How to Switch Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering the game's challenges. This guide will show you how to seamlessly transition between your primary and secondary weapons using the new Seikret companion.

Switching Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Seikret is your key to dual-wielding in Monster Hunter Wilds. To switch weapons, first summon your Seikret by pressing up on the d-pad (or X on PC). Once mounted, simply press right on the d-pad (or X on PC) to instantly equip your secondary weapon. Need to swap your Seikret's loadout? No problem! Simply call your Seikret using the d-pad up button from anywhere in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadouts at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select which weapon you wish to designate as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be readily equipped, while your secondary weapon will be stored on your Seikret. Feel free to adjust this setup as often as needed to match your hunting strategy.

Strategic Weapon Switching

The ability to quickly switch weapons is a significant advantage in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering one weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows you to adapt to various monster types and combat situations. Consider carrying weapons with different elemental properties to counter unexpected encounters.

This flexibility is invaluable for tackling diverse quests and maximizing your hunting efficiency. So, utilize the Seikret's capabilities to your advantage and dominate the wilds!
