Monster Hunter Now celebrates the bow in upcoming event

Niantic appears to be praising Artemis, as we are going to have a week dedicated to bows in Monster Hunter Now. It is a little odd to have a whole event revolving around a single weapon type, but I will take it; bows are my favoured ranged option in Monster Hunter World.

Between May 5th and May 11th, the Earth will shake, and spacetime itself will be torn asunder as dimension rifts start to appear more frequently, and we will see a surge of huge behemoths. And of course, the best way to tackle this threat is by firing pointy sticks at it with a twig and some string. 

During the event, certain beasties will appear more frequently in specific biomes. You have Zinogre holding down the forests and swamps, Rajang will be kicking around deserts, swamps, and tundras, and Tigrex has forest, deserts, and tundras. Jyuratodus will also be found in swamps, and Rathians in forests. Forests and swamps are dangerous places.

There will be a few event Hunt-a-thon points that only feature Zimogre, Rajang, and Tigrex, but make sure to pack your bow before you go, though, this being the bow event and all. These weapons will receive performance boosts based on the strength of the monster you are hunting, so now is the perfect time to start building up your ranged arsenal.

A great way to add to your gear is with the limited-time quests. These require you to slay certain monsters when wielding a specific bow or wearing specific armour. Complete these and you will earn Zenny, and monster materials such as Zinogre Primeclaws and Tigrex Claws. These prizes will add up to more than enough to forge the event featured bow and armour.

Monster Hunter Now is available to download from the App Store and Google Play. Also, don't forget, you only have until May 4th to get the limited Coalescene skill through driftsmelting.
