Hunters, Spring Riftborne Week, a special event featuring riftborne monsters, is just around the corner! During this event, riftborne monsters will appear more frequently. In addition, rewards for breaking special parts on riftborne monsters will be doubled. Breaking these special parts can grant riftborne materials, which are rare monster materials obtained from riftborne monsters. These materials are required for style selection and parameter unlocks in style customization. Take advantage of this opportunity to collect plenty of riftborne materials while rewards are doubled! During the event, new quests will be added daily from Monday through Saturday. These quests also reward riftborne materials, so don’t miss out. Friend Link was also introduced in Season 9, allowing you to send group hunt invites to friends. Why not try inviting some friends when challenging riftborne monsters you’ve marked with Paintballs? The official Monster Hunter Now Discord server also has channels for finding hunting partners. Be sure to check them out!

Hunters, The insect glaive is coming to Monster Hunter Now! The insect glaive is a weapon type that lets you command a Kinsect to empower yourself while hunting. It excels at leaping attacks and striking from midair. When attacking, the Kinsect harvests extract. Once the Extract Gauge fills, the hunter enters a charged state. In this state, combos change and more powerful attack actions become available. Kinsects vary by weapon, with differences in attack actions and damage type, such as severing or blunt. The Special Skill Descending Thrust (SP) can be activated even while attacking in midair, driving a powerful strike down from above the monster’s head. We’ve also prepared limited-time quests to help you make the most of the insect glaive. Master it and gain the upper hand in your hunts!

Hunters, Thank you for always playing Monster Hunter Now! We’re excited to introduce a new feature: Friend Link. Friend Link allows you to invite friends in faraway locations to join you in hunts from your Paintball List or in Elder Dragon Interceptions. Whether you encounter a formidable monster during a walk or find a monster your friend has been looking for, this feature lets you enjoy hunting together, even when you’re apart. At launch, invitations will be sent to online friends based on certain criteria, such as in the order of those you’ve hunted with most frequently. Expand your circle of friends and let’s hunt together! Our official Discord server also has dedicated channels for finding friends. Be sure to check it out!
