Monster Hunter has a strange game loop. If I told you that there was a game solely based around murdering animals and using their skin to make outfits and then head back out wearing their body parts to murder more of them you’d probably think that was sick. And not in a good way.
But it is good! In fact, it’s great, addictive fun. Monster Hunter Rise captures this magic loop perfectly, as Capcom has managed to do for every game in the series. As with previous entries, there’s huge new DLC coming this year, and with it, there’s new Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak armor on the way too.
So, get ready for some beast slaying and armor making with all the armor we’ve seen so far. While you wait for the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak release date, we’ve got a guide to the new Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak monsters if you want to know what creatures you’ll slay, or a Monster Hunter Rise amiibo guide if you want to put these creatures pride of place on your shelf.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak armor
Capcom has revealed a few monsters’ armor so far, which you can see below. We’re yet to see the armor for the elder dragon Malzeno, or the Astalos armor (although it may look similar to the Monster Hunter Generations Astalos armor).

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Garangolm armor
Garangolm is a fanged beast that looks a bit like a gorilla. They have a stony shell covered in bits of moss. The armor replicates its helm and shell, as you can see above.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Shogun Ceanataur armor
The Shogun Ceanataur is a nasty, nasty crab, a big bad hard-shelled meany that no one likes. If you want to grab that great looking armor above, you’re going to have to bash through that mean thing’s head.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Blood Orange Bishaten armor
Bishaten, the crazy monkey baseball pitcher that everyone hates, is coming back, but this time with flaming pinecones to make the experience nicer for everyone involved. Like many of the new armours, theirs has a mask, but unlike others, it also has wings.
That’s just a handful of the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak armors you can find, so be sure to come back for more as they’re announced. Check out our Monster Hunter Rise: weapons guide to work out what you’ll be using to get the armor you want.
