What is the max Monster Hunter Wilds Hunter Rank? The leveling system in MH Wilds operates slightly differently than your typical RPG. Rather than leveling up your character directly, your progression is tied to your Hunter Rank (HR). This number increases with Hunter Rank Points, which you can earn from hunts. The rank system in Monster Hunter Wilds includes a series of level gates that rise in tandem with the main story. If you focus your energies on side activities like the MH Wilds fishing quests, you may find yourself lingering at those low levels no matter how many MH Wilds monsters you slay. Here's how to level up fast without letting Hunter Rank Points go to waste. Read the rest of the story...

What is the best Monster Hunter Wilds armor? It might be a little grotesque, it wouldn't be Monster Hunter if you didn't craft armor from the parts of monsters you defeat. This colorful wardrobe of scales, leather, and fur is as important to your build as your chosen weapon, and equipping any old bit of kit only gets you so far. Most armor sets in Monster Hunter Wilds are only unlocked after you defeat the MH Wilds monster that drops the materials required to craft them. A full set comprises five pieces, each with individual stat bonuses and MH Wilds skills, and the sheer number on offer can make finding the best armor a rather tall task. Our complete list of all armor in the RPG game can help you decide what to craft or upgrade for your build. Read the rest of the story...

The Insect Glaive is perfect for those who like a bit of showmanship in Monster Hunter Wilds. If twirling your glaive around like a demented blender before landing on the back of a MH Wilds monster doesn't seem like your bag, then we don't know what to tell you. There are a ton of Monster Hunter Wilds builds you could try in the RPG game, but for us, the Insect Glaive is up there with the best. Read the rest of the story...

The Witcher 4's moody and opulent announcement trailer is an "adaptation" of a planned quest from the forthcoming RPG, CD Projekt have confirmed, designed to show off both the "tough choices" in store and, more specifically, set new lead Ciri apart from previous protagonist Geralt by having her "mirror" another female character.
