A core appeal of Monster Hunter is the structure. You pick the monster you want to hunt, get all your gear ready, gather up a team, eat your meal, and head out. That has been the standard across just about every Monster Hunter Game. UntilMonster Hunter Wilds. Pop-Up Camps change the game quite dramatically.

No more running to the hub between hunts, and having to pick out a hunt from a list. Run out into the world and find those monster yourself, and rest at any camp you find along the way. And when it comes to the Windward Plains, there are quite a few Pop-Up Camps for you to find.

What Are Pop-Up Camps?

Pop-Up Camps are, for all intents and purposes,the same as your own tent back at Base Campin each region. you may start quests, change your equipment, restock your items, and pretty much everything else. The only major thing you miss out on are the helpful NPCs at Base Camp, like Gemma or the Provisions Stockpile.

There aretwo ways of setting up a Pop-Up Camp, which are as follow:

Mind you, if your camp slots are full in a region, youcan only reset them by returning to Base Camp.

While Pop-Up Camps are incredibly handy, they come with their own risks.Any monster that comes across them will almost definitely destroy them, at which point you have to either wait for them to be repaired automatically, or pay some Guild Points to have it repaired immediately.
