New Heavy Bowgun Silkbind Attacks and Switch Skills

Discover the new Heavy Bowgun Silkbind Attacks and Switch Skills in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak! Learn about Setting Sun and Crouching Shot to dominate your hunts.

Alright, let's dive into the new toys for the Heavy Bowgun in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak! These new moves can really change up your playstyle, so you'll want to get a handle on them.

New Silkbind Attack: Setting Sun

First up is a new Silkbind Attack called Setting Sun. Basically, you'll conjure this Ironsilk ring in front of you. When your ammo passes through it, it gets a little slower. Now, here's the cool part: if you're using piercing or multi-hit ammo, shooting through this ring will actually boost the number of times your hits connect. Think of it as a little multiplier for those sustained damage shots!

New Switch Skill: Crouching Shot

Next, we've got a Switch Skill called Crouching Shot. This one changes your stance, rooting you to the spot – you won't be able to move at all while in this pose. But what do you get in return? Your recoil is significantly reduced, and you can fire off shots much faster, almost in rapid succession. Just be super careful not to let your gun overheat, because you'll be stuck waiting for it to cool down before you can fire again. Also, keep in mind this stance only works with certain types of ammo, so you'll need to pay attention to what you've got loaded.

Switch Skill Swap

This isn't exactly a brand-new skill, but it's a massive change to how you use them! The Switch Skill Swap lets you change your equipped skills mid-battle. You get two scrolls, a red one and a blue one. You can set up your favorite skills on each scroll at an Item Box, either back at the hub or in your tent during a quest. This system looks like it's going to totally shake up how we play Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

When you're in the thick of a fight, you can swap between these sets to access your other skills. And as a neat bonus, there's the Swap Evade. After you swap sets, you can press the roll button to perform an evade in any direction. It's a really fluid way to reposition yourself after a skill switch.
