Even though *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't feature PvP, choosing the right weapon is crucial for efficient monster hunts. To guide you in making the best choice, here's our comprehensive weapons tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List
Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses primarily on damage output, while also considering versatility and skills. It's worth noting that all weapon types in the game are viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. For instance, I personally preferred the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage output—it's just incredibly fun to use. Now, let's dive into 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 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 safely from a distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice.
The Gunlance and Long Sword are also top-tier options. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS numbers in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy parrying and counterattacking monsters.
A-Tier
The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, has a steep learning curve due to its slow and unwieldy nature. It's often more practical to opt for an S-Tier weapon instead.
The Hunting Horn is exceptional in multiplayer settings, providing not only significant damage but also valuable utility and support for your team.
The Charge Blade is another A-Tier weapon worth exploring, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes can be challenging but rewarding, making it one of the more enjoyable weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
