High Rank is where the true Monster Hunter experience begins for many. Expect tougher challenges: monsters boast increased health and damage, and are quicker to anger. This increased difficulty is complemented by new weapon tiers and a whole new class of armor. For long-time fans, this is the satisfying grind that defines the Monster Hunter experience.

High Rank also introduces dynamic environmental changes. Each region cycles through two distinct states after completing the main story, adding variety and new challenges. Witness dust storms sweeping across the plains or experience the impact of a day-night cycle. Prepare for new monsters and exciting variations of familiar foes.
