There are dozens of important you need to master in , but they all pale in comparison to learning how to use your weapon effectively. All 14 are available right from the start and each one completely changes the flow of a hunt.

Monster Hunter Wilds has, so far, been an absolutely fantastic game for those who can actually play it. PC players have been complaining of performance issues since launch, and for those on any platform, a handful of glitches have gotten in the way of the hunt.

For newcomers to the series, Monster Hunter Wilds might seem clunky at first. There's no obvious way to lock on to the Large Monsters, which can cause you to miss a lot of your attacks. But before you kick the bucket in frustration and call it quits, there's a way to activate a more classic lock-on targeting system in the game.
