Unlocking the Master Hunter Rank is a top priority in 2026 for Dota 2 teams. The New Year celebrations are in full swing as players compete online to gain experience. You can unlock a wide range of cosmetic upgrades for Dota 2 heroes including Sniper, Beastmaster, Techies, Anti-Mage, and Dragon Knight. These items can be claimed by taking part in the Dota x Monster Hunter crossover event that is being held till February 6, 2026.
Each match you play during the Dota x Monster Hunter event provides upto 300 XP for a loss and 800 XP for a win. Players can earn a Rookie, Low, High, and Master Hunter Rank by defeating their enemies in Dota 2. New sprays, emoticons, and crafting material are a few of the rewards you can receive for unlocking Hunter Ranks with your party members.
Dragon sightings are scenic
Dragons from the Monster Hunter series of games can be seen flying around the map. These magnificent creatures grace your screens at the start of every match. You’ll be surprised at the number of dragons that have agreed to appear in Dota 2. Here’s a closer look at the dragon greeting Razor, the Lightning Revenant, in his base.
Razor goes on to get his first kill with his ally, Viper. Make the early moments count to increase your gold per minute (GPM) to buy items faster in your matches. If you missed any of the dragon sightings from the Dota x Monster Hunter event, you can collect Wisdom runes or beat Roshan to summon dragons while listening to Dota Dreams.
Choose easy Hunt Targets for a Master Hunter Rank
You can choose a Hunt Target from 3 enemy heroes before Dota matches begin. Once a Hunt Target is assigned to you, gamers can eliminate their enemies to earn bonus crafting materials. Monster Essence, Monster Claws, Zinogre Cortex, and Rathalos Tail are among the crafting materials available in the game.
Common crafting materials and Uncommon crafting materials can be obtained by reaching the Rookie and Low Hunter Ranks. You can combine these crafting materials to get the Garon Rifle for Sniper and the Imperium Heat Edge Sword for Dragon Knight.

The Prismatic Odogaron set for Sniper is one of the best skins you can unlock with a Master Hunter Rank. The glowing green ornaments for Sniper can turn the Agility hero into a sharpshooter for the mid lane. His red hat and rifle from the Prismatic Odogaron set are 2 of the hardest items to craft for beginners, giving seasoned professionals an advantage in team fights and esports tournaments.
Master Hunter Rank provides Super Rare crafting materials. A Palico Voucher, Poogie Voucher, and Prismatic Pigment are Super Rare items that can be used to get Sticker Capsules during the Dota x Monster Hunter event. It can also be used to craft new skins for the Palico courier and the super cute Poogie Effigy Pet.
