Monster Hunter Wilds: The best character creation codes and how to use them

The character editor of Monster Hunter Wilds allows aspiring hunters great freedom to customize their avatars. We’ll show you how to properly use design codes and where to find cool presets for your hunter and your Palicos.

What are design codes and what are they good for? With design codes, you can download pre-made templates for hunters and Palicos from other players when they share the code with you. The codes consist of 12 alphanumeric characters and you also need to pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.

Players can upload their character designs in the editor and share the resulting code with you, so you can adopt the design in your editor. You can then adjust these templates as you like or adopt them as they are.

How exactly you redeem the codes, create some yourself, and where you can find cool presets is explained here.

Update from September 1, 2026: We’ve slightly updated the structure of the post.

If you are looking for more codes from other players or some inspiration, you might find it at the following places:

Redeem Design Codes

If you want to redeem design codes, you need to go to the third tab in the character editor for your hunter or your Palico first. There you will find the option “Download Design”.

There you can then enter the 12-digit code that corresponds to the design you want to use as a template. After that, you can download and adjust the template as you like.

Create Design Codes

If you want to create your own design code and share it with friends or other players, you need to follow these steps:

  • Create your character the way you want to share it
  • Then go to “Save/Load” on the third tab
  • Select a slot where you want to save your design
  • Then open the submenu and select “Upload Design”
  • If everything goes well, you will receive your personal 12-digit design code that you can share
  • With this code, other players can use your preset

The “Upload Design” option is grayed out

Sometimes, the “Upload Design” option may be grayed out. This occurs especially more often when characters are newly created. Then you can save the design, but the editor still does not allow you to upload. You will then receive this message:

If this is the case for you, you need to start the game with the character and use a Character Edit Voucher in the character selection. Then you can upload the design. The voucher does not expire as long as you do not make any changes to your hunter.

In the respective stores, you can currently get a free voucher for your hunter and for your Palico. If you want more, you need to purchase them for real money.

If you still have problems finding the perfect graphics settings for your created hunter and their adventure, we have some tips for you. Here you can read how to get the best settings: Monster Hunter Wilds: The best graphics settings for Full-HD, 1440p and 4K
