Monster Hunter Wilds has a total of fourteen weapon types for players to choose from. With so many to decide from, there is sure to be a type of weapon that fits each kind of player and, with Monster Hunter Wilds being the first game in the franchise to allow players to equip two, they can be more versatile about how they approach the monsters in the sixth generation of the franchise.

Dual Blades

Rapid Attacks To Break Monsters Quickly

While Dual Blades may appear to do quite a small amount of damage, those who become heavily skilled with this weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds have the potential to break multiple parts at once. As an agile weapon, the Dual Blades benefit from a quick and nimble player who knows how to evade getting hit.

By doing enough damage, the player can activate Demon Mode with the Dual Blades, which heavily boosts the amount of damage done by the player when they attack. This is a great moment to lay waste to a monster’s parts, as these hits are made much quicker.

7

Sword And Shield

Can Do Both Blunt And Slicing Damage

Players who are new to the Monster Hunter franchise or are looking for a weapon with more versatility should look no further than the Sword and Shield. This weapon is great for those looking for maneuverability as well as being able to block.

While most weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds can either do severing damage or blunt damage, the Sword and Shield can do both. While the majority of attacks may be done with the sword, the player can also attack with their shield to do a decent amount of blunt damage that may break parts that are weak to it. Using Focus Hits with this weapon can also greatly help with breaking parts of a monster.

Hunting Horn

A Blunt Weapon That Boosts The Player

With only a few of the weapons doing Blunt damage, the Hunting Horn is another weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds that players should consider using if they wish to focus on breaking parts of a monster. While it may seem a little odd to use a musical instrument as a weapon, the Hunting Horn is sturdy enough to happily be swung into the face of a monster.

Gunlance

Explosive Shells Can Break Parts

Ranged weaponry is another potential avenue for players in the Monster Hunter franchise. Not every weapon in the game requires the player to be up close and personal to deal a decent amount of damage. Those who like to mix it up on the field may enjoy using the Gunlance.

Although this weapon does require the player to be closer to using the lance part of the weapon, shooting the monster with explosive rounds can happily be done at a distance. These explosive shots can do a decent amount of damage which, when used to target various parts of a monster, can easily break them.

4

Long Sword

Made For Severing Parts Off Of Monsters

The main premise of the Long Sword is usually to sever parts off of a monster. This may be the tail of many of the monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds or the multiple arms seen on the Cephalopod-type monsters that have newly been introduced in this game in the franchise.

Besides this, the Long Sword can do so much more, as charging the spirit gauge to max for the sword and then emptying it with an epic attack that makes multiple hits across the entirety of the monster can deal a lot of damage that can break so much more than simply its tail.

3

Bow

Rapid Shot Can Break Parts Easily

Ranged weaponry in Monster Hunter isn’t just guns, as the bow is another great, ranged option for players looking to break parts. As this bow can not only shoot a variety of elemental shots such as blast ammo, which is great for picking off parts of a monster, it also has some impressive attacks.

Rapid Shot is a must-use for any player with a bow, as charging up this attack when facing the head of the monster can hit the enemy for multiple shots that deal damage all the way down the monster. These hits are sure to break some parts as they crackle across it.

2

Great Sword

It Performs Slow But Powerful Hits

The long sword isn’t the only weapon recommended when wishing to sever parts of a monster. As seen in the Field Guide for Large Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, the Great Sword is heavily recommended for cutting off various parts of different monsters.

This is not only due to its sharpness but also due to it being one of the most damaging weapons in the game. Although the Great Sword is quite slow, each hit from this weapon packs quite the punch that will see a monster’s tail cut swiftly off in far fewer hits than many of the other weapons, as well as doing a decent amount of damage to the rest of the monster too.

1

Hammer

Charged Attacks Do Even More Damage To Monsters

Out of all the available weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, those who wish to focus on breaking the various parts of the monsters successfully should look no further than the Hammer. This blunt damage weapon is perfect for breaking through the sturdy armor of many of the monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, especially when they get to the point of facing the likes of Gravios, which has sturdy armor across its body.

As seen in the Large Monster guide, the Hammer is recommended when targeting specific parts of a monster and therefore will have a much easier time destroying those parts. Other than this, charging up attacks will do a powerful amount of damage, which can then break the other parts of the monster.
