Capcom cautions Monster Hunter Wilds players against accessing unauthorized modified quests

Capcom has published a new webpage on the Monster Hunter Wilds official site that cautions players against unauthorized data modification. The company generally discourages them from accessing illegitimate quests with extraordinary requirements and rewards. They have also promised to implement countermeasures against players who have engaged in such conduct, including account suspensions for the worst offenders.

The company has also shared a table showing the list of legitimate parameters for a quest in Monster Hunter Wilds. One of the notable differences for long-time series players is the maximum number of target monsters. Prior series entries have had generated quests with 3 target monsters. But as of MH Wilds' Version 1.010 patch in April 2025, the maximum legitimate number of target monsters in a given quest is just 2. The specifications may change in future updates or a currently still hypothetical Iceborne or Sunbreak-esque expansion.

You can also read Capcom's official announcement right below. Monster Hunter Wilds is available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam, and the game also supports cross-play multiplayer between all aforementioned platforms.

We have confirmed the unauthorized modification of game data in Monster Hunter Wilds for High Rank environment Investigations, Field Surveys, and more.

Modified data can interfere with normal gameplay and even render the game unplayable. If you suspect a quest has been modified, please do not play it, or stop playing it immediately.

Please refer to the following criteria to identify modified data.
Notes:

- Other modifications may exist beyond the below information.
- The following information applies to Ver. 1.010, and may not reflect changes to the game in future game updates. For the latest update information, please visit the official site.
- We cannot individually determine whether a specific quest has been modified. If you are unsure even after comparing with the identification criteria, please refrain from playing the quest in question.
- We are unable to provide support for any issues or inconveniences due to game data manipulation or other actions outside of normal gameplay.

If you suspect that a quest you are participating in has been modified,
leave the quest immediately and quit the game without saving.

Note: Autosave will not take effect until after the quest results screen displays.

Expanded countermeasures against unauthorized data modification

We plan to implement additional countermeasures in future updates to detect users who have engaged in unauthorized modification of game data to prevent other players from being implicated in such actions.
