The Monster Hunter MMO Dauntless has officially been released. Now some players are wondering how they can actually go hunting with their friends against the huge Behemoths. We will show you how it works.
Who can I play with? Dauntless has been playable on PC, PS4, and Xbox One since May 21, 2019. On each of these platforms, you can play together with friends – even with crossplay. It is supposed to work that you can play with any friend, regardless of the platform.
Invite friends to a hunting party – here’s how
If you want to hunt together with friends, you just need to follow a few simple steps. First, you need to access the social menu. To do this, you have to press different buttons:
- O on PC (with standard settings)
- the touchpad on PS4
- the “View” button on Xbox One
In the now appearing menu, you will see different things. On PC, your Epic friends list will appear, as Dauntless is available for PC through the Epic Store. On PS4 and Xbox One, you should be able to see both your Epic friends and friends on the corresponding console.
Once you have selected the player you want to play with, you just need to invite them to the group using the “Invite to Group” option.
What you should pay attention to: It may happen that your friends do not appear in Ramsgate right away. But that’s normal and doesn’t mean much. Once you start a hunt together, you should be together.
Once you have defeated the Behemoth, you should also all appear in the same city.
This is how you hunt together
Once you are in a hunting party with your friends, you can also go hunting together after the huge Behemoths that represent your opponents in Dauntless. For this, the group leader or “host” of the game needs to start a hunt.
It is quite simple:
- as the group leader, go to the notice board (Hunt Board)
- select a hunt that you want to undertake
- start the hunt
Once the hunt has started, all group members should also land on the loading screen. You can then go hunting together.
A hunt in a team is particularly useful as you can familiarize yourself better with tactics and thus tackle tougher bosses. It is best to coordinate who wants to take which roles or weapons to get the most out of it:
