Capcom has just rolled out a substantial update for Monster Hunter Wilds, known as the April 4th Title Update, which also carries the designation Patch 1.010.00.00. This patch introduces new content, including monsters to hunt, missions to complete, and some key adjustments that players eagerly anticipate.
The update gives hunters plenty to sink their teeth into with a new story, extra side missions, and additional weapons and armor sets. Players can unlock exciting new monsters after fulfilling specific in-game requirements.
The Arena Quests feature is now available for players looking for competitive challenges, while the Grand Hub offers fresh amenities like an Expedition Record Board tracking time attack quests. This is a great way to keep track of your hunting prowess!
On the technical front, although this update does not include monumental performance upgrades, Capcom does mention improvements to VRAM usage and updates to DirectStorage versioning.
This patch also includes numerous balance tweaks to refine gameplay mechanics. Players will notice bug fixes addressing issues such as disappearing monster wounds and frozen monsters during hunts, which relieves many who’ve encountered these frustrating glitches.
Capcom has also revamped Login Bonuses, incorporating daily rewards like free meal vouchers and Barrel Bowling Vouchers. It’s a slight touch but adds a nice incentive for regular logins!
