This mysterious armor is a treat for anyone who likes a proper dark crow theme. The set does come for both male and female characters, but the female version is much more popular at the moment.
From feather adornments to metallic accessories to black leather hoods, everything about this set is incredibly detailed and polished. The mod replaces the visuals for the Guild Cross Layered set, so players should keep that in mind if they decide to try this particular reskin.
6Ronin Clothes
Many people enjoy the aesthetics of a samurai, and this mod brings forth a fantastic version of a Ronin look. From bold tattoos to easy and flowing clothes, everything about the armor is just right. The armor fits almost any playstyle, but Longsword fans mightappreciate it just a bit more.
The skin changes the Glavenus Alpha Armor, so players should consider if the stats are acceptable for their build before diving in. Overall it’s a great addition that adds an awesome new vibe to the beloved game.
5Demon Armor (Women’s and Men’s)

To date, this is the author’s most popular creation, and it’s not difficult to see why. The bold red, combined with an edgy appeal to it, really sets it apart from many similar mods and sets. While being a touch more grounded, it still fits really well into the game’s over-the-top aesthetics and adds something of its own on top of it.
It should be noted that the author has many other sets and items, and if players enjoy their style, it is definitely worth checking out the entire collection.
4Sakura
Endorsements - 3,472
This neat dress has captured the hearts of many players and is one of the mostpopular “unique” skins for armor. It adds a certain amount of levity to the game but does look a little ridiculous when wielding massive, dinosaur-sized weapons. But isn’t that the whole point?
The colors and accessories match perfectly, and one can really see the author’s attention to detail. Overall, it’s a great piece of armor for those looking to expand their wardrobes and bring their own stylized flair to fighting giant monsters.
3Free Everything
Endorsements - 5,524
While many consider this more of a cheat than a mod, it is nonetheless one of the most downloaded armor mods on the Nexus website. Aside from different consumables and items, this mod gives players access to pretty much anything without needing to grind for it.
While that might be the point ofMonster Hunter: World, many players simply don’t have the time to track down and smack a Teostra for hours on end, and some may just want to try all the goodies and go against the hardest fights as soon as they are able to.
2NieR: Automata - YoRHa No 2 Type B and Pod 042
Endorsements - 6,818
2B, from the highly popularNieR: Automata, has finally made it to the monster hunting scene, albeit in the form of a mod. Given that Geralt of Rivia himself has recently joined the roster, it is no wonder that players are looking formore beloved video game charactersto join the hunt.
The model has been recreated with meticulous detail, really making her feel at home in the world ofMonster Hunter: World. For fans of the original series, this mod is an absolute treat, and those curious should definitely give it a try.
1MHW Costume Armor
Endorsements - 13,435
Given how many other armor mods completely replace the look of a single vanilla armor set, this mod is truly a godsend. Essentially, it allowsMonster Hunter: Worldplayers to swap the visuals for any armor while retaining all the stats and bonuses, which can prove to be especially helpful.
Even without including modded sets, there are plenty of different armor visuals in the game, and the best stats don’t always coincide with the best visuals. Being able to fully control both the bonuses and the visuals is a fantastic addition, even on its own.
