Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Boost Bracer for Faster Combat

Fans of heavy weapons have a new reason to get excited about Monster Hunter Wilds. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto recently confirmed that the upcoming Boost Bracer mechanic will allow players to temporarily increase the speed of traditionally slow weapons like the Great Sword and the Hammer.

The team at Capcom designed this new feature to add variety to combat without changing the core personality of each weapon. By using the Boost Bracer, hunters can pull off quicker maneuvers in the heat of battle, giving them more tactical flexibility when facing dangerous monsters.

This change is a big deal for players who love the impact of heavy gear but sometimes struggle with the slower movement speed. It will be interesting to see how this mechanic changes the flow of hunts once the game officially launches.
