In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, although there's no PvP, choosing the right weapon can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. To help you make the best choice, we've compiled a detailed weapons tier list, focusing on damage output, versatility, and skills. Remember, all weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are viable, so select the one that resonates with you the most. For instance, despite the Switch Axe's lower damage numbers, I found it incredibly enjoyable to use throughout my playtime.
Our tier list categorizes weapons based on their effectiveness in various aspects of the game. Here's how they stack up:
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 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.
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*.
This wraps up our *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including a complete list of armor sets and how to acquire Armor Spheres, be sure to visit The Escapist.
