Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list categorizes weapons based on their effectiveness in various aspects of the game. Here's how they stack up:

S-Tier

The Bow has been a dominant force since *Monster Hunter World* and continues to excel in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Its ease of use and ability to deal damage from a safe distance, coupled with skills that boost its DPS, make it a top choice. The Gunlance and Long Sword also shine in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS outputs in the game, while the Long Sword offers the ability to parry and counter monsters effectively.

A-Tier

While the Great Sword offers the highest DPS potential, mastering it can be challenging due to its slow and unwieldy nature. For many, the S-Tier weapons might be more practical. The Hunting Horn is invaluable in multiplayer settings, not just for its damage but for the utility and support it provides to fellow hunters. The Charge Blade, with its defensive capabilities and the need to master switching between modes, is both versatile and fun to use in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
