To swap between your main and secondary weapons, you must first summon your Seikret. While mounted on the Seikret, press right on the directional pad (or X on PC). This instantly equips your secondary weapon. To recall your Seikret, press up on the directional pad from anywhere in the game world.

Alternatively, manage your weapon loadout at Base Camp. Speak with Gemma, access your weapon inventory, and select your preferred primary and secondary weapons. Your primary weapon is readily accessible, while your secondary is stored on the Seikret. You can rearrange these selections at any time.

The dual-weapon system offers considerable tactical advantages. While mastering a single weapon type is crucial, proficiency with multiple weapons allows for adaptability against diverse threats. Consider carrying elemental weapons to counter unexpected monster encounters during quests.
