Free Title Update 4 Content Guide for Monster Hunter Rise
The Free Title Update 4 for Monster Hunter Rise and its features were revealed during the Capcom Digital Event Livestream held on February 1, 2023. It is set for release on February 7, 2023 for the Nintendo Switch and PC versions of the game. The update will feature the following:
New Monsters in MH Rise Free Title Update 4
Velkhana
The Flagship Monster of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne returns in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak! This frigid Elder Dragon possesses dominion over ice and the cold, so much so that the very air freezes in any location it travels to. Beware its nimble, spear-tipped tail, deathly cold breath and its peculiar ability to cover itself in a shimmering armor of frost!
Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax
Another Elder Dragon rises above the Qurio affliction! Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax is a brand new variant of Crimson Glow Valstrax who has gained immense power and ferocity after forming a symbiotic relationship with the Qurio. It returns with speed, fervor and a murderous intent that is sure to keep hunters on their toes, with vastly enhanced Dragon Element attacks and new tricks up its sleeve!
New Quests in MH Rise Free Title Update 4
Along with the new Monsters being added, Free Title Update 4 will add more quests to keep the hunt going. These quests will not only feature the newly aded Monsters, existing Monsters as well, with various setups, objectives, win conditions and more, bringing along with them new Materials and Rewards with which to craft new Weapons, Armor and other equipment.
Weekly Event Quests
The Free Title Update 4 will come with new weekly Event Quests, particularly those that will see hunters facing off against multiple targets such as a duo of Lunagarons. Completing these quests will reward hunters and their buddies with new unique equipment such as Layered Weapons and Layered Armor.
New Features in MH Rise Free Title Update 4
Anomaly Research Quests Update
Free Title Update 4 will also raise the Anomaly Investigations level cap to 220, providing the next milestone for hunters to work towards, bringing along their own set of challenges.
Additionally, starting from Investigation Level 111, Risen Elder Dragons will begin appearing in these quests. This includes Risen Chameleos, Risen Teostra, Risen Kushala Daora and Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax.
Chaotic Gore Magala will also have its own Afflicted version appearing in A8✮ quests.
Qurious Crafting Updates
New Monsters appearing in Anomaly Quests means new afflicted Materials which will expand Qurious Crafting, adding an extra slot for Weapon augmentation and providing hunters with a new grind to reach that power cap!
Anomaly Research Request and Quest Level Adjustments
The Free Title Update 4 will make adjustments to Bahari's Anomaly Research Requests making it easier to complete requests and obtain the Request Completion Reward. Previously, hunters were required to hunt specific Monsters to obtain stamps that count toward the completion reward. This adjustment will make it so that you need only complete Anomaly Investigations at the specified level. A target Monster is given, but slaying it will simply give a Research Point Bonus and is no longer a hard requirement to earn stamps. This essentially makes it so that you can hunt any Monsters you wish, of the appropriate level, instead of being forced to hunt certain Monsters you may not be familiar with, or dislike to hunt for whatever reason.
Additionally, the update will adjust quest conditions for Investigations so that lower quest levels will be drawn more often. This will make it easier to find and take on quests that are appropriate for you, as well as make it easier to complete the Research Requests.
Hunter Loadouts
The Free Title Update 4 introduces a quality of life update to player Loadouts. With the new Hunter Loadouts feature, players will be able to register an Item Loadout, Equipment Loadout and Layered Loadout as a single Hunter Loadout Set, allowing for a quick transition between sets and builds without having to fumble around with the inventory and storage boxes as much. This will cut down on the time needed to prepare between Quests and will ensure you have everything you need. No more equipping a loadout only to forget to switch out your Ammo and Consumables!
New DLC in MH Rise Free Title Update 4
The Free Title Update 4 for Monster Hunter Rise brings with it a plethora of new DLC, both free and paid. This includes Layered Armor, Stickers, Gestures and more.
At the forefront of this wave of DLC is the Velkhana Costume Palamute Layered Armor which turns your trusty Canyne companion into the Frigid Elder Dragon Velkhana! This amusing set of Layered Armor provides a complete makeover for your buddy while retaining all their standard Palamute animations.
To celebrate the upcoming release of Free Title Update 4, Capcom is holding an Early Giveaway Campaign for the Velkhana Costume Palamute Layered Armor. Players can enter for free from February 1 to February 5, 2023 for a chance to win the Layered Armor set. See the for details. The Set will be made available for other players at a later date.
