The Monster Hunter Now March 7 patch notes have been released by Niantic, so here’s everything we know about the latest additions and adjustments coming to the game.
The Monster Hunter Now March 7 patch notes are live and Niantic has added several QoF additions and adjustments. Headlining the update is the increase in loadout expansions, which enables Hunters to register more equipment sets.
There are also distance changes to Hunt-a-thons that aim to make joining other players much easier. If that wasn’t enough, Niantic has even made adjustments to the game’s Palico Paintballs. So, if you want to get the lowdown on all the latest changes in the game, then our Monster Hunter Now patch notes have outlined all the latest developments.
Main features adjusted or changed
Niantic has released patch notes for the Monster Hunter Now March 7 update, which can be found in the list outlined below:
- Up to 10 Loadouts can now be registered. The UI of Loadout will be improved in the next update.
- The recruitment range for “Join Hunt!” in Hunt-a-thons has been expanded. Even if you are a certain distance away from a Hunt-a-thon point, you can join the Hunt-a-thon through the recruitment of “Join Hunt!”
“Join Hunt!” recruitments for Hunt-a-thons will be sent automatically to nearby hunters when entering the lobby for the first monster of the Hunt-a-thon.
Note: After joining from a position away from the Hunt-a-thon point through “Join Hunt!”, you can continue hunting as long as you keep hunting consecutively. However, if you return to the Main Screen, you will need to approach the corresponding Hunt-a-thon point to join again.
- We’ve made changes to what Palico marks. While the app is running, your Palico will no longer mark the large monsters in the field on the Main Screen.
Note: When the conditions are met, your Palico will mark monsters that are different from the ones appearing in the field.

Palico will mark one of the large monsters that are discovered in the Habitat based on the unlocked Star level when following conditions are met:
- “Adventure Sync” is enabled.
- Walk a certain distance.
- Not in the middle of hunting a large monster.
With this change, large monsters that you were about to hunt will no longer be marked by the Palico, ensuring they remain available for hunting on the field.
While the Palico may mark a monster of the same species as the ones currently spawned on the screen, monsters appearing within the access circle or on the Main Screen will not be marked and removed from view into the Paintball List.
- Some of the gameplay restrictions have been relaxed in cases where obtaining location information is challenging.
Future plans
- The timing for the Hunt-a-thon has been changed again. Starting from March 9, Hunt-a-thons will start every hour around the 15 minute mark or every hour around the 45-minute mark, instead of exclusively at around every 15 minute mark as was the case since February 23. We appreciate the numerous feedback received on this matter.
