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 enhances both combat and exploration. If you're wondering how to switch weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, here's a quick guide.

Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To swap between your primary and secondary weapons, first summon your Seikret. While mounted on your Seikret, press right on the d-pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon. You can recall your Seikret at any time by pressing up on the d-pad.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Simply speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select which weapon you want as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon is readily equipped, while your secondary weapon is stored on your Seikret. You can adjust this setup whenever needed.

The ability to switch between weapons is a significant advantage in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows for greater adaptability against diverse threats. Consider carrying weapons with different elemental properties to handle unexpected monster encounters during quests.
