NEW! Long Sword Switch Skills introduced with the Sunbreak Expansion The character will perform a quick animation and briefly flash with energy, signifying a successful swap. When out on hunts, hunters can swap between the two loadouts by holding and pressing the + buttons. Hunters can set up each loadout from the Item Box at Kamura Village, Elgado Outpost or even at Camps while out on hunts, just as they would when assigning Switch Skills individually. With the Switch Skill Swap mechanic, hunters are given two loadouts to switch between, denoted by the Red Scroll and Blue Scroll icons on the UI. Being able to make split-second decisions to swap loadouts and use specific moves to counter monster attacks as they wind up is sure to add an exciting new dimension to monster hunting. This allows the hunter to further expand their arsenal of available moves during hunts and to further customize their builds to accommodate their playstyle.

The Switch Skill Swap mechanic allows the hunter to assign Switch Skill loadouts and swap between them on the fly, whether in combat or otherwise. (Note: Details regarding Sunbreak Switch Skills and which ones they swap out with are yet to be confirmed and will be updated when more info is revealed)
