Monster Hunter Wilds’ Seikret mounts are useful. Perhaps slightly too useful. With a single button press, they’ll scoop you up and shuttle you throughout the map to whichever monster you occur to be looking. It’s splendidly handy, however after just a few dozen hours, you may yearn for slightly extra management.
The excellent news is that your large fowl has some unadvertised options that may make traversal and exploration really feel extra vigorous.
Even outdoors of autopilot mode, Seikrets default to a management scheme the place R1/RB enhance your velocity, and R2/RT will sluggish you down. The profit is that you would be able to relaxation your left thumb throughout lengthy treks, however relating to nice actions, I discover it to be much less responsive.
In order for you your Seikret to manage extra like your hunter, pop into the choices menu, tab over to controls, flip to the second web page, and swap “Seikret Guide Controls” to Sort 2.
Pull the e-brake and drift
When you’re manually controlling your Seikret, you get entry to a Mario Kart type drift increase, and it feels actually, actually good. Whereas holding the dash button (R1/RB), and with out letting go, hit the brakes (R2/RT). Your Seikret will begin to scramble as you crank the management stick within the course you wish to go, and if you launch the brakes, it should take off with a drifting sprint that provides you a pleasant increase of velocity.
Within the scripted opening of the sport, your Seikret leaps off a rocky outcrop and spreads its wings, gliding gracefully to the earth. It took me 90 hours of monster looking to comprehend I might do it once more. Oops! Any time you leap from a ledge whereas mounted in your Seikret, holding R2/RT will have interaction glide mode. Whereas gliding, you may steer your self in direction of the place you’d wish to land. I haven’t discovered an particularly sensible use for this but, but it surely’s positively enjoyable.
