In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't level up and gain stat boosts like in most other RPGs, there's still an important leveling system you need to master: the Hunter Rank (HR). Here's a detailed guide on the maximum Hunter Rank and how to elevate it.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
As of now, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not impose a maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap. Similar to its predecessors in the series, you can continue to increase your Hunter Rank indefinitely. Every time you ascend 10 Ranks, you'll receive a modest reward, incentivizing you to push your HR to new heights. However, once you've conquered all High Rank missions, further grinding your HR might only serve your pride, as there's no additional gameplay benefit beyond that point.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is refreshingly straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions. During the story segment of the game, advancing your HR hinges on successfully clearing these key missions. Note that optional side quests won't contribute to your HR progression.
Your Hunter Rank plays a crucial role in determining which monsters you can hunt in online play. Staying on par with your friends is essential, so don't lag behind. As you transition into High Rank missions, new challenges will emerge as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Concentrate on these to quickly boost your HR.
