereotypical design choices (bulky for males, revealing for females), has been a source of frustration.

The issue extended beyond mere aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, the gender change system required paid vouchers after the initial free one, forcing players to spend real money to achieve their desired look without starting a new game.

While details are still pending, the likely inclusion of a "layered armor" system suggests players can freely combine appearances without compromising stats. This, combined with gender-neutral armor, unlocks unprecedented levels of character customization.

Beyond the armor update, the Gamescom presentation introduced two new formidable monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. To learn more about these and other exciting features in Monster Hunter Wilds, explore the linked article below!
