Capcom to Crack Down on Monster Hunter Wilds Cheaters Before Update 1

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update tomorrow, introducing quests that challenge players to compete for the fastest clear times. In anticipation of this update, Capcom has issued a strong statement on its commitment to maintaining a fair gaming environment. The company has explicitly warned against cheating and the use of external tools, which could lead to fraudulent ranking activity.

In a recent post on the Monster Hunter account on X/Twitter, Capcom made it clear that they will not tolerate such activities. They stated, "To ensure a fun and fair experience for our players, we will take action against accounts participating in fraudulent ranking activity, such as the use of cheating or external tools. Accounts deemed to be in breach of this may be suspended, or have restrictions placed on them, such as being unable to receive rewards from these quests." This warning emphasizes the potential consequences of cheating, including account suspension and restrictions on receiving quest rewards.

Moreover, Capcom highlighted that engaging in multiplayer hunts with cheaters could lead to invalid quest completion times and the revocation of rewards for all participants. They advised players to be cautious and avoid playing with individuals suspected of cheating, urging them to report any fraudulent activity they encounter. Capcom's message was clear: "Please take caution to avoid playing multiplayer with those who are engaging in prohibited activity, or those you suspect of such."

The new quests introduced in Title Update 1 will offer appealing rewards, including cosmetic pendants. Some rewards will be distributed to all participants, while others will be based on Completion Time or the hunter's ranking. This structured reward system underscores Capcom's decision to enforce strict measures against cheating, as it directly impacts the integrity of these rewards and the competitive nature of the quests.

The Time-Based Competition Quests will be accessible through the new Arena Quest Counter in the Grand Hub in Suja. To participate, players must first complete a special tutorial mission to unlock the Grand Hub. Make sure to prioritize this task once Title Update 1 becomes available tomorrow in Monster Hunter Wilds.
