Niantic and YouTube superstar MrBeast—yes, the one and only Jimmy Donaldson—are teaming up for an epic summer adventure in Monster Hunter Now. Starting July 27th, players can embark on a limited-time, MrBeast-themed quest line that rewards exclusive gear, including a one-of-a-kind Sword & Shield weapon. This collaboration isn’t just for show—it’s packed with meaningful content, fun challenges, and rewards you won’t find anywhere else.

What’s in the Monster Hunter Now x MrBeast Event?

MrBeast is genuinely excited about this collab—he’s been hands-on with the development and even shared how much he’s enjoying the experience. To kick things off, Niantic released a high-energy live-action trailer titled “Hunt Anywhere,” featuring MrBeast himself. It’s a must-watch for fans of the game or the creator.

The event runs from July 27 to September 2, giving you over a month to complete all objectives and collect every reward. Here's what you can earn:

• MrBeast Layered Equipment (stylish and functional)
• Exclusive face paint for your hunter
• A custom Guild Card Background
• A special Hunter Medal
• Season Tier Points, Zenny, and Rare Monster materials

But the crown jewel? The MrBeast Sword & Shield. This unique weapon starts at Grade 1, and you can upgrade it to Grade 6 by collecting MrBeast Briefcases during the event. Want to go beyond Grade 6? Use standard crafting materials to push it even further—perfect for hunters aiming to maximize their build.

A Major Update: Introducing Dimensional Link

Alongside the collab, Niantic is rolling out a major update featuring Dimensional Link—a game-changing feature that connects hunters worldwide. Now, you can team up with players from any region, making co-op hunting more accessible than ever.

How does it work? Special monsters will appear on your map marked with an upside-down green triangle. Tap one to join a global lobby and battle alongside hunters from across the globe. While Paintball functionality isn’t available for these encounters, the ability to join dynamic, real-time hunts—especially if you're in a low-population area—is a huge win for the community.
