One of the standout features in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is the introduction of the Seikret, a versatile companion that enhances your gameplay both in and out of combat. If you're curious about how to switch weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here's a comprehensive guide to help you master this essential skill.

Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To switch between your primary and secondary weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you 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 on PC. This action will automatically equip your secondary weapon. You can summon your Seikret to your location at any time by pressing up on the d-pad, making it convenient to switch weapons wherever you are on the field.

It's also important to know that you can change your primary and secondary weapons when you're back at Base Camp. The simplest way to do this is by speaking with Gemma, who will help you organize your weapons. From there, you can 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 weapon will be stored on your Seikret. You have the flexibility to adjust this setup at any time to suit your strategy.

The ability to switch between two weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a game-changer. While it's beneficial to become highly 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 monster encounters during your quests.
