In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while there isn't any PvP, choosing the best weapons is crucial for efficient hunts. Here's our comprehensive best weapons tier list to guide you through your choices and help you dominate those monster encounters.
Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List
Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses on pure damage output, but also considers versatility and skills. Remember, every weapon in the game is viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. For example, I personally enjoyed using the Switch Axe throughout my playtime, despite its lower damage ranking—it's just incredibly fun to use. Here’s 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 |
S-Tier
The Bow continues to dominate as it did in *Monster Hunter World*, proving itself as the go-to weapon in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's easy to pick up and excels at dealing damage from a safe distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice for many hunters.
The Gunlance and Long Sword also stand out in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS numbers 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 may have the highest DPS potential, but mastering its slow and unwieldy nature can be challenging. It might be better to opt for S-Tier weapons if you're looking for a more straightforward experience.
The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer sessions, offering not only solid damage but also crucial support and utility for your team. It's an excellent choice for cooperative play.
Don't overlook the Charge Blade; its defensive capabilities and versatility make it a rewarding weapon to master. Switching between its modes takes time to learn, but the payoff is well worth it, making it one of the most enjoyable weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
