What’s New In Monster Hunter Rise 3.6.1 Update?

Monster Hunter Rise may have been released a while back, but the game is far from being dead, as Capcom is constantly releasing updates and new content for its popular Nintendo Switch exclusive.

Now, the Japanese developer released the new 3.6.1 update, which introduces some changes to the game. What exactly are these changes? Let’s find out.

What’s New in Monster Hunter Rise 3.6.1 Update?

New Features

The Monster Hunter Rise 3.6.1 update is a little light on new features, which isn’t surprising, considering the development team is hard at work on the Sunbreak expansion that will release next year.

The new update introduces support for new Event Quests that will be available every week, support for new DLC that can be purchased from the Nintendo eShop, and a Gyro Correction function to the Gyroscope options that allows players to decide how frequently the position of the gyroscope is recalibrated. This should make gyroscope controls feel much better, compared to the previous versions of the game.

Bug Fixes

The 3.6.1 update also packs a high number of bug fixes, ranging from visual to gameplay bugs. Most of these bugs happen rarely, but so not too many players experience them, but it’s still nice to have them fixed.

Catch the full list of fixed bugs below.

• Fixed a bug preventing monsters from retreating if you join a Rampage Quest with specific timing, resulting in the quest becoming incompletable.
• Fixed a bug causing display issues for the Bishaten armor series when equipped on Body Type 01.

• Fixed a bug occasionally causing the game to freeze if the bowgun’s Sticky Ammo explodes right when the screen changes, such as during the quest results.
• Fixed a bug occasionally preventing the photosensitivity warning from being displayed in the selected language.
• Fixed a bug causing the options to be reset to default if you cancel after performing specific actions on the Options screen.
• Fixed a bug preventing the “!” icon from disappearing for the message at the very bottom of the chat window, if you look at the log while you have an unread chat message.
