Unlike many RPGs where character stats increase with levels, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a Hunter Rank (HR) system that works differently. This guide explains the maximum Hunter Rank and how to increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no maximum Hunter Rank. You can continuously increase your HR as you progress. Reaching every tenth rank yields a small reward, providing incentive to keep pushing. However, after completing all High Rank missions, further HR increases are primarily for bragging rights.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Raising your HR in Monster Hunter Wilds is simple: complete main story missions. During the story, only main missions increase your HR; side quests won't affect it. This is crucial for online play, as your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt, preventing you from being left behind in group hunts.
Once you reach High Rank, new missions unlock as you defeat standard and Tempered monsters. Focusing on these missions is the fastest way to boost your HR.
That’s all you need to know about reaching the maximum (non-existent!) Hunter Rank and leveling up in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more game tips and guides, check out The Escapist.
