Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't feature PvP, choosing the right weapons is crucial for efficient monster hunting. Here's our comprehensive best weapons tier list to help you make the most out of your hunts.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses on raw damage output while also considering versatility and unique skills. It's important to remember that all weapon types are viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. For instance, I personally enjoyed using the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage stats, simply because it's a fun weapon to wield. Here's the breakdown:

S-Tier

The Bow continues to dominate as it did in *Monster Hunter World*, making it a top choice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at dealing damage from a safe distance, with skills that significantly boost its DPS.

The Gunlance and Long Sword are equally impressive. 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

Although the Great Sword has a low entry barrier and the potential for the highest DPS, mastering it can be challenging due to its slow and unwieldy nature. Personally, I find the S-Tier weapons more effective.

The Hunting Horn stands out in multiplayer settings, not only for its substantial damage output but also for its supportive abilities that benefit the entire team.

The Charge Blade is another excellent choice, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes might take time, but it's incredibly rewarding and fun to use in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
