The 3.9.0 update, which is scheduled to go live next week on February 23rd, will introduce the Black Belt armor set, the Defender weapon set, and the Veteran’s Talisman. These are releasing in preparation for the Sunbreak expansion, and are meant to make the life of hunters easier, especially the Defender weapons, which are considerably more powerful than all other starting weapons. Capcom has also released a new trailer to showcase the new gear coming to Monster Hunter Rise with next week’s update. You can check it out below.
