You can collect DLC and additional content from the Support Desk at Base Camp by selecting Receive Content. The Support Desk unlocks when you reach Chapter 1-2, so you’ll have access to it early in the game. It's a convenient way to claim your rewards right from the start!

Edit Hunter

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can change your name from the Edit Hunter option on the Title Screen. After returning to the title screen, select Game Start → Edit Character → Edit Hunter.

Character Limit

Names can contain up to 20 characters only.

Select Change Name

When you open the Hunter's Edit Screen, select Change Name at the bottom of the edit settings.

Change the Character’s Appearance

Using an Edit Voucher lets you change your name as well as your character's appearance. If you're thinking about refreshing your look, it’s a great opportunity to redo your character customization and make some adjustments.

Select Confirm to Apply Changes

After changing your desired name and customizing your hunter, a pop-up screen Apply Changes? will appear to confirm your action. Once applied, the name will be changed successfully.

Important Points When Changing Names

Paid Vouchers Required Afterwards

You’ll need an Edit Voucher to change your Hunter or Palico’s name. The first voucher for both is free, but if you want to rename them again later, you’ll have to pay for additional vouchers.

Offensive Names and Copyright Violations

Your chosen name will be visible to many players, so avoid using offensive names or improperly using someone else’s identity. In extreme cases, this could lead to a ban from Monster Hunter Wilds.

Duplicate Names Are Allowed

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you’re free to use a name even if another player has the same one. There's also no problem even if your name matches an NPC’s.

How to Hide Your Name

Anonymous Display Setting

If you enable the anonymous display setting, other players' names won’t be visible, instead, they’ll show up as "Hunter," but keep in mind that their character names will still appear on the Hunter Profile screen.

How to Enable Anonymous Display

To hide other players' names, head to the title screen and go to Options → Game Settings → Anonymize Names of Other Players' Names. Just keep in mind that you can’t change this setting while playing, so you’ll need to return to the title screen first.

Cannot Hide Your Own Name

This setting only affects how other players’ names show up on your screen, it doesn’t make yours anonymous. If you’re going to play in multiplayer mode, it’s best to choose a name that’s appropriate for others to see.

What to Do if Names Don't Show

Can’t see other players’ names? Chances are the anonymous display setting is enabled. Go to the title screen and take a look at your settings to fix it.
