New Monster Hunter Wilds Armor Options Now Available To All

Monster Hunter Wilds is breaking barriers! Players can now equip any armor set, regardless of character gender. This exciting development, revealed at Gamescom, has sparked enthusiastic reactions from fans and marks a significant shift in the game's fashion aspect.

Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor

Fashion Hunting: The Ultimate Goal

For years, Monster Hunter players have longed for the freedom to choose their armor without gender restrictions. That dream is now a reality! Capcom announced during their Gamescom developer stream that gender-locked armor is a thing of the past in Monster Hunter Wilds.

A Capcom developer confirmed, "In previous Monster Hunter games, male and female armor was separate. In Monster Hunter Wilds, all characters can wear any gear."

The Monster Hunter community, particularly the passionate "fashion hunters," erupted with joy. Previously, players were limited to gender-specific designs, missing out on desired armor purely due to its assigned gender.

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

This issue extended beyond simple aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, changing character gender required vouchers, with only the first being free. Subsequent changes cost real money, forcing players to pay to achieve their desired look without starting a new save file.

While not officially confirmed, Monster Hunter Wilds will likely retain the layered armor system from previous games. This allows players to combine their favorite looks without compromising stats, creating limitless fashion possibilities.

Beyond the gender-neutral armor, Capcom showcased two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For a deeper dive into Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, see the linked article below!
