While there isn't any PvP in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, choosing the best weapons is crucial for efficient hunts. Here’s our comprehensive best weapons tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* to guide you in your selection.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our weapons tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* is based on damage output, versatility, and skills. Keep in mind that every weapon type is viable, so feel free to choose the one that resonates with you the most. For instance, I personally enjoyed using the Switch Axe throughout my journey, despite its lower damage rankings. It’s all about what feels fun to you. Let's dive into the tier list:

Charge Blade
Hunting Horn
Dual Blades
BSword and Shield
Insect Glaive
CLance
Switch Axe
Light Bowgun
Heavy Bowgun

S-Tier

The Bow has been a top performer since *Monster Hunter World* and continues its dominance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at dealing damage safely from a distance. Its skills significantly boost its DPS, making it a standout choice.

The Gunlance and Long Sword are also exceptional. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS ratings in the game, while the Long Sword is perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of parrying and countering monsters.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, despite its high DPS potential, requires mastery to unleash its full power due to its slow and unwieldy nature. It might be more practical to opt for S-Tier weapons instead.

In multiplayer, the Hunting Horn shines, offering substantial damage alongside utility and support for your team.

The Charge Blade is another A-Tier gem, providing defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes can take time, but it's incredibly rewarding and fun to use in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
