Unlike many RPGs where character stats directly improve with levels, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a Hunter Rank (HR) system that operates differently. This guide explains the current state of the maximum HR and how to increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Understanding the Max Hunter Rank
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no set maximum Hunter Rank. You can continuously increase your HR as you progress through the game, similar to previous titles in the series.
Reaching certain HR milestones (every 10 ranks) grants small rewards, incentivizing progression. However, after completing all High Rank missions, further HR increases primarily serve as a bragging point, offering minimal additional gameplay benefits.
How to Increase Your Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds
Raising your HR in Monster Hunter Wilds is straightforward: complete main story missions. During the story portion of the game, only main missions contribute to HR increases; side quests won't affect your rank.
Your HR directly impacts online multiplayer, dictating which monsters you can hunt. Maintaining a competitive HR is crucial for group play.
Once you transition to High Rank missions, new challenges—including Tempered monsters—will unlock as you progress, providing a steady path to increased HR.
That's all you need to know about reaching the maximum Hunter Rank (or lack thereof) and leveling up in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more *Monster Hunter Wilds* guides and tips, check out The Escapist!
