In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't gain traditional stat boosts as in other RPGs, understanding the leveling system, specifically the Hunter Rank (HR), is crucial for your gameplay experience. Here's a comprehensive guide on the maximum Hunter Rank and how to increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
As of the latest updates, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a maximum Hunter Rank or an HR cap. Similar to its predecessors in the series, you can continuously increase your Hunter Rank through gameplay. Every 10 ranks, you'll receive a small reward, incentivizing you to push your HR as high as possible. However, once you've completed all High Rank missions, further grinding your HR might only serve as a point of pride rather than a necessity.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions, as these are the key to raising your HR. During the story portion of the game, only the main missions will contribute to your rank increase; optional side quests will not affect it.
Your Hunter Rank is significant because it determines which monsters you can hunt in online play. Staying up-to-date with your HR is essential, especially if you're playing with friends, to ensure you're not left behind.
Once you reach the High Rank missions, new missions will become available as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Concentrating on these will help you increase your HR quickly.
