Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To seamlessly switch between your primary and secondary weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll first need to mount your Seikret. Once mounted, simply 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 allow your Hunter to automatically equip your secondary weapon. You can summon the Seikret to your location at any time on the field by pressing up on the d-pad.

It's also important to note that you can change your primary and secondary weapons at Base Camp. The most straightforward way to do this is by talking to Gemma, where you can organize your weapons and select the one you wish to set as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be equipped on your Hunter, while your secondary will be stored with your Seikret. This setup can be adjusted at any time to suit your needs.

The ability to switch between two weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is incredibly beneficial. While it's always recommended to become highly proficient with one weapon type, having the flexibility to use multiple types can significantly enhance your ability to handle various threats. Additionally, consider carrying different elemental weapons to prepare for unexpected monster encounters during your quests.
