Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering its challenging hunts. This guide explains how to utilize the Seikret, a game-changing addition, to seamlessly switch between your primary and secondary weapons.

Switching Weapons:

To swap 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. Need to recall your Seikret? Just press up on the d-pad from anywhere in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, organize your weapons, and select which weapon you want as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be readily equipped, while your secondary will be stored on your Seikret. Feel free to change this setup anytime.

Strategic Weapon Switching:

The ability to switch weapons provides a significant tactical advantage. While mastering a single weapon type is recommended, proficiency with multiple weapons allows you to adapt to diverse threats. Consider carrying weapons with different elemental properties to counter unexpected monster encounters during quests.
