Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List
Our tier list is meticulously designed, focusing primarily on damage output while also considering the versatility and unique skills of each weapon. It's worth noting that every weapon in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is viable, so your choice should ultimately be guided by personal preference and playstyle.
For example, I personally preferred the Switch Axe throughout my journey, despite its lower damage ranking. It's just incredibly fun to use! Now, let's dive into our 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 has been a dominant force since *Monster Hunter World* and continues to excel in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at dealing damage from a safe distance. Its skills significantly boost its DPS, making it a top choice for many players.
The Gunlance and Long Sword are also stellar options. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS numbers currently in the game, while the Long Sword is ideal for players who enjoy the thrill of parrying and countering monster attacks.
A-Tier
While the Great Sword has a low barrier to entry and the potential for the highest DPS, mastering it can be challenging due to its slow and cumbersome nature. In many cases, the S-Tier weapons might be more rewarding for beginners.
The Hunting Horn stands out in multiplayer settings. It not only delivers solid damage but also offers significant utility and support, enhancing the performance of your hunting party.
The Charge Blade is another noteworthy weapon in this tier. It offers defensive capabilities and versatility, making it a fun and rewarding choice once you master switching between its two modes.
That wraps up our *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list for now. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including a comprehensive list of all armor sets and how to acquire Armor Spheres, be sure to visit The Escapist.
