Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

S-Tier

Bow

The Bow has consistently been a powerhouse since Monster Hunter World and remains dominant in Monster Hunter Wilds. Its ability to deal damage from a safe distance, combined with its easy-to-pick-up mechanics and supportive skills, makes it an ideal choice for both solo and team hunts.

Gunlance

With some of the highest DPS stats in the game, the Gunlance is a force to be reckoned with. Its versatility lies in its ability to deal consistent damage while maintaining a strong defense with shield bash attacks.

Long Sword

This weapon shines when you’re looking to combine offensive prowess with defensive capabilities. Its parrying system allows you to counter monsters effectively, making it a reliable choice for skilled hunters.

A-Tier

Great Sword

Though it boasts the highest potential DPS, the Great Sword demands exceptional skill to reach that peak. Its sluggish movement and slower attack speed often lead players to prefer the S-Tier weapons for smoother gameplay.

Hunting Horn

A multiplayer favorite, the Hunting Horn offers both significant damage and invaluable support. From buffing teammates to healing allies, it’s an essential tool for coordinated hunts.

Charge Blade

Combining offense and defense, the Charge Blade is a dynamic weapon that requires practice to master. Switching between its two forms—axe and sword—is crucial, but the payoff is immense. It’s one of the most entertaining weapons in the game.
