Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering its challenging hunts. 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, a simple press of the right d-pad will instantly equip your secondary weapon. Need to swap back? Just summon your Seikret again and repeat the process.
Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select your preferred primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon will be readily available, while your secondary rests securely on your Seikret. This setup is fully customizable, allowing you to adapt your arsenal as needed.
Strategic Weapon Switching
The ability to quickly switch weapons offers a significant tactical advantage. While mastering one weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons expands your combat options, allowing you to counter various monster weaknesses and unexpected encounters. Consider carrying elemental weapons to maximize your effectiveness against diverse foes.
This flexibility is especially helpful during quests where you might encounter unexpected monsters. Being prepared with different weapon types and elements will greatly increase your chances of success.
