Max Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds: Tips to Increase

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't level up with stat boosts like traditional RPGs, there's an essential leveling system you should get acquainted with: the Hunter Rank (HR). Here's what you need to know about the maximum Hunter Rank and how to increase it in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained

At the time of writing, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap. Similar to previous games in the series, your Hunter Rank can continuously increase as you progress through the game. It's beneficial to keep pushing your HR higher, as you'll receive small rewards every 10 ranks. However, once you've completed all your High Rank missions, grinding for HR might only serve as a way to show off your dedication. There's no additional gameplay advantage beyond that point.

How to Increase Hunter Rank

Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions. During the story portion of the game, only these missions will help you raise your HR—optional side quests won't contribute to it. This is crucial because your HR affects which monsters you can hunt when playing online, ensuring you're not left behind, especially when playing with friends.

Once you reach the High Rank missions, new ones will become available as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Concentrate on these to boost your HR quickly.
