Monster Hunter World: how to get Dante's armor and weapon in Code: Red

Code: Red, the Devil May Cry cross-over event for Monster Hunter World, is currently live. Participating will grant players Dante’s armor and a stylized weapon.

Monster Hunter World's Code: Red event quest has kicked off. Players who partake in the quest will be able to play as Devil May Cry hero and demon slayer Dante.

How to get Dante's Armor in Monster Hunter World - Code: Red

Code: Red is similar to other special event quests which require players to acquire the proper materials. In order to adorn themselves in Dante's attire, and gain his weapons, players will need to slay four different monsters.

Players must be at Hunter Rank 14 or higher for this level eight arena quest. Anjanath, Odogaron, Rathalos, and Teostra are the monsters players will need to slay in the area in order to gain the necessary materials.

Seven Red Orbs are required in order to craft each piece of armor and Dante's Devil Sword. Five orbs for the armor, and two for the weapon.

Usually in Monster Hunter World, the Devil Sword weapon would fall into the Charge Blade category, which usually features a “hefty shield”. When combined with its matching sword, the weapon can turn into a rather large axe.

With Dante’s weapon, however, the shield is no longer present, but players will still be able to guard. Also, instead of the sword turning into an axe, Force Edge will instead turn into Alastor.

This is a rarity 8 weapon with a 720 base attack.

Dante's armor isn't just for show: it has its own stats which makes the time dump a decent endeavor.

It features three level three skills: weakness exploit, evade window, and attack boost. Critical rye level 2 is also attached alongside level one skills special ammo boost and latent power.

Each piece of armor has its own stats, which Arekkz goes over in the video.

Monster Hunter World Code: Red is a rather straight forward event. Kill monsters, farm their materials, forge a cool weapon and set of armor. Done. If you need some pointers on any of the monsters you’ll need to slay to complete the quest, here’s a list of strengths and weakness for some of the larger beasts.

The Code: Red event in Monster Hunter World will end on May 10 at 8pm EDT, and at 1am BST on May 11.
