The Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter World is approaching us rapidly. To help all hunters meet the challenges for Iceborne, Capcom provides some assistance. All hunters will receive strong armor and can earn rewards by helping other players.
What kind of armor is this? Even before the release of the Iceborne expansion, players are given a small aid for the big monster hunt. With an update on September 4th, all players of Monster Hunter: World as well as those of Iceborne will receive the Guardian Armor.
The armor can be upgraded and has higher defense values and some helpful abilities. Players can use the set right from the start, gaining an advantage in the story of Monster Hunter World.
The developers say about the armor that, besides the higher defense, it also possesses optimal skills to survive in the harsh world of Monster Hunter World. The armor is said to be so powerful that it will carry players through the story of the game and can even be used in High Rank.
What is Hunter Helper? Additionally, a new feature has been introduced, allowing players to earn rewards by assisting other hunters.
With Hunter Helper, users can help players in the High and Low ranks at Master Rank. High Rank hunters assist Low Rank players. Players who respond to help requests and complete quests together with other players will receive an additional reward corresponding to their rank. There is also an exclusive in-game trophy for helping teammates.
What is all this for? Hunters must meet a certain requirement to begin with the expansion: They must have completed the main game’s story and reached rank 16.
According to the developers, they aim to assist players with the Guardian Armor and the Hunter Helper system, ensuring that as many players as possible have the opportunity to play Iceborne.
The Iceborne expansion will be released on consoles PS4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2019. The PC release is planned for January 2020.
