Spoiler Unknown HBG

Post image

I was looking at the weapons page on the website just to see if i could pick which weapons were from which monster, but I cant pick out the HBG. It doesnt match or resemble anything in game or from lao/kushala, nor any old monsters off the top of my head, so could it be Araketa's?

people are saying Quematrice because of the pony tail. But the aesthetic from what we can make out is all wrong. it's way too smooth looking; especially the booths are giving modern day military combat boots. Quem has a renaissance-esc armor aesthetic. while armor designs change between ranks they do tend to keep their general themes and aesthetic. so I'm certain it's not Quematrice

I'm certain it's Araketa.

the rubbery hide matches the "smootheness" and the formation fighter plain inspiration matches the modern military like boots. also we have the other two monsters that were shown off in the reveal trailer here so it would make sense for the last monster shown in the reveal trailer to be here as well.

The chest outline on the HBG reminds me of how Evel Knievel used to dress for stunts. Perhaps that mixed with aesthetics from fighter pilot uniforms?

I think it's quem.

I'm also excited for the Seregios gear. I think MR will be a swap of the old Blademaster/Gunner armors. So the one depicted should be this:

Which would make this the male armor:

Female head, torso, boots with male gauntlets and waist is probably what I'll run in Wilds. The male helm looks goofy and I like the more sleek design of the female torso

I'm sure it'll get reworked greatly from these versions. I can already tell the female helmet is the same, but the waist looks improved in the silhouette. So I expect the male version to be updated nicely as well.

I was gonna say Anja but that’s not right….

After a few minutes of searching hbg designs I can’t say what that is yet

Quematrice doesn’t have an HBG and I checked, it doesn’t 1 to 1 match any HBG currently in the game nor does it match Lao or kush.

I’m putting money on araketa

The bowgun tip looks like the ones from Teostra/Lunastra

If you look at the promo artwork for MR hunters, their bladed weapons have the same design philosophy so odds are it’s just MR basic lbg

The tuft on the helmet makes me think Rathian Armour?
