Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Showcases Light Bowgun Boosted Actions

Capcom has released a new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, introducing the new Boosted Actions mechanics for the Light Bowgun. 

Utilization of Boost here enables gunslinging counters while running and gunning, as well as unleashing a torrent of bullets.

The Boost Bracer becomes available as hunters progress into Master Rank. Players build its energy by maintaining their attacks against monsters. Once enough energy is available, Boost can be activated through a special Boost Driver attack or other actions specific to individual weapons.

Activating Boost expands each weapon’s available moves, including new combos and strengthened attacks. The exact mechanics differ depending on the equipped weapon, giving each of the 14 types its own set of Boosted Actions.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. A Switch 2 version is in the works.
