Later this month, Monster Hunter: World will be getting its first big update, and it's a doozy. Not only will the game be getting a brand new monster in Deviljho, but there will be various gameplay changes as well. The biggest changes come in the form of weapon tweaks, which include a series of buffs or nerfs to every armament in the game besides two, the Light Bowgun and the Heavy Bowgun.

By means of a recent stream from Capcom, here is the complete list of weapon changes that are coming to Monster Hunter: World in the March 22 update:

In addition to all of the above changes, on March 16, Capcom will be sending "Hunter Personal Grooming Tickets" to all players so they will have the opportunity to take another crack at their character's appearance. However, if players want another makeover after that, it will cost them, as any future tickets become paid DLC.

Monster Hunter World is available now for PS4 and Xbox One with a PC version slated for this fall.
