While the first weapon you get is great, it’s always useful to know how to unlock and craft new weapons in Monster Hunter Now. Different weapons have varying stats and abilities. These abilities and stats can be useful against specific enemies. For instance, the Kulu-Ya-Ku enemy has an elemental weakness to water, so using a weapon that has the water element can deal more damage than your starter weapon would be able to. There are several weapons in the game, and you can craft new ones after taking down big enemies. Let’s learn more about how to unlock and craft new weapons in Monster Hunter Now.
How To Unlock New Weapons in Monster Hunter Now
Unlocking new weapons can be a bit risky. Since each new weapon requires materials from a big enemy, you will have to take down new big enemies in order to unlock new weapons. However, if you pay attention to their elemental weaknesses and use the right weapons and armor, you can take them down in no time. To start with, you have the Hunter’s Knife, but there are several more that you can unlock, including:
- Jagras Edge
- Unlocked by defeating large Jagras
- Blooming Knife
- Unlocked by defeating large Pukei-Pukei
- Carapace Edge
- Unlocked by defeating large Barroth
How To Craft New Weapons in Monster Hunter Now
Crafting new weapons is quite simple, assuming you have the correct resources required for each piece. Finding the right resources can be daunting, but it is possible. Oftentimes to craft a new weapon, it will require Zenny, an item dropped from a large enemy, and resources from basic enemies. So far, we have unlocked weapons from the Jagras, Pukei-Pukei, and Barroth. All three of them can be crafted after defeating a large enemy once, but if you wish to upgrade them, you’ll have to fight many more large monsters.
- Jagras Edge
