In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't level up in the traditional RPG sense, there's an essential leveling system you should get acquainted with: the Hunter Rank (HR). Here’s everything you need to know about the maximum Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and how to increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
As of now, there is no maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Similar to its predecessors, you can continuously increase your Hunter Rank through gameplay. Each time you advance by 10 ranks, you'll receive a small reward, incentivizing you to push your HR as high as possible. However, after completing all High Rank missions, further grinding for HR might only serve for bragging rights rather than tangible benefits.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions. During the story portion of the game, only these missions will contribute to raising your HR—optional side quests won't affect it. This is crucial because your HR influences which monsters you can hunt in online play, ensuring you're not left behind, especially if you're playing with friends.
Once you transition to High Rank missions, new challenges will emerge as you tackle new and Tempered monsters. Concentrate on these to boost your HR quickly.
That covers the essentials of the maximum Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and how to enhance it. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
