In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't gain stat boosts like in traditional RPGs, understanding the leveling system is crucial. Here's a detailed guide on the maximum Hunter Rank (HR) and how to elevate 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 previous games in the series, you can continuously increase your Hunter Rank through gameplay. Each time you advance by 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 for HR might only serve for bragging rights rather than tangible benefits.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Increasing your HR 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. Optional side quests won't contribute to your HR, so prioritize the main storyline to progress.
Your Hunter Rank is significant, especially for online play, as it determines which monsters you can hunt. Staying on par with your friends or other online players is crucial to ensure you're not left behind. Once you reach High Rank missions, new quests will unlock as you defeat new and Tempered monsters, providing a clear path to quickly increase your HR.
