Monster Hunter Wilds showcases the Heavy Bowgun

As a seasoned Monster Hunter veteran with countless hours spent tracking down fearsome beasts across various iterations of this beloved series, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation upon witnessing the latest Heavy Bowgun trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds. The Heavy Bowgun has always been my go-to weapon in times of need, its thunderous roar and devastating power echoing through countless victories and close calls alike.


Preparing for a significant update on Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom has shared another detailed trailer showcasing one of the game’s 14 weapon categories: the Heavy Bowgun. Known for its massive size, this weapon combines power with a protective shield, along with the signature Ignition Mode, as seen in the video.

In contrast to yesterday’s Great Sword demonstration, discerning the distinct changes with the Heavy Bowgun proves more challenging – however, the introduction of Focus Mode actions certainly stands out. Just like every weapon in Wilds, Focus Mode enables you to hone in on specific enemy vulnerabilities, much like the clutch claw in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne did by softening up certain monster parts.

In the Monster Hunter series, Heavy Bowgun is consistently a formidable choice among the three ranged weapons, particularly when wielded by an experienced player. It’s reasonable to expect this trend to continue in Monster Hunter Wilds. We’ll have to observe its performance more closely once the complete game is launched.

Monster Hunter Wilds launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) next year.
