Small setting adjustments can make a big difference in Monster Hunter Wilds, and the community has found one that might help with landing attacks. Changing the “Reticle Direction” setting to Type 3 or 4 lets you automatically face your target during attack animations, keeping your hunter locked onto the action.
Instant Target Alignment
By changing the “Reticle Direction” to Type 3 or Type 4, you can press the focus mode button during an attack to instantly turn your character toward the targeted monster. This adjustment makes sure that even during long attack sequences, your hunter will stay focused on the boss.
This is especially useful for weapons that need precise aiming, like:
- Great Sword – Helps keep True Charged Slash on target.
- Bow – Makes aiming at weak points easier.
