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.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more
I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) Review: Almost everything I want from a gaming laptop, except the price
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop

Quick Take

Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
