The latest update for Monster Hunter Now, season 8, is now available on both iOS and Android devices. This season introduces a new gameplay feature called “base defense” alongside fresh rewards and monsters to hunt.
Season 8 introduces three new monsters: the Quematrice, Goss Harag, and Astalos. Players can also now team up to hunt special, Riftcharged monsters in a new base defense mode. You can find more details about this feature on the official website.
Overview
-
- Base Defense is a feature where hunters gathered at the same exploration base cooperate to challenge riftcharged monsters, which are significantly more powerful than regular monsters.
Requirements
-
- Hunter Rank (HR) 11 or higher
- An exploration base must be nearby
- Base Defense can be joined from outside the access range, just like accessing the exploration base menu.
How to Play
-
- During specific times in the final week of each Wave, a riftcharged monster will appear at each exploration base.
- The damage you deal to a riftcharged monster is recorded as Defense Points (tracked individually).
- Defense Points are tallied for each weapon you used, and your Defense Rewards are based on the combined points of your top 5 weapons.
Tips for Earning More Points
-
- You can challenge riftcharged monsters with any weapon, but using the featured defense weapon for that Wave grants a bonus to the Defense Points you earn.
Prepare your equipment and upgrade before the riftcharged monster appears in the final week!
