New Weapons in MHRise

Are There New Weapons Coming in MHRise?

While we would love to see more weapons in MHRise, there are currently no announcements about new weapons in the game. An addition doesn't seem likely at this point, but we're keeping our eyes peeled in future DLCs!

It might be hard to imagine new weapons added into the roster, but there were weapons that existed in spin-off Monster Hunter games that never made it into the main games. There was the Tonfa, the Magnet Spike, the Accel Axe, and the Medium Bowgun.

Which weapon would you like to see in MHRise?
