Bases and Facilities

  • Added item boxes outside of the hunter’s tent in each base camp and the Grand Hub.

  • Added an outdoor item box as a camp gear option that can be set at Pop-up Camps.

  • The Change Lobby Menu can now be accessed at your tent in base camps or Pop-up Camps.

  • As a gamer, I’ve just unlocked the ability to swap my in-game character! Now, I can pick between Alma and Erik. I completed the Lagiacrus mission to get this cool new feature.

  • Now, there’s a new feature in the Provisions Stockpile where you can swap items for seasonal event goods!

  • A new Festival of Accord event will be held from July 23 to August 6, 2025.

  • During the Festival of Accord, here are some changes you’ll notice: Erik and Gemma might wear different outfits, the Handler’s uniform will be altered, Seikret adornments will change, the Diva’s playlist will vary, the Grand Hub decorations will be redesigned, the menu at the Canteen will switch, and Barrel Bowling gameplay and Barrel Bowling Bombs will have temporary adjustments.

  • The additional task titled “Clear Skies, Possibly Sandstorm” is now accessible. (You can undertake this mission once you’ve finished the primary mission known as “A World Spun Around.”)

  • New customizable keyboard configuration controls have been added.

  • The latest technologies, DLSS4 and FSR4, are now available to enhance your graphics quality. To use DLSS4, you’ll need an NVIDIA RTX 5000 series or a more advanced GPU, while FSR4 requires an AMD Radeon 9000 series or superior GPU for its operation.

  • In simplified terms, NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS) technology is now capable of creating multiple frames at once in the frame generation graphics settings. If you own an NVIDIA RTX 5000 series GPU or higher, you can adjust the frame multiplication to anywhere between 2 and 4 times, or opt for “NVIDIA DLSS Auto” which intelligently turns the frame generation function on or off based on the workload.

  • In the graphics settings, the options for upscaling and frame generation have been split apart, allowing you to adjust the frame generation setting independently of the upscaling option. For instance, using NVIDIA RTX 3000 hardware, you might opt for NVIDIA DLSS upscaling in combination with AMD FSR frame generation, or other comparable mixed configurations.

  • You can now copy the Lobby ID/Hunter ID via the Start Menu.

  • Enhanced features have been included for “Effects” and “Character Display” within the photo mode. Now, you can choose gestures and poses even when viewing from a first-person perspective.

  • In the Hunter Profile Quest Completion Count section, we’ve introduced a new category called “All Non-Arena Quests”. This category excludes total weapon usage from its count and is now located at the top of the list. The original “All Quests” category has been relocated to the bottom. Additionally, we’ve provided an option to reset weapon usage counts for specific quest categories.

  • You have the option to erase the ‘Best Times’ information you’ve logged for arena quests on your hunter profile and the quest board now. However, please note that any times you’ve submitted to the Expedition Record Board’s rankings cannot be removed.

    – A “Health Alert Indicator”.
    – A “Permanent Timer” for select quests, found under “Display Elapsed Time”.

    • As a devoted enthusiast, I’m excited to share that when I execute Focus Strike: Reverb, it now adds an extra note to the end of each attack, enhancing the rhythm and richness of the sound!

  • Lance

    • You can now chain into a Charge Counter from Focus Strike: Victory Thrust.

    • Adjusted the hitbox of Focus Strike: Victory Thrust to make it easier to land.

    • Corrected a problem that occasionally caused specific shield strikes during Focus Strike: Resolve to inadvertently heal monsters instead of deepening their wounds.

  • Switch Axe

    • As a fan, I’m thrilled to share that I now have more control over my distance from monsters when I’m using Unbridled Slash and Full Release Slash during Focus Mode. It makes battles so much more exciting!

    • Using Element Phials substantially boosts the size of subsequent explosions caused by sword attacks, enhancing their elemental power.

    • Enhancing the intensity of subsequent explosions from Unbridled Slash, Full Release Slash, and Axe: Follow-up Morph Slash significantly when utilizing Element Phials.

    • Impact Phial explosion raw damage has been increased while in Sword Boost Mode.

    • Improvement: The sequence of Element Discharge now links faster with other fundamental axe techniques such as Axe: Rapidly Dashing Downward Strike and Axe: Sideways Fading Cut.

    • The raw damage for multi-hit attacks while in Power Axe Mode has been decreased.

    • Corrected a problem that prevented the enhancement of explosion damage from the phial when using Element Discharge I or similar moves with an Impact Phial, under circumstances where phials were already upgraded.

      I’ve made it so that the sharpness doesn’t degrade too quickly during a guard point, particularly when using Elemental Boost.

    • As a dedicated player, I recently tackled a problem where the damage amplification from the swift-transformation skill, Rapid Morph, wasn’t accurately applying to specific leap attacks during axe combat. I’m pleased to say that it’s now fixed!

    • Resolved a problem that caused bow coatings to automatically change to “Unequipped” under specific circumstances.

      1. Upon changing weapons while being mounted.

    • As an enthusiast, I’ve tweaked the game settings to ensure that the map doesn’t auto-switch levels whenever I focus on a big beastie anymore. Now, I get to tackle those monstrous opponents on my own terms!

    • Lobby Info can now be viewed in the upper-right corner of the Start Menu and Quest Counter screens.

    • The Monster Field Guide can now be viewed in the Quest Menu while in your tent.

    • Rectified a problem that allowed decorations, which were not meant to be placed in specific slots, to be added there instead.

    • Fixed an issue where obtained nameplates would sometimes not appear in the Hunter Profile settings.

    • Steam: Optimized Virtual RAM (VRAM) usage by implementing texture streaming, leading to a decrease in total VRAM consumption.

    • I’ve resolved an issue where the Estimated VRAM Usage in the Display/Graphics settings was showing a value lower than the real amount. This means that the displayed VRAM usage might seem higher, but thanks to a separate optimization, the actual VRAM usage has been decreased, so the current minimum and recommended system requirements remain the same.

    • Resolved a problem that caused inaccurate VRAM usage display when adjusting the Distance Shadow Quality setting within Graphics options.

    • Resolved a problem occurring when the ‘Display Armor’ option was selected under ‘Display Options’ within the ‘Change Appearance’ menu, where the hunter’s chest armor failed to appear as intended.

    • Altered a problem: Carrying out specific activities like eating or crafting weapons/armor within the Main Hub was causing the Mantle’s cooldown to refresh. This issue has now been resolved.

    • Resolved a problem that caused quick teleportation multiple times within the Training Area to revert specific states like mantle cool-down timers.

    • Improved the response time for using items after exiting a tent.

    • Fixed an issue where blocked users were not properly removed from the Followers list.

    • Fixed an issue where incorrect icons would appear for offline members in the Member List.

    • Accepting and joining quests will be possible from the quest counter during an Environment Link.

    • Made adjustments to reduce interruptions when joining a quest via an invite notification.

    • Adjusted the unlock conditions for the “Social Butterfly” Hunter Highlight.

    • Resolved an problem that triggered an emergency signal (SOS Flare) whenever a solo quest was initiated, provided the ‘Automatic SOS Flare’ setting was enabled.

    • As a gamer, I recently resolved a tricky hitch: Sometimes, my character’s exit animation would get stuck mid-way when a certain quest concluded right in the middle of it, making me unable to regain control. Now, that’s all fixed!

    • Resolved a problem that prevented the benefits of the Lucky Voucher from being utilized for the active quest when receiving a quest invitation from a Linked User while already engaged in another quest.

    • In your personal space during a regular survey without going into the field, it was possible to initiate a multi-monster chase (similar to a Great Hunt) even when one of those monsters had not been encountered in that specific area before.

    • As a fan, I recently addressed a fascinating problem that allowed players to substantially diminish a monster’s vitality using poison or comparable afflictions prior to initiating a Field Survey.

    • Resolved a problem that occurred when finishing a Free Challenge Quest without being online, leading the game to save improperly and display inaccurate lower rankings on the Quest Counter.

    • Fixed various text issues.

    • Fixed other miscellaneous issues.
