Monster Hunter World players are never short of objectives to tackle, which is one of the game's biggest selling points (and part of the reason for its positive reviews). For hunters who want to earn some bonuses, this list of the best mantles and how to earn each one is definitely worth tackling.

For the uninformed, mantles are cloaks that players can wear in Monster Hunter World to earn temporary bonuses that give the hunter an advantage while preparing to take down a creature. There are lots of great mantles in the game, but these are the ones we recommend unlocking and putting to use:

Status+ Mantle

Unlock: To earn this mantle, players need to fully research 10 monsters.

Immunity Mantle

KO Mantle

Evasion Mantle
