Turf Wars are a special mechanic introduced in Monter Hunter World, then further expanded upon with every new iteration of the game. It has returned in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and is bigger than ever. In essence, Turf Wars means that when two big monsters meet out in the world, they might fight in a cinematic battle, during which one or both of the monstrous participants might take sizeable damage, or drop an item; or both.

I have been into gaming since the days of Sega Mega Drive and Amiga. Over the years in gaming, I have raided at a high level, completed rare achievements, coached other players, and written about games since 2016. Whether it’s been clicking heads; developing cities, colonies, and empires; or commanding parties of adventurers; I’ve always prided myself on being able to understand the underlying mechanics of games. Outside of gaming, I enjoy a variety of activities and hobbies, including playing with my pup Astra, working out, as well as crafting, painting, and leatherwork.
