How to Switch Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering its challenging hunts. This guide explains how to utilize the Seikret, a new feature that significantly enhances combat versatility.

Switching Weapons:

To swap between your primary and secondary weapons, first summon your Seikret by pressing up on the d-pad (or X on PC). Once mounted, press right on the d-pad (or X on PC) to instantly equip your secondary weapon. You can recall your Seikret at any point on the field using the same up-dpad (or X) command.

Alternatively, manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, organize your equipment, and select your desired primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon will be readily equipped, while the secondary rests on your Seikret. This setup is fully customizable; rearrange your weapons whenever needed.

Strategic Weapon Selection:

The ability to switch weapons is incredibly valuable. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency in multiple weapons offers significant advantages. This allows you to adapt to various monster types and elemental weaknesses. Consider carrying weapons with different elemental properties to prepare for unexpected encounters during quests.
