Tips

Monster Hunter Rise is a game full of dangerous enemies that want to tear you apart. So to overcome such enemies, the game also provides you with weapons and armor. Armour is a big part of the game, and with the new Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak DLC, the game even got a large variety of Master Rank Armours that are very effective. One such Master Rank Set is the Knight Squire Armour Set. The set consists of 5 pieces. One of the pieces of this set is the Monster Hunter Rise Squires Belt.
Now, if you are acquiring an armor set, then you should first know the Best Armor Sets. Also, you might need to craft and upgrade the armor so that you will need items such as the Gold Lite Ore, Fucium Ore, and even money.
Additionally, in order to earn lots of in-game currency, read or Best Money Farming Methods. The game also has a variety of NPCs that you will meet through your adventures. MHR Bahari is one of those NPCs. In Monster Hunter Rise, you can customize your weapons through a Layered Weapons Feature.
However, we suggest that you should layer a strong weapon, so why not first check out our Monster Hunter Rise Weapons Tier List. Also, for a specific build guide on the Bowgun, read our Bowgun Build Guide.
Moreover, if you feel bored with the vanilla game, then try out some of the Monster Hunter Rise Mods. The Squire Belt is a part of the Sunbreak DLC, just like the Gold Lite Ore and the MHR Prized Pelt.
