While *Monster Hunter Wilds* lacks PvP, choosing the right weapons is crucial for efficient hunts. This tier list ranks *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapons based on damage, versatility, and skills. Remember, every weapon type is viable; choose what suits your playstyle.
I personally preferred the Switch Axe throughout, despite its lower damage output—it's just fun! Here's the tier list:
| Tier | Weapon |
|---|---|
| S | Bow, Gunlance, Long Sword |
| A | Great Sword, Charge Blade, Hunting Horn, Dual Blades |
| B | Sword and Shield, Insect Glaive |
| C | Lance, Switch Axe, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer |
The Bow maintains its dominance from *Monster Hunter World*, excelling at safe, long-range damage. Its skills further boost its DPS, making it a top choice. The Gunlance boasts incredibly high DPS, while the Long Sword offers parrying and counterattack capabilities.
The Great Sword, while possessing high DPS potential, requires mastery due to its slow speed. Other S-Tier weapons often outperform it. The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, offering significant damage and support for teammates. The Charge Blade's defensive capabilities and versatility make it a fun, albeit complex, option. Mastering its two modes takes time.
This concludes our *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list. Check out The Escapist for more game tips, including armor set lists and Armor Sphere acquisition guides.
