Layered Armor allows players to customize their appearance without sacrificing the skills and defence levels you want. Players can purchase Layered Armor for their Hunter in the Nintendo eShop, or by scanning in the Monster Hunter Rise amiibo. As of the Version 2.0 Update, players can also forge Layered Armor for their Hunter at any Smithy. Buddies can use Layered Armor as well, which can be accessed when trying to customize their appearance.
Monster Hunter Rise allows for a wide variety of player expression. While the DLC isn t required to enjoy the game to the fullest, it s nice to have some extra options if you ever want to change up your look. The vast amount of content at hand, alongside the amazing gameplay, definitely makes this one of the best games available on the Nintendo Switch.
