Monster Hunter Now: How to use referral codes

Monster Hunter Now referral codes are a great way for new and existing players to earn useful freebies for their hunts. When you start the latest game from Pokemon Go makers Niantic, you're given the option to enter a referral code after you create your character.

However, you may be a bit confused by what exactly is a referral code, and why you should enter one in. If you're struggling to understand how referral codes work in Monster Hunter Now then we're here to help. We'll explain what exactly is a referral code, how to get one and why you should redeem a code when creating a character.

What is a Monster Hunter Now referral code?

Referral codes are essentially invite codes that existing Monster Hunter Now players can send to new players. If it is entered at the start of a game, both the new and existing players are sent in-game rewards.

When a Monster Hunter referral is successful, and the new player has reached Hunter Rank 6, the exisiting player gets rewarded with:

• Three Paintballs
• Five Potions
• 00 Zenny

And the new player gets:

• Two Paintballs
• Three Potions
• 1,000 Zenny

The more people you invite that join Monster Hunter Now, the more rewards you'll earn. There is a maximum amount of times a code issues rewards each month though. The first 20 successful redemptions each month will hand out rewards, after that you'll have to wait till the start of the next month for referral codes to award goodies again.

How do you enter a referral code in Monster Hunter Now?

A referral code must be entered at the start of the game. After creating your character and choosing your hunter's name, a menu will pop up asking 'Do you have a referral code?' If you have one, select 'Yes'.

This will open up another menu with a textbox. Simply type in the referral code and then select the 'Submit' button.

A notification will then appear on screen, letting you know the rewards will be handed out once you hit Hunter Rank 6, and that the inviting player will receive rewards then too.
