Monster Hunter Now Hunt-a-thon details

Hunt-a-thons feature exclusive monsters.

Hunt-a-thons enable up to four players to hunt multiple monsters in succession. These special hunts are shown on the map via Dimensional Rifts, which occur at a Wayspot (gathering point). You’ll get a notice and a countdown will appear to let you know a Hunt-a-thon is about to start.

Simply head over to the Wayspot and join the hunt. It’s important to note, that you can join another Hunt-a-thon immediately by using a Hunt-a-thon Ticket, which can be purchased from the in-game shop.

This enables you to bypass the three-hour Hunt-a-thon cooldown, giving you more opportunities to hunt Zinogre and other Hunter-a-thon exclusive monsters.

So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about Hunt-a-thons in Monster Hunter Now. As always, be sure to head over to our Monster Hunter Now page for all the latest news and guides.
