Capcom recently announced its intent to intensify its efforts against unfair practices in Monster Hunter Wilds, with a particular focus on curbing cheating activities. This move follows rising concerns among players about potential cheaters dominating the newly introduced, time-sensitive quests that debuted with Title Update 1 of the game.
Following the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom has consistently rolled out new content. Title Update 1 not only introduced fresh monsters like Zoh Shia at high-rank levels but also brought innovative quest types where the main challenge is monster takedown speed. However, with these changes, fears about certain players gaining unfair advantages through cheating have surfaced, prompting a swift response from Capcom.
The developers are keen on ensuring that every player enjoys a fair and fun experience, especially in the new timed quests. Capcom has vowed to take decisive action against accounts involved in dishonest ranking practices, including using cheats or third-party tools. To facilitate this, they urge players to use the report feature if they suspect foul play from any hunter they come across.
Cheaters identified will potentially face account suspension or restrictions on their ability to earn quest rewards. This policy applies not just to individuals but to any group of players where cheating behavior is detected. Therefore, it’s crucial not just to report suspected cheaters but also to ensure your circle of fellow hunters is above board. Keeping track of your teammates’ behavior could help prevent unfortunate bans.
With the roll-out of the Title Update 1, Monster Hunter Wilds now offers between 6 to 10 gigs worth of fresh content. Enthusiasts of the game can explore new quests via the Arena Quest Counter in the newly established MHW Grand Hub. Among the latest additions are monsters like Mizutsune, its Tempered variant, and the formidable high-rank Zoh Shia.
Moreover, the update has expanded the game with numerous story quests, side missions, armor, weapons, and new skills. Fans should also mark their calendars for the Festival of Accord happening between April 23 and May 6, 2025. This event is just the start of a series of updates Capcom plans for Monster Hunter Wilds in the upcoming weeks.
