Rampage Guide
What is Rampage?
Rampage is a special quest type in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) that requires you to fend off hordes of monsters attacking Kamura Village.
Features
Rampage quests take place in arena-type strongholds. The objective of the quest is to repel waves of monsters to prevent them from destroying the stronghold’s main gates.
Rampage quests can be played with up to 4 other players. Each player will be able to bring either a Palico or Palamute during the quest as well.
Procedure
Each Rampage quest starts with a preparation period where you will be able to set-up installations such as ballistae, cannons, and bombs. When the preparation period is complete, the first horde of monsters will appear.
When the first wave has been repelled, another preparation period will commence before the next wave comes. Your performance fending off the hordes of monsters will allow you to level up your stronghold, enhancing the power of your installations and increasing the number you can have deployed.
Apex Monster
At certain intervals (usually after 3 waves), an Apex monster will appear. This is an incredibly powerful and dangerous monster that boasts high attack power and can quickly destroy the main gate if left unattended. Be sure to focus all attention to the Apex monster when it spawns.

Tips for Rampage Quests
Use defensive installations.
Defensive installations which can be set-up all around the base are incredibly powerful and should be used as often as possible during Rampage quests. Just make sure to take out monsters attacking installations whenever they appear to avoid losing too many of your artillery pieces.
When playing solo (offline), it is recommended to install many Auto installations as these are operated by NPCs during the quest.
Defeat monsters to raise the stronghold level.
Equipment found around the base is upgraded and the number of available installations you can deploy increases when the stronghold level rises.
Stronger monsters will begin to appear as you go through each wave during the Rampage so raising the stronghold level is a high priority.
Use Wiredash to move around.
Many of the pods where you can install or mount defensive installations are found on platforms. You can get to them quicker, especially during critical situations, by using Wiredash as often as you can during the quest.
Attack with weapons when the effects of the Counter Smoke and Counter Gong are active.
Your attack power rises significantly when the Counter Smoke and Counter Gong are activated. This is the cue to mount a powerful counterattack and press on the offense using your equipped weapon.
