Monster Hunter Wilds offers a rich multiplayer experience, allowing players to team up with friends to tackle challenging quests and explore the vast world together. While the game's multiplayer system can seem complex, it provides several ways to play with friends, including Link Parties, Lobbies, and Squads. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to play with friends in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Unlocking Multiplayer
Before you can play with friends, you need to unlock the multiplayer feature. This is done by completing the initial missions, which include hunting a Chatacabra and a brief camp mission. Once these are completed, all multiplayer options become available.
Setting Up a Link Party
Link Parties are the most straightforward way to play quests with up to four friends. Here’s how to set one up:
Open the Menu Screen: Access the game's menu and navigate to the Communication tab, represented by a speech bubble icon.
Select Link Party: Choose the Link Party option from the Communication menu.
Invite Friends: Select Invite to Link Party and choose friends from your in-game list or by searching for their Hunter ID. You can also invite friends directly from your Steam friend list if you're playing on PC.
Accept Invitations: If you receive an invitation, go to the Invitation List to accept it.
Using Lobbies
Lobbies are another way to interact with friends and other players. Here’s how to use them:
Join a Lobby: You can join a Recommended Lobby or create a Private Lobby. Private lobbies require a lobby ID to join.
Invite Friends: Share your lobby ID with friends to invite them to your private lobby.
Quest Sharing: Once in a lobby, you can see and join quests posted by other players at the Quest Counter.
Squads
Squads allow you to join groups of up to 200 players. While not ideal for coordinated hunts, they're useful for keeping track of friends and inviting them to play:
Join a Squad: Access the Member List under the Communication tab to join or create a Squad.
Invite Friends: Use the Squad's Member List to invite friends to play with you.
Crossplay and Hunter IDs
Monster Hunter Wilds supports cross-platform play, allowing you to hunt with friends across different platforms like PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. To find friends across platforms, use their Hunter ID:
Find Your Hunter ID: Go to the Info tab in the menu, then Hunter Profile, and toggle your Online ID to view your Hunter ID.
Add Friends: Share Hunter IDs to add friends across platforms.
