Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a massive game, and Capcom also throws in free monthly DLC to keep us busy. Though we've occasionally complained about the sometimes outrageous difficulty of some of the quest unlocks, it certainly gives us all plenty to aim for with cross-over outfits and awesome weapons.
The May batch has now been officially unveiled and, superficially, is both particularly cool and - we think - relatively accessible. When you head to the DLC section and download the latest content, your new quests and challenges include unlocks themed on Mega Man, Street Fighter and Metroid. The Samus Aran armour truly is something to behold.
In terms of weapons and armour, this is what you can potentially unlock:
Hunter equipment:
- Metroid's Varia Suit
- Metroid's Zero Suit
- Metroid's Arm Cannon
- Taiko Drum Master Hunting Horn
- USJ's Star Rook armor
- USJ's Starlight Axe Charge Blade
Palico equipment:
- Mega Man
- Blanka
- Chun-Li
- USJ's F Star
- Cha-Cha
- Kayamba
As always there's a handy video below that shows which quests unlock which goodies, and quite a few of them seem reasonably accessible if you're skilled or have a group of friends to help out.
So, will you be trying to grab all of these DLC extras?

I really need to get this game, enjoyed 3U soooo much.
Varia suit plz
It kinda sucks how this video spoils a certain monster that is much cooler to discover yourself, but meh. Using Yian Garuga as a Ridley substitute is a really cool idea, but I don't understand what the Nerscylla is supposed to represent. Parasite Queen? Yakuza? Why not a giant Seregios for Kraid?
Also, the MegaMan armor actually looks really cute on Palicoes, so I'm definitely getting that!
...Wait, did I see the hunter actually wear Dante's coat in the last scene?!
street fighter? Its a capcom game so it makes sense, but its on a nintendo console. RYU CONFIRMED FOR SMASH
MEGAMAN PALICO ARMOR I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR FOREVER!
No fair! I have always wanted to dress up as Mega Man or Chun Li! Why do my cats get to? DX
While we may not be getting the Animal Crossing palico armor this month, I'll forgive them since we can make the Cha-Cha and Kayamba palico armor.
MH could have actually been an great game, I do not really see how this attitude, is any different then any other frag and tag RPG game. Oh wait I know that game from the PS2 that inspired MH to begin with, but the same could be said about many games.
Where is my Lufia DLC??
@Tsurii897 facepalm OF COURSE IT'S PRIME! Damn, how could I miss that?!
Bring it on Wii U man!
Yes!! Cha-Cha and Kayumba!! RAWR~
I'm still HR 7 and from what I can tell that's all G-rank...:/
That Megaman palico looks so adorable. I really need to finish monster hunter 3 ultimate then play this game.
This DLC pack is absolutely fabulous. It's free and it's functional (Metroid arm cannon as a bowgun!!) and it's good-looking to boot. No complaints whatsoever. In PS Vita games you have to pay for DLC costumes which saddens me for the fans b/c I know they will pay for them I didn't think the Japanese-only property DLC like USJ and Taiko would make it here as some promotional DLC weapons and armor did not make the cut for 3 Ultimate in English. I've completely fallen in love with the Charge Blade and that Starlight Axe Charge Blade looks gorgeous and I only have to fight a beefed up Zamtrios to get it. I wonder if it's a G-rank Zamtrios... :S I'm not there yet!
Yay more hunting unlocks!!!
Wow, I really want to get this game now. So many great free DLCs and next time DMC1 Dante's Outfit and his Alastor arrive. Crazy awesome.
So many awesome items to make
If star rook is released this month, then star knight should be released in July. So anybody who doesn't have the set yet should probably just go on reddit and look for people who have the quest if they can't wait 2 months.
@ollietaro It's a high rank quest to get the star rook armour and starlight CB. The G rank version is called star knight and has an SnS to match it. But that won't be coming for a little while :/
Any G rank quests or is it all low and high rank again?
@RegalSin
What game would that be exactly? The only thing inspired Monster Hunter was Capcom wanting 3 network-based games. Its actually a fairly unique franchise, enough so that it was considered to be in its own genre.
As for what sets it apart, its really not your typical RPG. Unlike a typical dungeon-crawling loot-fest most of the loot is raw materials for crafting items. There isn't really even a dungeon to crawl either either, no point A to B leading to a boss fight, most monsters are essentially bosses and are the main quarry.
The game is also entirely reliant on player skill, there's no leveling of any kind. Its actually closer to the Souls series in terms of gameplay and difficulty than Phantasy Star, the series its usually compared to.
I'm really impressed with metroid armor I really want to feel some shulk Amor with a monado axe. Btw anyone want to add me so we can get armor together Fc:2895-6799-1325 add me back? Thx
