Monster Hunter Now is no stranger to changes, and its nature as a live-service mobile game means players will always be looking for new events, resources, and upgrades to both their weapons and characters.

Now, fans can expect a few changes to their characters, with the Hunter Rank Cap increasing as part of the April 4 patch.

Monster Hunter Now increases Hunter Rank Cap

One of the most important chances to Monster Hunter Now is it’s increase to the Hunter Rank Cap, which will now be 300. However, as detailed by Niantic in their notes, players may see an inaccuracy to their rank points, but that will be resolved when you next earn HRP.

On top of this, some story quests have been made a little easier, and certain monster combinations have been adjusted for Hunt-a-thons.
