Two new systems were revealed for MHXX: Today's Survey Target (Japanese 本日の調査対象) and Limit Breaking (Japanese 限界突破).

Today's Survey Target
 * This system allows for hunters to get more materials and rewards for hunting down a particular monster, making it easier for hunters to gain some items they need easier.
 * Useful for Low, High, and G-rank Hunters.
 * It changes twice in a single day.
 * Certain details about the quests are shown on the quest board and counter.

Limit Breaking
 * Limiting Breaking allows for hunters further upgrade weapons and armor beyond their usual final level, such as a maxed out LV5 Longsword, helping hunters out during higher rank quests, including in G-rank.
 * Note that not all armor can be further upgraded using the limiting breaking system.
 * G-rank Hunters can also make some weapons that are already at a certain level instantly.
