Monster Hunter Rise gets a big title update today officially dubbed Ver. 2.0. No, it’s not focused on squashing save-crippling bugs. This is the fun kind of update that adds a wealth of new content for players to dig into, including epic new monster hunts against Elder Dragons and Apex creatures.
The best thing you could ever want from these games is getting more monsters to hunt. Surprise, you do! Players can now take on Elder Dragons Kushala Daora, Teostra, and Chameleos. If that’s not enough, Apex Rathalos and Apex Diablos have joined the fray as well.
Ver. 2.0 also adds the option to battle existing Apex monsters outside of Rampage quests. Speaking of which, Magnamalo will now appear in the Rampage quest rotation.Players can now forge layered armor, and the Hunter Rank cap can be unlocked when certain conditions are met.
