Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List Guide

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 tools for your adventures, we've compiled a comprehensive weapons tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses primarily on damage output, while also considering versatility and the unique skills each weapon brings to the table. It's crucial to understand that every weapon in the game is viable, so your choice should ultimately reflect your personal playstyle and preference.

For instance, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage ranking. It's a fun weapon to wield, and that enjoyment is what matters most. Now, let's dive into the tier list:

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 continues its reign 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.

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 ideal for those who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and unwieldy nature. For beginners, the S-Tier weapons might be more accessible and effective.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer scenarios, offering not only solid damage but also valuable support and utility for your team.

The Charge Blade is another A-Tier weapon worth exploring. It offers defensive capabilities and versatility, though mastering its dual modes can take time. It's one of the more engaging weapons to use in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

This concludes our *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including guides on armor sets and how to acquire Armor Spheres, be sure to visit The Escapist.
