Monster Hunter Wilds Leaderboards Destroyed by Cheaters in Limited Time Challenge Quests

by

Since the release of Title Update 1, Monster Hunter Wilds has experienced a significant surge in player numbers. However, this increased popularity has also brought about an unwanted aspect to the game.

In discussion, we’re focusing on the increase in cheaters. As part of the initial update, Capcom has introduced exclusive time-limited challenge quests. The debut of these new missions requires players to vanquish a Doshaguma, a massive dog-bear-like creature, using specific gear that is already chosen for them.

If you manage to defeat the Doshaguma within a set timeframe, you’ll receive an exclusive pendant cosmetic as a token of your skill. There are distinct pendants based on whether you just finished the quest or if you conquered the beast in less than five minutes (a feat that’s quite challenging).

It’s worth noting that aside from regular rewards, there’s an extra incentive for players who manage to rank among the top 10,000 globally. However, the issue is that this leaderboard is mostly controlled by cheaters who’ve managed to post remarkably fast times in just a few seconds. On paper, it may seem exciting, but in reality, it’s quite unfair for genuine players.

Currently, when composing this piece, achieving a spot in the top 10,000 is currently unachievable without resorting to cheating. Consequently, the exclusive reward pendant becomes something neither obtainable nor meaningful.

Clearly, Capcom must come up with a solution for this issue. While the time-limited challenge quests are innovative and appealing, they lose their charm significantly if the leaderboards turn out to be mere facades.

It’s important to mention that, much like Monster Hunter World, it faced the same predicament: cheaters tarnishing the rankings. Regrettably, this persistent issue was not addressed effectively. Once more, the spotlight is on Capcom.

What’s your take on this? Have you given those challenging quests a shot yourself? You broke a record, only to find out it didn’t even crack the top 10,000 comments down below.
