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 game's innovative Seikret mount.

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 directional pad (or X on PC). Once mounted, simply press right on the directional pad (or X on PC) to instantly equip your secondary weapon. Need to swap your Seikret’s loadout? Head back to Base Camp and speak with Gemma. She’ll allow you to organize your weapons, designating your preferred primary and secondary options. Your primary weapon equips directly to your Hunter, while your secondary rests securely on your Seikret. Feel free to adjust this setup anytime.

Strategic Weapon Switching

The ability to switch between weapons offers a significant tactical advantage. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows you to adapt to various monster weaknesses and combat situations. Consider carrying elemental weapons to counter unexpected encounters during quests.

This flexibility is invaluable in Monster Hunter Wilds. Experiment with different weapon combinations to discover your optimal fighting style.
