In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, where there isn't any PvP, choosing the right weapon is crucial for efficient monster hunts. To help you select the best tools for the job, we've created a 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 choose the one that resonates with you the most. Personally, I favored the Switch Axe throughout, despite its lower damage stats, simply because it's 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 continues its reign from *Monster Hunter World* into *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's easy to pick up and excels in dealing damage from a safe distance. Its skills significantly boost its DPS, making it a top choice for many hunters.
The Gunlance and Long Sword are also exceptional in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS values in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of parrying and countering monster attacks.
A-Tier
The Great Sword, despite its low barrier to entry and potential for the highest DPS, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and unwieldy nature. For beginners, any S-Tier weapon might be a more practical choice.
The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, offering both substantial damage and valuable support to your team. It's an excellent choice for those looking to enhance group dynamics.
The Charge Blade is another A-Tier contender, notable for its defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering the switch between its modes can take time, but it's one of the most engaging weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
This concludes our current *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list. For more in-depth tips and information on the game, including details on all armor sets and how to acquire Armor Spheres, be sure to check out The Escapist.
