Monster Hunter Wilds' beta test is now live for PS Plus subscribers on PS5, and fans have uncovered an arachnophobia mode – an optional setting for those who don't fancy seeing spiders and creepy crawlies in their action RPG, which transforms bugs into something very different.
As highlighted on Twitter, the Arachnophobia Assistance toggle "adjusts the appearance of multi-legged creatures such as arachnids, insect-like small monsters, and endemic life" without altering their movements or actual difficulty. What does that look like? Slimy, apparently. Bug-like creatures become piles of goo, which still crawl around like they have legs, just… stretchy, tentacle-like ones. You can take a look at the setting in action below.
