In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while there's no PvP, selecting the best weapons can significantly enhance your hunting efficiency. Here's a detailed best weapons tier list to guide you in choosing the right tool for your hunts.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Weapons Tier List

Our tier list for *Monster Hunter Wilds* is crafted with a focus on damage output, yet it also considers weapon versatility and skill sets. It's crucial to understand that every weapon in the game is viable, and the best choice often comes down to personal preference. For instance, I personally favored the Switch Axe throughout my playthrough, despite its lower damage ranking, simply because it's incredibly fun to use. Let's dive into the tier list.

S-Tier

The Bow has maintained its dominance from *Monster Hunter World* into *Monster Hunter Wilds*. It's user-friendly and excels at safely dealing damage from a distance. Its skills enhance its DPS, making it a top choice.

The Gunlance and Long Sword also stand out in this tier. The Gunlance boasts one of the highest DPS values currently in the game, while the Long Sword is excellent for those looking to parry and counter monsters effectively.

A-Tier

While the Great Sword has a low barrier to entry and the potential for the highest DPS, mastering it requires significant skill due to its slow and cumbersome nature. In practice, opting for an S-Tier weapon might be more beneficial.

The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer settings, offering not only substantial damage but also valuable support and utility for your team.

The Charge Blade is another compelling choice, offering defensive capabilities and versatility. It takes time to master, especially in switching between its modes, but it's one of the more enjoyable weapons to wield in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
