Layered Equipment

Mechanic Upgrades
Several new mechanics are also added to the game, including:
New Status Ailment – Bleed
Odagaron’s attack will inflict a new status ailment called bleeding.
The bleeding state will cause hunters to accumulate bleeding damage every time they attack or perform an evade. If they receive an attack while bleeding, the damage will be added to the amount of damage accumulated from bleeding.
Bleeding will stop if the hunter avoids attacking and evading for a while.
New Skills
Latent Power, Quick Work, and Status Sneak Attack will be added to the game to better deal with the new monsters.
More Loadouts
The maximum number of load-outs has been increased from five to ten.
Event Quests
Last but not least, to celebrate the 6-month anniversary of Monster Hunter Now, the game will have 16 special quests for players to complete. By completing these quests, players can earn an exclusive hunter medal and Beginner Weapon Tickets, as well as various additional rewards.
