Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List Guide

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't feature PvP, selecting the best weapons remains crucial for efficient hunting. Here's our comprehensive weapons tier list to help you make the most informed choice for your hunts.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses on damage output, versatility, and skills. It's worth noting that every weapon is viable, so choose the one that resonates with you. For example, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage rankings, simply because it's incredibly fun to use. Below is our detailed tier list:

S-Tier

The Bow continues its reign from *Monster Hunter World* into *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at dealing damage safely from a distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice.

The Gunlance and Long Sword also shine in S-Tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the game's highest DPS outputs, while the Long Sword is excellent for players who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, has a steeper learning curve due to its slow and unwieldy nature. Mastering it might not be as efficient as using S-Tier weapons.

The Hunting Horn is a standout in multiplayer, offering not only significant damage but also valuable support for your team.

The Charge Blade is a versatile choice, with defensive capabilities and a fun, challenging gameplay style as you switch between its modes.
