| Damage Numbers | Display (With Decimals) |
|---|---|
| HUD | Customize based on preference. |
| Minimap Rotation | Fixed |
| Seikret Auto-Explore | Off |
Display Damage Numbers With Decimals
We recommend setting Damage Numbers to display with decimals for a more accurate reading of your damage output, rather than the default setting, which rounds numbers to the nearest whole value.
Customize HUD based on Personal Preference
The HUD in Monster Hunter Wilds is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the size of each UI element to suit your preferences. As a general rule, keep essential battle information—such as Health, Stamina, and Weapon Sharpness gauges—at their default size or larger for better visibility.
Meanwhile, less critical elements like Party Info, Chat Notifications, and Scoutfly Announcements can be reduced in size to declutter the screen.
Set Minimap Rotation to Fixed
Make sure to set the Minimap to Fixed in order to provide a more intuitive navigation experience by keeping cardinal directions consistent, and reducing confusion while exploring the open world.
List of Maps and Locations
Turn Off Seikret Auto-Explore
Disabling the Seikret Auto-Explore feature is recommended, as it is enabled by default. Turning it off lets you manually control your Seikret, providing a more immersive and flexible exploration experience at your own pace.
Seikret Mount Features and Abilities
Best Controls Settings for Console
| Hold Confirmation Duration | Short |
|---|---|
| Item Use Controls | Type 2 Pressing  selects items, Shoutouts, etc. |
| Aim/Focus Mode Controls | Press (Customizable on Weapon Type) / to Toggle Mode |
| Call Seikret Controls | Type 3 In addition to Type 1 controls, holding  / , with your weapon sheathed, calls your Seikret in Manual Movement Mode. |
Shorten Hold Confirmation Duration
Set your Hold Confirmation Duration to Short as this will help pick up the pace for all button input prompts such as skipping cutscenes, and will pair well if you have the Call Seikret Controls set to Type 3.
Although this makes hold inputs much faster, do note that this does not hasten the charge time for weapon heavy attacks.
Set Item Use Controls to Type 2
Setting Item Use Controls to Type 2 provides a more intuitive experience compared to the default setting. This requires you to confirm item usage by pressing R3 while selecting an item from the radial menu, preventing accidental consumption of unnecessary items or unintended weapon sharpening mid-battle.
Toggle L2 or LT to Toggle Focus Mode
The default Focus Mode setting requires holding L2 (PS5) / LT (Xbox), which can be demanding during intense combat scenarios that require multiple inputs, especially for melee weapons. Switching this to toggle keeps Focus Mode active until you press the button again, allowing for more precise attacks and immediate Focus Strikes when prompted.
Alternatively, enabling Advanced Aim/Focus Mode Controls lets you customize the input method per weapon type. We recommend keeping hold for Ranged Weapons if you prefer an FPS-style aim, while using toggle for Melee Weapons to improve combat flow and precision.
Best Camera Settings for Console
Camera Settings
| Camera Distance | 10 |
|---|---|
| Camera Shake | 1 |
| Camera Ambient Sway | 1 |
| Focus Camera | Disable |
| Target Camera Control Type | Type 1 Press  / once to aim the camera at the target monster. Press twice to aim the camera in the direction the hunter is facing. |
| Target Filtering | Large Monsters Only |
You can adjust the camera settings to suit your preference, but we recommend setting Camera Distance to maximum for a wider field of view, improving situational awareness. Additionally, lowering Camera Shake and Ambient Sway creates a smoother experience, making it easier to line up attacks on your target.
For Target Filtering, it’s best to set it to Large Monsters Only, as these are your primary focus during hunts. This helps prevent unnecessary target switches to smaller monsters that may be in the area.
Disable the Focus Camera
Disabling Focus Camera allows for better situational awareness during a hunt, letting you freely survey your surroundings instead of locking the camera onto a target. This makes it easier to spot environmental traps that can be used to your advantage.
For better control, pair this by setting Target Camera to Type 1, which lets you quickly snap your view back to the monster by pressing L1 (PS5) or LB (Xbox). This balances free movement with the ability to refocus on your target when needed.
Best Graphic and Display Settings for PS5 and Xbox
Best Graphic and Display Settings for Consoles
| Resolution Mode | Performance Mode |
|---|---|
| HDR | Automatically Enable |
| Performance Settings | Balanced |
| 120 Hz Output | On |
| Frame Rate Limit | 40 fps (Capped) |
| Motion Blur | Off |
These graphic and display settings offer the best of both worlds by using the Balanced Performance Settings, ensuring a smooth frame rate while maintaining visual quality. This allows you to fully appreciate Monster Hunter Wilds' environment without compromising performance.
While you can adjust these settings based on personal preference, we recommend the Balanced option if you don’t have a strong preference for either visuals or framerate performance.
