In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't gain traditional stat boosts as in other RPGs, understanding the leveling system, specifically the Hunter Rank (HR), is crucial for your gameplay experience. Here's a comprehensive guide on the maximum Hunter Rank and how to elevate it.

Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained

As of the latest updates, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not impose a maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap. Similar to its predecessors in the series, you can continuously increase your Hunter Rank through gameplay. Every increment of 10 Ranks rewards you with small bonuses, incentivizing you to push your HR as high as possible. However, once you've completed all High Rank missions, further grinding your HR might only serve as a point of pride rather than a necessity.

How to Increase Hunter Rank

Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions, as these are the key to raising your HR during the story portion of the game. Optional side quests, while beneficial in other ways, do not contribute to your HR progression.

Your Hunter Rank is significant because it determines the types of monsters you can hunt in online play. Staying on par with your HR is essential, especially if you're playing with friends, to ensure you're not left behind.

Once you transition into High Rank missions, new challenges will emerge as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Concentrating on these will help you increase your HR more rapidly.
