Monster Hunter Wilds Players Have One Big Issue With Artian Weapons

Fans of Monster Hunter Wilds have come together to express their disappointment with the appearance of Artian Weapons in the popular action RPG. Monster Hunter Wilds has proven to be a massive success, as it sold eight million copies within its first three days of release and has become Capcom’s fastest-selling title ever.

As the title matures, more and more players are reaching the endgame, giving them the ability to craft High Rank weapons and armor in Monster Hunter Wilds. This tends to require a lot of time and dedication, as acquiring all the materials to craft such gear is typically attained by repeating monster fights and farming them for parts. In order to do this efficiently, some gamers prefer to capture monsters instead of slaying them, which involves collecting crafting components from the title’s open world. Unfortunately, not all of the game’s High Rank weapons have received a warm welcome from fans.

Monster Hunter Wilds Player Shares Big Tip for Gathering Resources

One Monster Hunter Wilds player shares a useful tip for gathering valuable resources in Capcom’s popular action role-playing game.

In a recent post on Reddit, devid-grade shared that they find Monster Hunter Wilds‘ Artian weapons to be so ugly they don’t want to use them, even if it means wielding ones that deal less damage. Many fans agreed, with some stating that fashion is more important than function when playing their character. Others pointed out that, while Artian weapons may be more powerful, they might not be as useful as other options. ParasiteFire said they would be using the Lala Barina weapons because they “look so good” and have the ability to paralyze monsters, which is generally useful in any fight.

Monster Hunter Wilds Players Think Artian Weapons Are Ugly

In addition to largely agreeing with devid-grade, many fans expressed frustration about the lack of weapon customization in the game. When choosing how a hunter looks, players have the option of equipping layered armor in Monster Hunter Wilds. This is essentially a transmog system that allows gamers to take any High Rank gear and use it as their appearance instead of what they actually have equipped. Furthermore, layered armor itself can be customized by changing its pigment, giving fans a lot of control over how they look. Unfortunately, this isn’t true for weapons, which has many gamers upset. Several people pointed out that there are so many different designs within the title that they can’t believe Capcom has locked players into using a single style if they want to wield the most powerful weapons.

Fans looking for more appearance options may want to consider participating in Monster Hunter Wilds‘ first limited event quests, which include a unique piece of layered headgear as a reward. Capcom has stated that it already has plans for more limited-time events, which will likely debut at some point in the near future. With so much content to explore and even more on the way, many players are feeling optimistic about the future of Monster Hunter Wilds.
