Monster Hunter Wilds’ Seikret mounts are useful. Possibly just a little 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 searching. It’s splendidly handy, however after a number of dozen hours, you would possibly yearn for just a little 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 improve your pace, and R2/RT will sluggish you down. The profit is you can relaxation your left thumb throughout lengthy treks, however relating to wonderful 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 Kind 2.
Pull the e-brake and drift
When you’re manually controlling your Seikret, you get entry to a Mario Kart fashion drift enhance, 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 need to go, and while you launch the brakes, it should take off with a drifting sprint that offers you a pleasant enhance of pace.
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 searching to comprehend I may 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’ll be able to steer your self in direction of the place you’d prefer to land. I haven’t discovered an particularly sensible use for this but, however it’s undoubtedly enjoyable.
