On the official Monster Hunter Now website, players can pre-register for the iOS and Android mobile games. In exchange, users will receive in-game benefits that increase in value based on how many people pre-register. Everyone will receive ten potions and three paintballs if 500,000 people join up.
Paintballs mark monsters you encounter while traveling so you can hunt them later at home. Everyone receives 10,000 Zenny and a 1,000-slot inventory expansion if 5 million people sign up; this is a lot of room for your monster parts.
