Exclusive Armor Restrictions Lift for Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds is breaking barriers by allowing players to equip any armor set regardless of their character's gender! This significant change has been met with enthusiastic approval from fans, revolutionizing the concept of "fashion hunting."

Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor

Fashion Hunting Takes Center Stage

For years, Monster Hunter players have longed for the freedom to choose their armor without gender restrictions. This wish is finally granted in Monster Hunter Wilds! During the Gamescom Developer Stream, Capcom confirmed the removal of gender-locked armor sets.

A Capcom developer stated, "In previous Monster Hunter games, male and female armor was separate. I'm pleased to announce that in Monster Hunter Wilds, that's no longer the case. All characters can wear any gear."

The Monster Hunter community erupted in celebration, particularly among fashion hunters who prioritize aesthetics. The previous system limited players to gender-specific designs, preventing access to desirable armor pieces.

Imagine wanting to wear the Rathian skirt as a male hunter, or sporting the Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female hunter – only to find these options unavailable. This limitation was particularly frustrating, as male armor often favored bulky designs, while female armor sometimes featured more revealing styles than some players preferred.

The limitations extended beyond mere aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, for example, changing gender required purchasing vouchers, adding an unnecessary financial barrier for players seeking specific armor styles.

While details are still pending, Monster Wilds will likely incorporate the "layered armor" system from previous games, allowing players to combine appearances without compromising stats. This, combined with the removal of gender restrictions, unlocks a vast array of customization options.

Beyond the gender-neutral armor, Gamescom also revealed two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For more information on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, see the link below!
