Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering its challenging hunts. The Seikret, a new addition, plays a crucial role in this. To swap between your primary and secondary weapons, simply mount your Seikret. Then, press right on the d-pad (or X on PC) to instantly equip your secondary weapon. Need your Seikret? Just press up on the d-pad to summon it, regardless of your location.
Alternatively, manage your arsenal at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, organize your weapons, and select your preferred primary and secondary choices. Your primary weapon equips directly to your Hunter, while the secondary rests on the Seikret. This setup is fully customizable; rearrange your weapons anytime.
The ability to switch weapons offers significant tactical advantages. While mastering one weapon type is essential, proficiency with multiple weapons allows you to adapt to various monster encounters and exploit elemental weaknesses. Prepare for the unexpected by carrying weapons with different elemental properties.
