Help the Less Experienced Hunters
Considering that players will have to complete the main story of the base game before jumping into the master rank quests that Iceborne has to offer, there will be tons of players out there that will need help.
You can expect for a lot of SOS signals to be shot out, with hunters seeking assistance.
After beating Iceborne, there’s actually some incentive to go help out the less-experienced thanks to Pendants, a new feature in the expansion.
Pendants are simply cosmetic items that can be attached to your weapon to give it some flair and to show off to others online, and a lot of these pendants are awarded for answering low rank and high rank SOS flares.
So, if you’re a completionist and down for volunteer work, answering low-level flares will both help you out and the hunter that you’re helping out.
