How to survive Master Rank in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

polygon.com:

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the new expansion for last year’s Monster Hunter Rise, is definitely a step up in difficulty from Rise.

Sunbreak introduces Master Rank, a new tier of monster that can kill you and your team far more easily than the High Rank monsters from the base game. With this jump in difficulty, it can be difficult to adjust to Sunbreak — especially if you’ve taken a break from hunting sinceRise’s Switch launch last year.

In this guide, we’ll give you some quick tips and reminders to keep you from failing your first few hunts in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

Before you start each hunt, it’s important to visit the item box and the tea shop in the new hub, Elgado outpost.

At the item box, you’ll want to refill on traps, potions, antidotes, barrel bombs, and any other items you may have used in your last hunt. The easiest way yo do this is to set up a loadout will all the items you want. Then simply re-equip your loadout at the item box before each hunt.

At the Tea Shop, make sure to eat a meal with your preferred Dango to increase your health, stamina, and activate any special perks.

At the start of every hunt, when you get dropped off at camp, you’ll notice a Supply Box. This is a communal box that starts with items that you can use for free. The First-Aid Med+ potions are invaluable here, and they’ll keep you from burning through your own supply of Mega Potions. Similarly, the EZ Ration will let you build your stamina back up without needing to eat your own food.

Keep in mind that these items are limited per hunt, and shared among hunters. If you’re alone, take and use as many as you want. But if you’re hunting with a friend, be sure to share.
