Monster Hunter Rise is Capcom's latest entry in the Monster Hunter franchise that is available on Nintendo Switch (make sure you have enough space with one of the best microSD cards). This adventure takes place in a remote village called Kamura, and it's your job to protect it from being destroyed by monsters looking to crush it.
To gain an edge in battle, you must forge armor made from the beasts you slay and materials found in the environment. These armor sets can boost your strength, toughen your defenses, and even grant you the abilities of the monsters you hunt. You can wear a full set or mix and match different armor pieces to create custom builds. We have prepared a list of every armor set in the game to help you decide what to wear in battle.
Once you're done reading, be sure to check out our other guides for Monster Hunter Rise to help get you prepared to become the best hunter you can be. These include primers on weapons, endemic life, Wirebug usage and monsters to hunt.
Monsters are gathering to destroy the peaceful village of Kamura. It is up to you to save it in Capcom's latest entry in the Monster Hunter franchise. Grab your buddies in 4-player online co-op to hunt down vicious monsters, the likes of which the world has never seen.
