Once you get deeper in, you can fine-tune your armor with cores that are essentially modifiers that allow you to create your perfect build. Defeating behemoths, and breaking off pieces of them in battle will earn you currency and parts to construct new weapons and armor that you can create through vendors in the game’s hub town, Ramsford. It’s a tried and true system that isn’t any less satisfying in Dauntless as it is in any other game that does the same thing, so no complaints here. The gameplay outside of combat is very familiar to Monster Hunter or any other similar game. In all of the times I’ve got to play Dauntless under ideal circumstances, the game ran great, and it’s running just fine for us now too. And either way, seeing what happens with a heavier load of players is kind of the point of an open beta anyway, so it’s not something we’re too concerned about. There have been some reports of poor frame rate, but we personally haven’t experienced anything too out of the ordinary outside of the occasional spike. Performance wise, the game has been stable for us. This ebb and flow in combat works, which is great to see for a game that hangs its hat almost exclusively on its combat being enjoyable.
Behemoths can strike back and go berserk, which allows them to use new more powerful attacks and will put all but the most experienced players on the defensive for a period of time.

Focusing on individual survival is the most basic way to play, but ideally, certain party members are trying to break parts of the monster off (which reduce the behemoth’s effectiveness) while others are trying to deal heavy damage to stagger the behemoth, and provide windows of opportunity to unleash powerful combos. In the game’s more difficult hunts, though, you’ll want to coordinate who is using what weapon (as each has different advantages and functions as classes in a way), and what the plan will be to bring the behemoth down. In the early hunts, you can effectively power through and bring down everything easily with zero strategy and minimal effort (like not intentionally eating every attack).
