Capcom has made it loud and clear that they’re stepping up their efforts to curb cheating in Monster Hunter Wilds. This move comes at a time when players are increasingly concerned that cheats could undermine the new time-bound quests introduced with Title Update 1.
Ever since its debut, Monster Hunter Wilds has seen a steady stream of fresh content from Capcom. The much-anticipated Title Update 1 didn’t disappoint, delivering an array of new monsters to tackle, including high-ranking beasts like Zoh Shia, alongside an exciting quest format that challenges players to defeat monsters as quickly as possible. However, with the allure of such quests comes the temptation for some to cheat, prompting developers to reassure the community.
In their commitment to a fair gaming environment, Capcom has vowed to “take action against accounts participating in fraudulent ranking activity.” Players suspecting foul play are encouraged to utilize the report function, found on a player’s profile screen.
The consequences for those caught cheating are substantial. Offenders face potential account suspensions and may lose the right to earn rewards from completed quests. What’s more, if cheating is detected among a group of players, everyone involved may be penalized. This highlights the importance of keeping an eye on those you regularly team up with, ensuring everyone plays by the rules.
With the TU1 update now available, players have between 6 to 10 gigabytes of fresh content at their fingertips. This includes the much-talked-about timed quests found at the Arena Quest Counter in the newly introduced MHW Grand Hub. Additionally, there are formidable new creatures such as Mizutsune, Tempered Mizutsune, and a high-rank Zoh Shia to conquer.
Beyond battling new monsters, the update also brings an assortment of story quests, side missions, armor, weapons, and skills to explore. Fans can also look forward to the Festival of Accord, scheduled from April 23 to May 6, 2025, marking the beginning of even more content set to expand the world of Monster Hunter Wilds in the weeks ahead.
For those eager to delve deeper into this expansive world, plenty of new adventures and challenges await. As always, the key to an enjoyable experience is ensuring that everyone plays fair, making these latest developments from Capcom a welcome assurance for dedicated hunters everywhere.
