The update 2.01 of Monster Hunter: World will fix the stubborn Dragon Slayer bug and other minor bugs. Capcom has now announced this.
The patch waves for Monster Hunter: World continue to roll out. A smaller update is expected next week that will particularly please fans of the bow.
After the major balance patch 2.0 (PS4) and 2.0.0.0 (XB One), where almost all weapons underwent various changes, a smaller patch is now coming. This will not only fix minor issues but fully resolve the long-known Dragon Slayer bug.
Shooting backward? No problem!
Normally, the targeting range in which one can fire the strong bow ability Dragon Slayer is restricted to a certain angle.
This is meant to prevent players from shooting their arrows backward.
However, a bug allowed players to shoot the Dragon Slayer in any possible direction, as can be seen in this demonstration video:
This bug was fixed in the last major update, but it led to another specific issue.
If the crosshair was aimed at a target and the Dragon Slayer attack was then executed quickly, it could happen that the character could no longer look in the direction of the crosshair.
This will be fixed with the next patch, and starting with 2.01 / 2.0.0.1, players will be able to shoot the Dragon Slayer in the direction of the crosshair, even if the character is not currently looking in that direction.
However, if the crosshair is moved outside the allowed attack angle, then the Dragon Slayer will be fired in the direction the character is facing.
“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature”
In the case of an inventory bug, Capcom decided to take the path of reverse implementation of the content and simply redesigned the bug as a feature.
When selecting armor during arena quests, the order of the object windows would sometimes change.
- From the standard cursor position, objects are listed from left to right when checking the object information.
- Then, the standard objects will appear in the following order: whetstone, trap tool, fishing rod, and barbecue stick.
- Lastly, special tools are listed from left to right.
Other minor bugs that are being fixed with the update have not been listed by Capcom in the patch notes.
When the new patch for Monster Hunter World will arrive is still not entirely clear. Capcom is talking about the first week of April.
