In Monster Hunter Wilds there are various versions and variants of many monsters. One of them is the “frenzied” monsters, which are supposed to provide players with a particularly threatening challenge. A player has now defeated one of them in no time, leading to discussions in the community.
Which monsters are involved? Frenzied monsters are alternative variants of already existing monsters that have been infected by the “Frenzy Virus.” This causes them to become rabid and attack more aggressively and quickly. They can also transmit the virus themselves, which increases the damage suffered by the hunter during an outbreak and restricts health regeneration.
To avoid spoilers for the story, we will not reveal the reason that originally triggers the virus. However, if you resolve this, no new infected monsters will appear on the map for a while.
On Reddit, a player now shares his very quick kill, which leads to discussions among fans about whether the frenzied monsters are fulfilling their role.
Do you feel that Monster Hunter Wilds is easier than World? There might be a reason for that:
“Frenzied monsters are poorly balanced in this game.”
What does the player share? With his great sword, the player encounters a frenzied Yian Kut-Ku. In his video, you can see how he brings it to its knees with just under 5 attacks in 25 seconds. The monster hardly gets a chance to fight back:
How does the community react to this? Fans on Reddit take the quick kill as an opportunity to discuss whether frenzied monsters are not fulfilling their role of providing a special threat.
“Frenzied monsters are poorly balanced in this game,” describes user Darthplagueis13 his experience in a comment. “One would think that they cause more damage or are faster, but I saw a video where someone tested that, and it doesn’t look like it – they are just tankier.”
Many players share the feeling that the monsters do not even attack faster or more often, let alone deal more damage. They simply have less health. Some also theorize that they are only there to fuel the story and have no other purpose.
Fans also criticize that the virus only affects a handful of monsters and would like to see greater variety. Additionally, they demand adjustments to the damage that monsters deal, the resistances granted by the virus, or the attack patterns. As they are now, the monsters are not a real threat.
The team behind Monster Hunter Wilds is constantly working on the further development of the game and is heavily influenced by the feedback from the community. So it is not unlikely that adjustments will be made in the future.
In a few weeks, there will be the first major title update. This will provide not only 2 new monsters but also some additional content and improvements, including a place where you can hang out with your friends: Capcom reveals when the first major update for Monster Hunter Wilds will be released – will bring a new area where you can chill with friends
