Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 SOS Flares can summon support NPCs to help with hunts CapcomMonster Hunter Wilds makes getting help on hunts easier with the addition of support NPCs to answer your SOS Flares. Monster Hunter Wilds has had an explosive showing at Gamescom 2024. Our own hands-on time with the game has us incredibly excited for its release which looks to capitalize on the winning formula that Capcom has been honing since the PS2 era. Thanks to an incredible new trailer and multiple developer streams, we\u2019ve had a look at stunning new monsters and some of the reworks to the franchise\u2019s famous weapons. In between the footage shown off, the devs behind Monster Hunter Wilds have also revealed a tonne of new inclusions to the series like the removal of gender-locks on armor. One new feature that has flown under the radar so far is the fact that SOS Flares will now call NPC Support Hunters if real players are ignoring your request. Reception to this change from fans of the franchise has been overwhelmingly positive. To get the scary part out of the way, Capcom has confirmed that the ability to have AI companions join your hunt is completely optional. \u201cSettings can be customized to be either \u2018player only\u2019 or \u2018support hunter\u2019 only,\u201d the developer explained. A mix of the two will be the default setting in the game. What this means is that the game can fill out your party to a full four regardless of whether or not other players decide to join your hunt. If you\u2019ve played Monster Hunter World and sent up an SOS flare to no response, you\u2019ll know how frustrating it can feel to not get the help you need. Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 variant on SOS flares looks to reduce that frustration. Players have taken the news of this new mechanic well, with plenty coming forward to praise the decision in a Reddit thread discussing the feature. \u201cGreat addition, I was conflicted at first, but then I thought about all the people who have a hard time solo, nothing wrong with giving people options, as long as they are options,\u201d one hunter allowed. \u201cOh hell yeah. I am all for this. Giving people options is only ever a good thing,\u201d another replied. Finally, hunters who aren\u2019t farming Lightbreak gear from Raging Brachydios will have someone answer their calls for aid. Even if that someone isn\u2019t technically a someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
