After 370 hours, I learned from this video that you can go to the training area without having to go to your room and talking to the housekeeper cat.
Me too😂
Lmao
same
Same here lol
Word
I immediately learned, "it's faster to use your world map to go to the training yard". Have a thumbs up!
Wait what 😂 I just tried this now. I've been an idiot for 2 years
Dude, I have had this constant identity crisis and was just starting to accept that I’ll never find the true weapon, until I saw your stuff. You’ve finally ended this purgatory that felt infinite, and I’m starting to main this weapon, thanks for the help.
this channel is criminally underrated.
Top explanation!
WHAT?! I dont have to go to my room and talk to the cat to go to the training area??? 800h in and i never knew that
How is that possible?! It's right there on the map! I mean, seriously
B r u h
@@We_Have_Dragons all the while ive probably pushed more hours into this game than u casuls. Get on my fucking level
@@ricklubbers7761 Why are you mad? All I said was bruh. I didn’t mean any harm. Yes I’m just an intermediate who died many times to Viper Tobi Kadatchi. And can’t settle on a main weapon to use.
But I’m still good. Like a pretty okay Amount of good.
I uhh still didn’t know that
I love how peaceful and informational this video is. I think it's the music👍
Wow! Your section organization, use of the green boxes to highlight things in the video, and straight forward explanations really makes this video easy to understand and enjoyable to watch. What a great guide!
6:00 how did you capture footage from my PC???
Seriously though, I had to sub. Great videos.
Very good and detailed video I didn't know about the reloading trick by switching bowguns in the tent. Couple things 1)Recoil Supressor also lets you move and shoot instead of locking you into place for a few frames while you shoot or move and shoot even faster depending on the recoil. So you can shoot while moving at a walking place and instantly roll without any frames locking into you place for a half second or second because you just shot.
2)For Wyvernheart and Wyvernsnipe, but especially Wyvernheart if you have the two special ammo boost decorations like you said but load the shell, eat a might pill(20 secs) you can get some pretty insane dmg because of how much they benefit from raw attack. Put on an impact mantle before and you'll get a stun as well. Especially useful at the start of a hunt. Load in, Attack up L food, demon drug. See monster, demon powder, load special ammo(starts full at start of hunt), impact mantle, might pill use Wyvernsnipe/Wyvernheart. Get Stun, eat might pill, 2x wyvern ammo. Eat might seed(3 mins, less dmg than might pill but also mutually exclusive) since might pill has worn off, use sticky ammo and you probably will get a 2nd stun while still having impact mantle. Might Pill, Wyvern ammox2 again, congrats monster is basically dead in like 2 mins.
1) It depends from the Ammo you shoot. Some can't get any better recoil .
2) I don't think you should get Impact mantle with you when you can get Rocksteady and Temporal .
Dude thank you so much. I’ve been trying to play with HBG but I couldn’t figure out why my damage wasn’t really kicking with me. I just kept on going back to melee weapons without really figuring out what I was doing wrong and putting it on the back burner for about 50 hours. Your mod help really switched it for me. It is such a huge difference now. (I was going ranged attack x2 and shield)
I feel like im in the same boat. Are you saying recoil supressor increased your dps? Because the hbg seems lackluster everytime i try it
The most practical and comprehensive beginners guide I've come across. Thank you!
I'm going to be honest, I didn't think I would learn anything new from this video, but lo and behold, I never knew about that last tip about switching your equipment load out to reload your ammo.
HOLY SH-
I've been going to the training room the long way!!!

TheGameconomist thank you for this video I will like to know if you got all kjarr HBG and what you think about those kjarr. I only got 5 kjarr HBG.
Whats the Ammo type inbetween the Sleep and Explosion coating? The one with the Question mark.
I am planning on using the HBG soon and i'm glad it's a thing but right now I am still Mastering the LBG. I feel I could be better after watching these type of vids. Thanks for the information and the effort of this video.
So awesome, the most comprehensive heavy bow gun guide I watch
you also don't auto-shield while reloading.
You pretty much don't auto shield if you're doing anything other than standing/walking
Microsoft Edgy aiming does, however
@@redacted144 That actually depends on the type of ammo. If you are aiming with cluster, wyvern snipe or any ammo that makes you change your stance when aiming, the shield will not work.
Just started over a week ago (26h), and I was soooo excited to try the bow guns; however, I didn't know about the critical range. My damage was so low, I decided to go HM and HH. Thanks to this guide, I'm going back to HBG!
That confusion with saving the radial menu in the items menu. I didn't realize that until I saw your video. THANK YOU GOD
This game is really hard to get into. In my first playthrough I used lance. Now with my second character I am using hbg and this is hands down best tutorial video out there. Thanks, it helped a lot
Super helpful, thank you! I’ve been hesitant to approach due to the prospect of ammo management but you simplified it in my mind
In my amateur testing the range mods also buff your special ammo. Close range for wycern heart and long range for wyvern snipe. In my particular case a close range mod actually buffed my wyvern heart DPS MORE than a special ammo mod. (Could be different for other people with different stats though idk)
On the off chance that someone is reviewing this guide in 2024 (or later) with the whole "Return to World" craze or whatever, like myself. Here's some stuff I was able to pick up from other guides and resources online, as well as some of my own testing:
17:07 - With the introduction of Iceborne, there is actual value in adding additional shield mods as some attacks will generate a large knockback even with guard 5 and a shield mod, but will be a medium knockback at guard 5 + 3 shield mods etc. While you still *generally* don't want to bother with multiple shield mods due to opportunity cost, there are use cases for running triple shield mod and guard up (or just multiple shield mods in general if you don't have good guard up decorations/armor)
Additional Iceborne Modifications:
- Long Barrel: Increases critical range and projectile speed. You can use this as an alternative to mind's eye/ballistics or with it to get an additional effect.
- Power Barrel: Increases tick rate for pierce ammo and stun/exhaust build up for sticky. Do more damage with pierce, cc more with sticky
- Wyvernheart: makes wyvernheart's damage build up for continuous firing higher (2.5x instead of 2x)
- Wyvernsnipe: makes wyvernsnipe kind of like a sticky? It can crit and do big damage, particularly on a wakeup, but general consensus seems to be that standard snipe is better damage overall
- Special Scope: adds a scope that you can attach/unattach from your bowgun. While aiming down the scope, you can adjust the zoom and your distance to enter "super critical range" (when you're using it there's extra little fiddly circles that, when all lined up, glow orange). You get 30% increased damage in Super Critical Range (you must fire while aiming with the scope, even if you're in super critical range when hip firing, it won't give you the extra damage, you *can* "quickscope" shoot though).
Note on Special Scope: When trying to find some numbers on the scope, I ran across a couple posts where this guy was saying that special scope isn't really compatible with other damage mods. Whether that used to be the case or not: special scope *does* stack with other mods that modify damage (ie: close up/long range), however, it can be hard to tell if you're in the same "sweet spot" for the damage mods, sometimes giving the appearance that it "overrides" them. Additionally, if you're not in super critical, damage is calculated completely normally. This means 5 (really 4) scenarios will happen with the scope plus close up/long range equipped:
1) You're scoped in with *super critical* and in the *sweet spot* for your close up/long range. You do huge damage (sweet spot critical damage x 1.3)
2) You're scoped in with *super critical*, but not in the sweet spot. You do more damage than your normal critical range (critical range damage x 1.3)
3) You're scoped in, not in super critical, but do have the *sweet spot*. You do sweet spot critical damage.
4) You're scoped in, not in super critical or in the sweet spot. You do regular critical range damage.
5) You're not scope in and everything happens as normal, just like you never had the scope mod equipped at all.
What that boils down to is this: special scope is a big damage increase, whether you're good about hitting super critical + sweet spot or not and the only downside is giving up a mod slot, which, considering rarity 12 HBG's have 5 mod slots, and generally pretty good stats on the ammo types they want to be using, that's not a big ask. If you hate the scope, don't use it, but, even if you're not great with it, it's a decent damage increase no matter what else you're doing.
Still working on micro crafting ammunition. Loads of info. Thank you master🙏🏼
How did you know I was looking for a heavy gun tutorial?!?
You're really good at explaining things, that was super useful
I won't call myself a bowgun main but i have played quite a bit with those weapons but i didn't know the advanced tip to have it fully reloaded after you have replenish your ammo loadout, thanks !
7:06 that laugh ... ADORABLE XD
I'm focusing on LBG at the moment, have already over 200 hunt with it and haven't bored yet. But I'm planing on switching to HBG next, so thx for this video.
As a LBG player, the hardest part was losing my mobility, the Heavy is so sluggish but I didn't knew that you get those huge rolls with evade extender so I'm excited to give it another try and finally learn how to HBG.
Thank you, it's a wonderful video for someone beginning MHW, I really enjoy the HBG because of you.
Actually another weapon that benefits from evade extender is the SWAX. The swax has very low evade initially when the weapon is drawn and the gunlance is one of the best dodging and repositioning weapons with evade extender especially if your using a wide shelling. I’ve been playing Mh since the first one on ps2. Played all of them except frontier.
HOLY CRAP how did you get over 1000 whetfish scale + 0_0
Loads of fishing
The music is the Undertale Shop theme is anyone is wondering
I really appreciate the detail you go into man
Jesus i wish someone told me to bring crafting supplys for more ammo.. This is an amazing video btw
You can face tank regular Behemoth with 3 shield mods, max guard and piercing shot (Ideally use the Glutton). I can hold aggro 90% of the time, but you will need 1-2 heals throughout the fight. You can block everything but the meteor.
HBG, sticky, cluster, and shield is just easy mode. I tried HBG after 450+ hours of dual blades, charge blade, swaxe, horn, long sword, and great sword. HBG trivialized most AT hunts.
This has helped me more than you can know. Thank you very much!
Cheers for the guide. Do you happen to have a starting build to go for when you just completed the story? I see builds but most of those require arch tempered monsters.
Cool. Now that I've mastered Swagaxe and Bow I am moving to the one weapon I have NEVER attempted to main in all of my MH experience: The HBG. Thanks to this overview, I'm ready to head to the training grounds and not just waste my time, but actually learn.
Well i learned alot that last trick is good to know. Life changing stuff for those unaware. I even went back and watched your ammo video. The whole thing.
Everything on your video is nice , everything i needed is here, its almost relaxing to watch it bruh, well done
Wow man this video really is great. You explain everything so calm and clear. And the quick reviews to remind you what you just learned.
Really just great.👍
That's a nice video, I just got a lot of kulve HBG (thanks to your discord community btw) so this video will make me us those !
I can see why people recommend gameconomist for guide
HOLYYY GOD DUDE.
Wait, u can go to training area without talk to cat?
my 300hrs is pointless.
Thanks for the guide. I've been eyeing the hbg for a while now but as a new player that I was, seems like information overload for me so I settled for the Ls. Now I'm ready to give a chance to the big boi weapons.
What? I didn't even know I can re-stock in camp, lmao.
What a great guide, well explained for everyone.
I think I'll use charge blade for everything that doesn't fly and heavy bow gun for those that do. My first azure rathalos almost caused my too fail but luckily I had fortify on(which I learned to have from you!) and plus it'll be cool to use two weapons instead of just sticking to one
Really helpful for an up and coming HBG main
Thanks for this, I had previously believed that I was playing MHW adequately, until you showed me the other 98% of the game I'd overlooked in my One Man Button-Mash of Perpetual Defeats.
You provide players with what I'm comfortable calling some of the most peerless tutorial/guide dialog I've seen for any games out there, MHW ppl are spoiled rotten with this stuff. Thank you!
Save your Pierce Ammo for when Bazelgeuse gets in the way of your hunt target
your content is amazing, also love your background music!
Just started using a slugger sticky dark devourer mp set, and my god the stunlock are crazy, I see no reason using anything else except for variety, it’s so stupid good. Haven’t gotten this many friend requests in a long time either haha! And no, I dont cluster in mp, unless they’re outta my way. This gun is just in it’s own tier of power.
Thanks for the guide, I've used the LBG all the way to HR60 and am getting bored of it
For anyone coming back to MHW, the HBG melee is GREAT for farming kelbi horns. Just smack them, put away the gun, grab the horns.
I Was using the bow until I found out you have to play pretty close to the monster to get your full damage out, I usually like playing far back but I was never good with how slow the bowguns were this video was super helpful.
You released this video at the perfect time for me, I just started MHW a few days ago. I don't normally enjoy ranged gameplay in any game genre, unless it's spell casting. But I ended up liking HBG early on, also mixing Insect Glaive as my chosen melee weapon. By the time I hit high ranked I started getting my ass kicked with HBG too much, so I'm pretty much a full time Glaive user now. I just wasn't sure what stats to look for to make an HBG good. I pretty much just paid attention to mag size and reload speed, and prayed I could find one with manageable ammo stats and good affinity.
As of right now I'm basically using Legiana HBG as a sniper rifle with pierce, and Odogaron's LBG for normal 2. I'm still not sure what weapon I should be building to handle early elder dragons, as I'm currently right before the Nergigante fight.
Shield mod is only good if your running HBG with spread shots while using the scope or just running spread shots. It’s not good for any other bullet type because with spread you need to be close to get the max damage and the shield will help you tank while your close range.
Man, what a *great* video! Thanks for making it!
WOW you just make a lot of the game mechanics so so so much simple for newcomers to the series. I just beat the Zoras and I keep struggling going forward with Hbows thanks for this incredible informative video!
Complicated made simple thanks man very easy and chill video keep it up
with 3 shieldd mods you can block nergigante's dive with very little health and stamina loss with no guard boost
Will show this to all my friend so they finally see how strong the hbg is. Thanks man, good job.
Thanks man! I appreciate it
Awesome video. What’s the background music? It’s triggering my nostalgia hard but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.
Thanks to a comment below for the hint. Undertale. Not so much nostalgia, I guess. It really made me thing of Legend of the Dragoon for some reason
Over 700 hours....I just found out the map training room travel now.
Great vid! Will watch it now. looking forward to a LBG version!
really good tutorial dude, bravo!
Good vid so far didn't know about the evade extender
first of all,your item box is amazing,i have no idea how you can have so many things of all srsly man you have my respect. second,a silly question. can i build a viable h/lgb build using the girros set? thanks for all your precious info.
Man. I love the music and your voice. I feel like a peaceful slayer lol
Yes, thank you!!! I was waiting for this. Since I am HBG main but still sh*t cause only just started the game.
Very nice. Detailed and yes I learned a thing
What screws me is when I go and load special ammo but then when I zoom in, the monster will leap across the level just to get me with my guard shield down.
5 A.M and you upload video
For me I just grabbed a Gluttom HUG, slapped a shield and threw in the guard jewel I have and went Ham with my team, knocking down Monsters left and right, tanking hits during fights
I still just can’t get the gist of this weapon. I understand fundamentally what to do, but it just so start/stop. I didn’t get that ‘spark’ like I did when I first tried GL. I guess that’s just not my play style...Props to those whom are masters of it I def like playing with people whom know how to use it better than me...lol
Thanks To You I Understand Now how to build a heavy gun.
Actually, there's a niche use for Deviation Suppressor. Each shot of Wyvernheart has it's own deviation, so if you're building around that special ammo deviation suppressor might be necessary. I say might because it's only really necessary on guns with high deviation, and even then you'll need at least two of the mod to make it more controllable. Overall, still not worth it, but still worth mentioning.
Nice guide, really helpful!
GREAT video! is there an update for Iceborne? Anything worth mentioning? (super noob MHW player with only 200hrs total)
Someone plz help. When i reload it dosnt reload fully. What do I do? I'm using Xbox controller and I'm pressing B but it dosnt reload all the way :(.
Thanks because of you, I've been able to get more efficient with my HBG!
Other than MHXX with brave mode I haven't really used it in other MH games, but with your guides and previous vids I've been having TONS of fun with this weapon (esp. solo) so thank you xD!
Wouldn't make more sense to have post the ammo video after this one?
There are lbg builds that use 3 close up mods you use the karma it has rapid fire normal 2 build around that and you get a very powerful build
Heavy Bowgun, charge blade, bow and longswords (because of foresight slash) are easily the best weapons in the game
Greatsword
Wow I just realized you never actually made a HBG weapon guide. It’s like my math teacher who never taught me addition and subtraction but somehow managed to teach me calculus lol
What about shield/recoil suppression and reload assist is that good and what would you recommend for the anjanath H.B.G 1
Your tutorial's awesome.
Super useful info cant wait to see the Ice born stuff he makes for this ^_^like for sure!
How many points of evade extender is useful? 3 seems much too much for me, I'm trying to get closer to the pillar in the training area and my character distances it the other way round it is very annoying I'm afraid.
I personnaly avoid evade extender on close range HBG like the glutton. On my sticky build, I should use it, but I don't. It's a great skill tbh, but you need to get used to it.
I'd say it's better to test it for yourself, but do it on a hunt instead of at the training area, while that area is great for making builds, there's just some things it's not good for, like learning how to be flexible with your chosen weapon type. Just set up a build in the training area that you think will be decent enough with damage and ease of use, then take it out on something simple like a jagras or maybe an anjanath (depending on where in the game you are)
TheGameEconomist is not a big proponent of the shield mod but I most definitely am. I just don't like the roll for HBG regardless of the level of evade extender, it is so long and slow. If you never acclimate to the evade style ( as I did) I highly recommend going with one shield mod and add in Ironwall to level 3 for AT or Elder monsters. Unless, you roll perfectly all the time, I would be willing to bet that blocking would result in faster and easier clears for the average player. You not only need to roll to dodge an attack but you also need make sure you are in a good position after the roll.
I think you would get more damage off in the same time by blocking as opposed to rolling then resetting to shoot. If you are a speed runner and always in optimal positions, evading wins out by a long shot because you will rarely be using it anyway.
You can face tank Behemoth with 3 shield mods and max guard. I tank him regularly with this build and piercing shot.
Two thousand hours of world and this is how i learn how to get into the training area faster.
Great video and great content.
Mad lad guide
23:00 what is that ammo inbetween sleep coating and explosive coating with the purple question mark icon???
It's the exhaust coating. Not currently really available in the game, due to not having a recipe or drop. Probably used some modification to get it.
Best tutorial I've seen.
I'd say it might be wise to use deviation suppression on high deviation weapons when playing with controller. But really the better bet is just don't use super high deviation weapons in the first place.
i love the background music in this video
just in case you dont know, it is from undertale. If i remember correctly, it's snowdin (may not be written correctly) theme
People been talking to cats to go to the training room? It's hard to miss
man.. you are good..
