Monster Hunter Wilds: Gender-Locked Armor is a Thing of the Past
Fashion Hunting Enters a New Era
A long-standing wish of Monster Hunter fans has finally been granted. During Gamescom's Monster Hunter Wilds Developer Stream, Capcom announced the elimination of gender-restricted armor sets. This means all hunters, regardless of gender, can now equip any armor piece.
A Capcom developer confirmed the news, stating that unlike previous installments, Monster Hunter Wilds features a unified armor system. The online community erupted with excitement, particularly among "fashion hunters" who prioritize aesthetics. The previous system limited players to gender-specific designs, often resulting in frustration. The inability to wear desired armor simply due to its gender designation was a major drawback.
Imagine wanting that sleek Rathian skirt as a male hunter, or the imposing Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female hunter – only to find it inaccessible. This limitation, coupled with often contrasting design aesthetics (bulky for male, revealing for female), proved problematic.
The issue extended beyond mere aesthetics. Monster Hunter: World's gender change system, requiring paid vouchers after the initial free one, added another layer of inconvenience for players seeking specific armor styles.
While not explicitly confirmed, the likelihood of Wilds retaining the layered armor system from previous games is high. This, combined with the removal of gender restrictions, unlocks a vast spectrum of customization options.
Beyond the gender-neutral armor, the Gamescom stream also unveiled two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For further details on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, refer to the linked article below.
