Master Monster Hunter Rise: Weapon Switching Guide

Mastering weapon switching in Monster Hunter Wilds is key to conquering its challenging hunts. The new Seikret companion dramatically enhances your combat flexibility. Here's how to seamlessly switch between your primary and secondary weapons:

Switching Weapons on the Go:

First, summon your trusty Seikret by pressing up on the directional pad (or the X key on PC). Once mounted, simply press right on the directional pad (or X key on PC) to instantly equip your secondary weapon. This allows for quick tactical adjustments during hunts.

Weapon Management at Base Camp:

For more deliberate weapon selection, head back to Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and easily designate your preferred primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon will be readily equipped, while your secondary rests securely on your Seikret. You can rearrange this setup at any time.

Strategic Weapon Variety:

The ability to switch weapons is a significant advantage in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons and elemental types ensures you're prepared for any monster encounter. This adaptability is especially valuable when facing unexpected threats during quests.
