Two terrifying monsters have been added to Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak in Patch v14.0.0, aka Title Update 4.
The Icy Velkhana and the fiery Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax are ready to strike fear into the hearts of even the bravest adventurers in Monster Hunter Rise. These new monsters are only available for players who have purchased the Sunbreak expansion, so for those who do not have a copy yet, now is probably the best time to get one.
Players will also get their hands full as a wider variety of monsters now appear on Anomaly Investigations. Speaking of which, the level cap for Anomaly Investigations has been raised to 220 as well.
Another noteworthy addition to the game is the Hunter Loadouts feature. This provides players with a menu that enables them to change their item, equipment, and layered armor loadouts into a single loadout set. This streamlined approach is a godsend, letting players switch to any of the loadouts as needed.
Here are the other new features and changes in Title Update 4:
- New quests have been added.
- New weapons, armor, layered equipment, and skills have been added.
- Azure Star "Dragon Dance" and Azure Era "Soaring Dragon" have been added as layered weapons.
