Master Rank Swich Axes are the top tier Switch Axes available in Monster Hunter Rise, and as all Master Rank Weapons, can only be obtained by owning the Sunbreak Expansion. The weapons use Master Rank Materials that can be obtained by completing quests and doing endgame content.
Introduced with the release of the Sunbreak Expansion, Master Rank Weapons are a brand new and more powerful tier of Weaapons available to hunters to help them deal with the deadlier Monsters that can be found on the Sunbreak Expansion.
Note that these Weapons can only be accessed by players that have purchased and installed the Sunbreak Expansion. For those who own the expansionless version of Monster Hunter, these Weapons are unobtainable.
