Mastering the Pause Function in Monster Hunter Wilds
While Monster Hunter Wilds shines brightest in collaborative online gameplay, solo adventurers also deserve a break. This guide explains how to pause the game, both solo and in multiplayer.
Pausing During Solo Quests and Hunts
To pause your single-player game, access the menu using the Options button. Navigate to the Systems tab (using L1 or R1), then select "Pause Game" with the X button. Resume gameplay by pressing the circle button or R3. This pause function is invaluable for handling real-life interruptions during hunts or combat.
Multiplayer Pause Limitations
Unfortunately, pausing is unavailable in multiplayer sessions. If other players are in your lobby or party, the pause option will be disabled. In such situations, strategically position your character in a safe location to avoid taking damage while briefly attending to something else. Remember, monster health pools increase with more players, so extended AFK periods may hinder your team.
