Monster Hunter Wilds Intensifies Anti-Cheating Measures

Capcom has announced a significant initiative to address cheating concerns in Monster Hunter Wilds, aiming to keep the gameplay fair for all. This move follows player apprehension that cheaters might exploit the new time-based quests introduced in Title Update 1.

Since Monster Hunter Wilds hit the shelves, Capcom has been diligently rolling out fresh content. The first major update not only expanded the hunter’s world with new beasts like Zoh Shia at higher ranks but also introduced exciting new quests where players race against the clock to best monsters. These changes, while thrilling, have sparked worries about cheating, prompting Capcom to step in.

To ensure that everyone enjoys a level playing field in these new timed quests, Capcom has pledged to act decisively against those engaging in dishonest ranking tactics, such as using cheats or external tools. To facilitate this, players are encouraged to report any suspicious behavior they observe by using the report function available on the hunter’s profile page.

If a player is found cheating, they face serious repercussions, including account suspensions and restrictions on quest rewards. This applies to entire teams if just one hunter is found guilty of breaking the rules. It’s vital not only to report potential cheaters but also to keep an eye on regular gaming partners to ensure they adhere to fair play standards. Keeping your friends honest is a great way to prevent unwanted bans.

The Title Update 1 for Monster Hunter Wilds is now available, bringing with it between 6 and 10 gigabytes of exciting new content. Fans of the series will find plenty to dive into, including the new timed quests available at the Arena Quest Counter in the MHW Grand Hub. Players are also introduced to new monsters such as the elegant Mizutsune and its tempered form, along with a high-ranking Zoh Shia.

Additionally, the update offers fresh storylines, side quests, armor, weapons, and skills. The anticipation continues to build as players prepare for the Festival of Accord, scheduled to run from April 23 to May 6, 2025. It’s the first of many updates poised to enhance the Monster Hunter Wilds experience in the coming weeks, and fans have plenty to look forward to with these exciting developments.
