Monster Hunter Wilds: How To Create and Join Squads

Squads in Monster Hunter Wilds or MHWilds allow players to easily connect with other hunters and make a community. You will be able to engage in the Squads option by interacting with one of the NPCs present in the Windward Plains Base Camp. There are quite a few benefits to being in a Squad, including being able to use the chat option to talk with other players at any point during the gameplay.

We discuss further about Squads in MHWilds in detail below.

Monster Hunter Wilds Squads Overview 

Where Is the Squad Information Center in MHWilds: Location Explored

In the Windward Plains Base Camp, you will find Felicita on the left of the main tent’s entrance. The first time you interact with her, she will talk to you about Squads, followed by several prompts on how the mechanic works. The attached map screenshot should help you figure out where to find the NPC.

What Are Squads in Monster Hunter Wilds?

The game describes Squads as a mechanic that allows hunters to band together as a community in MHWilds. Once you have joined one, you can talk via chat with other members at any time. Any post will remain even after you log out. 

Furthermore, special Squad lobbies can also be created for playing together among members in Monster Hunter Wilds. A Squad lobby’s maximum player limit is directly proportional to the Squad’s size, meaning the former grows with the latter. The Squad Lobby gets disbanded if the capacity is exceeded. A new Squad Lobby will then have its upper limit adjusted to the new Squad size.

How To Create Squads in Monster Hunter Wilds

To create Squads in MHWilds, interact with Felicita at the Windward Plains Base Camp.

• Select the prompt “Let’s talk Squads.”
• Select Manage Squads -> Join a New Squad -> Create New
• Once you are happy with the Squad Settings, Emblem Icon, and Emblem Shape, proceed to name your new Squad. The Squad name can have at most 20 characters and should not be something offensive or insensitive. Once satisfied, confirm and create the Squad in Monster Hunter Wilds.

You will have the following options once you choose to create a new Squad:

• Squad Settings
  • Join Approval
  • Squad Vibe
  • Rank Preference
  • Language
  • Platform
  • Comment
• Emblem Icon
• Emblem Shape

Once your Squad is active, you will notice the following options:

• Member List
• Squad Chat
• Check Squad Requests
• Invite to Squad
• Invited Hunters
• Edit Squad Profile
• Edit Leader Message
• Leave
• Disband

The Squad card visible on this page also provides the group’s unique eight-character alphanumeric ID. This can be shared with other hunters who can then request to join.

How To Join Squads in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you have a Squad’s unique ID, you can go to the Squad Information Centre in the Windward Plains Base Camp (Felicita), open Manage Squads, click Join a New Squad, and hit Squad ID Search. Type in the eight-character alphanumeric ID in the box provided to send a request to join that Squad.

You can also join Squads in Monster Hunter Wilds if you are invited to one via your unique Hunter ID. 

How To Leave Squads in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you are the Squad Leader, you can select Disband in the Squad Menu to permanently delete the unit. If you are only a member, you can choose to Leave instead.
