In previousMonster Huntergames you were restricted to one weapon at time in the field. InMonster Hunter Wilds, however, you can have an extra weapon sheathed on your Seikret which you can swap to when in the field. Here is how to change weapons inMonster Hunter Wilds.
How to change weapons in the field
As long as you have another weapon equipped to your mount (Seikret) inMonster Hunter Wilds, you’re able to swap to that weapon at any time when out in the field in any region, as long as your Seikret is in the field with you. Some missions will keep the Seikret at base camp, in which case you cannot change your weapons in the field.
You can call your Seikret to your location at anytime, with the button to do so being different on each platform. Here is how you call your Seikret on each platform:
Once you’ve called your Seikret, you can change weapons either why mounting it or near it. Doing so will sheathe the weapon you currently have equipped onto the Seikret, and take the one you have stored with the Seikret and make it your primary weapon. Here is how to change weapons on each platform:
A good strategy is to have both a melee weapon like the Great Sword, Hammer, or Lance, as well as a ranged weapon like the Bow, or one of the Bowguns. This will allow you to quickly switch between ranged and melee attacks based on the circumstance, and enable you to take advantage of various environmental actions even if you’re a melee player.
How to change equipped weapons at base camp
Now that you know how to change your weapons in the field, you’re going to want to know how to change which weapons you can switch between when out on the field. To do so simply head to your tent at base camp and when the tent menu pops up, go right to the second menu screen and choose to change equipment. Here you can equip both your primary weapon as well as the weapon you want stored on your Seikret for easy access when in the field.
