In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't level up in the traditional sense, understanding the Hunter Rank (HR) system is crucial for your progression. Let's dive into the details about the maximum Hunter Rank and how to boost it.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
As of now, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a maximum Hunter Rank or an HR cap. Similar to its predecessors, you can continuously increase your Hunter Rank as you engage with the game. Every 10 Ranks, you'll receive a small reward, making it worthwhile to push your HR as high as possible. However, once you've completed all your High Rank missions, further grinding might only be for the sake of bragging rights.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions. While you're progressing through the story, only these missions will boost your HR; optional side quests won't contribute to it. This is important because your HR impacts the types of monsters you can hunt online, ensuring you stay competitive, especially when playing with friends.
Once you reach the High Rank missions, new ones will unlock as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Keep your focus on these if you're looking to increase your HR quickly.
And that's the complete guide to understanding the maximum Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and how to increase it. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
