What is High Rank?

High Rank signifies the true beginning of the Monster Hunter experience many players know and love. Expect significantly tougher monsters with increased health, damage output, and a greater tendency towards enraged states. This difficulty increase is complemented by access to new weapon tiers and a whole new class of armor. High Rank is often considered the core gameplay loop by veteran players.

Beyond the increased challenge, High Rank introduces dynamic environmental changes to Monster Hunter Wilds. Each region cycles through its two states (previously only accessible sequentially during the main story), creating a more varied and unpredictable hunting experience. This includes weather effects like dust storms and a full day/night cycle. Prepare for a diverse range of new and enhanced monsters!
