Newest Monster Hunter Rise Update Adds Better Tools For Beginners Ahead of Sunbreak

The new Monster Hunter Rise update is available today, and adds a variety of new tools for players looking to catch up in the game ahead of next year’s Sunbreak expansion.

Dubbed the Guild Cross Armor, this set has a bunch of skills perfect for beginners, to make the early hunting experience easier and get them through the early part of the game.

The skills include Geologist and Botanist, so gathering materials should be a lot faster thanks to these skills.

There’s also Wirebug Whisperer and Wall Runner, which should also help new players get accustomed to the variety of mobility options available in Monster Hunter Rise.

Note that the armor set only has a total defense of 120, so you’ll still need to get a better set down the line for those hoping for a set to carry them through the game.

If you’re just a fan of the aesthetic, the Guild Cross set is also available as a layered armor, so you’ll be able to rock the medieval knight look without using the Low Rank armor.

On top of that you’ll also receive a Legacy Talisman, which you’ll be able to redeem way before you actually unlock talismans in the game. Just like the Guild Cross set, this has useful skills to smooth out the start of the game.

Finally, this update also sees the next Capcom collaboration quest in Monster Hunter Rise , adding Arthur from Ghosts n Goblins as a layered armor.
