Deviant Equipment

Learn how Deviant Equipment in Monster Hunter Generations is special, why it's viable for endgame, and how its armor and weapons upgrade.

Hey there, Hunter! So you've been taking down those tough Deviant monsters and noticed some pretty sweet-looking gear popping up? That's Deviant Equipment, and it's seriously special stuff in Monster Hunter Generations. Unlike most gear that you'll outgrow, Deviant gear starts strong and stays strong, all the way to the endgame. Plus, Deviant weapons give you a nice boost by recharging your Hunting Arts faster!

When it comes to Deviant armor, it's really designed to be worn as a full set. You'll get a cohesive set of skills with hardly any negative points, which is super convenient. And let's be honest, they just look incredibly cool, making you stand out in the field. To get started with any Deviant armor or weapons, you'll need to forge them at level 1 using special tickets, even if you're tackling low-rank Deviant quests. As you upgrade your armor, you'll need higher-level tickets along with the usual monster parts.

Here's a pro-tip: don't stop upgrading your Deviant armor at level 6! Pushing it further unlocks even more skills. Your armor might seem a bit basic at level 1 with some skills you might not even use, but trust me, by the time you reach level 10, you'll have some of the best gear in the game. Your weapons will also keep getting better, with continuous increases in power and sharpness as you upgrade them.
