Unlike many RPGs where character stats 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 Max Hunter Rank (HR)
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no HR cap. You can continuously increase your HR as you progress through the game, similar to previous series installments.
Reaching every tenth rank yields a small reward, incentivizing progression. However, once you've completed all High Rank missions, further HR increases primarily serve as 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 story, only main missions contribute to HR increases; side quests won't affect your rank.
This is crucial, as your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt online, preventing you from being left behind, especially when playing with friends.
After reaching High Rank, new missions unlock as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Focusing on these provides the fastest route to higher HR.
