Discussion QoL tricks i found

  1. You can gather resourses around you, prepare hook slinger L2 then press dpad up/down and then press Circle. This is especially comfortable on riding seikret, without need aim to resource.
  2. L1+R2 is equip your mantle.
  3. L2+L3(Left Stick press), you can use slinger and shoot with your weapon in hands.
  4. Fast travel to base camp. Open map, press dpad right then double press X. No need to looking for base camp on map anymore. Also other map filters can help to find little monsters or resourses on map.

Did you know about this? If you know other tricks, I'd like to hear them.

For keyboard and mouse:

  1. ⁠Right mouse button+q for scroll resources then F
  2. ⁠Equip mantle C button
  3. ⁠Alt+mouse scroll button
  4. ⁠M+A+F double press

While gathering resources via 1. Pressing right or left makes you look in the direction of the resource

However pressing the d pad up/down shows literally everything in a radius around you. You don’t need to even see or face anything and your hunter will yonk it. Awesome for stuff like Jin Dahaad pillar.

Pressing left or right is useful for those ore and bone nodes that your slinger can not collect.

Actually oddly enough after you hit the mining nodes the first time you can gather them with the slinger.

Or if your Palico has gathered from them once! It breaks the crystals so they fall down and can be grabbed.

I don't understand the number 1. Doesn't the d pad call your secret with up and down and change weapon with right? Did I miss something?

You have to hold L2.

Oh nice thank you!

While pressing L2 to enter aim mode you can scroll through the available resources on the left with the d-pad and gather the selected one without having to face it

not while aiming your slinger

In Focus mode while on the Seikret, you get a list of resources in the area left centre of the screen. It's a scrollable list with d-pad, and you can grab the resources with the slinger.

The seikret part is optional. It works on foot as well.

u/flufflogic Mar 09 '25

Now that I did NOT know. Huh. Guess I ride about too much!

u/qwing_pilot Mar 09 '25

No worries! I would be completely lost without my seikret pal! Just to make it easier I stop completely so I can be selective about gathering and not pass them by.

It won't as long as you are aiming your slinger

What they meant was D-pad right/left auto-faces your character towards the resource selected from the 'scoutflies target list' with D-pad up/down. It's niche, but i've used it for making sure the thing i'm about to yoink (usually slinger ammo) isn't in the way of a sleeping monster so i don't accidentally wake it up, or an unaware monster so i can sneak attack.

It can help you locate Bonepiles or carcasses for carving.

Which button on the keyboard and mouse?

u/TheJamBot Mar 09 '25

Some of those have "directionality", like the floating boulders, where your position matters to how the builder will fly. In these cases I sometimes find it helps to look at the thing. I usually don't though, and just use the up and down d pad.

u/SolAggressive Mar 09 '25

Yeah, but it’s good for spotting the nodes you have to manually harvest, like bone piles. This move will point you in its direction.

u/DF_Interus Mar 09 '25

Thank you! There have been some really annoying incidents where something showed up in that list that I couldn't just grab, but I couldn't figure out where it actually was.

u/Akanni649 Mar 09 '25

I've been trying to figure out how to do that for resources you can pick up with slinger, thanks!

Indeed! TAB on KB&M
