A Monster Hunter Now player has shared a raid concept that could provide players with a new challenge and reward.
Monster Hunter Now currently enables players to team up with each other to take down the game’s roster of horrors. While team play has always been a big part of the Monster Hunter franchise, there may be times when you want to step up your skills with your chosen weapon.
After all, the series’ Arena Quests have historically enabled players to show off their fastest kill times and guns for those highly coveted S-Ranks. Well, a Monster Hunter Now player has come up with a genius idea that will see a similar concept added to Niantic’s latest mobile game.

Monster Hunter Now raid concept mesmerizes players
Posting on the official Monster Hunter Now Reddit page, one player highlighted his concept for a raid-style area. This is where players will have to hit the target in the fastest time to secure a top-three spot on the leaderboard.
“The main general idea of arenas is to provide a specified raid-style activity,” Dudewithname said. “You can now solo arenas, and you will be rewarded double the amount, but it will be extremely difficult to do so.”

He then explained how solo hunters will also be pitted against each other on a leaderboard, with the top three highlighted on the arena’s icon. Like Pokémon Go gyms, winners of the Arena Challenge will receive rewards after a certain amount of time has passed.
One commenter chimed in and highlighted how the Monster Hunter Now raid concept could function similarly to Arena Quest. “Ideally this would work like Arena Quest in the main series, with each weapon given an armor skill to compensate for their DPS disparities but the time limit would be the same.”

It remains to be seen whether Niantic will add raid-style content to Monster Hunter Now, but it’s certainly an interesting concept and one that could improve end-game content.
