Use Clutch Claw To Grab Onto Monsters
You can fire the Clutch Claw the same way as you do Slinger Ammo but instead you'll grab onto the monster with the claw. Grabbing onto a monster consumes staming but you can do special Clutch Claw attacks or steer mounted monsters.
How To Use & What You Can Do
Do Clutch Claw Attacks That Soften Monster Hide
When you grab onto a monster, you can unleash special Clutch Claw attacks that soften that monster's hide for a few moments. Hitting that spot will deal extra damage and is useful in breaking monster parts.
