In order for the new timed quests in Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 to be both fun and fair for everyone, the developers have promised to "take action against accounts participating in fraudulent ranking activity, such as the use of cheating or external tools." In order to accomplish this, players have been asked to report others that seem to be using any kind of cheats by pressing the report button on that hunter's profile screen.

Developers Promise Players Action Against Cheating

Any players that have been proven to be using cheats can have their accounts suspended or can be restricted from earning rewards from quests they complete. This includes the full team of people working together if any of the hunters are proved to be "exhibiting prohibited behaviour." This makes it imperative to not only report suspicious players, but also to keep tabs on those played with most often. Making sure friends are not cheating is a good way to prevent them from being banned.

The TU1 update for Monster Hunter Wilds is now live, and it includes 6 to 10 gigs of new material for the game; fans of the series can expect a whole lot more to do with this new update. This includes the time quests mentioned above, which can be accessed from the Arena Quest Counter in the new MHW Grand Hub. There is also a selection of new monsters, including Mizutsune, Tempered Mizutsune, and a high-rank version of Zoh Shia.

There are also several new story quests, side missions, armor, weapons, and skills. Players will be able to look forward to the Festival of Accord, which will run from April 23 to May 6, 2025. This appears to be the first in a long line of new updates that will be coming to Monster Hunter Wilds in the coming weeks.
