Following the basic mechanics overview, Monster Hunter Wilds is back to present all available weapons and mechanics in one comprehensive video.
Hunters have two weapon states: sheathed and drawn. When your weapon is sheathed, you can move faster and use items. When your weapon is drawn, the character’s movement is limited, but you can use it to poke, slash or shoot at monsters.
In addition to the overview of the 14 weapon types available in Monster Hunter Wilds, the video shares more details about the new Focus Mode. It allows you to carefully aim your attacks or guards. While performed in the Focus Mode, attacks or guards will be directed where the camera is facing.
Attacking the same parts of a monster continuously may create wounds on that body part. Fighting in Focus Mode highlights these parts, and attacking them deals more damage than normal. Focus Strikes are special attacks that deal extra damage to wounds and weak points, also highlighted in the Focus Mode.
