How to Unlock High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds

What Is High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds?

High Rank is where the true Monster Hunter challenge begins. Expect tougher monsters with increased health, damage, and a shorter fuse. This also unlocks new weapon tiers and a whole new class of armor—the satisfying grind that defines the Monster Hunter experience for many.

High Rank significantly expands Monster Hunter Wilds's gameplay. The game's regions shift between two distinct states, cycling dynamically after you reach High Rank. Imagine dust storms sweeping across the plains or experiencing a full day/night cycle. This added environmental dynamism, coupled with new monsters and variations of existing ones, creates a much richer and varied hunting experience.
