What are Wounds?
A New System to Create Weaknesses
Wounds is a new system to create weak points on a monster's body. By repeatedly attacking the same part of the body, wounds are created as temporary weak spots, which hunters can attack to inflict heavy damage. This is different from the Wound system in World.
Attacking Wounds can Knock Down Monsters
If you attack a wound, it could be destroyed and the monsters can be knocked down, creating further opportunities to attack. A Focus Strike, which can be done by pressing R1 while in Focus Mode, can destroy it in a single strike.
