In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't gain traditional stat boosts through leveling like in many RPGs, understanding the Hunter Rank (HR) system is crucial for progressing and enjoying the game to its fullest. Here’s a detailed guide on the maximum Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and how to increase it.

Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained

As of now, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap. Similar to its predecessors in the series, you can continue to elevate your Hunter Rank indefinitely as you engage with the game. Every 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 as a means of personal achievement or bragging rights.

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 of the game, only these missions will contribute to raising your HR; optional side quests won't affect it. This is particularly important because your HR influences the types of monsters you can hunt in online play. You wouldn't want to lag behind, especially if you're playing with a group of friends.

Once you reach the High Rank missions, continue to tackle these, including hunts against new and Tempered monsters. This will unlock further High Rank missions and help you increase your HR more quickly.
