Apex Challenge

Apex Challenge is a hunting event in Monster Hunter Outlanders. The Ruger Aidal challenge opens on November 7, 2026 and runs until the end of Season 0.

Entry conditions

For the launch-period adjustment to Apex Challenge Order storage, see November 2026 Updates.

Entry also requires 10 days of play.

Difficulties and Rewards

Normal, Veteran, and Apex difficulties offer increasing Radiant Material rewards. Veteran and Apex require the monster's Apex Weapon to be unlocked.

First-clear Radiant Materials are free. Later reward claims consume Apex Challenge Orders. Unlocking Normal grants three Orders; three replenish every Friday at 05:00 server time. Orders clear at season end.

Use Radiant Materials to forge Apex Weapons.
