If you're searching for another reason to enjoy the sunshine, Niantic's popular AR creature-battling game Monster Hunter Now has you covered. Summer Hunt 2025 is just ahead, starting on July 21 and continuing through August 3. We now have fresh details on what you can expect.
First, there's a range of new equipment and weapons to wield—and they're designed to work together. Acquire the Summer Blaster Heavy Bowgun and pair it with the Super Swimmer 2025 Armor. When equipped, this armor boosts reload speed, reduces recoil, and increases ammo capacity depending on how many pieces you wear.
The Super Swimmer armor set includes the Swimmer Goggles, Inflatable, and Flippers, each raising your fire-element attack power, which is further amplified during the event. And yes, these bonuses stack with your existing Fire Attack skill.

If you're mindful of your stats but still want to embrace the summer spirit, try the Summer Fun Layered Equipment to show off your holiday style. All these items can be obtained through limited-time event quests, allowing you to forge and upgrade event-exclusive weapons and gear. Additional quests also offer rewards such as Exchange Tokens, Medals, and Guild Card backgrounds.
You're going to want every advantage, because starting July 26, you can encounter the formidable Namielle in Elder Dragon Interceptions. That's in addition to extra content, a paid event, and plenty more appearances from your favorite monsters to hunt all summer long!
