A weapon's Attack value can be used to compute how much damage you will deal in Monster Hunter Wilds. Learn more about how Attack works, what Bloat Value is, and how it affects your damage here!

What is Attack?
Used to Calculate Raw Damage
| Raw Damage Calculation |
|---|
| ((Attack/ Bloat Value) × Sharpness Modifier × (Motion Value / 100) × (Hitzone Value / 100) × Quest and Rage Modifier) x Critical Modifiers
= Raw Damage |
A weapon's Attack is used to compute the amount of Raw Damage that your weapon can deal whenever you perform specific attacks. By plugging your weapon's attack into the equation above, you can compute how much damage an attack or combo can deal on a monster.
After computing an attack's Raw Damage, it is then added to the Elemental Damage that the weapon deals (if any) to calculate the total damage you deal to a monster.
Exaggerated by Bloat Value
Bloat Values exaggerate a weapon's Attack, making some weapons look more powerful than others. Fast attacking weapons like the Bow, for example, have a lower Bloat Value, while the Hammer has the highest Bloat Value in the game.
Each Weapon Has a Different Bloat Value
| Weapon | Bloat | Weapon | Bloat |
|---|---|---|---|
 Sword & Shield |
1.4 |  Great Sword |
4.8 |
 Dual Blades |
1.4 |  Long Sword |
3.3 |
 Hammer |
5.2 |  Lance |
2.3 |
 Hunting Horn |
4.2 |  Gunlance |
2.3 |
 Charge Blade |
3.6 |  Switch Axe |
3.5 |
 Insect Glaive |
3.1 |  Bow |
1.2 |
 Light Bowgun |
1.3 |  Heavy Bowgun |
1.5 |
To get a weapon's True Raw attack, you must divide its displayed Attack by the weapon's Bloat Value. A 480 Attack Greatsword, for example, will have a True Raw of 100 (480 divided by 4.8), while a 480 Attack Bow will have a True Raw of 400 (480 divided by 1.2).
Disable Bloat Value in Settings
| Steps to Disable Bloat Value | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Access the game menu and press options |
| 2 |  Go to the 3rd page of the options menu |
| 3 |  An option called Weapon Attack Power Display will be sitting at the bottom of the 3rd page |
| 4 |  The screen's right hand-side will present two options. Choose Display Without Coefficient to see your damage numbers without bloat! |
Follow these steps to disable coefficients in game. Disabling coefficients will display your weapon's true base power.
What Affects Attack?
Food Buffs Can Increase Attack
By eating food in your camp, specifically those with Meat as the main Ration, you will be able to get an Attack buff that can last for up to 50 minutes.
Additionally, unlike in previous games, food buffs now remain even after fainting.
Specific Armor Skills Can Buff Attack
Some Armor Skills, such as Agitator or Doshaguma's Might (activated by equipping 2 or 4 pieces of Doshaguma Armor) can also increase your Attack.
Certain Items Increase Attack
Items like the Demondrug, Mega Demondrug, or Demon Powder can increase your attack upon use. This Attack increase is temporary. These items can be crafted using the key ingredient Might Seed.
The Powercharm is a unique item that increases your attack just by having it in your inventory.
List of All Items and Materials
Demon Ammo Provides Attack Buffs
The Demon Ammo is a special ammo for the Light Bowgun and Heavy Bowgun that can buff you and your team's Attack. Unlike in previous game, where you had to shoot other hunters with the Demon Ammo to buff them, you now only have to shoot the ground, with the Demon Ammo buffing everyone standing near where it landed.
