Master Monster Hunter Rise: Weapon Switching Guide

One of the exciting new features in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is the Seikret, a versatile companion that significantly enhances both combat and exploration. If you're wondering how to seamlessly switch weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, this guide will walk you through it.

Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To swap between your primary and secondary weapons, you'll first need to summon your trusty Seikret. While mounted on your Seikret, simply press right on the directional pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon, allowing for quick tactical adjustments during hunts. Need to recall your Seikret? Just press up on the directional pad from anywhere in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak to Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select the weapon you wish to designate as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be readily equipped, while your secondary weapon is conveniently stored on the Seikret. Feel free to adjust this setup whenever you like.

The ability to switch between weapon types is a game-changer in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering a single weapon type is recommended, proficiency with multiple weapons expands your tactical options and allows you to effectively counter various threats. Consider carrying weapons with different elemental properties to prepare for unexpected monster encounters during your quests.
