Arguably the coolest contest we’ve ever run in this company (at least I think so!), the #HowDoYouHunt contest finally has a winner!

First of all, I want to thank everyone for participating (including Gaijinhunter, who was not even eligible to win!). And I must say it was incredibly hard to narrow the lenghty list of awesome entries down to just a Top 10; never mind selecting a winner. This was harder than any G Rank I’ve ever had to do!

I even recruited help from people from various departments here, making sure they had worked on and played at least 2  Monster Hunter  titles. They also complained it was extremely hard to pick winner!

All that is to say: great job, everyone!

Now here’s the Top 10 entries and our winner:

YankeeBankee – Rinforzato, Hunting Horn

Keihkono – Teostra’s Emblem, Sword and Shield

scoutstiel – Doomblade “Slave”, Long Sword

ShaolinHammer – Imperial Gunhammer, Hammer

ChocoDotori – Permanence, Charge Blade

itsavgbltpta – Lunatic Rose, Sword and Shield

Shawn_1995 – Epitaph Eternal, Great Sword

So that’s 7 entries so far, in no particular order, and I hope you can agree with me that any of these could have taken the top prize… however, these next few entries netted out with the most votes from our internal panel of judges; so here’s our Top 3, including the winner:

3RD

YukiLilyyy – Daora’s Entom, Insect Glaive

2ND

Hakuramen – Akantor Bow, Bow

GRAND PRIZE:

VengefulTorture – Dual Dragons “Angst”, Dual Blades

Well played, sir; you win a life-size replica of the Dual Dragons “Angst”!

Again, thanks to everyone who participated and made this an awesome contest! I definitely had a lot of fun reviewing each individual entry and I’ve actually read a lot of entrants say they had fun making their video entries. So there: the contest is over, but if you feel like making your own video telling everyone #HowDoYouHunt, why not?
