What Is High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds?
High Rank is where the true Monster Hunter experience begins for many players. Expect tougher monsters with increased health, damage, and a shorter fuse. This tier introduces powerful new weapon tiers and a whole new class of armor, setting the stage for intense, rewarding hunts. It's the meaty, grindy portion of the game that veteran players often consider the real Monster Hunter experience.
High Rank also significantly expands Monster Hunter Wilds' gameplay. Each region's two environmental states (previously accessed sequentially) now cycle dynamically after completing the story. Witness dust storms sweeping across the plains, and experience a full day-night cycle. This dynamic environment, coupled with new monsters and variations of existing ones, makes High Rank a far more varied and challenging experience.
