Since Monster Hunter: World and its developers are moving on to greener pastures, the game has become relatively barren with no new events coming in. Most of the efforts of its creators are now focused on Monster Hunter: Rise. Sadly, that's only available for one gaming platform (for now) but that doesn't mean Monster Hunter: World is a boring wasteland now, especially for the PC players.

Because there exists a healthy and highly active modding community for Monster Hunter: World PC. Hence, PC players often find ways to keep themselves occupied in the game while they wait for the eventual release of Monster Hunter: Rise on their beloved platform. Anyone who plays Monster Hunter: World on the PC should likewise look into these mods for the time being.

10 Stracker's Loader

Now, hold up. When it comes to modding Monster Hunter: World, ensuring that one has a backup to keep the main files safe is mandatory. Otherwise, the whole game might become unplayable and might warrant a reinstallation. When it comes to having a kill switch for the mods, Stracker's Loader can't be beaten.

It's a mod that makes all the other mods go away by restoring the original Monster Hunter: World NativePC file. Most mods usually just modify that file or folder in order to implement the changes. Stracker's Loader bringing the original back in turns the game into a clean slate.

9 MHW Mod Manager

Since most Monster Hunter: World mods just tamper with the NativePC folder to get results, managing multiple mods that do that can get chaotic and can quickly turn into a headache. As such, players will do well by saving themselves some trouble with the MHW Mod Manager.

This mod manager is a modest yet effective way of swapping, deactivating, or reactivating mods in the game. It's a nice alternative to Vortex, which is a universal mod manager from the Nexus Mods website so players should just use which one they prefer.

8 Souvenir's Light Pillar

On to the gameplay improvements. Picking up stuff in Monster Hunter: World can be troublesome especially for players with bad eyes. The colors tend to be washed out and less than ideally vivid. Souvenir's Light Pillar, for that matter, makes this trifling matter easier to perform.

The mod merely adds some categorically color-coded light pillars for any item that can be picked up. This way, they're easier to spot and certainly harder to miss. Some monster parts or components can be hard to find especially in all the adrenaline and panic. That's why Souvenir's Light Pillar is a lovely quality of life improvement.

7 MHW Transmog

Apart from being a top hunter with impressive moves and monster know-how, another endgame grind in Monster Hunter: World would be fashion, or the costumes. It's a shame that fashion can be rather limited in the game. That's why some benevolent players introduced the MHW Transmog mod. It lets players replace the appearance of any armor.

That makes it more convenient for anyone who doesn't want to sacrifice their stats just to look great while slaughtering the local wildlife. One of the best perks about this particular transmog mod is that it can be used for hot-swapping.

6 Clear Hunter

We did mention earlier that one of the reasons locating loot in Monster Hunter: World was its hazy and washed-out color palette, right? Well, there's actually a mod that fixes this by adjusting the game's colors. It's called Clear Hunter and it cleans up the game's visual filter, making the items and environment more visible.

Clear Hunter removes the "bleaching" effect of the game's graphics where a white tint or filter seems to be added on top of the usual visuals. It's a treat for sore eyes and some players can even opt to skip the loot highlight mods once this is installed.

5 Monster Weakness Icon Indicator

Flipping books and reading up information on monsters and then memorizing them can be quite the chore in the game. While it does add to the roleplaying aspect, doing that can get old fast. Many players simply prefer to have visual information handed to them once they've done all the necessary investigation about a monster.

Monster Weakness Icon Indicator does that job well so that the players don't have to keep bothering the handler for some encyclopedic knowledge about a monster. It adds elemental icons to a monster portrait according to the monster's corresponding elemental weakness.

4 Extra NPCs In Astera Gathering Hub

Multiplayer is a big component in Monster Hunter: World's late-game especially for events that require a team such as Kulve Taroth. The problem is that the Gathering Hub for multiplayer isn't too functional compared to the main Astera grounds. It's all thanks to the lack of certain merchants or services up there.

Thankfully, the mod Extra NPCs in Astera Gathering Hub fixes this by, well, adding more shops and services to the area. No longer will players have to endure a loading screen just to peruse Astera's other services.

3 MHW Damage Meter

Technically, this shouldn't count as a cheat mod, because MHW Damage Meter merely puts a visual aid on the UI regarding how much damage the players have dealt to the monsters. This way, they can min-max easier and find out which weapon or build combinations are the most optimal.

However, some can still use it for cheating as they'll be able to find out just how much damage a monster needs before it dies or becomes worn out. Still, the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, and most players who will probably be using this already have put in the grind.

2 Near Lift

Astera can be huge at times and traversing the starting area just to get to the other facilities can be tiring especially once players come off the adrenaline rush of a hunt. Too bad the elevator to the blacksmith and other services is too far.

Near Lift addresses this issue by letting the players use the lift as early as the entrance of the trade yard. This way, travel time is reduced and players in a hurry or lacking patience can get to the blacksmith faster.

1 Cuter Handler Face Model

Last but not least is one of the most important gameplay enhancements for Monster Hunter: World, something to make the Handler more tolerable. That troublesome teammate simply keeps stealing hunter credit or getting herself in harm's way.

Surely there's a way to make her existence bearable without completely erasing her or modding her into someone else? Turns out there is with the Cuter Handler Face Model. She might still be the same nuisance but at least she no longer has that annoying grin.
