Everything you need to know about loadouts in Monster Hunter Wilds, including how you can use the feature to save different builds and more.
Loadouts play a very crucial role in Monster Hunter Wilds’ build crafting and customization. As you progress through the game’s main story campaign or even the endgame, you will naturally end up crafting multiple builds, be it for different weapon types or the same weapon, albeit with different elemental properties.
However, swapping between the builds can often be quite a cumbersome process. This is especially true in the endgame, where you not only have to be mindful of the armor pieces and weapons but also multipleDecorationsand skills. In addition to that, there’s also theLayered Armor, which can further complicate the build-crafting process.
However, to help with this issue, the game offers a rather robust “loadouts” system. Here’s everything you need to know about the loadouts in Monster Hunter Wilds and how to use them to save your builds.
What Are Loadouts in Monster Hunter Wilds?
Loadouts are essentially builds that you create and save within your equipment library. There are more than 100 loadout slots; as such, you’ll have plenty of space to save all your custom builds. Furthermore, the game also allows you to rename the loadouts. Giving a specific name to a loadout makes it significantly easier to switch based on the monster you’re hunting.
Loadouts are not that useful inLow Rank. However, once you reachHigh Rankand subsequently the endgame, loadouts become a necessity. This is especially true for players who like to experiment with different weapon types orelemental damage. You can essentially keep different elemental builds saved.
This gives you a ton of flexibility during theEvent Questsas well as the regularendgamegrind. Additionally, saving your loadouts helps you save a ton of time when tinkering with your builds. Once you reach the endgame, managing the Decorations and skills becomes incredibly tedious. This is where the loadouts come into play. Saving your builds lets you try out different Decoration combinations, and if you don’t like the new skills, you can easily revert back to your original build via the loadouts.
How To Save Your Build Using Loadouts?
There are two different ways to switch your build loadouts in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can change your loadouts at any of thePop-uporBase Camptents, or at the Smithy (Gemma). In the Pop-up Camp tent, simply navigate to theEquipmentstab and selectChange Equipment. This option allows you to inspect your current build and its components.
