II. Performance and Gameplay Quality Improvements

Capcom emphasized that this update focuses heavily on technical performance.

• CPU/GPU Optimization: CPU and GPU optimizations have been implemented across all hardware, improving frame pacing, collision detection, and the number of simultaneous effects.

• 100+ Improvements: Over 100 performance improvements have been made, affecting players, monsters, Seikret, Palicos, and the GUI.

III. Weapon Balancing and Skill Changes

Nearly every weapon in hunters' arsenals has received significant damage boosts and quality-of-life (QoL) adjustments:

IV. Hub and Events

• Festival of Accord: The new Festival of Accord event will run from December 19, 2025, to January 14, 2026. During this period, Handler costumes, Hub decorations, and the Canteen menu will be temporarily updated.
