S-Tier Weapons: Top Performers

The Bow, a consistent top performer since Monster Hunter World, maintains its dominance in Wilds. Its safe ranged attacks and damage-boosting skills make it a top choice for ease of use and high DPS.

The Gunlance boasts some of the game's highest DPS, while the Long Sword offers excellent parry and counterattack capabilities for skilled players.

A-Tier Weapons: Strong Contenders

The Great Sword possesses the highest DPS potential, but its slow speed and demanding skill curve make S-Tier weapons often preferable. Mastering its unwieldy nature is crucial to unlock its full power.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, providing significant damage alongside crucial support and utility for teammates.

The Charge Blade is a versatile option with defensive capabilities. While mastering its two modes takes time, it's a rewarding and fun weapon to use.
