Should Siege Hunts Return In Sunbreak? | Monster Hunter Rise
A long time staple of the series, siege hunts see one or more hunters take on mammoth opponents, often ludicrous in size and shape, whilst occupying massive, multi-tiered arenas. These have seemingly been usurped in Monster Hunter Rise, where they have instead opted for Rampages, and whilst these function in a somewhat similar fashion, they…
Our Sunbreak Monster Wishlist | Monster Hunter Rise
The sun will soon rise on the expansion for Monster Hunter Rise, Sunbreak. Having lived through far too many expansions and ultimate versions of games in this series, we’re all too aware of what these entail; greater challenges, new tiers of equipment and most importantly, more monsters. It’s this latter point in particular that interests…
Difficult Low Rank Monsters & How To Defeat Them | Monster Hunter Rise
Pushing your way through Low Rank can be tremendously difficult for those new to the Monster Hunter series. All of your friends are likely off fighting the latest version of a cataclysm approaching a small village, and yet here you are still struggling to get off the ground against base level opponents. Worse still, your…
Becoming A Better Hunter | Monster Hunter Rise
Progressing through a Monster Hunter game and getting better at Monster Hunter are two very different things. We recently wrote about transitioning into High Rank from Low, and all of the changes that you have to make in order to do so. That info, however, is rather small fry in the grand scheme of things…
Preparing for High Rank | Monster Hunter Rise
Entering High Rank is always a daunting prospect for the budding hunter. The prospect of new monsters, improvements to the flock already experienced and the knowledge that gear upgrades are required can cause a bit of anxiety in the new player. In reality, the start of HR tends to be filled with repeat visits to…
The Most Difficult Weapons to Master | Monster Hunter Rise
Mastery of a Monster Hunter weapon is not something easily achieved. It takes hundreds of hours to fully acquaint yourself with one of the fourteen on offer, and likely thousands to consider yourself close to a master of its use. Further to this, each of the 14 is built differently, and your tendencies as a…
Weapon Tier List | Monster Hunter Rise
We’ve written tier lists about Monster Hunter titles before, and we often feature these towards the beginning of our publishing thanks to prior experience with the title. In the case of Rise however, we started to write about it soon after it’s release, and we like to really take our time with this series, to…
14 Incredible Low Rank Weapons | Monster Hunter Rise
Low Rank equipment, weapons included, are best described as stepping stones by the majority of the Monster Hunter community. However, whilst long time veterans are already slaying their way to the end game, very little thought is spared for the new player. Triumphing over even the most basic of targets feels like a mountainous climb…
Ideal Beginner Armour Sets | Monster Hunter Rise
For beginners to Monster Hunter, Armour Sets can mean the difference between life and cart. It’s all well and good picking up a weapon and learning to swing it around, but unlike some other games you absolutely will take damage here, no matter your skill level, and wearing a flailing piece of paper tissue is…
4 Ideal Beginner Weapons | Monster Hunter Rise
For a beginner, the right weapon can make or break the Monster Hunter series. No doubt some players will already be familiar with what is considered an ‘action’ game from their past experiences, but none of this matters when faced with the complexities of a title such as this. It’s bad enough that you’ll soon…
The 3 Best Early Sword and Shields | Monster Hunter Rise
The Sword and Shield has forever felt like the estranged step child of the Monster Hunter arsenal. Such an opinion was historically shared by the developers, to the point where they even introduced special ‘coatings’ for the weapon in previous titles. No such things exist here in Rise, but it seems to have found its…
The 3 Best Early Bows | Monster Hunter Rise
Learning to use the Bow effectively is one of the great joys in a Monster Hunter title. Peeling away at it’s metaphorical layers gradually reveals an agile, adaptable and above all powerful weapon, that’s fully capable of defeating any and every challenge the series can throw at you. You could of course argue that this…
