One of the exciting new features in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is the introduction of the Seikret, which provides a plethora of utility both in and out of combat. If you're curious about how to switch weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here's a detailed guide to help you master this mechanic.
Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To switch between your primary and secondary weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll first need to mount your Seikret. Once mounted, you can switch weapons by pressing right on the d-pad if you're using a console, or the X key if you're playing on PC. This action will automatically equip your secondary weapon. You can summon the Seikret to your location at any time by pressing up on the d-pad, no matter where you are in the field.
It's also important to know that you can switch out your primary and secondary weapons when you're back at Base Camp. The simplest way to do this is by talking to Gemma, who will help you organize your weapons. From there, you can select the weapon you wish to use and designate it as either your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be carried by your Hunter, while your secondary weapon will be stored on your Seikret. This setup can be changed at any time to suit your current needs.
The ability to switch between two weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is incredibly beneficial. While it's advisable to become proficient with one weapon type, having the flexibility to use multiple types can significantly enhance your ability to tackle various threats. Additionally, carrying weapons with different elements can be advantageous, especially when facing unexpected monster encounters during your quests.
