✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 586 endorsements and over 18k downloads.
- Adds a cool lightning effect to one of the flashiest moves in the game.
- Simple cosmetic swap for players who want a different look for Zinogre's longsword.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one weapon, so if you don't use Zinogre's longsword, this mod does nothing for you.
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest game updates or DLC.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same weapon model or effects.
For Monster Hunter World players who main the longsword and want a visual upgrade for Zinogre's weapon. If you're looking for gameplay changes or new weapons, this isn't for you—it's purely cosmetic.
