Top Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Tier List

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while there's no PvP, choosing the right weapon can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. Here’s our comprehensive best weapons tier list to guide you through your choices, ensuring you pick a weapon that not only performs well but also resonates with your playstyle.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* is crafted considering damage output, versatility, and the unique skills each weapon brings to the table. It's worth noting that every weapon in the game is viable, so feel free to choose the one that you enjoy the most. For instance, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage ranking, simply because it's incredibly fun to use. Below is our detailed tier list to help you make an informed decision.

S-Tier

The Bow continues to dominate, much like in *Monster Hunter World*, and is a standout choice in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly, allowing you to deal significant damage from a safe distance, and its skills further enhance its DPS, making it an excellent top-tier pick.

The Gunlance and Long Sword also secure their spots in S-Tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS numbers in the game, making it a powerhouse in combat. Meanwhile, the Long Sword excels with its ability to parry and counter, offering a dynamic and rewarding playstyle.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, while boasting the highest potential DPS, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and cumbersome nature. It's a challenging weapon to wield effectively, and you might find the S-Tier weapons more rewarding for consistent performance.

The Hunting Horn is a stellar choice for multiplayer, not only for its solid damage output but also for the utility and support it provides to your team, enhancing group dynamics during hunts.

The Charge Blade is another A-Tier weapon worth considering, offering a blend of offense and defense. It can be complex to master, especially when switching between its modes, but it provides a deeply engaging experience in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
