You won't get far in Monster Hunter Wilds without items. It is a basic tip to learn, but having easy access to your most needed items is just as important as mastering your weapons or calling in your friends to join in on the hunt. Your radial menu allows you to quickly select and use all your equipment on the fly, but may not be set up how you want it by default. Thankfully you can easily customize this menu so all the items you want are in the places that feel most natural.

How to customize the radial menu

The radial menu is your shortcut menu that you can pop open by holding L1 on consoles. Once open, you can easily select an item by pointing your stick in any of the four directions plus change categories with the D-pad.

Step 1: Once you have access to your base camp, visit your tent or pause the game and go under the Items & Equipment menu.

Step 2: Select the Customize Radial Menu option

Step 3: You will have 36 total loadouts you can customize. Choose any blank one to begin customizing it.

Step 4: You can now choose from all your items set them to one of 12 slots. If you place something in the wrong place and want to swap it, press Sort Radial Menus and you can swap the locations of two items without removing and readding them to the loadout.

Step 5: Once you have all your items set how you like, press the Manage Loadouts button.

Step 6: Choose an empty loadout slot and press Register Loadout to add your new radial menu to that slot.

Step 7: Once set, make sure to highlight and press Use Loadout to make it active.

You can also use the sub menu to rename a loadout, set an emblem, or delete it to make room for a new one.

You can also press the sub menu button to share your loadout with friends to let them easily use the same loadout you created.

How to use the Friend’s Pass in Split Fiction
Zoe and Mio pose with dragons in Split Fiction.

Just like It Takes Two and A Way Out, Split Fiction is a co-op game where you have no choice but to play with a partner. This time around, though, the game is fully cross-platform so you can go through this adventure with a friend no matter where they are playing. As if that wasn't good enough, it also brings back the Friend's Pass that lets two players go through the game on their own systems with only one of them having to purchase the game. If you want to take advantage of this great deal, here's how the Friend's pass works.

How long is Split Fiction?
Zoe and Mio run through a sci-fi world in Split Fiction.

There are plenty of great co-op games on the market, and a lot are great for couples, but Split Fiction from Hazelight Studios is a special case. Unlike most multiplayer games, this one actually requires you to have a partner to play. Thankfully, that is easier than ever with cross-platform support and the Friend Pass, but it does mean you need to plan a bit more to make sure you both have enough time to see it through to the end. Each of the stuidio's games have gotten a bit longer, but is that the case with Split Fiction? Here's how long it takes to beat this co-op adventure.
How long is Split Fiction?

Split Fiction is roughly the same length as It Takes Two. From our experience, that puts it comfortably within the 10 to 12 hour range. However, that can easily be pushed to 12 to 15 hours depending on the skill level of both players and your ability to coordinate. Even a pair of veteran gamers who have never played a game as reliant on team work might struggle a bit early on and get slowed down.

The best Monster Hunter Wilds mods
A hunter dodges a monster in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wildsis is packed with more content than any previous game at launch. There are more weapons, armors to upgrade, and, of course, monsters to hunt. It will take a new player more than a few hours to learn all the tips and tricks, but experienced hunters can rush through the campaign and into the High Ranks fairly quickly. Either way, eventually, there will be some rough edges or aspects of the game that feel like they could be improved. Or, it might just be time for some fun additions. Modders provide nearly endless amounts of options to polish, add, and enhance the core experience. With such a popular title, there are hundreds of mods to look through. These are the best Monster Hunter Wilds mods you should try.
Shop Tweaks

Odds are most players never visit the item shop in Monster Hunter Wilds. For those who have, they know how woefully barebones the selection is. Shop Tweaks is a simple mod that gives you three options to add a much wider stock to purchase, including everything, consumables, or materials. The only things not included are tools, specific gatherables that reward you with points, and gems. This doesn't make all these items free, so you will still need cash on hand, but it will make preparing for a hunt much easier.
