Apr 21, 2025 10:20 AM

Capcom has issued a warning to players of Monster Hunter Wilds regarding unauthorized mods that alter quest mechanics, allowing more hunters and monsters than intended. While modding for visual enhancements is acceptable, changes that disrupt game balance have raised concerns, particularly for new players who may unknowingly join modified quests. Capcom plans to implement measures in future updates to detect and address modified game data and protect player experiences. Players are encouraged to familiarize themselves with standard quest parameters to avoid these issues.

nWhat should players know about modding in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Players should be aware that while some mods enhance graphics or adjust character models, modifications that change quest structures can disrupt gameplay balance. Capcom has advised against participating in modified quests due to potential instability and unfair rewards.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a crucial installment in the Monster Hunter franchise, emphasizing cooperative gameplay where players hunt various monstrous creatures. Building upon the foundations established in Monster Hunter World, it has garnered attention for its engaging multiplayer mechanics and rich environments. As the game evolves, player feedback and modding will continue to shape its community and longevity.

Here’s hoping their detection tools are precise enough to avoid false flags on harmless tweaks
