Monster Hunter Wilds is breaking down barriers, allowing players to equip any armor set regardless of their character's gender! This exciting news has sent ripples of joy through the community, especially among "fashion hunters." Learn more about this game-changing update and the fan reaction.
Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor
Fashion Hunting: The Ultimate Endgame
For years, Monster Hunter players have longed for the freedom to wear any armor, regardless of their character's gender. That dream is now a reality! Capcom, during their Gamescom Developer Stream, announced that gender restrictions on armor sets are 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, that's no longer the case. All characters can wear any gear."
The Monster Hunter community erupted with excitement, particularly the dedicated fashion hunters who prioritize aesthetics. The previous limitations meant missing out on desired armor solely based on its gender designation.
Imagine wanting that stylish Rathian skirt as a male hunter, or sporting the imposing Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female hunter – only to find it unavailable. This frustrating limitation often saw male armor being bulky and female armor overly revealing, neither appealing to all players.
The problem extended beyond aesthetics. Monster Hunter: World's gender change system, requiring paid vouchers after the initial free one, added another layer of frustration for players wanting specific armor looks.
While not explicitly stated, Wilds will likely retain the layered armor system from previous games, allowing players to combine looks without sacrificing stats. This, combined with the removal of gender restrictions, unlocks a whole new level of character customization.
Beyond the armor update, Gamescom also revealed two new monsters joining the hunt: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For more details on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, check out the related article!
