Monster Hunter Wilds Intensifies Anti-Cheating Measures

Capcom has recently announced plans to ramp up efforts against cheating in their game Monster Hunter Wilds. This comes amidst growing concerns from the community that cheaters may be taking unfair advantage of the newly introduced time-based quests available in Title Update 1.

Since the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom has consistently rolled out fresh content to keep players engaged. The latest update, Title Update 1, has not only introduced new monsters like Zoh Shia and others at high rank but also added a new quest type where players compete to take down monsters as quickly as possible. However, with these competitive quests, some players are worried that cheaters could steal the spotlight, prompting developers to respond proactively.

To ensure these new timed quests remain enjoyable and fair, Capcom plans to take action against any accounts involved in cheating or using unauthorized tools. Players suspecting foul play can report potentially cheating hunters directly via their profile screens. This move puts the power in the players’ hands to help maintain the integrity of the game.

For those proven to be cheating, the consequences include account suspension and restrictions on receiving rewards for completed quests. Significantly, this measure applies to anyone in a team if even one member is found engaging in “prohibited behavior.” So, keeping an eye out and reporting dubious behavior not only shields the fun factor but also protects your friends from bans by association.

The recent TU1 update, already live, packs a hefty 6 to 10 gigs of new content, offering dedicated hunters plenty more to explore. It introduces the challenging timed quests available through the Arena Quest Counter in the newly unveiled MHW Grand Hub. Alongside these quests, players will face new monsters, including Mizutsune, its tempered version, and a high-rank Zoh Shia.

Additionally, there’s an entire array of new story quests, side missions, and upgrades in armor, weapons, and skills to dive into. Fans should also mark their calendars for the upcoming Festival of Accord, scheduled from April 23 to May 6, 2025. This event heralds just the beginning of a series of exciting updates planned for Monster Hunter Wilds in the coming weeks.

Monster Hunter Wilds, which was released on February 28, 2025, has been rated ‘T for Teen’, featuring elements like violence, blood, and crude humor. As Capcom continues to enhance the game, the dedication to competitive fairness ensures a thriving and vibrant hunting ground for all players.
