Capcom to Crack Down on Monster Hunter Wilds Cheaters Before Title Update 1

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update tomorrow, featuring new quests that encourage players to compete for the fastest clear times. In anticipation of this update, Capcom has issued a strong statement on cheating, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment.

In a recent post on their X/Twitter account, Capcom warned players: "To ensure a fun and fair experience for our players, we will take action against accounts participating in fraudulent ranking activity, such as the use of cheating or external tools. Accounts deemed to be in breach of this may be suspended, or have restrictions placed on them, such as being unable to receive rewards from these quests." This clear message underscores Capcom's zero-tolerance policy towards cheating.

Furthermore, Capcom highlighted the risks of multiplayer hunts with cheaters, stating that participating in such activities could lead to an invalid quest completion time and the revocation of rewards for the entire party. The company advised players to be cautious and avoid playing with those engaging in prohibited activities, urging them to report any fraudulent behavior they encounter.

The new quests introduced with Title Update 1 will offer attractive rewards in the form of cosmetic pendants. These rewards will be distributed to all participants, with additional rewards based on Completion Time or the hunter's ranking. This system explains Capcom's stringent measures against cheating, as it directly impacts the integrity of the rewards and completion times.

The Time-Based Competition Quests will be accessible through the new Arena Quest Counter located in the Grand Hub in Suja. Players must complete a special tutorial mission to unlock access to the Grand Hub. Make sure to prioritize this task once Title Update 1 launches tomorrow in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more details, you can refer to the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 patch notes.
