In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while there isn't any player-versus-player action, selecting the best weapons is crucial for efficient hunts. Here’s a detailed tier list of the best weapons to help you maximize your hunting prowess.

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 skills each weapon offers. It's essential to remember that all weapon types in the game are viable, so choose the one that resonates with you the most.

Personally, I stuck with the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage rankings. It's a fun weapon to wield. Without further ado, let's dive into the tier list.

S-Tier

The Bow has been a dominant force since *Monster Hunter World* and continues to excel in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at dealing damage from a safe distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice.

The Gunlance and Long Sword are also exceptional. 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, despite its high DPS potential, has a steep learning curve due to its slow and unwieldy nature. Mastering it can be challenging, and many find the S-Tier weapons more rewarding.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer settings, offering significant damage alongside utility and support for your team.

The Charge Blade is another noteworthy option, providing defensive capabilities and versatility. Mastering its dual modes can be time-consuming but rewarding, making it one of the more enjoyable weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
