The Slinger (Japanese スリンガー) is standard gear for hunters of the Research Commission. It resembles a small crossbow attached to the left arm, and can shoot a variety of items, such as stones, knives, ropes, and capture nets. From diversion tactics to creating shortcuts to triggering traps, the Slinger is a flexible tool.
Scoutflies (Japanese 導蟲) are also standard issue for Research Commission hunters. These glowing insects are kept in a cage on the hunter's belt, and can pick up particular scents or substances, allowing them to track monsters or highlight useful items in the environment.[3
