TheMonster Hunterseries has a reputation for its wide array of impressive weaponry, andMonster Hunter: Worldwill be no exception. With your character’s abilities tied exclusively to equipment rather than a traditional RPG levelling system, picking the right weapon for your foray into monster hunting is particularly important.
Monster Hunter: Worlddivides its many weapons into 3 different categories, with a total of 14 different types of weapon for players to choose from. Those three categories are Light, Heavy, and Technical, while the 14 types themselves are covered in more detail below. Each weapon has plenty of different traits and attributes to separate it from the others, but one of the most important distinctions is the difference between Cutting and Impact weapons. Put simply, Cutting weapons do increased damage against a monster’s softer, vulnerable spots, and also sever body parts, while Impact weapons are more likely to knock a monster down.

Technical Weapons:

Certainly, thefirst handful of reviews have been very positive, and the new title, which is the firstMonster Hunterrelease for the current generation of consoles, seems likely to have a positive reception from series fans and newcomers alike.
