In Monster Hunter Wilds, it is easy to get lost in the depths of menus and settings. Hidden in some corners are options that can significantly improve your gaming experience. MeinMMO has prepared a list of various settings that can save your hunter life.
Why are the menus problematic? Monster Hunter Wilds offers an overwhelming amount of possibilities to customize your gaming experience. From detailed settings for your HUD to minor options in accessibility, the game provides almost everything a hunter’s heart desires.
It is unfortunate that there is so much that some options can easily be overlooked or hidden in one of the many submenus. To make your life easier, we have compiled the 6 most important settings that can significantly improve your gaming experience but are somewhat hidden.
If you want to jump directly to a specific point, feel free to use our directory:
Favorites Menu
The most convenient and time-saving setting that is somewhat hidden is the favorites menu. It is so hidden that you have to activate it first. To do this, open the menu overview and press the button for the submenu.
There, you can customize the tabs and add the favorites menu with the star, as well as hide, move, or add other tabs. In the star tab, you can then place all menu items that you frequently need as shortcuts.
As a result, you only have to open the menu once and have your most important points immediately in view without having to dig through the submenus and tabs.
How exactly to do this, we show you in this video:
Saikrii Auto-Exploring
Does it annoy you that you get on your loyal mount and it just walks somewhere while you look at the map, sharpen your weapons, or take potions, if you haven’t manually placed a waypoint?
Then here is the solution to your problem: This feature is called Auto-Exploring (Saikrii)
and can be deactivated in the settings.
To do this, go to page 3 of the game settings and find the point in the middle where you can turn the option on and off.
Saikrii Control
In line with this, you will find two more options in the control settings that can ease your coexistence with your Saikrii. You have the option to change the control style for your mount entirely to directional inputs so that you no longer have to manually accelerate or stop with additional buttons, but can simply move or ride with the stick or WASD.
You can also set how you want to use exclusive routes in the areas that you can only traverse by Saikrii in the point below.
You can find the settings for this on page 2 in the control settings.
Camera Distance and Orientation to Your Character
Are you having trouble properly perceiving your surroundings or just want to see more of it? Then do not despair: There is an option that allows you to set the distance of the camera from your character.
You can find this option on page 2 of the camera settings under the menu item Camera Distance: Zoom
. The rule is: the higher the value, the further away the camera is. Directly below, you can also set the pan in which the camera stands in relation to your character.
How to set the camera, you can see here in the video more clearly:
Hide & Dye Armor Pieces
Are you a fashion hunter and an armor piece just doesn’t fit your outfit or you simply don’t want to see it? No problem! These options may not be as hidden as others we present here, but they are still not immediately found.
To do this, go to your tent and select the last tab. There, choose the menu item Equipment Appearance
. You can then use the sliders to hide or reveal individual armor pieces.
If you are far enough advanced in the game and have reached the high-ranking quests, you can also overlay forged armor as a skin over your currently worn armor or dye your armor.
Hide Helm & Weapon in Cutscenes
Do you love your helmet as it is and don’t want it hidden all the time, but still don’t want to miss the pretty face of your hunter in important cutscenes? There is a solution for this as well.
Because you can hide both the helmet and your weapons so that they are only not displayed in cutscenes. To do this, go to the game settings on page 3. There you will find the options Weapon Visibility
and Headgear Visibility
.
There you can choose whether you want to see the corresponding equipment pieces in general or if they should remain hidden in cutscenes. A summary video about the various options can be seen here:
We hope these tips help you. Have you discovered other settings that have saved your life? Let us know in the comments. Another setting that is somewhat hidden is to create your own presets for the character editor with so-called design codes.
