How to Reach Hunter Rank (HR) 100

Forge a Water Artian Heavy Bowgun

The first step is to forge a Water Heavy Bowgun using Rarity 8 Artian parts. You don't need to worry about not having Affinity or Ammo Capacity related buffs from the Production or Reinforcement Bonus.

Get Parts from Tempered Monster Hunts or Melding

If you don't have enough Rarity 8 Artian Parts, you can clear Field Surveys of Tempered Monsters such as Apex Monsters and Arkveld, or collect parts by Melding. Melding is efficient because you can get up to 15 Parts without hunting monsters by using the Gold Relic Ticket.

Forge the Necessary Equipment

Equipment that are relatively easy to forge.

Once you've made the Water Artian Heavy Bowgun, you can start working on the armor. Please refer to the above as sample equipment using armor pieces and decorations you can easily get.

Add Useful Skills with Decorations

*Decorations for single skills have been added below. You can substitute them if you have decorations with multiple skills instead.

The time it takes to finish the hunt will be further reduced if you use Decorations to attach skills like Earplugs or further increase your damage. You don't have to go out of your way to get them, but if you have them it's a good idea to use them.

Start the "Armor Like a Mountain" in Area 14

Take the Optional Quest “Armor Like a Mountain” and start at the Pop-Up Camp in Area 14. If you have not set up a Pop-Up Camp yet in this Area, set it up first and then start the Quest.

Shoot Water Ammo at Gravios until it Collapses.

Gravios is just outside the camp, so start shooting Water Ammo at it. The belly is its weak point, so you can deal more damage if you aim near the middle. If you can keep staggering it, you can kill him without getting hit.

Repeat until Hunter Rank Reaches 100

Once you have defeated Gravios repeat the process of taking the same Optional Quest and defeating Gravios until your Hunter rank reaches 100.
