Paint Pod Uses
Used To Track Monsters
The Paint Pod is used to mark monsters, allowing the hunter to track them. This is especially useful for fleeing monsters, as they can be easily tracked as they run away from the hunter and flee to other areas.
While monsters can be tracked with scoutflies, Paint Pod allows the hunter to distinguish a specific monster when there are multiple monsters of the same type in a given hunt.
Requires the Use of Slinger
The Paint Pod can only be fired with the Slinger, as it counts as ammunition. Fortunately, since both are fixed items, the Hunter carries both on all hunts.
