The competitive spirit of Monster Hunter Wilds has been tarnished by an influx of cheaters exploiting the game’s ranking system. Designed to reward skilled hunters with exclusive prizes, the leaderboard system quickly became a playground for hackers showcasing absurd completion times—sometimes even claiming to finish quests in 0 seconds.

Capcom introduced special quest-based missions with leaderboards to encourage friendly competition among players. The idea was simple: the best hunters would earn recognition and rewards for their accomplishments. However, the introduction of this feature also attracted individuals using cheats and external tools to manipulate the system.

Instead of celebrating genuine skill, the leaderboards were overrun by fake records, undermining the efforts of legitimate players. These exploits not only ruined the competitive integrity of the game but also discouraged honest hunters from participating in ranked challenges.

In response to the growing issue, Capcom issued a stern warning to the community. The company emphasized its commitment to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment, promising decisive action against accounts engaging in fraudulent activities.

Here’s what Capcom stated:

To ensure our players have a fun and fair gaming experience, we will take action against accounts involved in fraudulent activities related to rankings, such as using cheats or external tools. Offending accounts may be suspended or restricted, including being barred from receiving rewards for these quests.

This statement sends a clear message: cheaters will face consequences for their actions. Offenders risk losing access to their accounts or facing restrictions that prevent them from earning rewards tied to the ranking system.
