Monster Hunter Wilds character design codes are special feature where players can upload character appearances for others to try out during character creation. Admittedly, it's a system with some serious limitations: for one thing, it's something you can only do when you're using the Monster Hunter Wilds change appearance option, not the initial character creation. And secondly, not many people seem to be using it, preferring instead to manually upload pictures of their slider settings for their custom characters to online forums. Still, in case it starts to catch on, here's how the character design codes work in Monster Hunter Wilds, and what you need to do to use them.
How to use Character Design Codes in Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster Hunter Wilds character design codes are a feature built into MH Wilds wherein players can upload and download their Hunter appearances… but right now not many people seem to be using it, with the community instead preferring to share the specific slider inputs so players can manually create those characters instead. Still, here's how the character design codes work:
- When changing their character appearance and connected online (but not during the initial character creation), a player can go to the rightmost tab and save their design for future reference.
- Once you've done this, press Save/Load to bring up your saved designs.
- On the design you want to share with other people, press Triangle/Y to open the Sub-Menu.
- Press "Upload Design".
- This will then give you a twelve digit code for you to share with friends.
- Other people, when designing a character, can then go to the "Download Design" option under Save/Load.
- Enter the character design code to change your character's appearance to match.
Again, the big problem here is that the community isn't using this feature in Monster Hunter Wilds much right now - in part because you can't upload designs during that initial character creation, as mentioned - and is instead just sharing screenshots of slider settings to do it manually, which isn't ideal.
Still, we've been testing it out, and if you want a free taster to work from, here's a character design code for Ciri from the Witcher series.
