In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can expect not only a realistically looking fauna but also regions that have their own specific characteristics. A weather phenomenon in the wind plains particularly excites parts of the community.
What kind of weather phenomenon is this? The wind plains form the first region of Monster Hunter Wilds and welcome you with sandy deserts, sparse grasslands, and fertile oases. Occasionally, the zone is visited by a weather event known as the sand flood.
Behind it lurks a massive, thundering sandstorm that does not simply appear; it carves a destructive path through the entire region. How impressive this is in practice is shown by the post from ChanceYam2278 on Reddit:
What happens during the storm? The normally bright blue sky starts to darken. From a sand dune, the player observes an impressive wall of sand approaching the hunter on the distant horizon. The roar of the wind grows increasingly louder.
As the natural force hits the avatar, it raises its hands protectively in front of its face. Within the storm, the sandy brown shifts to a stormy blue. Lightning lashes down from the sky. An impressive backdrop that excites many fans of Monster Hunter.
The launch trailer of Monster Hunter Wilds:
“Pretty intimidating”
How does the community react? More than 4,300 upvotes and over 160 comments show that the storm leaves a lasting impression.
- roogops celebrates on Reddit: “I think it’s great that you can hear the roar of the wind, which gets stronger as the storm approaches. Such a nice little detail.”
- EpicDragonz4 is surprised (via Reddit): “I recently noticed that the weather actually spreads gradually across the map while I thought it was just toggled on and off. It’s so cool what they’ve done with the weather effects in this game.”
- absoIuteIyhatereddit reports on Reddit: “I have actually stood in the face of such storms before. It feels like a sting on the skin when it hits, and all light sources turn blue.”
- LuminothWarrior writes on Reddit: “It’s pretty intimidating when you see that wall of sand approaching so quickly.”
What else do the regions offer? The regions undergo a day-night cycle that affects the types of monsters roaming the zone. Furthermore, the later zones also bring their own specific characteristics. At times, it can get very cold or very hot, which you should compensate for with certain consumables.
In the Carmine Forest, on the other hand, there are torrential downpours that bring floods. These and other phenomena add a certain something to monster hunting.
