Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, even though there's no PvP, choosing the right weapon can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. To guide you in making the best choice, we've compiled a 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 the unique skills each weapon brings to the table. It's crucial to understand that all weapon types in the game are 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. It's just incredibly fun to use. Now, let's dive into the 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 from a safe distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice for many players.

The Gunlance and Long Sword also stand out in this tier. 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

The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and unwieldy nature. It might be more practical to opt for an S-Tier weapon instead.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer scenarios, offering not only solid damage but also valuable support and utility for your team.

The Charge Blade is another excellent choice, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes can be challenging but rewarding, making it one of the most enjoyable weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

That wraps up our *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapon tier list. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including guides on all armor sets and how to obtain Armor Spheres, be sure to visit The Escapist.
