rejj Wow, I just tried ZL+ZR and I had no idea that button combination fired the wirebug directly the way the camera is facing. It’s amazing how I can still discover little things like this after so many hours into the game! On one hand, shame on MH for having such labyrinthine controls and just an overall not amazing onboarding process. On the other hand…I kind of love it??
I just updated as well, though it will probably be a little while before I see much of the new stuff. I’m still methodically completing every quest on each tier before I move on and have just made it to the second High Rank level in the Hub. It always amazes me how much of an astronomical improvement the HR equipment is, though I’m not crafting much of it until I can secure some Gunlance-relevant skills (e.g. Artillery, Capacity Boost).
I feel like I should branch out and try some of the weapon types I’ve never touched before (those Dual Blades sure sound fun!) but I’m so spoiled for choice with amazing Gunlances in this game, to the point where I sometimes just use whichever one looks the coolest. I also love all of the novelty weapons (see my post above), though I would be using the rice mallet Charge Blade way more if it didn’t have terrible sharpness (thematically appropriate, I suppose).
