Rarity 3 Armor Sets – Monster Hunter World
If you’ve made it to the Rarity 3 level of armor, congratulations, you’re now entering the grind your ass off portion of the game. If you want most of the armor sets listed, you are gonna have to work for them. With that being said, there are still higher tiers, which means this is somewhat of a gatekeeper level. You want sets? Go out and grind for them. These sets start seperating the Hunters from the… non-hunters. Check out the Rarity 3 armor sets below.
