You can no longer nuke Hirabami with endless flying boulders in Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster Hunter Wilds has a new update that makes copious little and large changes to the popular animal-hitting sim. As often with PC game patch notes, the changelog is a balance of mealy fare such as fixes for broken weapons, and moments of absurdity, such as addressing a problem whereby you'd hack the tail off an Ajarakan only for it to transform into another monster's appendage.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a major hit, and it's also kind of a mess: It put up nearly 1.4 million concurrent players on Steam alone on launch day, a massive jump over Monster Hunter: World's peak of 334,684, and rocketed to eight million copies sold in just three days—the fastest game to hit that mark in Capcom history. It also has a rather ugly "mixed" rating on Steam, where only 60% of the user reviews are positive...
