In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, even though there's no PvP, selecting the right weapons can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. To guide you in choosing the best weapons, we've compiled a comprehensive tier list based on damage output, versatility, and skills. Keep in mind that all weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. Personally, I found the Switch Axe to be incredibly enjoyable, despite its lower damage ranking. Below is our detailed tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapons.
| Tier | Weapon |
|---|---|
| S | Bow Gunlance Long Sword |
| A | Great Sword Charge Blade Hunting Horn Dual Blades |
| B | Sword and Shield Insect Glaive |
| C | Lance Switch Axe Light Bowgun Heavy Bowgun Hammer |
S-Tier
The Bow has been a dominant force since *Monster Hunter World* and continues its reign in *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 rank highly. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS numbers in the game, while the Long Sword is ideal for players looking to parry and counter monsters effectively.
A-Tier
While the Great Sword has a low entry barrier and the highest DPS potential, mastering it is challenging due to its slow and unwieldy nature. In comparison, S-Tier weapons might be more practical. The Hunting Horn is exceptional for multiplayer, offering both significant damage and valuable support for your team. The Charge Blade is also noteworthy for its defensive capabilities and versatility, though mastering its dual modes takes time. It remains one of the most engaging weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
