While there isn't any PvP in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, selecting the best weapons can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. Here’s our curated best weapons tier list to guide you through your choices in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses on damage output while also considering versatility and skills. It's crucial to remember that all weapon types in the game are viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. Personally, I've found joy in using the Switch Axe throughout the game, despite its lower damage rankings. It's all about finding a weapon that feels right for you. 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 |
The Bow continues 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 for many hunters.
Both the Gunlance and Long Sword also stand out in the S-Tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS numbers in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.
The Great Sword, despite having the potential for the highest DPS, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and cumbersome nature. It's often better to opt for an S-Tier weapon for ease of use.
In multiplayer, the Hunting Horn shines, not just for its damage output but also for the support and utility it offers to teammates.
The Charge Blade is another excellent A-Tier weapon, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its two modes can be challenging but incredibly rewarding, making it one of the most enjoyable weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
That wraps up our *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list. For more tips and in-depth information, including a comprehensive list of all armor sets and how to obtain Armor Spheres, be sure to visit The Escapist.
