Monster Hunter Wilds: Top Weapon Tier List

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* lacks PvP, choosing the right weapons is crucial for efficient hunts. This tier list ranks *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapons based on damage, versatility, and skills. Remember, every weapon type is viable; choose what suits your playstyle best.

I personally preferred the Switch Axe throughout, despite its lower damage output—it's just fun! Here's the tier list:

TierWeapon
SBow, Gunlance, Long Sword
AGreat Sword, Charge Blade, Hunting Horn, Dual Blades
BSword and Shield, Insect Glaive
CLance, Switch Axe, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer

S-Tier

The Bow maintains its dominance from *Monster Hunter World*, offering safe, long-range damage and excellent DPS-boosting skills. The Gunlance boasts some of the game's highest DPS, while the Long Sword excels with its parry and counter capabilities.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, despite high DPS potential, demands mastery due to its slow speed. Other S-Tier options often outperform it. The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, providing significant damage and crucial support for teammates. The Charge Blade offers defensive capabilities and versatility, though mastering its two modes takes time.
