S-Tier

The Bow maintains its dominance from *Monster Hunter World*, excelling at ranged damage and boasting high DPS thanks to its skill synergy. The Gunlance currently boasts some of the highest DPS in the game. The Long Sword offers strong parrying and counterattack capabilities.

A-Tier

The Great Sword, while possessing high DPS potential, requires mastery due to its slow and unwieldy nature. Other S-Tier options often prove more efficient. The Hunting Horn shines in multiplayer, offering substantial damage and valuable support for teammates. The Charge Blade is versatile, incorporating defensive capabilities, but mastering its dual modes takes time.
