How to Switch Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

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, this guide will walk you through it.

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, simply press right on the d-pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon, allowing for quick tactical adjustments during hunts. Need to summon your Seikret? Just press up on the d-pad from anywhere in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select the weapon you wish to designate as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon is readily available on your Hunter, while the secondary rests securely on the Seikret. This setup is entirely customizable, allowing you to change your weapon order whenever needed.

The ability to switch between two weapon types is a game-changer in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons significantly expands your tactical options. Consider carrying weapons with different elemental properties to effectively counter unexpected monster encounters during quests.
