The Seikret is your key to dual-wielding in Monster Hunter Wilds. To swap weapons, simply mount your Seikret. Then, press right on the d-pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon, allowing for quick tactical adjustments during combat. Need your Seikret? Just press up on the d-pad to summon it from anywhere in the field.

Alternatively, you can manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, organize your equipment, and select your preferred primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon is readily accessible, while your secondary rests securely on your Seikret. Feel free to change this setup at any time.

The ability to switch weapons offers a significant advantage. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows you to adapt to diverse monster encounters and exploit elemental weaknesses. Consider carrying weapons with varying elemental properties to surprise those unexpected foes.
