The Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion that released earlier in September has continued to breathe new life into the game since its release. From themed events like the Resident Evil 2 crossover, to new areas and monsters to hunt, Iceborne really has given a lot more for players to do.
Similarly to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne crossover events of the past, PlayStation has recently launched another multi-part crossover event – this time with the critically acclaimed title, Horizon Zero Dawn. In this crossover event, players will be able to equip their hunters with a special Light Bowgun: Aloy’s Stormslinger prototype.
Getting Aloy’s Stormslinger
Among the events of November, the event capping off the month focuses around Horizon Zero Dawn. Since this is a Horizon Zero Dawn themed crossover event, it’s only natural that the way to get this special Light Bowgun is reminiscent of its source material. If players want to use this special weapon, they’ll need to fight and defeat a Zinogre in the Hoarfrost Reach area.
A few Monster Hunter World tips and tricks are recommended for players wanting to face off against this electrically charged monster. For one, players need make sure Master Rank is at least at 24 before heading off for this hunt. Additionally, players should bring some Thunder Resistance along for the hunt, as the Zinogre is...quite shocking.
About Aloy’s Stormslinger
As stated above, this special Light Bowgun is themed after Aloy’s Stormslinger weapon from Horizon Zero Dawn. Specifically, it takes after the Improved Stormslinger in the Frozen Wilds expansion to the main game. The design of the weapon takes after the Bunk tribe found in Horizon Zero Dawn, complete with light blue color motifs, wooden frame elements, and tribal feathers.
The Light Bowgun weapon class in Monster Hunter World is the smallest of the three available ranged weapons. It specializes in mobile ranged attacks, allowing hunters to swiftly dodge and reposition when necessary. It’s also capable of utilizing status inflicting rounds and boasts the highest fire rate of the available ranged weapons.
Aloy’s Stormslinger is only the first portion of this Monster Hunter World: Iceborne event themed after Horizon Zero Dawn. Iceborne is home to many different aesthetics and cosmetics, like craftable layered armor sets.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is out now on PS4 and Xbox One. MHW is set to release on PC in 2020.
