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

Alma, the guild handler, clenches a vengeful fist in Monster Hunter Wilds.

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. Unsurprisingly, those leaderboards were quickly flooded with cheaters posting impossibly fast hunting times. Today Capcom said it's beginning a "review" of the leaderboard, so that it can "take action" against users who posted illegitimate times.

"The final rankings results for this quest will be confirmed during a 1-to-2 week review period from today," Capcom said in a Steam news post. "Event rewards will be distributed after any fraudulent clear times have been investigated and excluded."
