Monster Hunter Wilds players are using this despicable trick to pair with a second capture

If you are like me, a Monster Hunter Wilds' mission may take several minutes to complete. If you are trying to solve one of the Steel Monsters in the game, maybe more. However, some players are using cheeky tacky strategies to complete hunting missions in seconds. Their secret? Poison bomb.

It all relies on a tiny collision between player tools and open hunting designs. You will see that while walking through various areas, the monsters may be damaged by other entities that are not players. This includes poison, which may constantly damage monsters without the player's involvement. Therefore, triggering poison damage on monsters does not trigger hunting missions. This makes a lot of sense! Being pushed into a hunting mission is especially annoying, you don't want to be poisoned just because the monster is poisoned on the other side of the map.

However, the result of this design is that players can freely shoot one with poisonous bullets without triggering the mission. Even if the monster attacks you! As long as you don't hit the monster with anything else, you can fight the monster without the mission timer starting. Once you poison a monster so that they have very little HP, you can pull out another ammo type or weapon and start fighting for the real battle. This allows you to start a hunting mission and then kill the monsters in just a few seconds.

You can watch this in the video embedded above. This strategy makes players boast about ridiculous times. Please post this article, Twitter user Shincry posted a screenshot of Chatacabra killing time for about a second. They then link to a video of a hunter who fell in the arena and then let them sleep with sleep ammunition. They then dropped two tranq bombs to prepare the monster for capture, start hunting, and then dropped a shock trap to complete the mission immediately. Prosperity. Hunting in 1.53 seconds.

This doesn't really hurt anyone, if anything, it's a longer way to actually complete the task. Still, this is an interesting example of player creativity – try it yourself!
