S-Tier Weapons:

  • Bow: Maintains its dominance from Monster Hunter World, offering high damage from a safe distance. Easy to learn and boasts strong DPS boosting skills.
  • Gunlance: Currently boasts one of the highest DPS values in the game.
  • Long Sword: Excellent for parrying and countering monster attacks.

A-Tier Weapons:

  • Great Sword: Highest potential DPS, but requires significant skill to master due to its slow, unwieldy nature. S-Tier weapons often outperform it.
  • Hunting Horn: Exceptional for multiplayer, offering high damage and significant support for teammates.
  • Charge Blade: Versatile with defensive capabilities. Mastering its two modes takes practice, but it's highly rewarding.

B & C-Tier Weapons: These weapons are still effective, but generally fall behind S and A-tier options in terms of overall performance.
