Monster Hunter Weapon Thread

What's your favorite weapon? What monster are you most excited to fight? I'm excited to see the armor from the bat monster because it's cute.
I want to try something other than the insect glaive since I've mained if for the past several games. I'm thinking about Charge Blade, Hammer or Hunting Horn, but honestly, it's hard to break away from the glaive.

Mh World or other?
4u was gunlance
Gen was sword and shield
Xx was greatsword
And world is looking like chrgeblade.
Glaive is fantastic, never checked it out in world though. Is it still just mounting heaven?

im retired fuck off sweetie mommy's tired

I really don't know all the numbers and such, but yeah. The insect Glaive is pure mounting. There's two types of air dashes, one that's just a dash and one that's a dash that ends in an attack. If you land that attack you get launched up in the air and can do it again if you have enough stamnia. It's a bit tricky to land constantly on smaller/faster monsters, but it's really fun to combo it together, especially when you have trip buff on. Which is why it's so hard for me to drop it. I just don't want to be a one trick pony

Totally understandable. I went really hard for a few games and took a long break.

I hyped the original and bought it day one. From the day it was announced. Played thousands of hours. Fuck.

Can you tell me if you can attack with the right analog stick as an option? That's the only way I buy world

Otherwise the series can fucking rot I'm done

Old fag whos last MonHun game was MHFU. Wtfs up with all this new gen shit?

My favorite setup was a Lao Shen Lung Hammer (Azure) with full pirate armor (thx NitePR).

I wanna hunt a Fatalis again, I miss that Adhoc coop. Good childhood memories

>MHFU
>Oldfag

You ain't no vet

That was my last game. I first played it on PS2. Pretty sure that makes me an oldfag

Yeah. It does. Sorry

Please answer me

Play the beta. Check the options. Can you attack with the right analog stick?

pls respond

The beta is over numb nuts, and if it wasn't you could just as easily check the options. The answer is "probably not, but why would anyone even know for sure because who the fuck cares besides you"

I absolutely adore the Switch-Axe. I mained the Lance for quite a while, and will still dabble in other weapons here and there, but fuck me, I just love the Switch-Axe something fierce.

Most excited to fight my favorite monster, Brachydios. The demo got me incredibly hype for how the monsters interact with one another, and if I see Brachydios do his charging nuke-haymaker to a monster wandering by, I will absolutely lose my shit.

asshole

>The demo got me incredibly hype for how the monsters interact with one another

I haven't played MH since the PS2 so I don't remember the name of the monster, but in the third hunt the part where the sand opens up and you and the two monsters go tumbling underground was the coolest shit I've ever seen in a video game.

wtf. I don't remember that

>CB or GS offline
>HH or DB online
>GL, Bow, or Hammer when I want a change
My fave weapon is probably HH but because you can only use it with your bros, or people that link well with the horn you're using I would think DB is my actual fave.

Why do you not use your favorites offline? Any particular reason?

RIP those people who imported the MHW Pro from Japan, holy shit they dropped this WAY too late.

I just ordered mine. I've got that and the CE to get that day.

So now I'll have an extra physical copy for no reason.

HH doesn't work solo. Well it works, but you may as well add 5-10 minutes to your timer depending on the monster/hunt, swings are too slow to make it worthwhile.

My man

I held out until December, I thought if it wasn't announced by then it wouldn't be. I ended up buying a white pro bundle. But I guess I saved some cash in the end, still a bit annoyed though.

I also bought Collectors, but just in case it arrives late I ordered another copy from a retailer that ships out early, so I expect to be playing on Wed/Thu and I'm going to gift the other copy to my brother who is joining me but can't afford the game.

I wish Akantor/Ukanos was in World, would love to see them in their actual glory. I loved the Akantor armor too, I'm a sucker for all the chunky male armors like Diablos, Gammoth etc.

Sorry didn't see your question right away. Probably not, I didn't really check when the beta was open because I was to happy being able to move the camera and aim with the right analog stick, because I play with weapons that require aim Insect Glaive, Bow etc

How would you control the camera if you were attacking with the right stick? With the shoulder buttons? Anyway there's a beta tomorrow so you can check it out but I highly doubt it.

>Anyway there's a beta tomorrow
Where the hell do you live? It's the 19th right?

It's the 19th in grorious Nippon o'clock. In my area it's January 18th at 6 PM.

It start's tomorrow.

GS, Lance, HBG and Sword and Board.

>it starts tomorrow
>clearly states 19th 2am GMT for me

Then maybe it's not scripted, which is even cooler. My friend and I were fighting the monster in the third hunt and out of fucking nowhere a huge pit opened up underneath me, a dragon jumped out and started fighting with the target, and all four of us slid into the pit and into a giant cavern below. It sounds like I'm making this up as I type it but I swear someone else can confirm this.

So is it the same beta again?

flagship fight is in it this time

Same beta but with Nergigante

>being this much of a bitch over time zones

OH FUCK

I was happy just to play the beta again with my friends, didn't know about this shit

Sounds like Diablos. He hangs out in a sandy cavern full of flashbugs.

Yeah, it must be Diablos with the sandpit and he jumps out of it to rape your ass, eventually quick-sanding back down to the cavern.

Can't wait to smack this boy up and make some sweet armor out of his corpse bits.

You can make him come up if you make too much noise while fighting or by shooting the flying monsters and letting them scream, you can use it as a free attack against any monster standing on top of it

That is some straight up WH40k Chaos Spess Muhreen stuff.
I love it

GS has been my favorite for a long time.
I prefer the early designs in the tree when it just looks like a slab of iron with some holes in it.
I don't like the sfx for it in MHW though.
Sounds like a blunt weapon to me when it should sound like it's cutting shit.

>starter weapon is the best looking one of its class
name em

So is IG good now? It got gutted in X and XX

>Lance feels cool and on point
>DS feels even more fun than before
>Gunlance has gotten actually fun to use
>Charge Blade is back to its old glory
>Switch Axe felt pretty cool this time around
>LBG really grew on me for some reason

So many weapons.....and I want to use them all. Feels like this will end like always where I take ages to finish high-rank because I keep wanting one of each weapon.

It seems to be good now. You just need to control your excitement and not stay in the air constantly. Get some good mounts in but also make sure you're using all the tri buff combos you can to maximize your dmg

Seems alright still, but I was never a fan of it.

Personally I enjoy the hunting horn. I love big slow blunt weapons, see. They're the coolest shit for me. For example, I used only kirkhammer and boom hammer in Bloodborne. Yeah, the hunting horn swings slowly so the DPS output ain't that great. But the songs give wonderful buffs and there's something particularly cool about beating monsters to death with a giant bagpipe and then playing a song to celebrate the death of your enemies.

That's how i feel and before this I had a 98% GS usage. Think I'm gunna main gunlance on release.

Same here. I've been playing 4U trying to think about what weapon I'd like to main but it's just not happening. I don't want to waste time and materials making everything at first but I probably will.

Just over a week left..

I would like to give LBG a real go in the next beta but the ammo options seem a bit overwhelming. Any advice?
