Monster Hunter Frontier: New World (2024)

Monster Hunter Frontier: New World is a new generation for the Frontier series that takes place in the New World. This game has both gameplay mechanics from both the 4th generation and 3rd generation, including both the swimming and climbing mechanics introduced in the 3rd and 4th generations, along with a few mechanics and a few things from the Frontier series. This game also incorporates some things that neither of these games have ever had.

Gaming Features[]

• Hunters now go to a new part of the Loc Lac City called The Loc Lac Exploration House in order to do Special Quests called "Research Quests". These quests help the Guild gather more information about certain monsters, certain areas, certain items, and more! These quests help the Guild gather more research for these things and even bring up more information about them. These quests also give hunters a chance to get rare items from the Guild by doing special objectives in the quest for the Guild.

• A single Guild Lobby/Room can have up to 20-40 hunters in the room alone.

  • Freezing Fire: Fire(100%) + Ice(100%) Naco Agul
  • Mimicry: Dragon(50%) + Poison(200%) Uirusfura

• These combined elements are used by monsters and each one has its own blight now.
  • Blaze: This blight causes hunters to lose health faster and slows recovery after being attacked.
  • Light: When hit by this element, the hunter's screen will become brighter and much harder to see from the light glowing.
  • Thunder Pole: Thunder Pole decreases the affinity of a weapon.
  • Tenshou: When hunters are hit by this element, the blight will cause hunters to regenerate health and stamina slower.
  • Frozen Seraphim: This element decreases the hunters resistance to the elements and gets rid of their element on weapons.
  • Sou: Stamina decreases faster and it takes longer for stamina to recover.
  • Black Flame: This blight actually causes hunters to be more likely to be possessed by certain monsters.
  • Darkness: Darkness makes the screen darker and gold spots to pop up around the screen. This element makes it harder for hunters to see.
  • Falling Star: Similar to Slimeblight, it explodes after a certain amount of time but unlike it, it explodes multiple times causing more damage and it requires Deodorant.
  • Blazing Darkness: This blight actually lowers the elemental resistance of armors and helps the monster to do more elemental damage than usual.
  • Wind: This blight causes hunters to be hit multiple times with just one attack while the blight is active and makes hunters more likely to lose their balance from the wind by monsters.
  • Crimson Demon: This blight causes hunters to lose their buffs from certain items such as Demondrugs, Armorskins, Cool Drinks, Hot Drinks etc.
  • Gold Dust: This blight will cause hunters to leave behind explosive crystals on the ground with each step they take and these crystals will make any nearby hunters Dizzy.
  • Sound: Sound causes hunters to make more noise with each attack they do, making it easier for certain monsters to hear the hunters and spot them.
  • Freezing Fire: This blight freezes a hunter's feet to the ground and burns the rest of the hunter's body with fire. As their body is on fire, the ice on their feet will slowly melt and when hunters break free, it will turn into Fireblight.
  • Mimicry: This blight makes hunters see a range of different colors, confusing them as they try to hit their target while also preventing them from eating certain items.
• Slimeblight and Blastblight are now different aliments though both do the same thing.
  • Slimeblight does more damage than Blastblight.
• New World brings in a few new different Aliments in the game along with a few older aliments that appeared in the 3rd Generation, 4th Generation, and Frontier Series.
  • Blood: Blood decreases a hunter's weapon sharpness faster when hunters are hit by it and the hunters decrease their sharpness faster each time they attack a monster. With Gunners, they waste a bullet/a arrow coating each time they fire/shoot. To get rid of this aliment, hunters can roll around in water or just wait until it disappears.
  • Salty: This aliment causes hunters to lose health and feel hot as if they were in a hot environment. To get rid of this aliment, hunters must drink a Cool Drink.
  • Mute: Makes hunters lose their hearing for a short period of time and stops the BGM along with the SFX to stop playing. Hunters can only wait until the aliment is gone to regain their hearing or hunters can use an item known as Hearing Aids. If hunters have Earplugs, the time hunters are mute is decreased and the higher level the Earplugs, the shorter the effect lasts.
  • Possession: Possession makes hunters fall under a monster's control. Mainly Origin Dragons such as Fatalis have this ability though a few other monsters may have this ability. Hunters will have to mash buttons so monsters don't possess them but its extremely hard since the meter also accounts for the amount of damage the hunter has taken. If the hunter has taken to much damage and has little health, they will almost instantly possess them. After a hunter is possessed, the hunter will slowly rise from the ground and be covered in a dark red aura before seemingly being brought back from the dead. The possessed hunters objective is just to help the monster kill and defeat the other hunters, making them fail the quests while also attacking them with normal attacks. With some possessions, the monster will give you special rewards along with some extra zeni.
  • Sticky Poison: This aliment puts hunters in a Web Bound-like state where they are in capable of moving and slowly lose health while standing in place. To get out, hunters need a A. Cleanser.
  • Rotten Fish: This status is like a water version of Soiled and attracts any fish eaters to the area. Once in the area, they will attack any hunter with this status on them. To get rid of the status, hunters need a Fishy Deodorant.
  • Sour: Sour makes hunters fall to their knees and cover their eyes from the juices of the fruit before the hunters stand back up. The hunters vision will be blurred and everything will look yellowish to them.

Weapons[]

All weapons from all three games make a return to New World.

• Melee weapons now gain a new coatings to put on them like on Frontier. "Slime Coatings" and "Power Coatings" are introduced to Blademasters. These require special skills in order to use.

• All of the weapons, including the Switch Axe, Insect Glaive, Charge Blade, and Tonfa, gain all new attacks in Skill Rank.
  • Great Sword: The Great Sword gains a fourth charge level that actually does both slash and KO damage along with more damage.
  • Long Sword: When hunters slash backwards, they will quickly recover before slashing forward three times in front of them with a huge burst of speed. The last hit, is timed and charged.
  • Sword and Shield: While blocking, hunters can now preform counters like Lances, going into the Sword and Shield's normal combo.
  • Dual Blades: The Dual Blades can now perform a forward spin ending with the Demon Dance combo.
  • Hammer: Its normal Golf swing is replaced with a super version of it while doing combos. This Golf swing is slower than the normal one.
  • Hunting Horn: The hunter super pounds the Hunting Horn before jumping into the air and slamming it to the ground like the SR Hammer in Frontier.
  • Lance: The Lance gains a fourth stab along with a charged ESP stab.
  • Gunlance: When the wyvernfire is charged, hunters will charge forward much like the Lance. While charging, it will do explosive damage before the hunter stabs forward and wyvernfires.
  • Switch Axe: Instead of doing infinite combo in Axe Mode, the hunter will spin in place much like the Hammer and hit the monster multiple times before ending it with a Sword Mode slash. In Sword Mode, the Switch Axe will do its elemental burst before quickly going into a new version of that charge that is larger and a lot more unstable.
  • Charge Blade: Hunter rears sword back before jumping forward than backwards in the air, like the Insect Rod, before combining the combo with its Axe Mode draw.
  • Insect Glaive: Now while in the middle of a combo, the Kinsect will attack with the hunter until its sent to gather EX from the monster.
  • Tonfa: The hunter is now able to throw one of the Tonfa like a Boomerang and even able to fight with just one while the other comes back.
  • Light Bowgun: Now when hunters roll while using the Light Bowgun, they will use their hunting knife to stab monsters while rolling.
  • Heavy Bowgun: In Skill Rank, Heavy Bowguns are able to shoot all of their shoots on one type of ammo in Siege Mode.
  • Bow: Bows can now hook on to monsters before shooting multiple shoots on a monster's back while jumping off ledges.

• Now there are more weapon trees in this game.

• Bowguns and Bows gain a new "Hook Shoot", allowing them to jump on the monsters back and rodeo/mount them.
  • They also gain a new "Net Shoot" that hits a monster and covers their face.

• After the update in 5.0, all weapons now have Extinction Style attacks.
  • Great Sword: The Great Sword will be put on the left side of the hunter before the hunter runs forward while dragging the sword on the ground. The hunter will than jump in the air and perform a slamming jump attack, similar to the Hammer. This attack gets rid of the hunters ability to block with the Great Sword and while charging, it decreases the amount of sharpness every few seconds during the charge though if hunters are underwater, their sharpness won't decrease. Every time with the charge, the hunters stamina decreases like with a Lance's charge.
  • Long Sword: The Long Sword can perform a jumping back forward stab before lifting the sword up and performing an uppercut like Monster Hunter Frontier G's Skill Rank Long Sword. If hunters are able to make contact with a monster with the uppercut, the Long Sword's affinity will increase by 5% and hunters will not lose spirit from the Spirit Gauge for fifteen seconds. If hunters aren't able to make contact with a monster with the uppercut, their affinity will decrease by 10% and the Spirit Gauge will completely disappear, not allowing hunters to fill it up. This attack can only be done ten times in a quest.
  • Sword and Shield: While blocking, the hunter will quickly bash the shield forward and swing it from side to side, causing KO damage but also slowly losing stamina with each shield slap. When hunters run out of stamina, they will bash the shield forward before jumping back and going into the Sword and Shields normal combo.
  • Dual Blades: The Dual Blades will perform a spinning twirl forward and hover in the air a little bit before striking down from the air.
  • Hammer: While the Hammer is spinning in a circle, players can now repeatedly tap a button in order to continuously spin but while doing so they consume their stamina.
  • Hunting Horn: Hunting Horns are able to play two different notes at once now.
  • Lance: Similar to Frontier G, the hunter will raise their Lance to take multiple hits while also protecting fellow hunters. Unlike Frontier G, other hunters are able to climb up on the shield and jump off to perform jump attacks.
  • Gunlance: Hunters that use Extinction Style for Gunlances get to add an element to their bullets to deal more damage.
  • Switch Axe: The Switch Axe, in Sword Mode, will now instead do a slash combo when performing the discharge attack. While performing this combo, multiple hit points will appear around the monster before the discharge's explosion. When the explosion hits, multiple spots on the monster is weak to all sorts of elemental damage.
  • Charge Blade: While ultra charged with all phials and shield, hunters are able to hold the shockwave and charge it up three times like the Great Sword. When the shockwave attack is done and if charged up, the shockwave will not only explode around where the axe lands but also explodes under the hunter, sending that and any other hunters into the air, allowing them to perform a jump attack.
  • Insect Glaive: Wild spinning glaive slashes.
  • Tonfa: This.
  • Light Bowgun: Shots now bounce twice on the monster to deal more damage to the monster.
