Multiplayer

How can I play multiplayer with my friends?

To obtain the bonus content, talk to the Support Desk in-game and select “I’d like to request support.” *The “Support Desk” character can be found at the Base Camps in each locale.



*Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight is sent directly to your tent and do not have to be retrieved from the Support Desk. Layered Armor can be changed from the Equipment Appearance menu in your tent.



If you still do not receive the bonus content in-game, please check the FAQ below.

Add-on

Bonus Content

I cannot receive/find my limited bonus content (Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight and Talisman: Hope Charm).

Please ensure that you have met the requirement to complete the bounty. If the objective is to "slay" a monster, please note that "capturing" it will not allow you to complete the bounty. *If the objective is to "hunt" a monster, you can complete the bounty by either "slaying" or "capturing" the target.

I cannot complete a Research Help: Monsters bounty despite capturing the target monster.

Some armor may be hidden due to the filter option which can be found at the top of the Forge/Upgrade Armor list. Try changing the filter to "Show All" and check whether the armor appears in the list.



If the armor still does not appear, try changing the sort option below the filter to "Default" and check again.

The new armor does not appear in the forge list despite meeting the requirements to unlock it at the Smithy.

Certain skills can cause the hunter's status to decrease.

A defense down icon does not disappear.

A feature has been added with the Ver.1.021.00.00 update, which allows players to hide/show specific ammo and coatings in the Ammo/Coatings Bar. To toggle the "Show/Hide Ammo (Coatings)" option at the Ammo/Coatings Pouch menu, go to Start Menu &gt; Items &amp; Equipment &gt; Check Item Pouch, or enter a tent and go to Item Menu &gt; Transfer Items.



A marker will be displayed on the upper right corner of each ammo/coating icon if it is hidden, so please check their visibilitiy status if you cannot find an ammo or coating.

Some ammo and coatings do not appear in the Ammo/Coatings Bar.

In order to accept an event quest, players need to hunt/slay the same target monster of the same rank that appears during the story progression. If you are unable to accept the event quest, please try progressing through your main missions.

An event quest cannot be accepted even though the necessary conditions are met.

If a Cosmetic DLC Pack is released after you have purchased the Cosmetic DLC Pass including the pack, you must perform the following procedures in order to apply the content to the game.



PlayStation 5: Highlight Monster Hunter Wilds on the Home screen, scroll to the bottom of the page until you reach the Add-Ons section, and select View All Add-Ons. Then, download the content displayed as “Free”.



Xbox Series X|S: Highlight Monster Hunter Wilds on the Home screen, press the Menu button on your controller, and select Manage Game &amp; Add-ons. Then, select Monster Hunter Wilds and download the content that is not installed.



Steam: The content will automatically be installed after the update. *If the content is not installed after the game has been updated, please try restarting the game.
