Looking for a full overview of the Bow tree in Monster Hunter Wilds? The Bow is my personal favourite ranged weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds , thanks both to the mobility it offers relative to Bowguns, and to its powerful homing and multiple-wound-breaking attacks. If you're of a similar mindset, you too will need to sift through the massive weapon tree of 71 Bows to decide which endgame Bow is right for you.
In the guide below, we've made your job easier by dividing the entire Monster Hunter Wilds Bow weapon tree into handy comparison tables which allow you to easily compare damage stats, elements, affinities, slots, and other key information like the crafting materials and upgrade path required for each Bow. Let's get started!
