Monster Hunter Wilds – Lance and Switch Axe Receiving “Substantial Changes” After Beta Feedback

As an ardent gamer with over two decades of hunting monsters under my belt, I’ve seen the evolution of Capcom’s Monster Hunter series from its humble beginnings to the colossal behemoth it is today. The news about the upcoming changes in Monster Hunter Wilds has me both excited and a tad apprehensive.

Details about Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak have been shared through recent hands-on previews, providing insights into monsters such as Uth Duna and Quematrice. The updated weapons now incorporate Equipment Skills (for more information, click here). It appears that some weapon types may undergo adjustments based on feedback from the beta testing.

GamesRadar has been suggested to avoid using Lance and Switch Axe during gameplay with this build as they are anticipated to undergo “significant alterations.” These changes appear to be “major upgrades,” but it’s not just that. Additionally, Sword and Shield, as well as the Insect Glaive, will also experience adjustments to rectify problems associated with Focus Mode and control mechanisms.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, due for release on February 28th, 2025, across Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, you can anticipate modifications and adjustments to all weapons as feedback is taken into account. Keep an eye out for further updates in the coming months. The game introduces innovative mechanics such as carrying a secondary weapon for mid-hunt swaps, the Focus Mode for improved accuracy and powerful special moves, along with many other exciting additions.
