In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, even though there's no PvP, choosing the right weapon can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. To guide you in selecting the best weapon for your hunts, we've compiled a comprehensive tier list of the best weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List
Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* is primarily based on damage output, but it also considers weapon versatility and associated skills. Remember, every weapon type in the game is viable, so choose the one that resonates with you the most. For example, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playtime, despite its lower damage ranking, simply because it's incredibly fun to use. 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 |
S-Tier
The Bow has maintained its dominance from *Monster Hunter World* into *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at dealing damage from a safe distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice. The Gunlance and Long Sword also stand out in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS values in the game, while the Long Sword offers excellent parrying and countering capabilities against monsters.
A-Tier
The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, has a steeper learning curve due to its slow and unwieldy nature. It might be more practical to opt for S-Tier weapons instead. Conversely, the Hunting Horn is exceptional in multiplayer scenarios, providing both substantial damage and supportive utilities for your team. The Charge Blade is another noteworthy option, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes can be challenging, but it's one of the most engaging weapons to use in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
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, make sure to visit The Escapist.
