Event-exclusive equipment up for grabs

Monster Hunter Now will soon welcome the legendary elder dragon Kirin this Lunar New Year
  • Lunar New Year-themed packs available
  • Exclusive gear making a comeback from last year
  • Grab the dragon-element light bowgun

Niantic is joining in on all the festivities of the Lunar New Year within Monster Hunter Now, putting event-exclusive gear up for grabs for lucky hunters. This means that the legendary elder dragon Kirin is joining the fray once February kicks off, along with exclusive equipment making a comeback from 2024 as well. 

With the arrival of the fearsome dragon also comes a dragon-element light bowgun, so if you're worried about going up against Kirin, fret not. And if anything, it seems you can always buff up your chances of success with exclusive Lunar New Year-themed packs too - this includes layered equipment for sale, because the new year means new swag, right?

Specifically, the latest event within Monster Hunter Now will run until February 2nd, so during this time, you can get your hands on the Lucky Dragon Hammer, Fortune Dragon Fans, and Dragon Dance Mask if you missed your chance last year. If you have enough might and mettle to take down Gold Rathian, Pink Rathian, or Banbaro, you can also earn Tickets for the Lucky Light Bowgun, Lucky Dragon Hammer, and Fortune Dragon Fans.
