With any new armor piece being an upgrade on the previous one in the early game, you might look a bit mismatched as you take your first steps into the world of MH Wilds.

How do you mount monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds? With MH Wilds' new wound tech, it pays to keep targeting the same area of a monster as you're battling it out.
