  • Ranking Monster Hunter World Weapons By Popularity
  • Where To Find the First Wyverian

One of Monster Hunter World’s, also known as MHW, most attractive elements is its weapons. There are 16 weapons in total, each with a completely different gameplay style. Each one even offers different ways to hunt and take down monsters. You can always go to the First Wyverian to find out which is the most popular. However, if you haven’t found him yet, then let’s dive into all the weapons ranked by popularity in MHW.

We broke down our ranking of all weapons by popularity in MHW into tiers, as visualized in the image above. Starting from the least popular to the most popular, they are as follows:

  • Kinsect
  • Hunting Horn
  • Hammer
  • Lance
  • Sword and Shield
  • Gunlance
  • Insect Glaive
  • Heavy Bow Gun
  • Great Sword
  • Charge Blade
  • Bow
  • Light Bow Gun
  • Long Sword
  • Switch Axe
  • Dual Blades

We believe the Switch Axe and Dual Blades are Monster Hunter World weapon popularity winners. The Switch Axe offers heavy and quick attacks while compromising movement. On the other hand, the Dual Blades offer speed and accuracy that any other weapon can’t top. As explained above, you can always see what players worldwide think by talking to the First Wyverian.

Where To Find the First Wyverian

The First Wyverian can be found in the Ancient Forest. To find them, follow these directions precisely:

  • Head to the Ancient Forest’s Area 17 campsite.
  • Go south and walk up the trail to the end; the Handler will go ahead and mention that there are strange footprints.
  • Inspect the footprints.
  • Crawl under the branches in front of you and walk towards the bone pile to watch a cutscene.
  • The end of the cutscene marks the finding of the First Wyverian.

It’s important to note that you have to be online for them to give you the weapon popularity stats. Otherwise, they will just give you items. The stats that they provide you with are accurate to what players are using. However, that doesn’t mean those weapons adhere to your play style.
