Need to up your defences and look cool whilst doing it? Enter our Monster Hunter Now Best Gear guide! Our guide will keep you snuggly and well-protected no matter which monster you face off against in this strange world of foes.
Monster Hunter Now is the latest entry in the MH franchise! However, this one is a little different when compared to the rest. Niantic, the company that developed Pokémon GO is behind this brand-new project. It’s basically IRL Monster Hunter – what’s not to love? Hunt monsters using augmented technology and collect a variety of powerful weapons to help you along the way. Players can also unite with friends in battles against the more powerful foes in this ever-evolving game.
You can learn more about it on the official site. We also recommend checking out our Monster Hunter Now Guide, or maybe our Monster Hunter Now Tier List. We also have a pretty cool post on Type Soul Clan Tier List.
