Monster Hunter Rise
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Digital Event November 2022
A Message From Director Suzuki – Gunlance Shelling Level Boosts!
We hope the week’s been treating you well!
Following on from last week’s Director Suzuki Post, in which he gave us our first look at the new Anomaly Investigation level adjustment feature coming to Sunbreak as part of Free Title Update 3, we’re back with his latest info drop… and this one’s for the Gunlancers!
Hey everyone! As part of Free Title Update 3, we will be adding the ability to boost the Shelling Level for Shelling Lv 6 or Lv 7 Gunlances in Qurious Crafting (the maximum is Lv 8). We hope this helps to widen the variety of weapon selections for players.
- Suzuki, Sunbreak Director
That’s right, from Free Title Update 3 onwards, you’ll be able to further upgrade your Shelling Lv 6 & 7 Gunlances via Qurious Crafting up to Shelling Lv 8!
We’re excited to see an increased range of Gunlances blasting through Sunbreak’s endgame! Which Gunlances will you be upgrading first and taking into the hunt? Let us know in the comments!
For those wondering, Free Title Update 3 will be available to all Sunbreak players in late November, with even more Free Title Updates coming in 2023!
Thanks everyone! See you in the hunt!

A Message From Director Suzuki – Adjusting Anomaly Investigation Levels!
We hope you're all having a great week!
Starting this week, Sunbreak Director Suzuki has begun sharing some small new details about Free Title Update 3, which is scheduled to arrive late November!
The first piece of news dropped today, so let's get our first sneak peek at a new feature that'll be waiting for us in Free Title Update 3...
Hey everyone! Free Title Update 3 will let you adjust the Quest Level for Anomaly Investigations. For example, after obtaining a level 31 quest and working your way to level 100 on that quest, you will then be able to freely change the level within that range.
- Suzuki, Sunbreak Director
So, if you're wanting to have greater flexibilty over your favourite Anomaly Investigations that you've levelled, this quality of life feature will be for you!
Whether you're looking to target farm lower level anomaly materials, or simply play these quests with friends who are a lower Anomaly Investigation level threshold than you, we hope you enjoy trying this out!
We'll be back again soon, but in the meantime we'll leave you with the Free Title Update Roadmap that takes us into 2023...
Thanks everyone! See you in the hunt!

Notification of Patch Ver.12.0.1.1
Available
October 14, 2022
We have released patch Ver.12.0.1.1 to address the following issue:
Bug Fixes and Balance Adjustments
- After looking into the issue caused by repeated input of gestures and pose sets, we have adjusted the game to accept a maximum of 4 inputs per second in order to maintain Lobby stability.
- Fixed an issue causing an error to occur if you try to claim the "Lost Code" Hunter layered weapon pack (14 types) all at once.
- Fixed an issue where the great swords "Chrome Heaven", "Antique Machina GS", and "Lordly Deathcap" would have an insufficient number of Anomaly Slots.
- Fixed an issue causing Risen Chameleos to behave differently for players with an Anomaly Research Level below 100 and players with an Anomaly Research Level of 100 or higher.
- Fixed an issue causing Violet Mizutsune to keep going around in circles if the player uses a Tricktoad under specific conditions during the M6★ quest "A Mysterious Pale Flame."
- Fixed an issue causing the game to crash if the player uses the "Equipment Search" function at the Smithy or in the Item Box if they do not have the right to play "Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak."
- The game now no longer autosaves at the start of a cutscene.
- Players will no longer be able to accept unauthorized Anomaly Investigations at the Quest Counter.
- If the player joins an Anomaly Investigation via a Join Request, and the quest is identified as unauthorized, a chat log message will now be displayed to notify the player of this fact.
- Fixed a bug causing the game to crash when connecting to the "Nahimic Audio" sound utility software.
- Other miscellaneous bug fixes have been made.
Notice
- Monster Hunter Rise does not allow for matchmaking between different versions of the game. If you update the game, you will no longer be able to matchmake with players who haven't applied the patch yet. You can check your current version on the bottom right of the title screen.
- The Steam version does not support cross saves or crossplay with other platforms.
- For any questions, please visit our support website:

We look forward to your continued support!
Kamura Hunter’s Hub #15 – Title Update 2’s New Armour Skills Overview!
Welcome to Kamura Hunter’s Hub #15!
In this week’s post we’re going to be taking a closer look at the new armour skills that arrived as part of Free Title Update 2! These skills are unique to the three new armour sets that can be crafted from defeating Title Update 2’s new monsters and offer interesting new ways to power-up your playstyle, so we thought we’d check them out with you!
Director Suzuki also has a message to share about a powerful feature that you can harness by using Flaming Espinas weapons…
Before we get into that though, we’d like to say a HUGE welcome to all the new Hunters who joined us in the recent sale. Whether you’re stepping into Kamura for the first time, or taking a voyage over to Elgado Outpost with Fiorayne, we hope you’re having an awesome time – thank you for joining us.
Oh and for those new Hunters, if you’re looking for a helping hand, or simply want to get to Sunbreak as quickly as possible, check out our free, optional Black Belt S armour and Defender Weapon set:
Right then, it’s time to chat about that spicy new gear!
New Monsters, New Armour Skills!
Three fearsome new monsters arrived with TU2 in the forms of Flaming Espinas, Violet Mizutsune and Risen Chameleos!
They’ve brought the heat, and Hunters that rise to the challenge will reap the rewards! With hot new weapons in the case of Flaming Espinas and Violet Mizutsune, plus new armour sets, skills and decorations for all three monsters, you’re going to be keeping Minayle busy!
Flaming Espinas & Intrepid Heart – MR 10
Flaming Espinas by name, Flaming Espinas by nature! Hunters that manage to take down this fiery monster will be able to start crafting its set of weapons and armour, channelling this monster’s unrelenting nature.
As with all other armour sets, there’s a range of skills available for you to utilise, but today we’ll be highlighting its unique new skill, “Intrepid Heart”, which can be found on Flaming Espinas’s Arms and Greaves.
Intrepid Heart is a skill with two levels that does the following:
After filling the gauge by continuously landing attacks, negates damage reactions and reduces damage taken from a single attack that would knock you back.
At level one you’ll get the above effect, and with two levels you’ll reduce damage further and also release a damaging explosion when struck!
If you’re looking for a rocksteady offence, this one’s for you! After all, they do say the best form of defence is attack…
Violet Mizutsune & Embolden – MR 10
Sliding in with a barrage of bubbles, Violet Mizutsune is ready to put a singe in the step of any Hunter who dare challenges it!
After hunting this monster the crafting can begin as you embrace being the centre of attention for powerful buffs!
That’s right, Violet Mizutsune’s set comes with the unique skill “Embolden”, which can be found on its chest, greaves and waist!
Embolden is a skill with three levels that does the following:
When targeted by a monster, that monster becomes more likely to become enraged but your own defence is increased.
Level 1: While active, defence +10, slightly prolongs dodging invincibility and slightly lowers impact when guarding.
Level 2: While active, defence +20, prolongs invincibility when dodging and lowers impact when guarding.
Level 3: While active, defence +40, greatly prolongs dodging invincibility and greatly lowers impact when guarding.
For Hunters that relish being in the spotlight, this ones for you! And about the monsters you face being enraged more? These pieces also come with Agitator to really capitalise on the situation!
If you’re looking for a powerful defensive and offensive boost when it matters the most, check out the Embolden skill and the Violet Mizutsune armour pieces it comes on!
Risen Chameleos & Buildup Boost – MR 110
Rising up to overcome the affliction, Risen Chameleos unleashes a toxic nightmare to any foolish, or brave enough to confront it.
This one’s for the Hunters who, much like Risen Chameleos, head into the hunt with hard hitting offensive status attacks at the forefront of their strategy!
Equipping the Greaves, Chest or Arms of Risen Chameleos’s set will grant you the new skill “Buildup Boost”!
Buildup Boost is a skill with three levels that does the following:
Increases attack power when you land attacks that build poison, paralysis, sleep, blast, or exhaust. (Exhaust - ammo/phials/coatings only)
Level 1: While active, increases attack power by 10%
Level 2: While active, increases attack power by 15%.
Level 3: While active, increases attack power by 20%.
Oh yes, landing blows that build status effect will increase your attack power for that strike! We’ve enjoyed seeing the build crafting occurring within the community as they’ve sought to harness the true potential of this skill.
From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like a certain “Status Trigger” skill from Title Update 1’s Gold Rathian armour has some powerful synergy with Buildup Boost, so it might be worth getting hunting party together for a visit to the Illustrious Queen…
But remember Hunters, this is just one of many combinations! Have you been utilising Buildup Boost, or any of the other new skills that arrived in Title Update 2? Let us know how in the comments, we love reading about your favourite and ingenious new skill combos and sets.
A Message From Sunbreak Director Suzuki
Hey everyone!
Free Title Update 2 is now available. Weapons made from Flaming Espinas materials possess two different elements. Only the main element is displayed on the weapon's details screen, but the weapons also possess a poison element that builds up as you attack a monster.
We've also identified an issue where using gestures/poses in quick succession can put a heavy tax on the Lobby. We've restricted this in Ver.12, but we'll continue to look into ways of allowing as many inputs as possible whilst maintaining the stability of the game.
- Suzuki, Sunbreak Director
Quest Complete – We’ll see you next time!
That wraps up this week’s community post! Thanks for coming by and checking it out!
We hope you’re all having a great time with Free Title Update 2’s content, from the new monsters, armour and weapons, to the new Decorations, Qurious Crafting upgrades and Anomaly Investigation level cap increase!
For those of you yet to reach MR10, fear not, after completing Sunbreak’s story you’ll be just a few hunts away from joining in on the expanding Sunbreak endgame too!
We’ll be back again soon with another community update, but in the meantime, happy hunting!
See you in the hunt!

Title Update 2 (Ver.12) Outline
Release Date: September 29, 2022
New monsters
A rare species and subspecies make their appearance, among others!
Make sure you're suitably prepared!
Violet Mizutsune
Violet Mizutsune are leviathans known for their beautiful lilac-colored fur.
They use the fluid they secrete to slide around, targeting their prey with gas-filled bubbles. Though they appear graceful creatures, the facade quickly fades as they envelop themselves in pale flames and bathe their surroundings in a beautiful, but deadly,inferno of white-hot flame.
Flaming Espinas
An Espinas subspecies with a slightly more muted body color.
The boldness of the standard Espinas remains: run-of-the-mill attacks won't rouse Flaming Espinas from their slumber. Their breath attack contains a powerful poison, and a dense acid that deteriorates armor.
Take this attack head-on, and you won't stand a chance...
Risen Chameleos
Risen Chameleos are elder dragons that have found a way to overcome their affliction. By suppressing the Qurio virus, they have gained great strength and new abilities. They now boast superior poison and physicality, sending you off into a toxic nightmare if you lose sight of them.
Anomaly Research Quests
New monsters, including Risen Chameleos!
New A6★ Anomaly Quest rank! Anomaly Investigations now go up to Lv. 120!
Risen Elder Dragons
Elder dragons that have fully overcome the affliction caused by the Anomaly, creating a symbiotic relationship with the Qurio.
Their "risen" state poses an even greater danger than when they were still under the influence of the affliction.
Layered weapons are now available!
Almost all weapons up to Free Title Update 2 (Ver.12) can be used as layered weapons!
Pick you favorite weapon design to spice up your hunting life!
Layered weapon designs are available as paid DLC as well!
A variety of DLC has been added, including the "Lost Code" layered weapon series (all 14 weapon types)!
Event Quests
Available every week! Complete Event Quests to gain special rewards!
