The 14 Best Early Weapons | Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
Grabbing yourself the right weapon early is critical in any Monster Hunter title. First impressions mean a lot in games such as these, and the last thing a budding hunter needs is to be put off a weapon by swinging a dud around. We’ve written in detail about every single weapon in the early portion…
The 3 Best Early Sword and Shields | Monster Hunter World
The final weapon in our early recommendation lists is the Sword and Shield. This most supportive of Monster Hunter weapons is also by far the most unassuming, with hunters often avoiding it for fear of dealing too little damage. Nothing could be further from the truth however, because the little sword and board is capable…
The 3 Best Early Hunting Horns | Monster Hunter World
Jolly cooperation and the Hunting Horn go hand in hand in a Monster Hunter title. This most musical of melee weapons is the very embodiment of support, encouraging the hunter to share their wealth in the form of songs that buff their team members. It’s these songs that truly define the weapon, one which otherwise…
The 3 Best Early Heavy Bowguns | Monster Hunter World
For many Monster Hunter players, the Heavy Bowgun in World will feel like a bit of a downgrade. Coming from ‘Generations Ultimate with it’s Aerial and Valor mode power spikes, you might be forgiven for writing the weapon off completely. Not so fast however, for the HBG still has some might left in it. The…
The 3 Best Early Hammers | Monster Hunter World
You’ll struggle to find a Monster Hunter World weapon more focused than the Hammer. It’s sole purpose is to bludgeon the head of it’s target over and over again until it finally yields to the knock out, at which point the weapon, erm, continues to bludgeon the head? This may sound simple, but given the…
The 3 Best Early Charge Blades | Monster Hunter World
Monster Hunter games often leave early charge blade users in a difficult position. The meta for this weapon has always been to grab yourself an Impact Phial version and to aim for your opponents head, much like the hammer. Yet in every MH title the amount of weapon variation is overtly generous, especially in the…
The 3 Best Early Insect Glaives | Monster Hunter World
For us, the Insect Glaive is the weapon that most typifies the Monster Hunter series. Where other weapons take the form of melee or ranged, the Glaive encompasses both, whilst adding it’s own option to the menu: From above. This fantastic weapon manages to feel like multiple others whilst retaining it’s own identity. By turns…
The 3 Best Early LBG | Monster Hunter World
The Light Bowgun, or LBG for short, finds itself in a strange position in Monster Hunter World. It’s a fantastic weapon, able to adapt itself to any and every situation that the game world throws at it, replete with novel and interesting models and countless ammunition options. Unfortunately, in the early game at least, it’s…
The 3 Best Early Gunlances | Monster Hunter World
Monster Hunter World really changed our opinion of the Gunlance. If you’re an avid reader of our content you’ll have noticed that it occupied a very low position in our Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Tier List. There we struggled with the beast, finding it’s styles and arts very janky and gimmicky, feeling more like the…
The 3 Best Early Bows | Monster Hunter World
When it comes to accurate Bow representations, Monster Hunter has all other games beat. Well OK, maybe you can’t run up walls and shoot arrows down on an enemy from above in real life, but in terms of replicating that movie-like feeling of being an archer there really is nothing better. No sooner than you’ve…
The 3 Best Early Switch Axes | Monster Hunter World
It’s hard to beat the Switch Axe for that Monster Hunter feeling. Other weapons, such as the Long Sword or Bow, at least exhibit some sort of basis in reality, but a massive axe that you can transform into a sword, thrust into the enemy and cause explosions doesn’t quite share the same history. It’s…
The 3 Best Early Lances | Monster Hunter World
We love the Monster Hunter Lance. It’s effectiveness may rise and fall, along with it’s position in our tier lists, but it firmly remains one of our absolute favourite pieces of bone or metal to swing at our targets. There is something so very satisfying about floating in and around the danger zone of a…
