Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while there isn't any PvP, selecting the right weapon can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. To guide you through your choices, we've put together a comprehensive best 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 skills. It's crucial to understand that every weapon type in the game is viable, so choosing a weapon should be about what feels right for you. For instance, I've always preferred the Switch Axe, despite its lower damage output, simply because it's a blast 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 straightforward to master and excels at dealing damage from a safe distance. Its skills further enhance its DPS, making it a top choice.

The Gunlance and Long Sword also shine in this tier. The Gunlance boasts some of the highest DPS in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy parrying and countering monsters.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, can be challenging due to its slow and unwieldy nature. Mastering it might not be as rewarding as using an S-Tier weapon.

The Hunting Horn is invaluable in multiplayer, not just for its damage output but also for the support it provides to your team.

The Charge Blade offers great defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its two modes can be time-consuming but is incredibly rewarding and fun within *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

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