Mastering Weapon Swaps in Monster Hunter Rise

One of the exciting new additions in Monster Hunter Wilds is the Seikret, a versatile companion that enhances both combat and exploration. If you're wondering how to seamlessly switch weapons, here's your guide.

Switching Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To swap between your main and secondary weapons, you'll first need your Seikret. While mounted on your Seikret, simply press right on the d-pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon. Need your Seikret? Just press up on the d-pad anytime you're in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, organize your weapons, and select the weapon you wish to designate as primary or secondary. Your primary weapon is readily accessible, while your secondary rests on your Seikret. You can change this setup at any time.

The ability to switch weapon types proves incredibly valuable in Monster Hunter Wilds. While mastering one weapon type is recommended, proficiency with multiple weapons allows for adaptable strategies against diverse threats. Consider carrying weapons with varying elemental properties to counter unexpected monster encounters.
