Hunters who enjoy their armor being fashionable as much as it is functional are in luck in Monster Hunter Wilds, with the RPG boasting an abundance of armor sets melded together using parts of the monsters you’ve slain. These armor sets will not only get you through the upcoming hunt, but will also ensure you look as cool as possible while doing so!
You’ll no doubt go through multiple armor sets in Monster Hunter Wilds before settling on a few favourites that you put the time and effort into upgrading, but to help you clearly determine which armor set — or combination or armor sets — is right for you, here’s a list of all armor available in Monster Hunter Wilds.
All Monster Hunter Wilds Armor
In the below tables, we’ve listed all Monster Hunter Wilds armor sets, their defense stats, and any skills that they come with. As you’ll see, most armor sets have their pro’s and con’s, meaning you’ll want to choose a few sets to alternate between — or mix and match sets together — and ultimately upgrade.
Note that we haven’t yet filled in all of the below details, but we’ll be sure to update this as we spend more time with the game!
