Capcom and Niantic have announced that the Monster Hunter Now Spring Festival 2026 will start on April 27. The event will continue in two phases until May 10.
Part 1 of the event will start on April 27 and last until May 4. Part 2 will start on May 4 and last until May 10. During the event, you can unlock an exclusive Light Bowgun weapon known as the Rose Assault. You can also get a Garden Gnome equipment, alongside the new weapon, by challenging both Elder Dragons and large monsters alike. Some of the Elder Dragons you can fight include Namielle, Malzeno, Kirin, and Kushala Daora. A blog post outlines the new weapon:
Rose Assault is a non-elemental light bowgun that comes with the skill Critical Ferocity unlocked from the moment it is forged. Critical Ferocity grants a chance of increasing negative affinity damage! What’s more, the Rose Assault itself also has negative affinity, giving you more opportunities to activate this skill. Since Critical Ferocity is built into the weapon from the start, Rose Assault can deal strong damage even on its own. It’s an easy-to-use weapon that also serves as a great introduction to Critical Ferocity equipment for hunters who don’t yet have the necessary armor.
If you want to aim for even higher damage, check the recommended loadouts in-game and try adding armor with Critical Ferocity to increase the skill’s level. And once you progress its style customization, the Rose Assault can truly come into its own!
Lastly, Monster Hunter Now is available now for Android and iOS.
