Do i need the DLC as a beginner?

[Eren Jäger]

Hey guys. I played a little bit Wild Hearts but i want to play the original. Do you know if I need the dlc when I start the game as a beginner or does the content only unlock when you finish the main story?

thx in advance

No. Sunbreak is only after you beat High Rank.

[Henrique87]

The Sunbreak content will be unlocked only after you complete the majority of the main game quests... But, be aware, there's a powerful armorset (aka Defender Gear) that is available for players to rush through the Rise main story and reach Sunbreak as soon as possible. I'd suggest to avoid using it, so you don't spoil your own fun.

As a beginner you are better off by playing the base game first and only add the expansion later when you enjoy the game fully. The content is thankfully separated so you would not spoil yourself, unlike with MH:W and Defender Gear.

Is there already a sale again? Should not be long until the next Steam sale?

Defender Gear is available to users that has only the base game too (i know because i only have the base game so far)

At the key store I trust, the game is offered for 16 euros. I think I can't do anything wrong with that and I'll buy the DLC later when the new content comes at the end og the base game.

Okay ~ you can lookup a recommended progression path here if needed

The only Sunbreak content before master rank are defender weapons and black belt armor.

Feel free to try the base game entirely before worrying about the expansion.

i recommend at least beating the base game first which is like HR 100. Then do the dlc as the dlc is more harder and challenging.

Do you actually play with a controller?

[Valentine (Lunaticus)]

Definitely don't touch the Defender gear.

I don't agree with this take. It takes some grinding to get to HR100, so feel free to go to DLC if you want to before that.

HR 100 is when you unlock the last monster in the base game and start doing Apexes. I think that's more what they were getting at, after HR 100 there's nothing new to get without the DLC.

pretty much. I went into the dlc when i was nearing HR 100, then i killed the last monster and headed straight back to the dlc.

Unless you're looking at a bundle which offers the game + dlc at a discounted price, there is no point to buying sunbreak before you've finished the base game.

[cruste]

it is the better deal price wise
There is the demo to test the gameplay and if you like what you see you are better of with the bundle than buying twice but to each there own method of wasting money and time

i can only agree you are around hr8 when you have finished the story of base game and you just make things harder for yourself by ignoring sunbreak until hr100

transitioning instantly into the dlc offer new silkbind skills, new methods to craft these annoying rng charms and also new options to get more stuff from these support stuff like palico safari etc.

I recommend it.
