How to Make Combat Much Easier in Monster Hunter Wilds with a Hidden Setting

Combat in Monster Hunter Wilds can be incredibly tricky, especially for newcomers. With complex weapon movesets, a variety of items to manage, and monsters constantly trying to take you down, it can feel overwhelming. But did you know that there’s a hidden setting that can make your combat experience much smoother?

Focus Mode and the Toggle Setting

One of the most crucial elements of combat in Monster Hunter Wilds is Focus Mode. By default, when you hold the left trigger (or ALT key on PC), Focus Mode activates, highlighting orange wounds on the monster. Hitting these wounds will deal extra damage and reward you with additional monster parts for crafting — it’s a win-win situation.

However, as the game progresses, fights become tougher, and trying to keep Focus Mode on while maneuvering around monsters can get cumbersome. Especially when you’re juggling various tasks during the battle, managing Focus Mode can become a bit of a hassle.

Here’s the good news: there’s an option to change Focus Mode to a toggle function. This allows you to turn Focus Mode on and off with the press of a button, freeing up your fingers to do other things. This setting is particularly useful for dual blades users, making combat much easier. However, ranged weapon players may not find this feature as beneficial.

How to Enable Toggle Focus Mode

Enabling this setting is simple. Just follow these steps:

  1. Open the pause menu and go to 'Options'.
  2. Navigate to the 'Controls' tab and flip to page 2 of 3.
  3. Under Aim/Focus Mode Controls, change the Melee Weapons mode from Activate Mode to Toggle Mode.

Additionally, to make Focus Mode even more comfortable to use, you can increase the camera sensitivity. This will ensure that you don’t get stuck moving too slowly while Focus Mode is active.

  1. Open the pause menu and go to 'Options'.
  2. Go to the 'Camera' tab and make sure you’re on page 1 of 4.
  3. Find the Camera Speed settings and increase both horizontal and vertical values to around 10.

With these settings, you can tap your Focus Mode button to activate it while attacking the monster and leave it on until you need to run away. For weapons like the Insect Glaive, Focus Mode even nudges you toward the monster, reducing the chances of missing your attacks.

Conclusion

Now, you’re ready to tackle those monsters with a whole new level of ease. By enabling the toggle Focus Mode and adjusting your camera sensitivity, combat will feel much smoother and more manageable. Give it a try — you might find it to be a game-changer in your hunt!

With these tips, you're all set to become a stronger, more efficient hunter. Happy hunting!
