Unlike many RPGs where character stats directly improve with levels, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a Hunter Rank (HR) system with a different function. 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 (HR) cap. Similar to previous games in the series, your HR will continuously increase as you progress.

Reaching increments of 10 ranks provides small rewards, making it beneficial to increase your HR. However, after completing all High Rank missions, further HR increases primarily serve as a bragging right, offering minimal additional gameplay benefits.

How to Increase Hunter Rank

Increasing your HR in Monster Hunter Wilds is simple: complete main story missions. During the story, only main missions contribute to HR increases; side quests won't affect it.

Your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt online, so maintaining a high rank is crucial, especially for group play.

Once you reach High Rank missions, tackling new and Tempered monsters unlocks further missions, providing a direct path to rapid HR progression.
