Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Tier List (Best Weapons to Use)

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* lacks PvP, choosing the right weapons is crucial for efficient hunting. This tier list ranks *Monster Hunter Wilds* weapons based on damage, versatility, and skills. Remember, all weapon types are viable; choose what suits your playstyle.
I personally preferred the Switch Axe throughout, despite its lower damage output—it's just fun! Here's the tier list:
| 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 maintains its dominance from *Monster Hunter World*, excelling at safe, long-range damage. Its skills further boost its DPS, making it a top choice. The Gunlance boasts incredibly high DPS, while the Long Sword offers parrying and counterattack capabilities.
A-Tier
The Great Sword, despite high potential DPS, requires significant skill due to its slow, unwieldy nature. S-Tier weapons often surpass it. The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, offering substantial damage and crucial support for teammates. The Charge Blade provides defensive options and versatile gameplay, though mastering its dual modes takes time.
