Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To switch between your primary and secondary weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll first need to mount your Seikret. Once mounted, press right on the d-pad if you're using a console, or the X key if you're playing on PC. This action will automatically equip your secondary weapon. You can summon your Seikret to your side at any time on the field by pressing up on the d-pad, making weapon switching seamless and efficient.

It's also possible to change your primary and secondary weapons at Base Camp. The simplest method is to speak with Gemma, who can help you organize your arsenal. From there, select the weapon you wish to use and designate it as either your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be carried by your Hunter, while your secondary will be stored on your Seikret, ready to be swapped out at a moment's notice. You can adjust this setup whenever you want, offering flexibility in your combat strategy.

The ability to switch between two weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a game-changer. While it's advisable to become proficient with one weapon type, mastering multiple types can significantly enhance your ability to tackle various threats. Additionally, consider equipping different elemental weapons to prepare for unexpected encounters during your quests.
