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 selecting the best weapon for your adventures, we've compiled a comprehensive tier list of the best weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* focuses primarily on damage output, while also considering versatility and the unique skills each weapon brings to the table. It's crucial to remember 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 a fun weapon to use, and enjoyment is key in any game. Now, let's dive into the tier list:

Gunlance
Long Sword

Charge Blade
Hunting Horn
Dual Blades
BSword and Shield
Insect Glaive

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 for many hunters.

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 perfect 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 cumbersome nature. It's often more practical to opt for an S-Tier weapon instead.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer settings, 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 to wield in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

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