Trying out new weapons and finding out how they work is one of the best parts of playing a Monster Hunter game. When looking for a weapon that has quite a few options in Monster Hunter Wilds, you may not have to look further than the Switch Axe as a weapon of choice.

It is with considerable shame that I admit that, even after playing 47 hours for my Monster Hunter Wilds review and putting in another chunk since restarting the game on PC, I had no idea you could quickly gather a whole mess of items in Monster Hunter Wilds by selecting them in the slinger menu instead of rooting around like a hog after truffles.
