Now, no matter what character you decide to make when you create your avatar for the game, you will be able to equip all variations of armor without any restriction.<\/p>\n

Typically, Monster Hunter games have locked you into one of two variants depending on the make-up of your custom character, but in the upcoming title, every single player will be able to equip an A or B variant of each gear set. I even experimented with mixing and matching; it was possible to use the ‘male’ version of a Chatucabra head and the ‘female’ version of the Chatucabra body in the same loadout.
