Mastering Weapon Swapping in Monster Hunter Wilds with the Seikret

Monster Hunter Wilds' innovative Seikret introduces significant combat and logistical advantages. This guide explains how to seamlessly switch weapons.

Switching Weapons in the Field:

To swap between your main and secondary weapons, first summon your Seikret (using the up directional pad button). Once mounted, press the right directional pad button (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon. You can recall your Seikret at any point using the up directional pad.

Weapon Selection at Base Camp:

Alternatively, manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and designate your preferred weapons as primary and secondary. Your primary weapon is readily accessible, while your secondary is stored on the Seikret. You can rearrange these selections at any time.

Strategic Weapon Variety:

The dual-weapon system is a game-changer. While mastering a single weapon type is advised, proficiency in multiple weapons provides adaptability against diverse threats. Consider carrying elemental weapons to counter unexpected monster encounters.
