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 every weapon in the game is 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, simply because it's incredibly fun to use. Now, let's dive into 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 |

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 ideal for those who enjoy parrying and countering monster attacks.
A-Tier
The Great Sword, while having a low barrier to entry and the potential for the highest DPS, requires significant skill to master due to its slow and unwieldy nature. In many cases, opting for an S-Tier weapon might be more beneficial.
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*.
