What Master Rank Does

As mentioned earlier, by increasing your Master Rank, you’ll be able to go on more challenging hunts. And by taking down the tougher monsters, you can gather even more high quality materials to make better armor and weapons, which will make your subsequent hunts more manageable.

This is the core gameplay loop of Monster Hunter, and it remains intact in Sunbreak as well. Whenever you get stuck, consider farming some of your earlier hunts for materials to craft better equipment, then take on the highest level challenge available to you.
