On PC, Dauntless will be launching exclusively on the Epic Games Store, which continues to snap up titles left and right. The launch day will also usher in a giant update that reworks Dauntless' customization, crafting, and progression systems from the Early Access and beta versions.

The beasties you'll track and exterminate are called Behemoths, which take the form of hulking owlbears, fire-belching lizards, and much more. I'd argue not building Predator since you can get some decent work off if you can utilize Resolve (which doesn't actually protect you from the damage, so Pred deactivates if you do get hit even with Resolve).If you've played Monster Hunter World, you should have a good idea of what to expect: hunts best enjoyed in co-op, weapons with distinct playstyles, giant enemies to take down, and rewards that let you craft increasingly powerful (and fancy) armor. And it's always fun (and incredibly safe and effective) to heal basically to half in one Grim Onslaught throw if you do find yourself in a bit of a pickle.ĭON'T build Berserker since you have an extremely slow attack progression. Iceborne is really nice if you can get Resolve down, since you can get chunked for a decent amount of health, not get staggered, and immediately follow up with a massive heal. Basically just do what you would with every other weapon and pump (general) damage and attack speed. Definitely go attack speed ( Conduit with Embermane Lantern, maybe Evasive Fury or Wild Frenzy). Really decent for Escalation in particular, but can be nice just to turn off your mind in patrols.Īs for general purpose cells, Axe can do massive work with part-breaking and staggering due to the sheer amount of power in each swing, so Overpower is nice to augment that. Plus you have a neat and aesthetically pleasing distribution of perks (all +6's except for one +3 Discipline). Not the best for potential DPS, not the most skillful loadout, but it does some decent work, and you don't really need to put too much mind power into running it, since Skullforge basically gives infinite stamina, and Iceborne basically gives infinite health.
