There are a lot of unintuitive systems in Monster Hunter Wilds that you need to read a ton of tips and tricks to understand. For example, changing your character’s appearance, changing your armor appearance, and editing your character are all different systems. The latter is especially odd since they require a consumable item called Character Edit Vouchers to access. To help you understand what the difference between these are and how you can get these special vouchers, here’s a full breakdown of how you can edit your character in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to get and use character edit vouchers

Before we get to the bad news regarding Character Edit Vouchers, let’s first go over the situations in which you would even need one. You can change a ton about your character by just changing their appearance at your Base Camp, but not everything. The only options that are locked behind the use of a voucher are:

  • Eye Area
  • Contour
  • Name
  • Skin
  • Nose
  • Body Type
  • Starting Armor
  • Voice

Unless you want to change any or all of these parts of your character, there’s no need to get a voucher. That’s important to know because you only get one voucher for free, with any more costing $7 for a three pack for just Character Edit Vouchers or $10 for a three pack of Character and Palico Edit Vouchers.

If you are ready to commit to using a voucher, you will need to do so from the main menu. Highlight the save file you want to edit and press Square on PlayStation to open the Edit menu. Here, you will have the option to pick either your Hunter or Palic to edit if you have a voucher. If you don’t, you will be prompted to purcahse one.

The Steam Controller will scream if you drop it, and I don’t know how to feel about it
Valve’s new controller does not suffer drops in silence

Valve’s new Steam Controller has a hidden Easter egg that makes it scream when dropped, which is funny until you remember it costs $99. Users have been sharing clips of the controller playing the iconic Wilhelm scream after being dropped from around three feet while in Big Picture Mode. It does not trigger every time, with one widely shared post claiming it happens roughly once every five or six drops.

How does the Steam Controller scream without a speaker?

I played like a rat in Arc Raiders, and the loot was disgustingly good
Ratting my way downtown to the best gear
An ambush in Arc Raiders

I did not go into Arc Raiders planning to play like a rat. After a few bad runs, I had lost some of my good gear and just wanted to blow off some steam in the game's unofficial PvP arena "Stella Montis". In the best-case scenario, the goal was to go in guns blazing, borrowing some fine piece of equipment from fellow raiders, and booking it to the extract. The worst-case scenario, where I would lose everything, didn't bother me since I was running a free loadout.

Stella Montis has a reputation. It is built for tight and tense corridors that encourage player engagement. But another reason for its infamy is how it exposes one of the players' biggest frustrations with this game, which is the free leadout problem. Free loadout players arrive with a basic gun, ammo, shield, and health, which is not much on paper, but enough to become dangerous when they have nothing meaningful to lose.
