I haven't played it either.

What I can tell you is that hunters kill incresingly outlandish monsters with over the top weapons, and then they use parts of the corpses to make better, more outlandish armor and weapons.

They'd be accustomed to the fighting of terrible beasts, but they wouldn't be able to make better gear for themselves the way they are used to.
