Change weapons to gain attribute advantages in Monster Hunter Now. Read on to know more about how to change weapons, and exploit enemy weaknesses by gaining an advantage in attributes!
List of Contents
Tapping the Weapon Icon at the bottom part of the screen allows Hunters to change their currently equipped weapon to another.
Hunters are also able to change weapons before facing a large monster. Tapping the Weapon Icon allows hunters to choose their preferred weapon before the encounter.
Exploit enemy weaknesses by changing weapons just before an encounter with a large monster. Weaknesses will be displayed under the name of the large monster, so make sure to choose the weapon with the elemental attribute it's weak against.
New hunters will immediately notice that the Sword and Shield is equipped by default. Progress through the Main Story in order to unlock more weapon types!
