Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List

Even though *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't feature PvP, choosing the right weapon can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. To aid you in making the best choice, here's our 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 but also considers versatility and weapon skills. It's worth noting that all weapon types in the game are viable, so choose the one that resonates with you. For instance, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage output. It's just incredibly fun to use. Here's how the weapons stack up:

S-Tier

The Bow continues its dominance from *Monster Hunter World* into *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's easy to pick up and excels in delivering damage from a safe distance. Its skills further enhance its DPS, making it a top choice.

Both the Gunlance and Long Sword are exceptional in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS values in the game, while the Long Sword is ideal for players who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.

A-Tier

While the Great Sword has a low barrier to entry and the potential for the highest DPS, mastering it is challenging due to its slow and unwieldy nature. For most players, the S-Tier weapons might be more rewarding to use.

The Hunting Horn stands out in multiplayer, offering substantial damage alongside valuable support and utility for your team.

The Charge Blade is another noteworthy A-Tier weapon, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes can take time, but it's one of the most enjoyable weapons to wield in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
