All Secret Armors and Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a variety of exciting new armor and weapon sets, each crafted from materials obtained by hunting the vast roster of monsters. However, hidden within the game are 14 secret armor sets and 2 unique secret weapons that can't be crafted by standard means. Unlike typical gear sets tied directly to monster encounters, these secret pieces require players to gather specific, often elusive materials through methods like Material Gathering, Special Trading, or via the Support Ship.
Unlocking these hidden sets can be challenging, as their required materials aren't always obvious. Hunters must pay close attention to special trading interactions, gather special materials from unique locations, or even track rare appearances of the Support Ship.
Additionally, players should watch out for special event quests, as completing these missions and obtaining the rewards is key to unlocking limited-time gear.
Below is a complete guide to unlocking all secret armor and weapons available in Monster Hunter Wilds.
