Some people see Monster Hunter Wilds as an expansion of Monster Hunter World, but it’s more than that. Wilds introduces some never-before-seen features like a seamless open world, variable climate, and much more.

Monster Hunter World itself is a masterpiece, and Wilds builds more above its foundation to become the best Monster Hunter game. However, some fans might be questioning the new or upgraded features, so we will break them down for you.

In this article, we have mentioned 5 ways how Monster Hunter Wilds improves over Monster Hunter World.

1) Weather

The weather in Monster Hunter Wilds directly affects the whole setting of the game. For example, a sandstorm creates lightning strikes, which can hit anyone inside the sandstorm. There are three types of climate changes in the game: Fallow, Inclemency, and Plenty.

Fallow makes the monster come out of their comfort zone in search of food. On the other hand, Plenty has all the resources filled around the land. Inclemency acts as an ecology-altering phase. Additionally, each environment has its own apex predator, which spawns during the period of Inclemency.

2) Seamless Gameplay

Players don’t need to select quests from an NPC menu or a mission board; they can start a quest just by initiating a hunt. Moreover, there is no loading screen in between actions and traveling across terrain.

As if this was not enough, players can now set up camps, which can be used as fast travel points. Players don’t have to return to the village after a hunt; they can just head back to their camp to resupply. All these features add a very immersive feel to the game, making the experience seamless.

3) Offline SOS Flares

Monster Hunter World introduced SOS flares that can be used to summon another player in times of need. Monster Hunter Wilds upgraded this feature, and if anyone is playing offline or solo, they can summon an NPC hunter to help them.

This feature can be very useful for those who like to play alone. Sometimes a hunting quest can be hard, and instead of running or abandoning the quest, players can use an SOS flare to call in help, and Wilds adds a nice upgrade to an already good mechanism.

4) Better AI

The monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds are quite intelligent and act according to their needs. For instance, players can attack a herd of herbivores, which will scatter them in the area. Now a carnivore who hunts those specific monsters is going to look around to find his food.

This is just an example of many other behavior traits that have been programmed into the game. The ripple effect in Monster Hunter Wilds is very effective, and a single action can change the whole nature of some monsters.

5) Better Customization

One of the best features of Monster Hunter Wilds is that now players can customize their armor sets freely. There are no gender-based restrictions on armor anymore; players can mix and match any armor set with each other.

Additionally, players will be able to craft decorations for their sets, which is not based on RNG anymore. These features make the game more enjoyable, as players can craft or equip whatever they want without any sacrifices.
