Finally a Use for Binoculars in Monster Hunter World

In Monster Hunter World, the binoculars are arguably one of the most pointless items, especially with all of the information that the map provides. Even still. enough creativity and ingenuity will find some kind of use for anything. For instance, one player has discovered their own reason to keep the binocculars around: to straight up disrespect any monster that happens to fall prey to a clever trap.

It should be mentioned hunting with this method is not efficient when it comes to gathering materials, mostly because one is too far away to gather material carves off of it. For those unaware of what’s going on, our hunter Ozzytactics puts down two mega barrel bombs, which explode when broken by an attack or another explosive. The traps laid down next are wyvern blasts that are unique to light bowguns, which can have up to three charges. These powerful spikes explode when something triggers them like a monster swinging into them, although it’s pretty easy to shoot them for more explosions when close quarters.

Of course, poor rock-loving Kulu-Ya-Ku just happened to be headed that way and was apparently weak enough for a straight knock out. It’s noted in the description of the video that the entire endeavor is all based on timing, due to the wyvern blasts going off after 60 seconds and not on the proximity of the monster.

Resource gathering aside, taking out the Kulu-Ya-Ku like this is absolutely hilarious and maybe even a bit overkill. Leave it to the openness of Monster Hunter World’s systems to allow for players to get creative on how they take down these beasts. This is why the community continues to be fun to keep an eye on, despite a lack of player-vs-player content that leads to most entertaining gaming highlights. 

Now let’s see someone do this to Deviljho when that DLC drops. In the meantime, check out this look at how Monster Hunter: World transcended the barriers of its predacessors to become the fastest selling game in the series.
