Sunbreak Content Still Locked

Even though the update releases earlier on Nintendo Switch, the Sunbreak-exclusive content will remain exclusive. Things like the weapon balance changes, high rank Defender weapons, and Black Belt S armor set are the only updates currently accessible.

Sunbreak DLC Complete Guide

Patch 10.0 Main Additions

New Defender Weapons

High Rank Defender Weapons Trees have been extended. These weapons are known for having decent sharpness and attack, with some imbued with Blast as well. New players who are catching up can pretty much prepare for the Sunbreak Expansion with just these weapons alone.

Black Belt S Armor Set

The Black Belt Armor Set will also be getting a High Rank version to help hunters catch up to the Sunbreak Expansion. Considering the low rank version's skills, we can expect Black Belt Armor S to host a comfortable blend of survivability and damage through skills such as Attack Boost, Earplugs, Recovery Up as well.

Black Belt Armor Set Skills and Forging Materials (Low Rank)

Balance Changes Affecting All Players

The new title update will feature multiple weapon balance changes that will affect all players. In addition, even those without Sunbreak will continue to receive free item packs and character edit vouchers following this update.

As with previous updates, downloading it will be required for online play. Be sure to check our Tier List after the update for all the changes from the new weapon balance changes!
