#gunlance
Gunlance is one of my favorite weapons now. I think it even surpassed long sword in number of hunts I've taken it on. Pokey bang go brr.

I've been playing a metric fuck ton of monster hunter wilds recently and it's been pretty fun. learning weapons that aren't greatsword or charge blade has been a good time. gunlance is goofy.

Still pissed rey dau didn't get a gunlance, it would've made perfect sense with the Wyverns Fire attack

My first monster hunter was 4u and I started with switch axe and charge blade (y'know...great starter weapons) and I stuck with it. Wilds really got me into gunlance and SnS. Now I mostly rotate the four as well as regular lance although I've tried all the weapons a little to know what I won't use

I used gunlance in world and it was alright. The stuff added in wilds really made it click for me and now it's my most used weapon

I can't deny the gunlance always makes me feel like I'm doing something I shouldn't be. Shooting a gun....slicing and poking... shielding...giant flashy explosions...its too much its everything at once but I love it so

I used to hold a gunlance record in sun break
Now where am I going to fill the hole left by that weapon? 🥺

Bhaldwyda always has her greatsword and a gun at the ready, making it 2
Kaziv has her gunlance and, well, regular gun, making her 2 as well
Zircon technically has 2 (her axe and sword), but she counts them as 1
Irmhelm will say she has none right before she blasts someone's skull with her fist
#WoLQotD How many weapons do your WoL comfortably have on their person at any time?

gunlance rocks for me because it's pretty much a balancing act between defence and offence, i can be this wall that can block the attacks while the others take advantage of the monster's attention, but i can also hit back hard

No disrespect to the older games, but it always felt like the devs were never sure what blocking was supposed to do beyond reducing/preventing damage.

I became more aware of this when the gunlance was released.

RIGHT U LIKE GUNLANCE how could i forget

the best gunlance player you'd know for MHWo base game specifically

I used to solo the harder hunts with gunlance in that game and then make video edits lol i was addicted to flying through the air on my gunlance

Me and my coworker are constantly saying this. Rise was my first and the fact that gunlance can fly in that one instantly made it my game of the year

I didn’t really try gunlance until MH:Rise on switch and I gotta say I miss the mobility it had in that game but I still love my boomstick

Im also a gunlance and glaive fan. Despite those being my favorites, im just naturally better at lance. Nothing gets past me when i got the big poker.

Oh gosh, I rotate between a few. My go-to weapon when things are tough is sword and shield because I value mobility and defense in harder hunts. If I’m using sword and shield I’m usually running wide range as well so I’m kind of a healer. I also love insect glaive and gunlance.

Clover gunlance. Hmmm.
September 29, 2026 at 7:41 PM
learning gunlance so i can shoot an ajarakan when he launches into the air, among other things
September 29, 2026 at 7:06 PM
So a while back on Monster Hunter Rise I made what I call the "BS Build", an HBG with shields up to your eyeballs and making you fairly tanky, but last night I had a thought

Could this translate to lance/gunlance? Well with some minor jewel changes YES IT DOES

Fights last 5 years, but you win

Honestly I play everything but gunlance charge blade and dual blades are my favorites
September 28, 2026 at 4:01 PM
Gunlance is eaaaasy : just make sure you got your shells are loaded, or either do the slam combo (Gunlance Slam into full discharge, reload, repeat), or the extended spike combo!

And watch all the monster parts break off

...Charge blade I can't work out, that one is *technical*. x)

its so fun!! i want to give head to whoever designed the idea of mashing to charge it up... feels SO fun

i thought about gunlance because my owner is using it but it seems very complicated!! same with charge blade...

ZSD, my beloved.
Nothing like breaking a monster apart with the unbridled power of explosions.

...May I also interest you in Gunlance, per chance?
September 28, 2026 at 11:42 AM
The last time I played GU, I tried a shell-only Valor Gunlance build. It was very fun! Slightly underpowered though lol. Probably would be a nightmare for other players online.

I'll round back to playing it and World again at some point until Wilds + Ascendance is done and on sale.
