In Monster Hunter games, Hunter Rank is a system generally tied to players’ progression through the game, and in Monster Hunter Wilds it’s no different. Hunter Rank generally represents how far a player is in the game, especially in Low Rank. But in High Rank, Hunter Rank works a bit differently – and has a higher Hunter Rank cap.

To play Monster Hunter Wilds with friends, you must either add your friend in-game or establish a private server to invite them to.
For players new to Monster Hunter, the Hunter Rank system in Monster Hunter Wilds may seem confusing. Essentially, by increasing your Hunter Rank, Monster Hunter Wilds will reward you with new content, new equipment, and new bosses to take on as your character levels up.
What Is Hunter Rank?
Hunter Rank Represents Your Character Level
In Monster Hunter Wilds, Hunter Rank is both a representation of your character’s prowess, and a stat that unlocks new content as you raise it. To see your current Hunter Level, open up your ‘Hunter Profile’ on the ‘Info’ tab of the menu. Then tab to the right to see your Equipment and Status screen. Your current HR level will be listed below your character’s name at the top of the Status display.
As you raise your Hunter Rank, Monster Hunter Wilds players will unlock higher-level monsters to fight, stronger gear to equip, and new optional and side content to take on.
What’s The Max Hunter Rank In Monster Hunter Wilds?
The max Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds caps out at HR level 999. This allows for practically infinite progression in the endgame, but during the main campaign missions, the Monster Hunter Wilds max Hunter Rank is capped at Level 15, the max Hunter Rank for the Low Rank portion of the game before rolling credits.
After finishing the game, this cap will unlock as players unlock endgame and High Rank Monster Hunter Wilds content.

Monster Hunter Wilds: How To Save
Saving your game in Monster Hunter Wilds happens automatically – but don’t forget to manually save the game, too.
What’s The Difference Between Low HR vs High HR?
The simplest way to think about Low HR vs High HR is to consider Low Hunter Rank as the main campaign and story portion of the game, while High Hunter Rank is the endgame.
While in Low Rank, you will only be able to acquire LR equipment and fight LR monsters, mostly as part of progression through main missions. But in High Rank the entire rest of the game opens up, including scaling monster difficulties, powerful High Rank-exclusive gear, and other side content exclusive to the Monster Hunter Wilds post-story.
How To Increase Hunter Rank In Monster Hunter Wilds
To increase Hunter Rank, Monster Hunter Wilds players must complete main missions, side missions, or successfully finish hunts. Defeating monsters and completing quests both reward HR.
To raise your Hunter Rank quickly, take on special Assignments and Optional Missions as you complete the main story in Low Rank. The maximum Hunter Rank in Low Rank Monster Hunter Wilds is 15, which you should be able to reach well before credits roll if you complete all side content along the way.
In High Rank, you can start gaining Hunter Rank Points (HRP) by completing specific types of content. The best way to raise Hunter Rank Monster Hunter Wilds players can employ is to take on Side Quests. There are dozens of side quests that unlock after credits roll, so go back through every region and check them off one-by-one to quickly increase your Hunter Rank and get more HRP. You can also complete regular quests (and Hunts) to gain HRP.
Remember to take on optional missions and defeat bosses in the open world between side missions to increase your Hunter Level more effectively in both High and Low Rank.
