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

Switching Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Seikret introduces a dynamic new way to manage your arsenal. 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. This allows for quick tactical adjustments during hunts.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak to Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select your preferred primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon will be readily equipped, while your secondary will be stored on your Seikret. You can change this configuration at any time.

The ability to switch between weapon types provides significant strategic advantages. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows for adaptability against diverse monster threats. Consider equipping weapons with varying elemental properties to prepare for unexpected encounters.

This flexible system empowers you to tackle any challenge Monster Hunter Wilds throws your way. For more in-depth guides, including armor set breakdowns and a comprehensive weapons tier list, be sure to check out The Escapist.
