Best Weapons are the Great Sword and Bow

The best weapon type to use in Monster Hunter Wilds are the Great Sword and the Bow. Both of these weapons are slightly more difficult to use than other weapon types, but these produce overwhelming firepower.

The Great Sword has high firepower due to its True Charge Slash and allows you to guard against a monster's attacks.

On the other hand, the Bow also has high firepower when using Focus Fire: Hailstorm after applying a wound on a monster and the Tracer ability allows you to stick a Tracer arrow on a monster and have subsequent arrows home in on it.
