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 output, and a shorter fuse. This tier introduces powerful new weapon tiers and a fresh set of armor to craft, setting the stage for a significant increase in difficulty and the rewarding grind that defines the series.

High Rank also introduces dynamic environmental changes to Monster Hunter Wilds. Each region's two distinct states, previously accessible only sequentially during the main story, now cycle regularly. Witness dramatic shifts like dust storms sweeping across the plains. A day-night cycle further enhances the variety, creating a more immersive and unpredictable hunting ground. Prepare to face new monsters and challenging variations of familiar foes.
