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 |
S-Tier
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.
A-Tier
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.
