Unlike many RPGs where character stats directly improve with leveling, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a unique Hunter Rank (HR) system. This guide explains the maximum HR and how to increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Understanding the Max Hunter Rank
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no maximum Hunter Rank. Unlike previous games, there's no HR cap; you can continuously increase your rank as you progress. While you receive a small reward every 10 ranks, there's no inherent gameplay advantage beyond a certain point. Once you've completed all High Rank missions, further HR increases are primarily for bragging rights.
How to Increase Your Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds
Raising your HR in Monster Hunter Wilds is simple: complete main story missions. During the main story, only completing main missions increases your HR; optional side quests won't affect it. This is crucial for online play, as your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt with others. Avoid falling behind your friends!
After reaching High Rank, new missions unlock as you defeat standard and Tempered monsters. Focus on these to quickly increase your HR.
