This Monster Hunter Wilds weapon tier list ranks weapons based on raw damage output, versatility, and skill synergy. Remember, all weapon types are viable; choose what suits your playstyle.

This list prioritizes damage, but factors in usability and skill potential.

S-Tier:

The Bow maintains its dominance from Monster Hunter World, offering high damage from a safe distance and strong skill synergy for increased DPS. The Gunlance boasts incredibly high DPS, while the Long Sword excels with its parry and counterattack capabilities.

A-Tier:

The Great Sword possesses the highest potential DPS but demands significant mastery due to its slow, unwieldy nature. Consider S-tier weapons as potentially easier alternatives. The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, offering substantial damage and crucial support for teammates. The Charge Blade provides defensive options and versatility, though mastering its dual modes requires practice.
