Monster Hunter Rise - Cohoot Icon.pngTips from Game8 With our new Sticky HBG in mind, this straightforward build improves Rampage H. Bowgun S' general performance and explosive arsenal! Sticky and Cluster Bomb damage is improved through Attack Boost and Artillery. KO damage is bolstered through Slugger which is extremely useful for multiplayer scaling. Lastly, Wirebug Whisperer included alongside your usual set of HBG skills to improve general performance and mobility.

      Give us the ability to change our layered armor display. What I mean is, ya know how armor looks different on the male and female models? well, I wish there was the ability to change the appearance from the male models of armor, to the female models, and the reverse without changing the gender of your character itself. This would be really nice, as imo some armor pieces look better as the male model version.
