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

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch its first Title Update tomorrow, featuring quests designed to promote competition through fast clear times. Amid this excitement, Capcom is taking a firm stance against cheating to maintain a fair and enjoyable gaming environment for all players.

In a recent post on the Monster Hunter account on X/Twitter, Capcom issued a clear warning: "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 found in violation of this policy may face suspension or restrictions, including being unable to receive rewards from these quests."

Capcom further emphasized that participating in multiplayer hunts with cheaters could lead to an invalid quest completion time, and the right to rewards could be revoked for everyone in the party. The company advised players to be cautious and avoid playing multiplayer with those engaging in prohibited activities, and to report any suspected cheaters during quests.

These competitive quests will offer attractive rewards, such as cosmetic pendants, distributed to all participants, with additional rewards based on Completion Time or the hunter's ranking. This underscores Capcom's commitment to ensuring a level playing field, especially when rewards and completion times are at stake.
