How to Switch Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To switch between your primary and secondary weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, first mount your Seikret. While mounted, press right on the d-pad, or the X key on PC. Your Hunter will automatically equip the secondary weapon. You can summon your Seikret anywhere in the field by pressing up on the d-pad.

You can also change your primary and secondary weapons when you return to Base Camp. The simplest method is to speak with Gemma, organize your weapon inventory, and select the desired weapon to assign it as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon is carried on your Hunter, while your secondary weapon is stored on the Seikret. This loadout order can be rearranged at any time.

Switching between two weapon types is an incredibly valuable feature in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering one weapon type is always recommended, proficiency with multiple types allows you to handle diverse threats effectively. Consider equipping weapons with different elemental attributes to prepare for unexpected monster encounters during quests.
