How to Switch Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

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 swap weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here's a simple guide.

Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To switch between your main and secondary weapons, you'll first need your Seikret. While mounted on your Seikret, press right on the d-pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon. Need to summon your Seikret? Simply press up on the d-pad from anywhere in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak to Gemma, organize your weapons, and select the weapon you wish to designate as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be readily available, while your secondary weapon will be stored on the Seikret. This setup is completely customizable; change your weapon order anytime you like.

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