Monster Hunter Wilds - Switchaxe

Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds has received some new details courtesy of new hands-on previews, including information on monsters like Uth Duna and Quematrice. While weapons now benefit from Equipment Skills (learn more here), it also seems that certain types will receive changes following beta feedback.

GamesRadar was advised not to use the Lance and Switch Axe in their time with the build since they’re due for “substantial changes.” These will apparently be “big upgrades,” but that’s not all. Sword and Shield and the Insect Glaive will also receive some changes to address issues with Focus Mode and controls.

It wouldn’t be surprising if all weapons received some changes and balance adjustments following feedback, so stay tuned for more details in the coming months.

Monster Hunter Wilds launches on February 28th, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It will feature brand-new mechanics like carrying an extra weapon to switch to during a hunt, the previously-mentioned Focus Mode for more precise aiming and special attacks, and much more.
