📋 About This Mod
This mod is a HD remake of the "Glavenus Array" (Greatsword) from Monster Hunter Generations. It currently has 4 options for replacements: the regular Brachydios greatsword, Kirin's greatsword, Shara's (final boss') greatsword and the Wyvern Iginition. The Wyvern Ignition version comes with special charge EFX made by Crimson. Recently, I have added the Acidic Glavenus version as well. I will make additional options for replacements available soon.
Other upcoming features:
1. Crimson is currently working on a efx mod that adds a heating effect to my GS when it charges DONE
2. I will release an Acidic Glavenus version as an update soon-ish. DONE
3. I will update the Acidic Glavenus version to have EFX and more options for replacements. DONE

This mod restores the high-definition textures for the Glavenus and Acidic Glavenus Greatswords in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. It addresses the disappointment fans felt when these iconic weapons appeared with lower-quality textures. For players who want their Greatswords to look as sharp as they hit.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 617 endorsements and over 20k downloads
- Fixes a real letdown for fans of the Greatsword Monster's signature weapon
- Simple texture upgrade that makes these weapons look as good as they should
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers two weapons, so if you're not a Greatsword user, this mod does nothing for you
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Texture mods can conflict with other visual overhauls that touch the same weapons
For Monster Hunter World players who main Greatsword and were disappointed by the blurry textures on Glavenus weapons. If you're a completionist who wants every weapon to look its best, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Greatswords or don't care about texture fidelity.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Iceborne expansion installed, as these weapons are from that content.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, you can install this mod with a single click and easily disable it if you encounter issues.
- Check if you have other texture mods installed that might overwrite the same files; load order matters in that case.
