Capcom plans to add the Arena Quests mode with the Monster Hunter Wilds Title 1 update soon. Players will compete for the fastest times on leaderboards and earn special pendant rewards in this new multiplayer feature. The company sent a clear message to anyone thinking about cheating - they face serious consequences. These punishments might include losing rewards, being blocked from Arena Quests, or having their entire account limited or banned completely.
Monster Hunter Wilds runs without an anti-cheat system, which makes the game perform great on Linux computers and Steam Deck. This also creates a problem since Capcom must rely on players to report suspicious behavior instead of automated detection. The downside affects innocent gamers who might team up with cheaters without knowing it. Capcom stated that players mistakenly caught with cheaters will not receive any missed rewards later.
The company strongly recommends leaving a quest immediately if you notice someone using cheats or external tools. You should report that player through their Hunter Profile screen right away. Capcom wants everyone to understand that if any team member cheats during a multiplayer hunt, the entire group loses their completion time and might forfeit rewards. This strict approach aims to keep competition fair for honest players.
Players worried about these risks can still earn the same pendant rewards by playing solo or with Support Hunters instead of random teammates. This offers a safer alternative for collectors who want the special items without risking unfair disqualification. Capcom mentioned that these reward pendants might become available through other means later, giving players multiple ways to obtain them without participating in potentially risky multiplayer Arena Quests.
