Master Monster Hunter Rise: Weapon Switching Guide

Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering its challenging hunts. This guide focuses on utilizing the Seikret, a new feature that significantly enhances your combat versatility.

Switching Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To seamlessly swap between your primary and secondary weapons, you'll need your trusty Seikret. Summon it by pressing up on the d-pad (or X on PC). Once mounted, a simple press of the right d-pad (or X on PC) instantly equips your secondary weapon. This allows for quick tactical shifts during combat.

Alternatively, manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, navigate your weapon inventory, and select your preferred primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon will be readily accessible, while the secondary rests securely on your Seikret. Feel free to adjust this setup anytime.

The ability to switch weapons offers a considerable advantage. While mastering a single weapon type is recommended, proficiency in multiple weapon types provides adaptability against diverse threats. Consider carrying weapons with varying elemental properties to counter unexpected monster encounters during quests.
