Radial Menu Guide

In Monster Hunter Wilds, and any other entry to the MH series, every second counts when you're in the heat of battle against your target monster.

Rather than having to hold down L1 to open your items and cycle through them with △ and ◯, the Radial Menu allows you to simply flick to an option with your R-stick.

Here is an example, the default Radial Menu:

You can see that the current Radial Menu selected is the Action one. Within the action one, you can flick up for Whetstone, Left for Optimal Health Recovery, Right for Optimal Status Recovery, and Down for SOS.

In this guide, we'll teach you how to customize your Radial Menu for your playstyle and needs to let you focus more on your hunts.

To find your Radial Menu, press Start and look within the first tab, Items & Equipment.

Upon selecting it, you'll see F# tabs of Radial Menu slots. Below, you can see the four directional D-pad options at F2, F4, F5, and F7.

The default one is stored at F2 - you can choose to create a brand new Radial Menu slot or edit an existing one by adding to the numbers below.

As you populate the options, the Radial Menu expands, and positions shift accordingly.

There's a wide range of categories that you can populate your Radial Menu with - you can mix and match as you see fit!

Consumables

Includes everything from Potions and Rations to your different Slinger ammunition.

Ammo/Coatings

For relevant Weapons like Light Bowgun and Heavy Bowgun, this can be very handy.

Essential Items

Includes your niche utility items like the Whetstone, Ghillie Mantle, Fishing Rod, and Capture Net.

Crafting List

Allows you to queue up craftables into items as opposed to drawing purely from your available Consumables.

Communication

Whether you want to optimize your squad's coordination or do some in-game roleplaying with emotes, here's where you'll find a ton of options.

Other

Lastly in this category, you'll find some of the most powerful and unique options.

If you're creating a combat-focused Radial Menu, having Optimal Health Recovery and Optimal Status Recovery are a must!
