One of the exciting new features in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is the introduction of the Seikret, which brings a wealth of utility both in and out of combat. If you're curious about how to switch weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here’s your guide to mastering this essential skill.
Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To seamlessly switch between your primary and secondary weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll need to mount your Seikret. Once mounted, simply press right on the d-pad, or the X key if you're playing on PC. This action will automatically equip your secondary weapon. You can summon the Seikret to your location anytime on the field by pressing up on the d-pad, making weapon switching quick and convenient.
It’s also important to know that you can swap out your primary and secondary weapons at Base Camp. The simplest method is to speak with Gemma, where you can organize your arsenal and choose which weapon you want to designate as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be directly equipped on your Hunter, while your secondary weapon will be stored on your Seikret. You can adjust this setup whenever you see fit.
The ability to switch between two different weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a game-changer. While it’s beneficial to become highly proficient with a single weapon type, having mastery over multiple types can significantly enhance your ability to tackle various threats. Additionally, consider carrying weapons with different elements to prepare for unexpected monster encounters during your quests.
