Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak: Guide To Buddy Recon
Buddy Recon is a new feature added in the Sunbreak expansion of Monster Hunter Rise. You can deploy Palicos and Palamutes into the field at specific locations on the map, and they'll act as an extra fast travel point. This can be useful, especially on larger maps like the Citadel.

Using Buddy Recon is easy. However, there are certain fast travel points that have to be unlocked before you can deploy Buddies to them. Here's how to get the most out of the new feature and find the hidden Buddy Recon points.
Talk to Nagi at the Buddy Piazza in Elgado. The Buddy Recon menu is under Meowcenaries. Each locale has two points you can assign Buddy Recon to. Most of these points are available from the start, but there are six that have to be unlocked. You can select one unlocked Buddy Recon point at a time. Choose a point and a Buddy to place there.
Unlike the Argosy or Meowcenaries, the level of your Buddy doesn't affect how Buddy Recon works. It is okay to use low-level Buddies. A Buddy assigned to Buddy Recon can't do other activities or come along for quests. You can only assign Buddies in the hub world, not during hunts.
Once you set up your Buddy Recon, you can fast travel to the point by using the Detailed Map - the same way you fast travel to subcamps. You can only use the Buddy Recon point once per hunt, and there is a toll of 100 Kamura Points.
Most Buddy Recon points don't have to be unlocked and are available as soon as you can use the feature at Buddy Piazza. However, there are six points that the player has to find themselves on the map before deploying a Buddy. When you approach an unlockable Buddy Recon point, you'll see a callout from Felyne Chief Kogarashi.
