This is a guide about the Training Area in Monster Hunter Wilds. In this guide, you can learn the location of the practice barrel and other ways to train with a weapon!

Is There a Training Area?

Does Not Exist in the Beta

The Open Beta of Monster Hunter Wilds does not have a training area or “Training Grounds” similar to previous titles. You can use the barrel at the beginning of the story or hunt Monsters if you want to practice using weapons.

Can Possibly Return For Official Release

In the Weapon Controls section of the Play Guide, the weapon combinations show clips of the training dummy similar to previous games. Therefore the training area may return during the official release of the game.

Practice Barrel Location

Located Near the Oasis at the Beginning

The practice barrel can be found near the oasis after you escape the Balaharas chasing you. If you talk to Alma you can freely choose any of the fourteen starting weapons, so take your time in getting used to them.

Which Weapon is Right for You?

Unusable After Progression

If you progress beyond the oasis you will not be able to use the practice barrel again. At the time of testing our team has not found other areas or objects that act as a training area, so it's worth taking your time with the barrel.

Delete Saved Data If you Want to Practice With the Barrel

How to Delete Saved Data
1	Return to the title screen and select Game Start.
2	Press the triangle button on your saved data and select “Delete Saved Data”.

If you really want to practice with the barrel, you can only do so by deleting your saved data and creating a new character. If you delete your saved data, your progression will be reset and you'll have to work over your character creation again.
