Blur-Be-Gone
One of the most annoying aspects not only on MHW but on all games with the motion blur. It’s irritating and takes away all the gains of graphics. In MHW, it’s slightly worse and even results in motion sickness sometimes. It’s hard to disable it in the game, but with Blur-be-gone, you can disable the motion blur and even vignetting effect caused by the depth of filed.
But there's a catch! You can only use the blur-be-gone mod with Kaldaien's Special K Pack, which is another neat mod that we will cover next.
Kaldaien’s Special K Performance Pack
One of the downsides of running MHW is its high appetite for CPU performance. It can easily take a toll on most gaming rigs. To fix that, the Special K performance mod was invented. It's a highly effective mod that helps to cut down on CPU usage particularly for lower-end machines.
Other than reducing demand on the CPU, the mod also helps to enhance re-shade options and it also helps to fix some full-screen problems.
Despite the several patches that have improved the performance of the game, this mod remains a must-have. It also happens to be one of the best performance mods in the market.
All Items in Shop
This is more of cheating than mod. But it does make life as a Monster Hunter easier and more productive. The game is all about slaying monsters, and getting parts to improve your itinerary. As with most games, you will rarely have everything you need to get the best armour and that’s where things start to get a little frustrating.
With the ‘All Items’ in the shop, you have most of the materials and decorations to the in-game shop. You only need to have the money to have the tools you need.
You still have to go through plenty of hunting to scour the money so, it’s best to save up this mode when things are not going your way.
With so many interconnected systems, Monster Hunter World has a litany of mods that you can choose from. You can't have them all, so you need to pick the ones that have the most impact for your gaming style. You have everything from mods that give you an edge in the game to improving graphics and working on that irritating blur. All you have to do is take your pick.
You will need a good gaming PC to keep up with your customised gaming and mods. Luckily here at Fierce PC, we have a wide variety of high-end gaming PCs for you.
