Best Mods In 2022 (& How To Install Them)
Michael Hansen
Monster Hunter: World has dozens of mods accessible for PC players that can enhance their experience, or allow them to regain their console progress.
Monster Hunter: World is one of the most popular entries in the franchise, and its PC version has access to a variety of mods that can be installed. Monster Hunter: World introduced thousands of players to the Monster Hunter series, and it continues to be played by thousands of fans today. With the ability to access mods, Monster Hunter: World can be made to feel fresh and lively, even in 2022.
Although the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise was recently released, many fans of the franchise still enjoy playing Monster Hunter: World just as much, if not more, than the latest installment. Monster Hunter: World received its final content update with the release of the Fatalis quest in 2020, but mods are a great way to help keep the content feeling fresh. Additionally, any players who make transitions from the console version of the game to the PC version can use mods to speed up the process of recovering all of their progress in Monster Hunter: World. While there is no cross-save functionality, mods can get any item in the game, which can be a massive time-saver in Monster Hunter: World.
Before installing any mods in Monster Hunter: World, players should create backup files in the event that something goes wrong. For example, if the Monster Hunter: World save file is corrupted because of the mods, the backup file will allow players to continue their game from where they last left off. Any player who doesn't back up their save file risks losing all of their progress in Monster Hunter: World.
