New Monster Hunter Wilds Trailer Confirms Weapon Swap Mechanic

Initial speculation was that Monster Hunter Wilds would allow players to switch between a ranged and melee weapon on the go thanks to what looked like a holster on the new mount. Capcom has revealed that this mount is called Seikret and it will allow you to swap between any of Monster Hunter Wilds' 14 iconic weapons.

“Your Seikret isn't just for traveling: you can also store an extra weapon in its weapon sling, allowing you to switch between two weapons of your choice during your hunts,” reads a segment of information on the game website.

The potential combinations may not be truly limitless, but they open up exciting new options for your monster hunts. Being able to switch to a ranged weapon when hunting more evasive monsters was a feature shown in the trailer.

There is also the option for solo Hammer players to be able to cut tails at their discretion or bring an elemental weapon to deal with monster weaknesses before delivering more powerful blows. This new weapon swapping feature for Monster Hunter Wilds is literally a game changer.

Monster Hunter Wilds will be released in 2025 and hunters will have the chance to test all these possible combinations for themselves.
