One of the biggest advantages of playing on a PC instead of a console is the ability to install mods to, well, modify the game any way one wants. Depending on the popularity of the title and the dedication of the player base,modding communities can churn out thousands, if not tens of thousands, of individual mods to alter a game in different ways.
Monster Hunter Wildsstands as a perfect example of this reality. From fixing minor (and major) performance issues to enhancing the visuals to creating unapologetic cheats, mods forMH Wildshave it covered.
9Shop Tweaks - All Items in the Shop
Everything’s for Sale
For players who don’t appreciate having to dedicate time, effort, and patience to obtain a single item from an Item Trader’s inventory only to have it never spawn in due to bad RNG,Shop Tweaksis the answer. The mod adds basically all items that can be purchased, including many that normally cannot, to the Provisions Stockpile in base camp. Everything in stock can bebought with Zennies.
The mod also comes with four different modules: Consumables Only, Consumables + Ingredients, Materials Only, and Everything, which, as one might suspect, gives the shop vendor literally everything there is in the game.
8Persistent Buff Glow Removal
Clean, Stylish, and Glow-Free Armor
Whenever a buff is applied to the Hunter inMonster Hunter Wilds, whether through a potion or a skill, a glow appears on their armor that remains there for as long as the buff stays active. For players using permanently active skills, this means the glow is a permanent part of their look.
Almost invariably, however, this glow ruins the look of the armor, the ugly light show taking away from whichevercool layered armorthey currently have equipped.Persistent Buff Glow Removaldoes away with this mechanic entirely.
7Infinite Consumables
No Limits on Supplies
Crafting consumables like Potions or Mega Potions is a key part of theMonster Hunter Wildsexperience. While it is rewarding in a general sense, it can be tedious for players who simply are not interested in engaging with the systems and would instead prefer to simply focus on the hunting part of the game.
TheInfinite Consumablesmod makes it so that any time the Hunter uses an item inside or outside combat, the number of items in the Item Pouch does not decrease, essentially making anything they have in their possession have infinite uses.
6Auto Restock
Loadouts on Autopilot
Loadouts are one of the best quality-of-life featuresinMonster Hunter Wilds, allowing players to save a selection of items and switch between them at the tent. TheAuto Restockmod takes this one step further and gives players the ability to freely assign an Item Pouch loadout to certain weapons and armor.
With this active, whenever the Hunter leaves while they have a Great Sword equipped, only items related to this playstyle that have been pre-selected by them would be added to their Item Pouch, saving them the trouble of actually having to enter the tent and select the loadout manually. Auto Restock activates whenever a new quest is accepted.
5Unlimited Character and Palico Edits
Infinite Edit Vouchers
Character creation design codesallowMonster Hunter Wildsplayers to share their Hunter and Palico’s appearance with the entire community, giving the wider player base a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
MH Wildscharacter creator has turned out to be surprisingly robust, and some incredible creations are being shared, however, one limiting aspect to it is that in order to use the design codes, players have to use Edit Vouchers. While the first ones are free, all subsequent ones can only be purchased as paid DLCs in packs of three. TheUnlimited Character and Palico Editsmod removes that artificial limit entirely, giving PC players the ability to completely change their character’s appearance as many times as they want.
4Wilds Rehydrated - ReShade
A Visual Upgrade for the Ultimate Hunt
Among the best mods toboost the visual quality ofMonster Hunter Wildson PC, or any other game for that matter, are ReShades. ReShades allow modders to add a post-processing effect layer on top of the existing game in order to completely change how it looks. From the color correction to the Depth of Field to the anti-aliasing, everything visual can be changed to a degree using ReShades.
TheWilds Rehydrated - ReShaderemoves the washed-out yellow tint ofMH Wilds, replacing it with a saturated, colorful appearance that looks absolutely stunning, even in dark places. It can get a little too bright during peak daytime in the Plains, but that’s a small price to pay.
ReShades are a matter of subjective opinion. Feel free tobrowse Nexus modsfor more options.
3Disable Lens Distortion
No More Warped Edges
Disable Lens Distortionremoves an in-game visual feature that would distort the camera lens around the edges of the image, forcing the image to appear unnatural in a way that is hard to pin down.
But with Disable Lens Distortion installed and the game setting turned off, the difference becomes clear as day. The boost to image quality from this one change alone is more important than almost any other visual mod out there.
2MHWilds Overlay
Boss HP, DPS, and More
MHWilds Overlayremoves the layer of mystery fromMonster Hunter Wilds, allowing hunters to see every hidden stat in the game. The main features include a boss HP bar to reveal exactly how much health a monster has left at all stages of a fight, a DPS menu that calculates the exact amount of damage done per second as well as the total amount during the entire hunt, and aWound highlight systemthat displays exactly where the monster has been wounded before, where the next wound is close to showing up, and all stages of the wounds.
There are even stats pertaining to individual skills, status buildup, hit counts, and a lot more. For players who want a more gamified version ofMonster Hunter Wilds, MHWilds Overlay is the answer.
1REFramework
The Modding Backbone of MH Wilds
REFrameworkis the backbone around which the entire modding community ofMonster Hunter Wildsis built. A scripting API tool aimed at modding games made in the RE Engine, it has been a must-install for games likeResident Evil 7,Dragon’s Dogma 2,Monster Hunter Rise, and basically every game built using the RE Engine, which, of course, includesMonster Hunter Wilds.
Not only is REFramework a tool meant for other modders to take advantage of, but it’s also an all-in-one fixMH Wildsmod tosolve the game’s performance issues. It also adds options like a FOV Slider, a Vignette Disabler, an Ultrawide Fix, and a Free Camera mode, to name a few.
