We’re launching a beta test for a new feature that is currently in development for Monster Hunter Now: Exploration Bases! Exploration bases are local landmarks that hunters can grow together by collecting Exploration Emblems (found at gathering points (L), etc.) and submitting exploration reports. Work with other hunters in your area to uplevel your base! To close out the test, the final two days will feature monster outbreaks at exploration bases. The higher the base’s level, the greater the slaying goal - but also the rewards! Your feedback during this beta period is incredibly valuable. We’d love to hear from you via the Community Forum or on social media!
