Capcom has unveiled a distinctive new cosmetic option for your feline companions in Monster Hunter Wilds. The Felyne Papier-Mâché α series layered armor brings a handcrafted aesthetic unlike anything previously seen for Palicos in the game. This purely cosmetic armor set will be craftable using special tickets obtained during the game's seasonal events.
Distinctive Handcrafted Design for Palico Companions
The official Monster Hunter Wilds team revealed this unique Palico armor set on April 24, 2025. Unlike standard gear that affects your companion's stats, this layered armor is purely cosmetic, allowing hunters to customize their Palico's appearance without sacrificing performance.
The armor features an intricate design that mimics traditional papier-mâché craftsmanship, offering a visually striking alternative to the typical metal and monster-part aesthetics common in the game. The announcement was accompanied by an image showcasing the distinctive design in detail.
How to Obtain the Felyne Papier-Mâché α Set
According to the announcement, players will need to collect special tickets exclusively available during seasonal events to craft this unique armor set. This acquisition method mirrors how special layered armor for hunters is typically obtained in the Monster Hunter series.
What Makes This Armor Special?
The Felyne Papier-Mâché α series stands out from other Palico armors due to its unique aesthetic approach. While most Palico gear in Monster Hunter Wilds follows the game's realistic monster-hunting theme, this set introduces an artistic, handcrafted look that adds visual variety to the customization options.
For players looking to see more details about this new armor set, the official Monster Hunter social media accounts have shared images and additional information through their X/Twitter post.
As the February 28, 2025 release date for Monster Hunter Wilds approaches, Capcom continues to reveal new customization options and content to build anticipation among the hunting community.
