What does the Iceborn expansion include?
The new Hoarfrost Reach area
The winter map is the largest area in Monster Hunter World so far and must be unlocked in the new DLC campaign. Hoarfrost Reach is located in a icy region and is submerged in the deepest snow. You will lose stamina much faster than usual here and will have to refresh it with hot drinks. But there are also some hot springs in the region that can warm you up again. You know the opposite already with the cold drinks from the hot areas of the game.
In Hoarfrost Reach you will find the new Seliana base, which serves as a refuge where you can also craft and manage equipment.

New free armor for everyone
With the release of Monster Hunter World: Iceborn on January 9, 2019, the new Guardian armor will also appear. The set improves the maximum life, increases the healing rate and reduces the damage taken. The Guardian armor is therefore particularly useful for new players in Monster Hunter World.
How do I get the Guardian armor on my new account?
When creating the character, simply select the Guardian armor instead of the standard armor.
