How to Open the Map in Monster Hunter Wilds

Exploring the expansive wilderness of Monster Hunter World may bewilder numerous gamers, given the multitude of events unfolding concurrently. The landscape teems with resources, monsters, and intriguing locations, making it challenging for players to manage and remember them all.

As a hunter in Monster Hunter Wilds, I find it essential to keep my eyes on the prize, whether that’s tracking down a particular monster or gathering items for crafting. Here’s a simple walkthrough on how to open your map and set up waypoints:

1. Press the ‘Up’ button on your controller (or the equivalent key on your keyboard) to bring up the map.
2. Identify your target or objective on the map.
3. Press ‘X’ (for Xbox) or ‘Square’ (for PlayStation) to set a waypoint for that location.
4. Now you have a visual guide, helping you stay on track while venturing through the wilds.

How to Show the Map in Monster Hunter Wilds

Based on your device, the “Open Map” button is equivalent to:
– The ‘View’ button on Xbox
– The Touchpad button on PlayStation
For PC or Windows, it defaults to the ‘M’ key.

As a gamer, when I crack open my trusty old map, it’s like a treasure trove of information. You’ll find a bunch of symbols scattered across it, each one representing potential resources, monster lairs, intriguing spots, campsites, and NPC locations – just to name a few. But here’s the kicker: you can also toggle the map to display an environmental overview mode. In this mode, different areas transform into a colorful tapestry, with each hue and shade indicating specific types of environments where certain monsters might be lurking.

As I delve deeper into this fantastical world, I find myself tracking down a variety of beasts, especially when I’m approaching mid-game or nearing its end. It’s crucial to keep exploring based on each monster’s native environment. That’s where the map’s environment overview proves incredibly useful.

If you explore the map further, you’ll find that it has a three-dimensional structure. By rotating it with the joysticks or your mouse and scrolling with your mouse wheel, you can identify areas that are higher and lower on the map.

How to Set Waypoints on the Map in Monster Hunter Wilds

To establish navigation points, simply find a notable spot or any location, then hit the “R3” button if you’re using a controller, or press “X” on your PC.

After establishing a specific destination (waypoint), a guiding symbol will appear, helping you navigate there without needing to open your map. Additionally, this symbol is visible on the mini-map as well, allowing for strategic planning or even avoiding potential nearby threats such as monsters.

The user interface is overwhelming due to the abundance of icons cluttering the screen, making it initially difficult to grasp. However, as you learn to maneuver around the controls, you’ll find that navigation through the different sections becomes smoother and faster.
