The clutch claw is an extension of the slinger, allowing you to grapple onto monsters using a sharp, claw-shaped hook. When clinging onto a monster, new maneuvers become available, such as controlling the monster's movement.
New Tool: The Clutch Claw
New Combos and Mechanics for Every Weapon Type
You can now use the slinger while your weapon is unsheathed, regardless of the weapon type!
This allows for a broader range of moves for every weapon.
A New Mode of Transport: Raider Ride!
Raider Ride lets you use small monster tailraiders as a mode of transportation.
Whistle to call a tailraider, and then get ready to ride!
Pin your destination on the wildlife map and you'll be taken there automatically. If you don't pin a destination, your raider ride will try to find tracks, so you can track a target while prepping for a hunt.
While on a raider ride, you can gather, use items and your slinger, open your wildlife map, as well as other specific actions.
You cannot control the monster directly.
