when the monster seems to be injured,follow it,
some monster may be sleeping/rest
use shock trap/other trap
than tranquiliser bomb 2 times

you can capture a monster when their health is low. usually when their attacks are slower, or when they are drooling, or when they are sleeping. set a trap, lure them into it (or set a trap beside them when they are asleep), and throw two tranq bombs at the monster. be careful not to kill when you are doing a Cap Quest as it would end as Quest Failed

if you have Capture Guru skill (not sure whether they still call it that in mh3u), a paintballed monster will blink on the map (or change to white colour) indicating that it is capture-able.

when you are talking to the old man selling armor, you can view more info about the armor by pressing L/R. on the second page, they will indicate whether it's a Gunner or Blademaster armor

you can also sort to view only Blademaster or only Gunner armors (forgot which key)

Heads are interchangeable. the other pieces are specific for Blademaster/Gunner

drooling is a sign that their stamina is low. to cap - you need to get their health low. a sure sign that they are ready to be captured is when they are limping, or when they are sleeping. usually 2-3 tranqs is enough. if you throw 2 tranqs and nothing happen - means you need to deal more damage.

red box is for you to deliver goods. blue box is for you to retrieve supplies. stand in front of the blue box and press A to open, and press A again to take the item.

Edit: What juwels said. But i also thought u have to hit its head or nose area with tranq?

oh that box. same thing, stand in front, press A to open box. press A again to put in/take out item.

abit hard to know exactly when to trap...unless you have Capture Guru skill. Capture Guru skill will make a paintballed monster blink on the map when they are ready to be trapped.

edit : if it is limping, let it go to sleep. then place trap near him. throw 2 tranq and voila - success!
