Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List Guide

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't feature PvP, choosing the right weapon is crucial for efficient hunts. Here’s our comprehensive tier list of the best weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds* to help you dominate your hunts.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our weapons tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* is primarily based on damage output, but also considers versatility and skill utility. It's worth noting that every weapon type is viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. For instance, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage ranking, simply because it's incredibly fun to use. Here’s the detailed tier list:

S-Tier

The Bow has been a dominant force since *Monster Hunter World* and continues to excel in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's easy to pick up and allows you to deal damage safely from a distance. Its skills significantly boost its DPS, making it a top choice.

The Gunlance and Long Sword are also stellar options in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS values in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.

A-Tier

Although the Great Sword has a low barrier to entry and offers the highest DPS potential, mastering it can be challenging due to its slow and cumbersome nature. In many cases, opting for an S-Tier weapon might be more beneficial.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer scenarios, delivering significant damage while providing essential support and utility to your team.

The Charge Blade is another excellent choice, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. It requires some time to master, particularly in switching between its two modes, but it's one of the most enjoyable weapons to use in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
