In fact, it says the punishing has already begun. Hooray!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we exclude the fraudulent clear times, we will also place restrictions on those accounts. The user&#8217;s clear time will not be registered in the rankings from that point, and they will not receive the event rewards,&#8221; Capcom said. &#8220;In addition, we have already taken and will continue to take action to ban accounts that our reviews have found to be cheating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"b4FUSTBmDn4w7NaSXrFgtM\" name=\"20250305093621_1\" alt=\"A hunter sprints away from two crazed Yian Kut-Ku in Monster Hunter Wilds.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/capcom-says-it-has-already-taken-and-will-continue-to-take-action-to-ban-monster-hunter-wilds-cheaters-as-it-begins-a-1-to-2-week-review-of-the-challenge-quest-leaderboard-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting is Capcom said that in addition to judging clear times, it will also conduct its &#8220;own investigations.&#8221; What those investigations might look like is anyone&#8217;s guess: In past PC releases, Capcom has turned a blind eye on Monster Hunter modding, so it&#8217;s hard to say what kind of telemetry the studio is able to collect about what software modifications the player might be running.<\/p>\n<p>In a page warning against <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterhunter.com\/wilds\/en-us\/topics\/unauthorized-modification-data\/\" target=\"_blank\">unauthorized Monster Hunter Wilds data modification<\/a>, however, Capcom said it plans to &#8220;implement additional countermeasures in future updates to detect users who have engaged in unauthorized modification of game data.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That warning against data modification seems primarily directed at players who are modding quests to provide extra rewards. But if you run afoul of Capcom&#8217;s efforts to root out cheating, it sounds like you won&#8217;t have any opportunity to appeal the punishment. &#8220;As we take action based on play data and history, we will not respond to any requests regarding the reversal of these measures,&#8221; Capcom said. &#8220;We urge all players to refrain from engaging in fraudulent activities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, Capcom is able to differentiate between purely cosmetic mods and add-ons that alter quest rewards and player damage output\u2014especially when some players have to turn to mods to alleviate Wilds&#8217; still-iffy performance. At the very least, if you&#8217;re going to be posting times during the next challenge quest, my advice would be to turn off all mods, cosmetic or otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/capcom-says-it-has-already-taken-and-will-continue-to-take-action-to-ban-monster-hunter-wilds-cheaters-as-it-begins-a-1-to-2-week-review-of-the-challenge-quest-leaderboard\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monster Hunter Wilds just finished up its first limited-time challenge quest, where hunters could compete on a worldwide leaderboard for the fastest clear time in a hunt against a Doshaguma to earn bragging rights and cosmetic rewards.
