In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't level up with stat boosts like in traditional RPGs, there's still a crucial leveling system you need to master: the Hunter Rank (HR). Here's a comprehensive guide on the maximum Hunter Rank and how to increase it in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
Currently, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap. Similar to previous games in the series, your Hunter Rank can continue to rise as you progress through the game. Every time you advance by 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 High Rank missions, further grinding for HR might only serve your pride, as there are no additional gameplay benefits.
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 segment, only these missions will contribute to raising your HR; optional side quests won't help. This is crucial because your HR affects the types of monsters you can hunt online. You wouldn't want to lag behind, especially if you're playing with friends.
As you progress into High Rank missions, new ones will unlock as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Concentrating on these will help you increase your HR quickly.
That's everything you need to know about 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 check out The Escapist.
