In Monster Hunter Wilds, players participating in the Challenge Quest face potential restrictions or bans if caught cheating. The development team is actively addressing issues related to fraudulent clear times to maintain a fair gaming experience. While the recently concluded Doshaguma of the Hollow quest has ended, legitimate players should anticipate receiving their rewards in approximately one to two weeks, following a thorough investigation to differentiate between honest players and rule-breakers. Launched on February 28, 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds serves as a follow-up to 2018’s Monster Hunter World.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from fans, it has garnered some of the best critical acclaim within the franchise, with particular praise directed toward its engaging combat and gameplay loop. In addition to progressing through the main storyline, players can engage in Challenge Quests, where they compete against one another for rewards. The Doshaguma of the Hollow event, which began on April 3, tasked players with defeating a Doshaguma quickly, but some participants resorted to dishonest tactics to secure the fastest times. Capcom recently issued a community note on Steam, announcing their investigation into players involved in cheating and stating that appropriate measures would be taken to uphold fair play standards.
Players who completed the event truthfully can expect updates on the corrected results, which will be shared on the game’s official Twitter page. In contrast, those found cheating will face penalties ranging from account restrictions to potential bans. Previously announced changes to Challenge Quests indicate that hackers will not affect the rewards distribution, as players do not need to rank on the leaderboard to receive their prizes. Capcom’s commitment to enforcing its anti-cheating policy brings reassurance to dedicated players striving for legitimate leaderboard rankings, especially with numerous ongoing and upcoming quests scheduled until early May.
