How to unlock MHR Sunbreak Switch Skills

There are three Switch Skills for each weapon type in Sunbreak. They are unlocked as hunters progress through the story.

The first set of skills is given to hunters during the tutorial mission. After speaking with Arena Master Arlow in Elgado, Master Utsushi will appear and teach hunters the Switch Skill Swap technique and give that first set of skills.

Upon reaching Master Rank 4 and completing two hunts in this rank, Master Utsushi will request the hunter's audience back in Kamura Village. This will unlock the second and third sets of Switch Skills.
