One of the exciting new features in Monster Hunter Wilds is the Seikret, a versatile companion that significantly enhances both combat and exploration. If you're wondering how to seamlessly switch weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, here's a simple guide.
Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To swap between your primary and secondary weapons, you'll first need your Seikret at your side. While mounted on your Seikret, press right on the directional pad (d-pad), or X if you're playing on PC. This instantly equips your secondary weapon. Need your Seikret? Simply press up on the d-pad to summon it, no matter where you are in the game world.
Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak to Gemma, organize your weapons, and select the weapon you wish to designate as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be readily available on your Hunter, while the secondary rests securely on your Seikret. Feel free to adjust this setup anytime.
The ability to switch between weapon types is a game-changer in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering a single weapon type is always beneficial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows for greater adaptability against diverse threats. Consider equipping weapons with different elemental properties to prepare for unexpected monster encounters during quests.
