You have to either spend money or craft specific layered armors, but once you\u2019ve unlocked them, you will be free to dress up your hunter and Palico to your liking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"712\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-001.jpg\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds armor unlocking\" class=\"wp-image-45212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-001.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-001-380x216.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-001-768x436.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-unlock-layered-armors\">How to unlock layered armors&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Layered armor is the catch-all term for you and your Palico\u2019s clothes and armor appearance. Some layered armor pieces can be bought with real money (such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3117090\/Monster_Hunter_Wilds__Hunter_Layered_Armor_Set_Feudal_Soldier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Feudal Soldier layered armor set<\/a>), while others can be crafted like normal armor pieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To unlock craftable layered armor pieces, you must first unlock High Rank mode by finishing chapter 3 of the main story. Once you\u2019ve gathered the necessary ingredients, you can make High Rank armors by talking to Gemma at the Smithy. Crafting a High Rank armor piece also unlocks the layered armor for that specific piece, which you can use to customize your appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1259\" height=\"708\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1259px) 100vw, 1259px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-002.jpg\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds transmog armor menu\" class=\"wp-image-45214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-002.jpg 1259w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-002-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"monster-hunter-wilds-has-a-lot-of-transmog-options\">Monster Hunter Wilds has a lot of transmog options&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing layered armor pieces is as easy as going to your Tent in any of your Base Camps or Pop-up Camps. Go to the \u201cAppearance Menu\u201d and select either \u201cEquipment Appearance\u201d or \u201cPalico Equipment Appearance\u201d. This will open tabs for each of your layered armor pieces as well as your hunter\u2019s underclothes and pendants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1249\" height=\"709\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1249px) 100vw, 1249px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-003.jpg\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds transmog armor extra features\" class=\"wp-image-45215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-003.jpg 1249w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-003-380x216.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-003-768x436.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You are free to change the appearance of each of these elements and adjust their visibility using the Display Model slider (you cannot have a completely naked hunter, however). Clicking any of the Pigment boxes on the side of a cosmetic piece will open up an extensive color selection which you can use to further customize your hunter and Palico.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Palico has fewer options when it comes to the number of customizable layered armor pieces (you can only change its helmet and body armor), you can hide all of its clothing to reveal the loveable Felyne underneath. Remember to save your changes before leaving the Tent, as all that hard work could go to waste!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1257\" height=\"709\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1257px) 100vw, 1257px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-004.jpg\" alt=\"Monster Hunter Wilds Palico armor options\" class=\"wp-image-45216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-004.jpg 1257w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-004-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250305-45208-004-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to further personalize your Monster Hunter Wilds experience, consider checking out our guides for <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/monster-hunter-wilds-how-to-create-item-loadouts-and-why-theyre-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating item loadouts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/monster-hunter-wilds-how-to-adjust-your-view-and-stop-looking-at-monsters-butts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adjusting your field of view<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/monster-hunter-wilds-seikret-guide-how-to-switch-to-more-precise-controls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tightening those clunky default Seikret controls<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monster Hunter Wilds is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guide on how to unlock layered armor and transmog hunter and Palico armor in Monster Hunter Wilds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":45211,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
