Can You Check Weapon Popularity In-Game?

No In-Game Popularity Stat

Unlike the previous mainline entry in the series, Monster Hunter Worlds, there are no currently known possible way to check which weapons are the most popular in-game.

In the previous entry, you can talk to the First Wyverian and he'll give bits and pieces of information regarding general hunter's weapon choices, etc.
