Monster Hunter World’s first (and last) major expansion is out now with Iceborne, introducing a new region, heaps of new weapons and armor, and Master Rank to the game. The latest update accompanying it has also brought several changes and new features for the base game. If you’re on PS4 and Xbox One, it may be worth logging in and playing around with the new stuff.

Guardian Armor is available for free to everyone and provides very strong defenses. If you want a set for completing High Rank quests or jumping into Iceborne, then this should work well. There’s the new Clutch Claw, which lets you grapple onto monsters; new moves and combos with each weapons; and increased Palico level and gadget proficiency.

Hunter Helper has also been added, rewarding High Rank players with Gold and Silver Wyverian Prints for helping Low Rank players. Pendants can also be earned that dangle off of your weapon of choice. Of course, weapons have also been changed up, with the Gunlance and Insect Glaive seeing buffs, while weapons like the Bow and Longsword have been slightly nerfed. Check out the full changes here.
