Due to the lack of anti-cheat, you can customize your gaming experience in Monster Hunter Wilds with modifications. It’s uncool, though, if it ruins the fun for your fellow players.
How does cooperation work in Monster Hunter Wilds? If you allow yourself to be assigned to a regular lobby at the start of the game, you will land in a … well … lobby with up to 99 other players and can hunt monsters together with up to three other hunters from the lobby.
If you set out alone, you can also call for reinforcements for your already started quest via SOS flare, whereby the teammates can also come from outside your lobby. Those who play this way will likely encounter “randoms” quite frequently, meaning randomly assigned, unknown teammates.

Cheating is allowed, but …
What is the problem? Capcom has once again decided to forgo anti-cheat in Monster Hunter Wilds after World. You can mod the game and customize it to your needs – at least on PC.
With such mods, one can not only adjust the interface to display, for example, the health bars of monsters, but also influence the strength of your hunter. That might be okay when playing privately and solo to indulge in your power fantasy. However, during a cooperative hunt with other players, this can lead to frustration and bad vibes.
The community complains about cheaters: In discussions on various community platforms, players are already reporting negative experiences with cheaters.
- Nidiis opens on Reddit with a demand: “Dear cheaters. Keep that crap offline. […] I don’t care if you want to sneak into endgame naked with beginner weapons because you like them. Or if you want to have the power fantasy of being a god. […] I don’t want my hunt ruined because you’re unwilling to play the game normally.”
- GoldenGekko agrees on Reddit: “Yes, get that crap out of here.”
- ExiledToBronze reports on Steam: “A guy just joined my game and killed a hardened Ajarakan (6*) within 30 seconds of joining. I didn’t even have time to reach the monster […] His damage value was only 250 or less. He had 0 gems in his equipment and so on.”
- mh500372 fears on Reddit that the reports backfire: If anything, it probably only leads people to think: ‘Wow, I can get away with cheating?!’ Just to end up downloading cheats.”
