If you're diving into the world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, choosing the right weapon can make a significant difference in your hunting efficiency. Even though there's no PvP to worry about, having the best weapon at your disposal can streamline your hunts. Here's a comprehensive tier list to guide you through the best weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Our tier list is meticulously crafted, focusing primarily on damage output, while also considering the versatility and utility of each weapon. It's crucial to remember that all weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are viable; the key is to choose one that resonates with your playstyle.
For instance, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage output. It's a testament to how fun and engaging certain weapons can be, regardless of their tier ranking. Below is our detailed 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 |
The Bow continues its reign from *Monster Hunter World* into *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's an easy weapon to pick up and excels at 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 stellar options in the S-Tier. The Gunlance boasts some of the highest DPS in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.
The Great Sword, despite having a low barrier to entry and the potential for the highest DPS, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and unwieldy nature. For those not willing to invest time in mastering it, S-Tier weapons might be a better choice.
In contrast, the Hunting Horn is invaluable in multiplayer settings, offering both substantial damage and essential support for your team.
The Charge Blade is another noteworthy A-Tier weapon, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. While mastering its dual modes can be challenging, it provides a rewarding and enjoyable experience in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
This concludes our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapons. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including armor sets and how to obtain Armor Spheres, be sure to visit The Escapist.
