7 Monster Hunter Wilds tips to help you get started in the beta
Since the new Seikret mount lets you switch between different weapons mid-hunt for the first time ever, it'll pay to experiment with weapons in this game more than ever. Even if you're a devout hammer main, say, you might want to mix things up with a faster, more mobile option like dual blades or insect glaive, or even a ranged weapon like bow or bowgun. You could also try hunting horn for when your squad needs that little bit of extra support.
At the very least, experimenting with different weapons will let you decide which suits your playstyle, especially considering the plethora of new weapon mechanics that Wilds adds to the hunt. For those willing to upgrade and master two separate weapons at once, you'll have more options when dealing with tough monsters, especially if those weapons cover different elements and damage types.
Stay sharp
Keeping your weapon in tip-top shape is super important in Monster Hunter Wilds, just like it was in previous games. Your weapon's sharpness improves the damage you deal but also means you're less likely to bounce off when striking monsters with tough skins and hides. Admittedly, it can be frustrating having to sharpen in the middle of a hunt, so try to time it for when you're chasing a monster from one area to the next.
Just like in Rise with the Palamute, you can sharpen your weapon on your trusty Seikret while on the move. When you upgrade your weapons or acquire new ones, make sure to take a look at their sharpness gauge, as this varies between equipment, and some weapons will be able to reach a higher level of sharpness than others. If you find sharpening a pain, you'll also be able to acquire armour skills and decorations later on that make the whole process easier, such as Speed Sharpening.
