How To Get Layered Armor In Monster Hunter Wilds

Players want to know how to get layered armor in Monster Hunter Wilds, because who doesn’t want to look “fabulous” while slaying monsters like Arkveld? Early-game fashion can be a bit of a mess, as you often end up wearing whatever gives you the best stats, resulting in a wild mix of colors and styles. It’s even trickier because you’re not sure how to change color in Monster Hunter Wilds, and asking Gemma the Blacksmith for help is of no use as well.

If you’re tired of looking like you just raided a thrift store, here’s how to get layered armor in Monster Hunter Wilds as well as how to change color in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to Get Layered Armor in Monster Hunter Wilds

You can access the Equipment Appearance menu from your tent at any time to hide your armor or equip any pre-order DLC cosmetics. However, you won’t fully unlock layered armor until you reach High Rank. After you defeat the Yian Kut-Ku in the Scarlet Forest, you can talk to Gemma, who will explain how the layered armor system works.

Unfortunately, this means you’ll have to get through all of Low Rank wearing a mix of different colored armor pieces before you can really focus on your fashion.

The good news is that creating layered armor is straightforward. You just need to craft High Rank armor as you normally would. Unlike in Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise, where you need special tickets to create layered armor, any armor piece you craft will automatically become layered armor.

How to Equip Layered Armor

To equip your layered armor or change its visibility, head to your tent. From there, go to the Appearance Menu on the far right and select Equipment Appearance. Here’s how it works:

The leftmost slot lets you choose and equip your layered armor.
The toggle in the center allows you to show or hide your armor, and you can do this from the start of the game.
The two pigment slots on the right let you change the color of your displayed armor, but this feature unlocks alongside layered armor.
The bottom two slots let you add pendants to your weapon for extra flair.

How to Change Color in Monster Hunter Wilds

Once you’ve unlocked layered armor, learning how to change color in Monster Hunter Wilds is easy. Just go to the pigment slots in the Appearance Menu and select the colors you want. This allows you to customize your look and make your hunter stand out in the field.

Now that you know how to get layered armor in Monster Hunter Wilds, you can turn your hunter into the most fashionable monster slayer around. For more MHW content, stay tuned to RetroNoob.
