Palico Equipment and Armor Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds
Palico gear, like a hunter’s, enhances their stats and abilities, with different sets offering unique benefits against specific monsters. It includes weapons, armor, and an equipment slot, each with elemental attributes affecting combat effectiveness.
What is Palico Equipment and Gear?
Equipment and gear play a crucial role in enhancing a Palico's performance in battle. Palicoes have 3 slots for their gear with one being for the Palico weapon and the rest for Armor. Just like a hunter's gear, Palico equipment has various elemental attributes, each with its own effects, such as Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, and Dragon, which can influence effectiveness against certain monsters.
The materials for crafting and upgrading Palico gear are primarily obtained by hunting and defeating monsters, making gear progression an integral part of the gameplay.

In addition to the various resistances provided by your Palico’s armor, your companion’s weapon also has an attack type, which indicates the category of damage it deals such as Blunt or Severing.
In the Palico Equipment Info section, you can view the stats of the currently equipped gear. For example, the Felyne Hope Overalls provide specific elemental resistances. This information helps you decide which equipment best suits your needs based on the type of monster you’re facing, allowing you to create an optimal gear set.

Additionally, under the Status menu, you can see the combined stats of all equipped gear. This gives you a broader overview of your Palico’s total defenses and resistances, helping you choose the best setup for any given situation.
