Overview

• Patch 1.021 frontloads September’s endgame plans by adding nine new 9★ Tempered monsters for Hunter Rank 100 players.
• Players can now collect Glowing Stones that appraise into randomized talismans with varied skills and decoration slots.
• Weapon balance adjustments grew from five originally planned types to 11, and quality-of-life tweaks aim to smooth combat.
• Reports of a game crash when fainting and returning to camp have prompted Capcom to prepare hotfix Ver.1.021.01.00.
• PC performance problems linger despite shader, anti-cheat and super-resolution fixes, so Capcom recommends frame rate limits and schedules deeper CPU/GPU optimizations for winter.
