Monster Hunter World Multiplayer Tips

We've prepared some tips to help you enjoy your full potential in MH World Multiplayer mode.

• Palicos – In Monster Hunter World, players have Palicoes. They're cat-like combat companions. Players can have Palicoes specializing in offense, defense, or support abilities. Each player can have one Palico, which they can customize. However, in multiplayer mode, you can have your Palico as long as you play with only one other player. With more than two players, no one has their Palico.
• Random matchmake – Monster Hunter World allows you to matchmake with random players and go on quests. You can communicate with anyone in your session if you plug in your mic.
• Pay attention to the Hunter Levels – To fully enjoy your quests with your friends; you must know that your Hunter Levels matter. Before doing a quest together, you must consider all your Hunter Levels. If you're a level 2 hunter, you won't be able to join a level 5 hunt. Higher-level hunters can join lower-level hunts but not vice versa.
• Wait for the cutscenes – If you want to jump in on a story mission and help your friend, you must wait for the cutscenes. Even if you've already completed the pre-monster part and watched the cutscenes, you'll have to wait until your friend finishes them. While they're doing that, you have to stare at the quest board and wait. When they finish the cutscenes and pre-monster part of the quest, they can launch an SOS flare, which is your queue to jump in.
