A new mod can make Monster Hunter Wilds easier by automatically indicating the elemental weaknesses of the game’s enemies. While Monster Hunter Wilds has been criticized for being too easy by the most hardcore part of its fanbase, the title has attracted many new gamers, and this mod could be useful for people struggling to be successful in the popular action-RPG.

Monster Hunter Wilds was released on February 28, 2025, and it quickly became a major commercial and critical hit. While Monster Hunter Wilds earned glowing reviews, achieving an average score of 90 on OpenCritic, multiple reviewers criticized the title for being too easy. Unlike previous MH games, Wilds has more in-depth tutorials that allow players to get the ins and outs of the experience more easily, and elements such as the NPC SOS Flares have been criticized as trivializing the difficulty.

Now, a new mod promises to make Monster Hunter Wilds even easier for gamers who are still struggling with its difficulty levels by adding monster weakness icons to the game. Created by celuloid and called “Monster Weakness Icon Indicator for WILDS (Hi-Res),” this new mod can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, and almost 70,000 gamers have already used it. This mod is somewhat simple, as it displays icons with the weaknesses of the game’s monsters, which can immediately tell players how to beat these enemies with ease. The mod is very simple to install, as gamers only have to extract it from the zip archive and extract it into the game folder.

This is just one of the few exciting mods coming out for Monster Hunter Wilds recently. Some other popular mods for the action-RPG include one that gives the player infinite consumables, another one that enables unlimited character and Palico edits, or even the ability to see all hidden stats in the game. So, gamers who want to change some aspects of the experience currently have plenty of options to choose from.

Despite all the claims of how Monster Hunter Wilds is easier than its predecessors, it’s fair to say that the title has been a huge hit. Monster Hunter Wilds sold over 8 million units in only three days, becoming the fastest-selling game for Capcom. Considering how successful the game is, it’s likely that fans will see even more mods coming out soon.
