Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update tomorrow, introducing quests that encourage players to compete for the fastest clear times. In anticipation, Capcom has issued a strong warning against cheating and the use of external tools to manipulate rankings.
In a recent post on the Monster Hunter account on X/Twitter, Capcom stated, "To ensure a fun and fair experience for our players, we will take action against accounts participating in fraudulent ranking activity, such as the use of cheating or external tools. Accounts deemed to be in breach of this may be suspended, or have restrictions placed on them, such as being unable to receive rewards from these quests."
Capcom also cautioned that participating in multiplayer hunts with cheaters could lead to an invalid quest completion time, and the "right to rewards" could be revoked for all members of the party. The company advised players to avoid multiplayer sessions with those engaging in prohibited activities and encouraged reporting any observed cheating.
The new quests will offer attractive rewards, including cosmetic pendants. Some rewards will be available to all participants, while others will be awarded based on Completion Time or the hunter's ranking. This explains Capcom's stringent measures to ensure a fair competitive environment and prevent issues with rewards and completion times.
The Time-Based Competition Quests will be accessible through the new Arena Quest Counter in the Grand Hub in Suja, which players can unlock by completing a special tutorial mission. Be sure to head to the Grand Hub once Title Update 1 goes live tomorrow in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more details, check out the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 patch notes.
