Monster Hunter Wilds Max Hunter Rank & How to Increase

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't gain traditional stat boosts as in many RPGs, understanding the leveling system is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide on the maximum Hunter Rank (HR) and how to elevate it effectively.

Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained

As of now, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a maximum Hunter Rank or an HR cap. Similar to its predecessors, you can continuously increase your Hunter Rank throughout your gameplay. This means there's no definitive end to how high your HR can go.

It's beneficial to know that you'll receive small rewards every time you advance 10 Ranks. This incentive makes 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 to boost your bragging rights rather than offer practical benefits.

How to Increase Hunter Rank

Increasing your HR in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward and hinges on progressing through the main story missions. During the story phase, completing these main missions is essential for raising your HR. Note that optional side quests do not contribute to your Hunter Rank.

Your HR is significant because it influences which monsters you can hunt in online play. Staying on par with your HR is especially important if you're playing with friends, ensuring you're not left behind.

Once you enter the High Rank missions, new quests will unlock as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Focusing on these will help you increase your HR more quickly.

That sums up everything you need to know about the maximum Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and how to increase it. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
