In Monster Hunter Wilds it is possible for the first time to combine armor without so -called “gender block”. A monster now receives armor sets that show the full potential of this change and prove why this change was more than overdue.
What is the gender block? Gender block is the restriction of equipment or hairstyles to the gender of the character model. So if you play a female character, you can only use the female design elements and vice versa.
This limits freedom for many fashion lovers, because often individual parts or armor is just the right thing for your own character. Then present in the game, but not usable.
In the previous parts of Monster Hunter it was at least the case that the hairstyles could be chosen freely from a gender block. With Monster Hunter Wilds, however, it is possible for the first time to combine the armor parts without this restriction.
This not only offers completely new opportunities to design the perfect outfit, but also special potential for the design of the individual armor sets.
Attention for players who are not yet through the story: we spoil the final monster here and his upcoming armor.

Armor sets from Zoh Shia show the full potential
With the first big title update, the end boss Zoh Shia will be to be hunted again. So far, it was only possible to make it within history or to join others via the emergency light signal.
If he was moved in history, there were general guardian materials for him. So far, he has not had an individual armor or suitable weapons. That will change on April 4, 2025 with the TU1. Because then Zoh Shia returns in the form of Event Quests and finally brings three own armor sets and a number of weapons.
His armor show what is possible with the cancellation of the gender block: Because Zoh Shia not only notices in his struggle through his iconic attacks, but also receives an epic transformation. He gradually turns his white guards into demonic, black parts of the body.
Exactly this transformation takes up the designs of its armor:
The two variants of the Zoh-Shia armor set can be perfectly combined
The male variant has a demonic upper half and a guards, the female guardian and a demonic lower part. By lifting the gender block, it is possible to put together a complete wake-ended outfit or a complete demon outfit.
This option is only possible by lifting the gender block. Before that, players should have lived with their respective “gender variant”.
As a result, not only a paradise for everyone is ideal, but also, as the example of Zoh Shia shows, another way to capture the special features of the monsters in their equipment.
The decision to lift the gender block and give all hunters the opportunity to let off steam with all existing armor parts for their outfits makes the armoring system of Monster Hunter Wilds the best of the whole series.
If you now want to let off steam with all possible parts, we have put together an overview for you. There you will find all the armor currently in the game and the materials you need: Monster Hunter Wilds: All armor sets of the high rank in the overview
