Capcom continues to delight fans with new details about Monster Hunter Wilds. In the fresh previews and reviews, details of monsters, improvements in the convenience of the game and other innovations were revealed. Among them, a new mechanic stands out – the addition of equipment skills to weapons.
According to the PlayStation Blog, for example, the Buster Sword 1 (one of the Big Swords) has the skill of “Critical Draw” (Critical Draw), which is ideal for this type of weapon. At the same time, Bone Blade 2 includes the skills of “Focus” and “Attack Boost” (Attack Boost).
This allows you to free slots on talismans and armor decorations for other skills, such as increased protection or health. Moreover, such a system is especially convenient for players using two types of weapons: now when switching, for example, from the Great Sword to the Long Sword, you do not need to radically change the bill, at least in the early and middle stages of the game.
Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on February 28, 2025 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
