Monster Hunter : World - Title Update 2

Posted: 04 Mar 2020 04:03 PM PST

Title Update 2 releases on Thursday, March 12, 0:00 UTC, and will include new features and bug fixes!

[Major Features]
■ "Stygian Zinogre" added to the game.

Quests that feature Stygian Zinogre can be unlocked by talking to the Seeker in Seliana after (1) having beaten the game and (2) having unlocked the volcanic region of the Guiding Lands.

- New Stygian Zinogre hunter and Palico equipment have also been added!
- You can also obtain a new weapon pendant, Stygian Zinogre Claws, by completing all of the quests given to you by the Seeker.

■ "Safi'jiiva" added to the game.

Take on the "??? Recon" assignment from the Pub Lass in the Gathering Hub to begin the investigation. The ??? Recon is a special assignment that can only be posted or joined from the Gathering Hub. This quest can also be done multiple times even after it has been completed.

- At 0:00 UTC on Friday, March 20, the Safi'jiiva Siege will become available. This special quest challenges you to slay Safi'jiiva by working together with the other hunters in your Online Session.
- New Safi'jiiva hunter and Palico equipment have also been added!
- "Awakened weapons" can also be obtained as rewards from the Safi'jiiva Siege.

■ "Tundra Region" unlocked in the Guiding Lands.

[Major Additions]
■ Numerous changes have been applied from console Ver. 12.11/12.11.00.
- Improvements to sword & shield and dual blades mechanics.
- A tempered version of Ruiner Nergigante will now appear in the game.
- New layered armor.
- New items available to meld at the Elder Melder.
- New "Weapon Pose" added.
- New Seliana room decor and BGM added.

■ In order to prevent the Steam overlay from unintentionally impairing gameplay, the Steam overlay no longer appears automatically when you receive friend requests during gameplay.

■ The VRAM Usage window in the options now has a more obvious display to warn you when you are trying to use DirectX 12 with 3.50 GB of available VRAM or less (at least 4 GB of VRAM are required to enable DirectX 12). This is an interface-based change that does not affect VRAM usage.

■ A new "Swap Keys while Grappling" option was added for mouse & keyboard controls. This allows you to unify the controls for "Weapon Attack" and "Flinch Shot" when grappled to a monster with the Clutch Claw, which otherwise may not match the controls for your current weapon after switching between melee and ranged (since the controls for "Weapon Attack" and "Flinch Shot" are based on gamepad controls).

■ A new keybind option was added for "Quest Return Selection" for melee and ranged weapon controls. The default setting is [Tab]. Changing this keybind allows you to set other controls, such as opening the start menu, to the [Tab] key instead.

[Featured Event Quests]
■ Safi'jiiva Siege — March 20 to April 22 (UTC)

Note: You must complete the "??? Recon" before you can post or join the Safi'jiiva Siege.

[Bug Fixes]
- Fixes from up to console Ver. 12.11 have been applied.
- Fixed an issue where guild card info would no longer update after failing to retrieve the guild card data of a player on your guild card list who has not updated to Ver. 10.12.00 or later.
- Fixed several camera-related bugs, including one where the camera would stutter if you moved your mouse very slowly.
- Fixed several key-binding-related bugs, including one where the subkey assigned to a mouse button would not work when both the main key and subkey for a specific control are both assigned to mouse buttons.
- Fixed other minor bugs.
