In Monster Hunter World, you can join a squad. These are clans that can hold up to 50 members. We explain how squads work and what else you can do with a group here.
In Monster Hunter World, there will be large in-game communities that you can join. In these squads, you can participate in various group activities; they can be seen as guilds or clans. Your squad can accommodate up to 50 players.
There is also a Tavern, the Star-Ship, where up to 16 players can find a spot. In the tavern, strategies for the next hunt can be discussed, or you can meet for an arm-wrestling match! The tavern is also available to you offline.
The tavern is for community management, quests & information
You can do the following in the tavern:
- Arena quests accept and participate in
- So far, arena quests in Monster Hunter have been a way to acquire special equipment. Participants must bring specific gear, which presents a new challenge. Those who successfully complete arena quests receive special rewards that are not available in “normal” quests.
- Counter-quests: With these quests, you advance your progress.
- At the quest counter, you can find missions for which you must achieve specific goals to complete successfully. This could mean defeating a certain number of monsters or capturing a special creature. The more story quests you complete, the more counter quests you can conduct.
- Squad management: In the tavern, you can manage your clans.
- Notice board: On the notice board, you will find important information and the login bonuses.
- There is also:
- A canteen
- Supplies for the hunt
- Your house
Gathering hub: The meeting place can form the quest group
The gathering hub of a squad can hold up to 16 players who prepare quests together. Up to 4 out of the 16 players can go on a mission together.
Some quests provide the opportunity for players to join a mission late via “drop-in”. However, if too much time passes, they will receive NO reward for the quest, and it will also NOT be counted as completed. This means there will be a time limit during which latecomers can still earn rewards for the quest.
Those who have exceeded the time limit must repeat the quest to receive the reward. However, it can still be worthwhile to join the quest late. Everyone who has joined a mission will receive items and drops from monsters.
Squads offer private spaces for small or established groups
In Monster Hunter World, you can invite players to your squad via an invitation system. A squad can accommodate 50 members, and you can be a member of up to 8 different squads.
You can give your squad a name, a symbol, an icon, and a message. Each member can equip an icon to represent their squad.
When you go looking for a squad, there will be a search function for that. You will also be able to search for players you recently played on a mission with.
Squads and “gathering hubs” also offer you private spaces. Create them to retreat there when you want to be alone with other players.
