What Is High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds?

High Rank is where the true Monster Hunter experience begins for many players. Expect significantly tougher monsters with increased health, damage, and a shorter fuse. This tier also introduces powerful new weapon tiers and a whole new class of armor—a hunter's dream! High Rank is the meaty, grindy portion that veteran players often consider the core gameplay loop.

High Rank also expands Monster Hunter Wilds's dynamic environments. Each region now cycles through two distinct states, unlocked upon reaching High Rank. Witness dramatic shifts, like dust storms engulfing the plains. A day-night cycle is also introduced, adding further depth and variety to the gameplay. Prepare for a host of new monsters and exciting variations of familiar foes.
