I would love to see a spear. One niche they don't have is a midrange melee weapon, a fast thrusting weapon, or a melee/ ranged weapon. Spear covers all of these
Insect glaive? And if youre talking about a more phalanx, poke-poke style of spear then we have the lance? I dunno i feel like the spear has it’s representation. I’d like to see a whip as that was once shown in a spin-off monster hunter manga. Or hand-to-hand style would be cool.
How about this idea: Accel Spike, with a nimble, forward and backward movement heavy playstyle emphasizing thrusts with a long stick, and a hyperspeed charge like the former Accel Axe.
I don’t play lance for the flashy moves anyway. Sure the claw counter is flashy but I like it more in that it’s an easy way to tenderize. Lance mains live for the “immovable object” fantasy and man I’m living it
"Monster Fists" - they are exactly what they sound like. A hand-to-hand weapon style that shows off what a monster the hunters are. All the designs would be based on the weapons of monsters themselves. Claws, talons, pounders, paws, fins. Lots of potential there and would be interesting to see a super-shortrange, possible counterattack heavy playstyle.
I want a giant boomerang. Close up blunt damage swung in wide arcs (we don't have a sweeping blunt weapon, both our blunt weapons are bonkers) along with stamina draining/charged throws that deal heavy blunt damage when aimed and return to you.
I think a neat idea were to divide all weapons into blunt and cutting subtypes. There are hammer skins that are axes, are they cutting damage? There are dual blades that are fists, are they blunt damage? Almost every if not every melee weapon has skins that suggest a different damage type than what the weapon normally gives. If a weapon like say Lance doesn't, just add some with the new monsters introduced in the title. If they were to mix this up this could offer more play styles without adding more new weapons or need for massive weapon re-tuning.
Literally jsut made the same kind if comment. its not hard to program that. If a weapon is clearly bladed even in a typically blumt wepaon type it should do cut. Like the hamemrs that are axes. Or for isntsnce diablos clubs for db or barroth club for sns should deal inoact damage. That would add so much variety and flexibility
@@mudshrooze Think of the fun double blunt SNS or DB will be knocking monsters the fuck out, new stamina thief DB meta all without a serious weapon rework.
I had the idea of using weapons with the moveset of a different weapon type. Using sword and shield with the moveset of dual blades, faster attack and the shield does blunt damage, maybe even guard points in the dual blade combos. Maybe you could use a switch axe with a hammer moveset, with it's big bang and charge attacks. I wanna use a great sword as an insect glaive and barely get 3 feet off the ground when I vault.
Only bad part is losing weapon identity + the damage calc. For weapon identity I feel like its always been a sentimental good idea that if you need horn break or stun monster you have to pick hammer or hunting horn, if you want to cut a tail, take a sever weapon. If they added a mechanic where there was blunt and sever subtypes then they would have to make the general diversity of each weapon be half and half sever and blunt or they would kinda lose out on a new mechanic. This would muddy the idea and many people could argue that if you ask someone what weapons they play they may only say dual blades cause they can do everything blunt and sever which kinda suck cause every weapon should have upsides and downsides so to have dual blades gain a blunt damage with half of the weapon group would take individuality from current blunt weapons. The second one is blunt or ko calc, stuff like dual blades would have to have massively low stun damage to offset the fast attacks and constant movement. I should say I have had the same sentiment and wished stuff like the Vaal Hazak hammer would do cutting damage but I think cost would outweight benefits. I still think its super interesting and I like it alot
I would like to see a fist/blaster weapon. Like a transforming katar that can be a blaster type of gun. This would also give them a chance to incorporate moves like shoryuken and hadoken… which I personally think would be cool 😅
I've always loved the idea of some massive "power fist" style weapon. I just love the concept of the pure badassery of a hunter beating up a massive monster with their fists
Impact gauntlets that use a phial charging mechanic, with the choice to use them all in a devastating haymaker or save some for a blast off mechanic similar to the slinger dive for dual blades in world.
I think a weapon that might share insects with insect glaive could help make insect glaive feel more integrated with the rest of the weapons, however it'd a bit hard to see what kind of weapon would ice that, in general i think a boomerang that has some ranged attacks along with melee blunt would be neat
I think that kinsects should be clasified as a pet type that you can carry with you if you want to... rise separated them from the glaive and gave them special techniques, they could allow players to wield a pheromone launcher(a reduced version of the mechanism the glaive uses to command kinsects) that operates kind of like a slinger and let us mix and match with other weapons... of course sword and shield will be cool with that.
So this weapon already exists in Wild Hearts in the form of the "Claw Blade", but I would like a Chain Scythe weapon to be introduced to MHWilds. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, but a hit and run swinging weapon would be so cool Imo. It could work like a whip that you could "Stab" into monsters to reposition yourself. Alternatively, they could have a fist type weapon so you can actually punch the crap out of monsters. Martial arts combat with "grappel" mechanics (Similar to the Clutch claw) would also be interesting.
I think, if we'll ever see a new weapon, exactly because of the reasons that you mentioned in the video, would be right now. Monster Hunter World was the best selling capcom game ever. Ever. So for the sequel of their all time best selling game, we can be sure they will throw all the money at it. Scratch another project to assemble a team to design a new weapon archetype would absolutely be in the realm of possibilities. And its not like there arent fleshed out ideas in place already. We have the Frontier weapons as well as concepts like the Wyverian Boomerang. But maybe I am just biased and really really want a 4th ranged weapon in the game.
I'd like to see a weapon that has the ability to go from melee to ranged more dynamicly. Insect glaive *sort of* does that a little bit, but not to a very satisfying degree. Either that, or a fully committed melee weapon, a fist weapon essentially, mixing a bit of blunt damage with dual blade-like tempo.
We already had that in the tonfas for the fist style gameplay, it was more acrobatic than dual blades, you could jump into the air with them and hit higher areas while hovering in place and they were fast! Unfortunately they were only in the mmo... I want them back so badly
They introduce 4 type of kinsect in rise, the speed type kinsect is what you're searching for, it is what i imagine what kinsect should be in the first place
They should make weapons behave how they look. I remember seeing a straight axe designs act as hammers. Also remember when the longsword design was a greatsword and thinking how silly that was. When you see dual maracas you don't think cutting damage you see blunt. Maybe the best thing to do is just make the weapons do the thing they look like they should. An axe hammer or hunting horn would change the game more than a 15th weapon would! A blunt damage greatsword would be epic!
that would make a lot of weapon just irrelevant, certain weapons are already outperforming in each weapon type, imagine if a weapon type get's outperformed by another weapon type that'd be pretty stupid, and what would happen to layered weapons wouldn't everyone just use the "meta" weapon with the highest raw or elemental and sharpness and then choose the "meta" layered weapon that's most optimal for the specific hunts, that'd be weird and off-putting
Yea but that would make hammers kinda obsolete wouldn’t you think? If everything had the choice of using stun. But it could be kinda argued that hammer is already obsolete with charge blade in the picture.
"They should make weapons behave how they look. I remember seeing a straight axe designs act as hammers" definitly no, game is already unbalanced enough with a lot of weapons, that would be insane.
My personal favorite weapon suggestion I've seen was gloves/gauntlets. Just fist fight the monsters. Would this be a _good_ weapon? I dunno, probably not tbh, but it'd be amusing.
I’ve said it for years but I think a solid weapon idea would be a giant boomerang like Sango uses in Inuyasha. A melee weapon with a ranged component that isn’t reliant on ammo or coatings would be a really fun addition, but so are 99% of my idea for weapons and I’m 0% sure they’re realistic.
The weapon Im the most desperate for is a punching gauntlet weapon like a slower high damage blunt dual blades, Tonfa are kinda like that but it's too fast and the airal moves are too much, but if they grounded the weapon and made is slower it would slip perfectly into the niche I want Id also be happy to see the accel axe and medium bowgun return, and a whip/Flail weapon, a spear, and mabye a dual Crossbow type weapon after that I think all niches would be filled and we don't need more I also don't want to see Magnet spike, that shit can stay in frontier
The only argument for why implement a new weapon in the portable game as opposed to Wilds I can see if "They are already adding so much new stuff", which at this stage isn't really much of an argument to begin with. We don't know exactly how much they are going to change with Wilds and how resource intensive it is going to be. There could easily have been enough dev time and resources in order to development multiple new weapons for all that we know. Also, do consider that they could reintroduce some of the Spinoff weapons as well, which probably would be less work since a lot of the groundwork is done, they just need to make it work in a modern game. The Tonfa would be my pick
Exactly. Saying that is also like saying underwater combat shouldn't come back for the same reason. So far he's definitely shown a track record of coming up with poor excuses or over exaggeration which isn't a good sign since he acts he knows what mh is supposed to do or be despite not actually knowing
I would love to see a whip or a boomerang. I think it would be really refreshing, there could have a lot of flashy moves. Also this would bring a new mixed melee/range weapon type !
I’d honestly love to see some kind of knuckle-type weapon that just lets you run up to monsters and punch them directly in the face. Would honestly work insanely well with the Street Fighter collabs MH loves to do.
Personally i jsut want the world newcomer monsters to have their weapons redesigned to be in line with pre world and rise design. ...they need it. Also...i want a couple wooden versions of every weapon. Like the chaos tree in rise was a dream come true but i would have loved to see a chaos wepaon for each type . Also something that could make combat more flexible. Make it so that if a weapon is clearly a club or blunt even if its a sns or db or gs etc...make it do impact damage and not cut. That way the diablos duel blades or Barroth sword and shield would actually be clubs. Not just reskinned knives
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrinhe was. But a couple others got treated properly Odogaran and Zorah Comes to mind. But like Xeno the final boss before iceborne....what a bummer. And I'm saying that as world is my most played and overall favorite mh game. However having started with 3U, played 4U, Generations and now Rise. The design issues with worlds weapons are so extreme. I get what they were going for but it didnt pan out so well
A flail would be the most interesting addition a game like this could have. A giant spike ball attacked to an exaggeratedly long chain. It would fit the over the top aesthetic of the game and add a very unique weapon not seen in a lot of titles.
I just want to have some (not quite as crazy as rise) aerial and counter playstyles for weapons. Especially dualblades and hammer get so much from aerial attacks because there are so many monsters that are out of your reach
As long as they make combat smart and not button mashy and actuslly give weight to the heavy weapons again. Rise is fun but they ruined horn and hammers feel completely. And as a horn main since 3U i bonestly hate what they did.
@@mudshrooze I do think Worlds HH needs some quality of life changes. Like being able to move while playing and bigger and more accessible memory of notes. Also faster encore ore similar. Playing and accessing songs is a bit too sluggish in MHW. It should remain a parto of the HH but made a bit less of a chore. Also the motion values in MHW where kinda low. But I agree that it should not become the weird blunt spinny dualbladelike thing without real music playing like it is in rise.
@@uSil031I forget, did world display the songs on screen with the button prompts or was that a pc mod that I wasn't aware of? I've seen it in videos but I don't remember that from when I last played before my pc died
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrin Yes it did. It would also store the last three melodies you played which you could access via button combination. I would love to be able to access way more than the last three through maybe a radial menu for example.
What about just a bigass shield that you can throw and dash with like the Aegis from Hades? That would be cool. That or maybe a harpoon type weapon would be cool.
Whilst I’m not exactly a monster hunter fan I kinda know what you’re talking about, something like rooster/power creep right? I wonder how long players will be satisfied before getting restless without a new weapon, and how it will be dealt with in the future 👀
Personally id like to see an additional blunt weapon that's not just a giant bonk. Maybe something closer to the SnS profile but more technical. Im sorta imagining something like a hydrolic tonfa that charges up through combos to deliver a short range but heavy impact attack.
I personally don't see the need for a new weapon. If they don't add any other one I'm ok, I already main 6 weapons and don't plan on changing any of them. On rise I needed to learn 12 playing stiles what made me really bored and on sunbrake another one I barely got to the basics. I truly don't want that again. One I can take if needed be because I want to try one weapon I haven't used yet, but I have already 4 I haven't touch so I don't mind.
I agree with you. Another detail is that right now all the weapons are actually grouped into pairs, as illustrated by the streamstones used for high rank augmentation in the base game in world. The only two that aren't a great match imo are bow and insect glaive. Whenever they do eventually add more weapons, I could see them adding two to keep the pairings. Perhaps a boomerang as a simple ranged counterpat to the bow. As for IG, im not sure, maybe something like tonfas to match its aerial melee theme, alternatively another weapon that features a pet.
The frontier weapons like the Tonfa's would be pretty cool, or even some kind of gauntlet weapon that could charge up similar to a charge blade or switch axe, to do more powerful attacks for a limited time. Also lance peaked with the Agnaktor Lance in Tri imo, as being able to drill into a thunder lizard under water, was so incredibly satisfying or even doing the same to Agnaktor with the Barioth lance felt extremely rewarding, but after leviathans more or less disappeared from most of the mainline games, i felt like Lance became more of a meme than anything else.
Gauntlets, which are split into two categories: Blunt - Heavy gauntlets, punching, attacks are only slightly faster than the hammer but they are just as powerful, high chance to stun monsters if landing a lot of punches one after the other Sever - Claws, a lot of wild slashing attacks, fight like a rabid animal, fast & mobile, lots of jump & lunge attacks, high affinity Or maybe it's all one weapon and you can switch from punching gloves to claws and combine their movesets. And if you time the attacks correctly when switching from punching to slashing, you attack faster & deal more damage. They could also do what Wild Hearts did and have swords that can turn into whips. Except instead of a katana, it's a broadsword. Like, a cutlass, a dadao or a khopesh. It can hit a monster multiple times with one swing in whip form. Has a lot of range to make up for it's moderate damage. Dual wield maybe? A mace/one handed hammer that turns into a flail for more range and more impact. Increased part break chance when in flail form. Paired with a medium sized shield that has spikes at the front. If you time a block right, the monster takes damage from the spikes and gets pushed back. The spikes remain attached to the monsters and depending on what type of weapon you have equipped, it will affect the monster in different ways. If you have a poison weapon & shield, it will cause poison build-up on the monster. If it's a blast weapon & shield, the spikes eventually explode. Or maybe chakrams. Can be used both in melee and as a throwable weapon at the same time. You throw them and they come back like boomerangs. Can charge up a throw to either hit a monster multiple times or to hit multiple monsters if they are next to each other. I can even imagine Nargacuga chakrams that look like giant shurikens. A rapier that can turn into a spear. A lot of fast thrusting attacks in rapier form, very agile and has high affinity. Relies heavily on having to dodge a lot and then taking the opportunity to unleash a flurry of attacks. So basically, you dodge an attack, go in and attack, dodge again, rinse and repeat. The better you time a dodge, the more damage you deal. Slower attack speed and movement speed in spear form, but has more range and deals slightly more damage than when in rapier form. Can charge attacks for more damage and impact, which can push monsters back or knock them to the ground. The spear can be thrown at a monster and it will remain attached, dealing continuous damage to the part that it's attached to, which causes said part to eventually break. But you will have to go and retrieve the spear if thrown. The spear can also be thrown at other surfaces, such as walls. You can use it to then climb up higher to either ambush a monster from above or to catch your breath before jumping back down. Dual handcannons. Wield two large pistols that closely resemble a revolver. Depending on the monster that they're made from, it can have one of the two following firing modes: Burst fire, for a more agile and chaotic playstyle. Has low damage and can be innacurate at times, but you have high mobility which allows you to quickly reposition yourself after each shot and is very effective at aerial combat. Also has very fast reload speed. You can flourish the pistols to increase movement speed even further. Requires perfect timing however. Single shot, for a more slow and methodical approach, meaning that you shoot once with each pistol and then you have to reload, so choose your shots carefully. Boasts high precision and high damage. Shots are so powerful that they can break parts with 2 - 3 shots from each pistol. They are heavier than their burst fire counterpart, resulting in a slower reload speed and movement speed. Has a devastating charge up shot, where you use both pistols at the same time. The charge shot pierces through monsters, breaking all parts caught in the way and can even hit monsters that are behind them. However, you will then have to wait for a couple of seconds for the weapons to cooldown, due to them overheating. Keeping the pistols holstered during combat, will have you do a fast shot with both pistols when you attack again. You also gain increased reload speed and affinity damage for a few seconds.
I totally agree that the next portable title would be a great time to consider adding a new weapon. My personal pick would either be a spear for a melee ranged hybrid weapon, or a mainline game rework of one of the past spin off weapons. My favorite of those is definitely the accel axe because it’s really cool in concept and is way less overloaded when compared to the tonfas and especially the magnet spike.
So from the comments I see 3 cool suggestions: 1. Boomerang: agree on that. Would be pretty neat and would fit in perfectly. Short range blunt weapon, medium range throwing weapon = awesome. Maybe there could be cool combos where you start short range, then there is a jump backwards with a throw and as soon as the boomerang comes back your character can charge into melee again with a special attack. 2. Fists: like that as well. My idea would be to give them something like 3 stances. Light stance = fast attacks with dodge heavy gameplay. Emphasis on hit and run tactics where you slowly whittle down the monster (this stance could be useful when you want to play it safe while setting up traps, learning a monsters move set or when the monster is enraged) Medium stance = slower but a bit more powerful attacks with the option for dodges or counters (this would be your standard stance for quick engages and the ability to stay close but you are less mobile) Heavy stance = slow attack with high damage but weaker defensive options (for when the monster is stunned/down or you know you have an opening) Additionally you could also introduce grapple as one comment suggested. The gameplay would revolve around knowing when to change stance and to use it properly. There could also be attacks/blocks that are unique to stance changes like for charge blade. Maybe you even charge Ki or something like that, that can be used for special attack ... but maybe that is already too much. 3. Whips: was also my first idea but I would actually prefer the other two. But it could be cool to have a close to medium range melee weapon that has a strong focus on using your weapon for mobility.
i wanna see large bulky gauntlets like Vi's from arcane (i thought it suits the bulky nature of monster hunter weapons) , and instead of it being super "mashy" and quick combos i feel like it should be more focused and centered around timing and opportunity (sorta like boxing) and i've seen people point out the fact that they want kicks but idk that wouldn't really make much sense so i would imagine it more like a medium speed brawler type weapon that throws some nasty hooks and uppercuts maybe even have a meter for it so that when you get better timing it would reward you into a big finisher type move like the longsword anime slash or a rocket powered falcon punch move of some sorts.maybe add a some sort of parry or defense move like putting your hands up to block and voila, you got that mike tyson build you always dreamed of not really sure how sheathing/unsheathing your weapon would look like though so i think that might be enough reason for them to not add it in, if that's not possible then i would love a scythe type weapon
Capcom should have zero reason to struggle creating a new weapon. Even though I love MH games they are literally just reskinned games with the same monsters. The only new thing with each game are the maps, one new combat feature, and handful of new monsters. I find it hard to believe they don’t have the time, resources, or creativity to give us a new weapon
Assuming it focuses more on open world, we definitely need a new weapon that can cover huge distances like magnet spike's attack that lets it attach to a monster far away
A new weapon needs a new purpose. Like a fighting style. Maybe like a ball in change swinging in circular motions. Hit the button at the right time and you keep up circular motions. But now it's just a ranged hammer. Switch hammer? Lol. Bring back the gravity weapon.
i'd like some sort of whip weapon. dodge attacks like ls, long range attacks that attract you towards the monster like a forwards wirebug. maybe some heavy attacks could do stun damage, it could also whip other players out of snowman status and sleep. tonfas could be cool weapons as well. another stun weapon, air combos, constant and oppresive playstyle.
Wilds is the perfect game to introduce a new weapon type. Many people jumped into this great franchise with MH:World. Thus, giving them a new weapon will make them come back.
World was already perfect for a new weapon. Rise even more perfect (like Kusari-gama, batons, gauntlets, etc). I wouldn't be surprised that instead of adding another weapon, Wilds launches with not all 14 basic weapon types from the start.
@@thenonexistinghero I disagree. Capcom would never again ditch out some weapons from MH games. It's not going to happen. Games will always be shipped with 14 weapons. They learned the lesson in Tri. Always include all of the weapons to not upset fans. They can add weapons not subtract them. Regarding World being the best game to introduce a new weapon type, again, I disagree. If they can do it, they'd probably subtracted weapons from World not add more. Just to simplify the game even more, to reach a wider audience. Now they reach that wide audience and they can promote the new game with new weapons to justify it.
@@Kara_Pabuc Capcom already cut out the final 15% or so from base Rise to deliver it in the form of DLC. Tri already came out 14 years ago in Japan, over 15 years by the time MH6 releases so 'lessons learned' don't exactly count. And yes, it is easily possible for Capcom to launch the game without all 14 basic weapon types. They can just use the excuse that they do that to give them extra polish and then release them later. Capcom has learned that releasing content in a certain way works to keep content fresh for longer and they most certainly aren't above doing that for weapons. I'm not saying it will happen for sure, I'm just saying that... you shouldn't be surprised if it does happen. Capcom wants Monster Hunter to be like live service games. It's just far more profitable. And I don't think they're going to follow the same kind of schedule they did with World/IB and Rise/Sunbreak. They did that, it worked, but they no doubt want to push it further with MH6.
@@thenonexistinghero Not sure what you're talking about regarding Rise. I am talking about weapon types like longsword, greatsword, chargeblade, dual blades etc. There are 14 weapon types in MH games. They did cut weapon types in original Tri and never ever do that again. They are not going to, say, drop sword and shield in the Wilds. It's not going to happen. The chances are 0, nil.
@@Kara_Pabuc And that's where you're a completely delusional fanboy. Capcom doesn't care about the fans, they care about the money. If they think cutting weapon types and releasing them later will lead to more profit, they will do that.
Personally, I'd love to see the tonfas come back as blast tonfas that combine short-range, blunt attacks similar to dual blades with explosive charges for both damage and mobility tricks.
I think 14 isn't close to how many weapons they can add I think I saw around 5 or 6 amazing unique ideas that could happen, I think we will get to that time of it being hard to add something unique maybe at the 24/25 weapon mark? we only have 2 blunt weapons, a quick hitting staff would be very cool, we only have 2 morphing weapon, a weapon that switches between blunt and sharp modes 1 to gain energy and 1 to expel it (maybe like tonfas but can morph?) a melee range weapon hybird like a great shuriken + gloves to punch them into the monster and they act like boomerangs? a axe weapon that focuses on heavy quick chops that drain stamina and need perfect positioning (and while that would arguably be a mix between GS and hammer I think that is such a nice sweet spot for a new weapon imo) thats 4 weapon ideas that can be expanded into full MH weapons that add new playstyles I though of/remembered on the spot! also I think if they add new weapons it will be even numbers from now on just because it makes the UI look cleaner lol also for the new models and VFX they had to do redo them all with world (yea models sucked in world but capcom were in a really bad spot when world was being developed), and maybe even with rise because it was a new engine + the palamute all had new armor and weapon designs for them! I don't think there will be any net negative knowing that wilds is on a better engine with a bigger budget and a bigger team than world's will I be mad that we don't get a new weapon? nope as long as our weapons still get updated and the game itself is really good I won't get sad over it
I feel like somewhere along the way they have to bite the bullet and put a new weapon into the main franchise. Given the nature of always online gaming, its pretty unlikely we'll ever see more than 1 main series game per generation going forward. Were far more likely to receive an expansion set similar to how World got Iceborne from now on. Which means if you are going to add a new weapon to the main franchise. It either comes with launch, or comes with a expansion. I could see the possibility of a new weapon coming with an expansion, however that might prove somewhat troublesome aswell. My primary concern being the expansion is likely to build apon the existing weapon tree like previous titles, does it really seem worth while to go back and add a whole pre-expansion weapon tree for content everyone is about to move-on from playing? Move-sets are likely to be expanded once again (assuming Wilds trims them back again, Longsword I'm looking at you) meaning that's all the more effort the designers have to put into trying to give the weapon not only a base move-set but and expanded one as well. Personally, I don't necessarily like the prospects of that either. Regarding Gen 6 specifically, Honestly it might be the best time to add that 15th weapon for the main series anyway. My personal feeling is that its apparent that World set the groundwork for what Wilds will expand on. I don't think well see quite the same re-imagining of what MH:World was to MH:4 as if you think about how much changed it was rather extreme. Personally, when it comes to what they should add. I like the idea of reaching back into the catalogue of existing non-main franchise weapons, my personal vote would be Accel Axe. But I can also see Tonfa's as a likely candidate as well. I think the magnet spike is interesting, but a lot of what was build into its kit for Frontier feels like it got reworked into clutch-claw for Iceborne. Obviously no confirmation that its returning (please no tenderize capcom). Honestly, I haven't ruled out the possibility that we get not one, but two new weapon for Wilds. But thats just my two cents on the matter.
As someone that mains bowguns, I would love to be able to carry an alternate weapon(that isn't the stupid ass gunbow bonks). A boomerang would be a wonderful new addition and would pair well with gunbows as a ranged melee weapon :D but regardless of that, two weapons would be great
That idea has kind of been implemented in the Stories series (if you are sleeping on Wings of Ruin , then stop sleeping and wake up and play it. Its awesome) Your character can ghave 2 or 3 weapons in your "tool belt" ready to swap in combat. Stories is also heavily the reason why Rise made mounting the way they did. It's like in between Hunter and Rider while also being a magical Ninja. Rise is ...over the top haha. But that's not all bad. Many design choices I wasnt necessarily for. But some especially weapon design (not the combat though) I really enjoyed.
this is actually shown in the monster hunter wilds trailer as on the back of the monster the character is riding you can see a light bowgun while he also of course has a great sword on his back. this could just be cosmetic and you cant swap them out but it may be a mechanic in the game.
I think the problem with adding new move for lance is that, the point of lance is for you to be hyper defensive which allows you to continuously whale on the monster when other weapon would need to dodge/reposition. defensive move capcom could add is guard, parry, and...that's about it really. there's dodging, but it doesn't seems like capcom want hop lance to be the main think. if they add too much offensive move, it won't be lance anymore. I think the best option capcom could add is probably self-buff (like anchor rage) or utility move (like clutch claw counter for easy tenderize).
A greatshield weapon would be nice to add with a blunt close range move set with a ranged "Captain America" shield throw combo that can deal slicing damage and provide a similar buffing playstyle like charge blade
I would love the return of tonfas, accel axe and/or magnet spike. I think if Capcom would like to bring back some type of clutch claw/wire bug mechanic, a whip weapon can probably bridge that gap. Use the whip to grab onto monsters like a clutch claw or to grab terrain for wire bug like movement. Of course to a balanced degree 😂.
I always wondered: would it ever be possible to “compress” two classes together? For example: lance and gunlance. I love both. Deeply so (used lance back then a ton, use gunlance nowadays because their skills were amazing) I’ll look this up more, but what prevents the two from merging? (Personally I just wish the gunlance had better button mapping for combos)
A different take on the boomerang type weapon would be cool. Close range melee, mid range throw. Like kinsect there is an option between sever and blunt. I would play that
Hear me now: a boomerang. A boomerang which combines fast sweeping attacks, like a long sword, but that can be thrown in order to, for example, take a monster down when its flying, or to stun it by aiming for it´s face. Also, it could have like a motion battery, similar to a switch axe, that gets depleted when throwing the boomeran, adding more damage and stunning capabilities, and refilled when hitting melee moves. And, when you overcharge this motion battery, all the melee attacks make you slide because of the unbearable energy your weapons has, making them harder to recover from. But also, when overcharged, you do not throw the boomerang, you can RIDE IT, to get on top of the monster and get rid of the overcharge with a massive mounting attack, similar to the magnet spikes plunge. I believe we need a melee/ranged hybrid weapon, and this is what i suggest.
For new weapon types that I'd like to see see... 1st.) Fist weapons. This is always my go to with new weapon videos in any game. Perhaps incorporate the move set of the Tonfas into a more punch-punch playstyle, focusing on fast hitting bludgeoning damage. 2nd.) The Frontier weapons. Speaking of "new weapons", just bring back and expand on the weapons Frontier players had. 3rd.) A proper spear archetype. No, not Lance, not Insect Glaive... I see the other comment threads. I'm talking about an actual spear. I'm thinking something along the lines of either the classic Myrmidon look or Wushu or literally any of the countless examples of spear-based martial arts we have in the world. 4th.) A smaller, faster, slashing counterpart to the Hunting Horn. Maybe something a long the line of "Blade Harp" or "Sword Sax" (The image of a Greatsword user with a saxophobe jutting from the back of the sword popped into my head and now I'm giggling).
Always wanted a fist/glove weapon. Blunt damage, but faster attack speed than hammer, rising uppercuts to hit heads. Sometimes you wanna punch a dragon in the face.
I think this is why having titles that are more willing to try crazy things with combat and weapons are important. I’m sure that titles like Sunbreak and frontier help evaluate what they can get away with and how comfortable people are with certain things. I have faith in capcom to nail the next game.
I would love to see even more weapons, they should bring back the tonfa and magnet spikes. With the game as it is now bringing those back would do them justice. They could be balanced if needed but personally I just want to see a advanced move set of the two.
honestly, since they'll never bring back prowler mode, it would be really cool if they compromised with a new weapon type that let you synergize attacks with your palico. i just wish they were more involved in the hunt. so why not an entire weapon moveset dedicated to it? or maybe the palico IS your weapon??? a palico launcher????
I think they could take a page from For Honor's book with the design. For Honor has I think 32 diferent warriors and each one feels like you're playing a completely different game. it might be a bit of apples to oranges with this comparison, but it's definitely possible to keep going in terms of weapon designs and functions.
Great Spear/Glave: Heavy mid ranged weapon with charge attacks and high damage combos. No morphing, no bugs, no shields. Maybe give it a meter that changes the moveset just like dual blades, but it would be fine if didn’t have one and play like great sword. Giving the roster more options for slow and heavy weapons
i agree that it would be more beneficial for capcom to try out a weapon in the next portable release but i do believe that they could take one of the already experimented weapons (my bias being towards the tonfas) and put it in wilds
I wish Monster Hunter Wild had a greater and better variety of tools for the hunter to use. example: the rise owl (and any equivalent) can be used to locate monsters and send items from one hunter to another; the return of the Mantles (and almost everything from iceborne and world, other than the clutch claw, including some moves that use the slinger and clutch claw), but better balanced and with a more interesting selection; the idea of being able to tame small monsters for support and mounting, but with it being more varied in functionality, such as speed, resistance to the environment, load capacity, types of tools such as the umbrella and the rise machine gun, etc; the rise wall run, but with the functionality of the world; the types of bombs and knives in the riser; have the palico gadgets system from world but with the palicos and palamute training and summoning system from rise; certain missions have as a reward the construction of shortcuts on the map, tools such as the GH battle tank or equipment for followers and even a ballista in a cart; and in addition, a greater variety of biomes, like a mine that some monsters use as an anthill or missions in inhabited cities/kingdoms/villages, like a cameleo stealing and causing chaos in a shopping center
Another dual wielding type I would say or a short range javelin where you can also use to throw.. maybe carry like 5 where they replenish after a while of throwing or you can pick them up off floor or off mobs 🤷🏻♂️
Skipping new weapons for gen 5 made a lot of sense considering how radically different it was than prior generations. If gen 6 is just an "open world" style then id expect one or two more weapons. If its a huge formulaic shift like world was then probably not
Monster hunter has so many offensive weapons. I hope a more trap based support weapon is added. Something like a whip/laso with additional trap slots that can stagger and trip of keep certain parts of the monsters from being used for a short duartion.
The best ones to add would be the accel axe and the tonfa. If each weapon has to have its pair then duel blades pair with tonfa and accel axe pairs with switch axe. Then charge blade pairs with SnS. All of these pairs make the most sense and maximize player interest.
My pitch: Hunter Martial Arts- a martial arts form and lifted from Street Fighter. Alternatively just add an invisible and alt animation weapon for each type like the Akuma skin from Rise/Sunbreak. Also add a ranged option for Ki Attacks. Dual Pistols-cross LBG and Dual Blades Whip- See Castlevania Giant Boomerang- mid range Great Sword like Sango from Inuyasha. You could easily crowd source the work for new weapons. Plenty of people would do the work for love of the game, see mod community.
Whilst we have the dual blades and sns for cqc i think it would be cool to have a transforming fist weapon. Something that builds charge and then can do a animation locked high burst dps beam not dissimilar to the switch axes discharge move
Ill be surprised if the new weapon isn't a slinger adjacent type weapon. That was fun in world and i miss it in rise. Constantly flipping through shit to throw a flame ball is awful and i guess i should just put it in my quick wheel but i dont know if it will allow be to throw all balls in my possession or if i haft to register each ball separately....not to mention the snake , cow trop locust , and skunks.
the slinger is confirmed to be coming back in monster hunter wilds as it is shown on the arm of the character in the trailer it is also confirmed we will be getting scout flies back as well cuz a scout fly cage is on the hip of the guy as well
Heavy and Light bow gun should be merged into one. And yes, we should definitely get a new weapon, I hope for a knuckles weapon to punch monsters with cool moves
It made sense to not add a new weapon in Gen5 considering the massive undertaking bringing Monster Hunter to current gen must've been. That said, if Wilds is open world like everyone thinks, it still might be a huge endeavor, and a new weapon still may not come.
I anticipate a drastic shift in the weapon system, but it won't be a new weapon. I predict a major change to how ranged weapons are treated - they may become a sort of "secondary" weapon that all hunters can access alongside their primary melee.
I think if we do get bew weapons, they need to be a hybrid of melee and range. Like a boomerang or some sort of flail. And no, ginlance doesn't count as such.
![BRASIL vs. PERÚ [4-0] | RESUMEN | ELIMINATORIAS SUDAMERICANAS | FECHA 10](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tbyOJKXfQnI/mqdefault.jpg)
I would love to see a spear. One niche they don't have is a midrange melee weapon, a fast thrusting weapon, or a melee/ ranged weapon. Spear covers all of these
Insect glaive? And if youre talking about a more phalanx, poke-poke style of spear then we have the lance? I dunno i feel like the spear has it’s representation. I’d like to see a whip as that was once shown in a spin-off monster hunter manga. Or hand-to-hand style would be cool.
I want to see a spear too! A weapon that has the lance range but is more focused on dodging than guarding.
@@JoseMartinez-yy5hhpretty sure that’s just evade lancing
How about this idea: Accel Spike, with a nimble, forward and backward movement heavy playstyle emphasizing thrusts with a long stick, and a hyperspeed charge like the former Accel Axe.
Most of that is lance.
I don’t play lance for the flashy moves anyway. Sure the claw counter is flashy but I like it more in that it’s an easy way to tenderize. Lance mains live for the “immovable object” fantasy and man I’m living it
as a lance main, I second this.
"Monster Fists" - they are exactly what they sound like. A hand-to-hand weapon style that shows off what a monster the hunters are. All the designs would be based on the weapons of monsters themselves. Claws, talons, pounders, paws, fins. Lots of potential there and would be interesting to see a super-shortrange, possible counterattack heavy playstyle.
soooo... Dauntless' Aether Strikers?
@@mrkyurem5499 or like dark souls/Elden ring fist weapons
Like the Tonfas in Frontier 😂😅 I would love to play with that weapon!
I want a giant boomerang. Close up blunt damage swung in wide arcs (we don't have a sweeping blunt weapon, both our blunt weapons are bonkers) along with stamina draining/charged throws that deal heavy blunt damage when aimed and return to you.
You may have figurd out my dilema. I was trying to think of a uniqe third blunt type weapon. boomerang is perfect
Oh that would be fun as fuck! Would fit these monster hunting weirdos super well!
This is idea would work so well for Monster Hunter world too 🔥
Sango approves of this.
I enjoyed the bind mechanic from rise, especially since you could bind elder dragons. An oversized needle mayhaps?😅
I think a neat idea were to divide all weapons into blunt and cutting subtypes.
There are hammer skins that are axes, are they cutting damage?
There are dual blades that are fists, are they blunt damage?
Almost every if not every melee weapon has skins that suggest a different damage type than what the weapon normally gives. If a weapon like say Lance doesn't, just add some with the new monsters introduced in the title. If they were to mix this up this could offer more play styles without adding more new weapons or need for massive weapon re-tuning.
Literally jsut made the same kind if comment. its not hard to program that. If a weapon is clearly bladed even in a typically blumt wepaon type it should do cut. Like the hamemrs that are axes. Or for isntsnce diablos clubs for db or barroth club for sns should deal inoact damage. That would add so much variety and flexibility
@@mudshrooze Think of the fun double blunt SNS or DB will be knocking monsters the fuck out, new stamina thief DB meta all without a serious weapon rework.
I'd love this shit so much. BLUNT ARROWS
I had the idea of using weapons with the moveset of a different weapon type. Using sword and shield with the moveset of dual blades, faster attack and the shield does blunt damage, maybe even guard points in the dual blade combos. Maybe you could use a switch axe with a hammer moveset, with it's big bang and charge attacks. I wanna use a great sword as an insect glaive and barely get 3 feet off the ground when I vault.
Only bad part is losing weapon identity + the damage calc. For weapon identity I feel like its always been a sentimental good idea that if you need horn break or stun monster you have to pick hammer or hunting horn, if you want to cut a tail, take a sever weapon. If they added a mechanic where there was blunt and sever subtypes then they would have to make the general diversity of each weapon be half and half sever and blunt or they would kinda lose out on a new mechanic. This would muddy the idea and many people could argue that if you ask someone what weapons they play they may only say dual blades cause they can do everything blunt and sever which kinda suck cause every weapon should have upsides and downsides so to have dual blades gain a blunt damage with half of the weapon group would take individuality from current blunt weapons. The second one is blunt or ko calc, stuff like dual blades would have to have massively low stun damage to offset the fast attacks and constant movement. I should say I have had the same sentiment and wished stuff like the Vaal Hazak hammer would do cutting damage but I think cost would outweight benefits. I still think its super interesting and I like it alot
I'd definitely love to see halberd/spear, the Demonlord Halberd longsword design is awesome and I want it to be a proper new weapon type.
I would like to see a fist/blaster weapon. Like a transforming katar that can be a blaster type of gun. This would also give them a chance to incorporate moves like shoryuken and hadoken… which I personally think would be cool 😅
07:40 this is btw the monster hunter world prototype.
Last time Lagiacrus was seen ._.
I would be interesting to see how a whip like weapon gets implemented into the game.
Yes !
Maybe a bladed chain whip?
There already is a whip from frontier too, they could easily implement
If we are getting another wepon I want it to be like fists or the whip they were showing off in that comic
I've always loved the idea of some massive "power fist" style weapon. I just love the concept of the pure badassery of a hunter beating up a massive monster with their fists
Impact gauntlets that use a phial charging mechanic, with the choice to use them all in a devastating haymaker or save some for a blast off mechanic similar to the slinger dive for dual blades in world.
I think a weapon that might share insects with insect glaive could help make insect glaive feel more integrated with the rest of the weapons, however it'd a bit hard to see what kind of weapon would ice that, in general i think a boomerang that has some ranged attacks along with melee blunt would be neat
I think that kinsects should be clasified as a pet type that you can carry with you if you want to... rise separated them from the glaive and gave them special techniques, they could allow players to wield a pheromone launcher(a reduced version of the mechanism the glaive uses to command kinsects) that operates kind of like a slinger and let us mix and match with other weapons... of course sword and shield will be cool with that.
So this weapon already exists in Wild Hearts in the form of the "Claw Blade", but I would like a Chain Scythe weapon to be introduced to MHWilds. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, but a hit and run swinging weapon would be so cool Imo. It could work like a whip that you could "Stab" into monsters to reposition yourself.
Alternatively, they could have a fist type weapon so you can actually punch the crap out of monsters. Martial arts combat with "grappel" mechanics (Similar to the Clutch claw) would also be interesting.
Would love to see them bring back the playable Palicos, personally
I think, if we'll ever see a new weapon, exactly because of the reasons that you mentioned in the video, would be right now.
Monster Hunter World was the best selling capcom game ever. Ever. So for the sequel of their all time best selling game, we can be sure they will throw all the money at it. Scratch another project to assemble a team to design a new weapon archetype would absolutely be in the realm of possibilities. And its not like there arent fleshed out ideas in place already. We have the Frontier weapons as well as concepts like the Wyverian Boomerang.
But maybe I am just biased and really really want a 4th ranged weapon in the game.
a giant boomerang that you can also use as a sword is something i thought of a while back and i think it would be so damn cool
I'd like to see a weapon that has the ability to go from melee to ranged more dynamicly. Insect glaive *sort of* does that a little bit, but not to a very satisfying degree. Either that, or a fully committed melee weapon, a fist weapon essentially, mixing a bit of blunt damage with dual blade-like tempo.
We already had that in the tonfas for the fist style gameplay, it was more acrobatic than dual blades, you could jump into the air with them and hit higher areas while hovering in place and they were fast! Unfortunately they were only in the mmo... I want them back so badly
Boomerang? Boomerang.
They introduce 4 type of kinsect in rise, the speed type kinsect is what you're searching for, it is what i imagine what kinsect should be in the first place
They should make weapons behave how they look. I remember seeing a straight axe designs act as hammers. Also remember when the longsword design was a greatsword and thinking how silly that was. When you see dual maracas you don't think cutting damage you see blunt. Maybe the best thing to do is just make the weapons do the thing they look like they should. An axe hammer or hunting horn would change the game more than a 15th weapon would! A blunt damage greatsword would be epic!
I imagine a TCS would insta KO anything
that would make a lot of weapon just irrelevant, certain weapons are already outperforming in each weapon type, imagine if a weapon type get's outperformed by another weapon type that'd be pretty stupid, and what would happen to layered weapons wouldn't everyone just use the "meta" weapon with the highest raw or elemental and sharpness and then choose the "meta" layered weapon that's most optimal for the specific hunts, that'd be weird and off-putting
Yea but that would make hammers kinda obsolete wouldn’t you think? If everything had the choice of using stun. But it could be kinda argued that hammer is already obsolete with charge blade in the picture.
He want that wild hearts logic and i agree
"They should make weapons behave how they look. I remember seeing a straight axe designs act as hammers" definitly no, game is already unbalanced enough with a lot of weapons, that would be insane.
My personal favorite weapon suggestion I've seen was gloves/gauntlets. Just fist fight the monsters. Would this be a _good_ weapon? I dunno, probably not tbh, but it'd be amusing.
I’ve said it for years but I think a solid weapon idea would be a giant boomerang like Sango uses in Inuyasha. A melee weapon with a ranged component that isn’t reliant on ammo or coatings would be a really fun addition, but so are 99% of my idea for weapons and I’m 0% sure they’re realistic.
The weapon Im the most desperate for is a punching gauntlet weapon like a slower high damage blunt dual blades, Tonfa are kinda like that but it's too fast and the airal moves are too much, but if they grounded the weapon and made is slower it would slip perfectly into the niche I want
Id also be happy to see the accel axe and medium bowgun return, and a whip/Flail weapon, a spear, and mabye a dual Crossbow type weapon after that I think all niches would be filled and we don't need more
I also don't want to see Magnet spike, that shit can stay in frontier
The only argument for why implement a new weapon in the portable game as opposed to Wilds I can see if "They are already adding so much new stuff", which at this stage isn't really much of an argument to begin with. We don't know exactly how much they are going to change with Wilds and how resource intensive it is going to be. There could easily have been enough dev time and resources in order to development multiple new weapons for all that we know.
Also, do consider that they could reintroduce some of the Spinoff weapons as well, which probably would be less work since a lot of the groundwork is done, they just need to make it work in a modern game. The Tonfa would be my pick
Exactly. Saying that is also like saying underwater combat shouldn't come back for the same reason. So far he's definitely shown a track record of coming up with poor excuses or over exaggeration which isn't a good sign since he acts he knows what mh is supposed to do or be despite not actually knowing
it be cool if we have to find relics of the tonfa ,magnet spike , accel axe and a new weapon type and reverse enginer them
I would love to see a whip or a boomerang. I think it would be really refreshing, there could have a lot of flashy moves. Also this would bring a new mixed melee/range weapon type !
Medium Bowgun enjoyers:
I want a sword/whip. Single handed fast strikes. With a short range sword mode and medium range whip.
Absolutely ! It would be awesome !
Chain and sickle kusarigama
I’d honestly love to see some kind of knuckle-type weapon that just lets you run up to monsters and punch them directly in the face.
Would honestly work insanely well with the Street Fighter collabs MH loves to do.
Personally i jsut want the world newcomer monsters to have their weapons redesigned to be in line with pre world and rise design. ...they need it.
Also...i want a couple wooden versions of every weapon. Like the chaos tree in rise was a dream come true but i would have loved to see a chaos wepaon for each type
.
Also something that could make combat more flexible. Make it so that if a weapon is clearly a club or blunt even if its a sns or db or gs etc...make it do impact damage and not cut. That way the diablos duel blades or Barroth sword and shield would actually be clubs. Not just reskinned knives
All the world monster weapons were poopoo except nergi and vaal(not sure if vaal was new to world)
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrinhe was. But a couple others got treated properly Odogaran and Zorah Comes to mind. But like Xeno the final boss before iceborne....what a bummer. And I'm saying that as world is my most played and overall favorite mh game. However having started with 3U, played 4U, Generations and now Rise. The design issues with worlds weapons are so extreme. I get what they were going for but it didnt pan out so well
Imagine they add a chain thing that lets you whip a chain around a monster and pin the monster down!
A flail would be the most interesting addition a game like this could have. A giant spike ball attacked to an exaggeratedly long chain. It would fit the over the top aesthetic of the game and add a very unique weapon not seen in a lot of titles.
Kusarigama - chain and sickle
I just want to have some (not quite as crazy as rise) aerial and counter playstyles for weapons. Especially dualblades and hammer get so much from aerial attacks because there are so many monsters that are out of your reach
As long as they make combat smart and not button mashy and actuslly give weight to the heavy weapons again.
Rise is fun but they ruined horn and hammers feel completely. And as a horn main since 3U i bonestly hate what they did.
@@mudshrooze I do think Worlds HH needs some quality of life changes. Like being able to move while playing and bigger and more accessible memory of notes. Also faster encore ore similar. Playing and accessing songs is a bit too sluggish in MHW. It should remain a parto of the HH but made a bit less of a chore. Also the motion values in MHW where kinda low. But I agree that it should not become the weird blunt spinny dualbladelike thing without real music playing like it is in rise.
@@uSil031I forget, did world display the songs on screen with the button prompts or was that a pc mod that I wasn't aware of? I've seen it in videos but I don't remember that from when I last played before my pc died
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrin Yes it did. It would also store the last three melodies you played which you could access via button combination. I would love to be able to access way more than the last three through maybe a radial menu for example.
What about just a bigass shield that you can throw and dash with like the Aegis from Hades? That would be cool. That or maybe a harpoon type weapon would be cool.
Whilst I’m not exactly a monster hunter fan I kinda know what you’re talking about, something like rooster/power creep right?
I wonder how long players will be satisfied before getting restless without a new weapon, and how it will be dealt with in the future 👀
Personally id like to see an additional blunt weapon that's not just a giant bonk.
Maybe something closer to the SnS profile but more technical.
Im sorta imagining something like a hydrolic tonfa that charges up through combos to deliver a short range but heavy impact attack.
Tonfa
I personally don't see the need for a new weapon. If they don't add any other one I'm ok, I already main 6 weapons and don't plan on changing any of them. On rise I needed to learn 12 playing stiles what made me really bored and on sunbrake another one I barely got to the basics. I truly don't want that again. One I can take if needed be because I want to try one weapon I haven't used yet, but I have already 4 I haven't touch so I don't mind.
I want a settings option to swap hands, i need S&S right handed.
I agree with you. Another detail is that right now all the weapons are actually grouped into pairs, as illustrated by the streamstones used for high rank augmentation in the base game in world. The only two that aren't a great match imo are bow and insect glaive.
Whenever they do eventually add more weapons, I could see them adding two to keep the pairings. Perhaps a boomerang as a simple ranged counterpat to the bow. As for IG, im not sure, maybe something like tonfas to match its aerial melee theme, alternatively another weapon that features a pet.
The frontier weapons like the Tonfa's would be pretty cool, or even some kind of gauntlet weapon that could charge up similar to a charge blade or switch axe, to do more powerful attacks for a limited time. Also lance peaked with the Agnaktor Lance in Tri imo, as being able to drill into a thunder lizard under water, was so incredibly satisfying or even doing the same to Agnaktor with the Barioth lance felt extremely rewarding, but after leviathans more or less disappeared from most of the mainline games, i felt like Lance became more of a meme than anything else.
Accel axe, my beloved :(
Gauntlets, which are split into two categories:
Blunt - Heavy gauntlets, punching, attacks are only slightly faster than the hammer but they are just as powerful, high chance to stun monsters if landing a lot of punches one after the other
Sever - Claws, a lot of wild slashing attacks, fight like a rabid animal, fast & mobile, lots of jump & lunge attacks, high affinity
Or maybe it's all one weapon and you can switch from punching gloves to claws and combine their movesets. And if you time the attacks correctly when switching from punching to slashing, you attack faster & deal more damage.
They could also do what Wild Hearts did and have swords that can turn into whips. Except instead of a katana, it's a broadsword. Like, a cutlass, a dadao or a khopesh. It can hit a monster multiple times with one swing in whip form. Has a lot of range to make up for it's moderate damage. Dual wield maybe?
A mace/one handed hammer that turns into a flail for more range and more impact. Increased part break chance when in flail form. Paired with a medium sized shield that has spikes at the front. If you time a block right, the monster takes damage from the spikes and gets pushed back. The spikes remain attached to the monsters and depending on what type of weapon you have equipped, it will affect the monster in different ways. If you have a poison weapon & shield, it will cause poison build-up on the monster. If it's a blast weapon & shield, the spikes eventually explode.
Or maybe chakrams. Can be used both in melee and as a throwable weapon at the same time. You throw them and they come back like boomerangs. Can charge up a throw to either hit a monster multiple times or to hit multiple monsters if they are next to each other. I can even imagine Nargacuga chakrams that look like giant shurikens.
A rapier that can turn into a spear. A lot of fast thrusting attacks in rapier form, very agile and has high affinity. Relies heavily on having to dodge a lot and then taking the opportunity to unleash a flurry of attacks. So basically, you dodge an attack, go in and attack, dodge again, rinse and repeat. The better you time a dodge, the more damage you deal.
Slower attack speed and movement speed in spear form, but has more range and deals slightly more damage than when in rapier form. Can charge attacks for more damage and impact, which can push monsters back or knock them to the ground. The spear can be thrown at a monster and it will remain attached, dealing continuous damage to the part that it's attached to, which causes said part to eventually break. But you will have to go and retrieve the spear if thrown. The spear can also be thrown at other surfaces, such as walls. You can use it to then climb up higher to either ambush a monster from above or to catch your breath before jumping back down.
Dual handcannons. Wield two large pistols that closely resemble a revolver. Depending on the monster that they're made from, it can have one of the two following firing modes:
Burst fire, for a more agile and chaotic playstyle. Has low damage and can be innacurate at times, but you have high mobility which allows you to quickly reposition yourself after each shot and is very effective at aerial combat. Also has very fast reload speed. You can flourish the pistols to increase movement speed even further. Requires perfect timing however.
Single shot, for a more slow and methodical approach, meaning that you shoot once with each pistol and then you have to reload, so choose your shots carefully. Boasts high precision and high damage. Shots are so powerful that they can break parts with 2 - 3 shots from each pistol. They are heavier than their burst fire counterpart, resulting in a slower reload speed and movement speed. Has a devastating charge up shot, where you use both pistols at the same time. The charge shot pierces through monsters, breaking all parts caught in the way and can even hit monsters that are behind them. However, you will then have to wait for a couple of seconds for the weapons to cooldown, due to them overheating. Keeping the pistols holstered during combat, will have you do a fast shot with both pistols when you attack again. You also gain increased reload speed and affinity damage for a few seconds.
I really want a fist weapon of sort, like tonfas or something else
It would just be fun to beat the monster with your fists
Tonfas were in the spin off Monster Hunter Frontier so there's a shot for them to bring tonfas if they brought in Espinas from that game for Sunbreak
I totally agree that the next portable title would be a great time to consider adding a new weapon. My personal pick would either be a spear for a melee ranged hybrid weapon, or a mainline game rework of one of the past spin off weapons. My favorite of those is definitely the accel axe because it’s really cool in concept and is way less overloaded when compared to the tonfas and especially the magnet spike.
So from the comments I see 3 cool suggestions:
1. Boomerang: agree on that. Would be pretty neat and would fit in perfectly. Short range blunt weapon, medium range throwing weapon = awesome. Maybe there could be cool combos where you start short range, then there is a jump backwards with a throw and as soon as the boomerang comes back your character can charge into melee again with a special attack.
2. Fists: like that as well. My idea would be to give them something like 3 stances.
Light stance = fast attacks with dodge heavy gameplay. Emphasis on hit and run tactics where you slowly whittle down the monster (this stance could be useful when you want to play it safe while setting up traps, learning a monsters move set or when the monster is enraged)
Medium stance = slower but a bit more powerful attacks with the option for dodges or counters (this would be your standard stance for quick engages and the ability to stay close but you are less mobile)
Heavy stance = slow attack with high damage but weaker defensive options (for when the monster is stunned/down or you know you have an opening)
Additionally you could also introduce grapple as one comment suggested.
The gameplay would revolve around knowing when to change stance and to use it properly. There could also be attacks/blocks that are unique to stance changes like for charge blade. Maybe you even charge Ki or something like that, that can be used for special attack ... but maybe that is already too much.
3. Whips: was also my first idea but I would actually prefer the other two. But it could be cool to have a close to medium range melee weapon that has a strong focus on using your weapon for mobility.
i wanna see large bulky gauntlets like Vi's from arcane (i thought it suits the bulky nature of monster hunter weapons) , and instead of it being super "mashy" and quick combos i feel like it should be more focused and centered around timing and opportunity (sorta like boxing) and i've seen people point out the fact that they want kicks but idk that wouldn't really make much sense so i would imagine it more like a medium speed brawler type weapon that throws some nasty hooks and uppercuts maybe even have a meter for it so that when you get better timing it would reward you into a big finisher type move like the longsword anime slash or a rocket powered falcon punch move of some sorts.maybe add a some sort of parry or defense move like putting your hands up to block and voila, you got that mike tyson build you always dreamed of
not really sure how sheathing/unsheathing your weapon would look like though so i think that might be enough reason for them to not add it in, if that's not possible then i would love a scythe type weapon
Capcom should have zero reason to struggle creating a new weapon. Even though I love MH games they are literally just reskinned games with the same monsters. The only new thing with each game are the maps, one new combat feature, and handful of new monsters. I find it hard to believe they don’t have the time, resources, or creativity to give us a new weapon
Assuming it focuses more on open world, we definitely need a new weapon that can cover huge distances like magnet spike's attack that lets it attach to a monster far away
A new weapon needs a new purpose. Like a fighting style. Maybe like a ball in change swinging in circular motions. Hit the button at the right time and you keep up circular motions. But now it's just a ranged hammer. Switch hammer? Lol. Bring back the gravity weapon.
Forget a new weapon, give me the option to switch dominant hand! I’m tired of constantly feeling off by swinging my sword with the left hand!
i'd like some sort of whip weapon. dodge attacks like ls, long range attacks that attract you towards the monster like a forwards wirebug.
maybe some heavy attacks could do stun damage, it could also whip other players out of snowman status and sleep.
tonfas could be cool weapons as well. another stun weapon, air combos, constant and oppresive playstyle.
If they don’t add a new weapon I really hope they keep the Iceborne changes at least.
Wilds is the perfect game to introduce a new weapon type. Many people jumped into this great franchise with MH:World. Thus, giving them a new weapon will make them come back.
World was already perfect for a new weapon. Rise even more perfect (like Kusari-gama, batons, gauntlets, etc). I wouldn't be surprised that instead of adding another weapon, Wilds launches with not all 14 basic weapon types from the start.
@@thenonexistinghero I disagree. Capcom would never again ditch out some weapons from MH games. It's not going to happen. Games will always be shipped with 14 weapons. They learned the lesson in Tri. Always include all of the weapons to not upset fans. They can add weapons not subtract them.
Regarding World being the best game to introduce a new weapon type, again, I disagree. If they can do it, they'd probably subtracted weapons from World not add more. Just to simplify the game even more, to reach a wider audience.
Now they reach that wide audience and they can promote the new game with new weapons to justify it.
@@Kara_Pabuc Capcom already cut out the final 15% or so from base Rise to deliver it in the form of DLC. Tri already came out 14 years ago in Japan, over 15 years by the time MH6 releases so 'lessons learned' don't exactly count.
And yes, it is easily possible for Capcom to launch the game without all 14 basic weapon types. They can just use the excuse that they do that to give them extra polish and then release them later. Capcom has learned that releasing content in a certain way works to keep content fresh for longer and they most certainly aren't above doing that for weapons.
I'm not saying it will happen for sure, I'm just saying that... you shouldn't be surprised if it does happen. Capcom wants Monster Hunter to be like live service games. It's just far more profitable. And I don't think they're going to follow the same kind of schedule they did with World/IB and Rise/Sunbreak. They did that, it worked, but they no doubt want to push it further with MH6.
@@thenonexistinghero Not sure what you're talking about regarding Rise. I am talking about weapon types like longsword, greatsword, chargeblade, dual blades etc. There are 14 weapon types in MH games. They did cut weapon types in original Tri and never ever do that again. They are not going to, say, drop sword and shield in the Wilds. It's not going to happen. The chances are 0, nil.
@@Kara_Pabuc And that's where you're a completely delusional fanboy. Capcom doesn't care about the fans, they care about the money. If they think cutting weapon types and releasing them later will lead to more profit, they will do that.
Personally, I'd love to see the tonfas come back as blast tonfas that combine short-range, blunt attacks similar to dual blades with explosive charges for both damage and mobility tricks.
I think 14 isn't close to how many weapons they can add I think I saw around 5 or 6 amazing unique ideas that could happen, I think we will get to that time of it being hard to add something unique maybe at the 24/25 weapon mark?
we only have 2 blunt weapons, a quick hitting staff would be very cool, we only have 2 morphing weapon, a weapon that switches between blunt and sharp modes 1 to gain energy and 1 to expel it (maybe like tonfas but can morph?) a melee range weapon hybird like a great shuriken + gloves to punch them into the monster and they act like boomerangs? a axe weapon that focuses on heavy quick chops that drain stamina and need perfect positioning (and while that would arguably be a mix between GS and hammer I think that is such a nice sweet spot for a new weapon imo)
thats 4 weapon ideas that can be expanded into full MH weapons that add new playstyles I though of/remembered on the spot!
also I think if they add new weapons it will be even numbers from now on just because it makes the UI look cleaner lol
also for the new models and VFX they had to do redo them all with world (yea models sucked in world but capcom were in a really bad spot when world was being developed), and maybe even with rise because it was a new engine + the palamute all had new armor and weapon designs for them! I don't think there will be any net negative knowing that wilds is on a better engine with a bigger budget and a bigger team than world's
will I be mad that we don't get a new weapon? nope as long as our weapons still get updated and the game itself is really good I won't get sad over it
I feel like somewhere along the way they have to bite the bullet and put a new weapon into the main franchise. Given the nature of always online gaming, its pretty unlikely we'll ever see more than 1 main series game per generation going forward. Were far more likely to receive an expansion set similar to how World got Iceborne from now on. Which means if you are going to add a new weapon to the main franchise. It either comes with launch, or comes with a expansion.
I could see the possibility of a new weapon coming with an expansion, however that might prove somewhat troublesome aswell. My primary concern being the expansion is likely to build apon the existing weapon tree like previous titles, does it really seem worth while to go back and add a whole pre-expansion weapon tree for content everyone is about to move-on from playing? Move-sets are likely to be expanded once again (assuming Wilds trims them back again, Longsword I'm looking at you) meaning that's all the more effort the designers have to put into trying to give the weapon not only a base move-set but and expanded one as well. Personally, I don't necessarily like the prospects of that either.
Regarding Gen 6 specifically, Honestly it might be the best time to add that 15th weapon for the main series anyway. My personal feeling is that its apparent that World set the groundwork for what Wilds will expand on. I don't think well see quite the same re-imagining of what MH:World was to MH:4 as if you think about how much changed it was rather extreme.
Personally, when it comes to what they should add. I like the idea of reaching back into the catalogue of existing non-main franchise weapons, my personal vote would be Accel Axe. But I can also see Tonfa's as a likely candidate as well. I think the magnet spike is interesting, but a lot of what was build into its kit for Frontier feels like it got reworked into clutch-claw for Iceborne. Obviously no confirmation that its returning (please no tenderize capcom). Honestly, I haven't ruled out the possibility that we get not one, but two new weapon for Wilds. But thats just my two cents on the matter.
I'd like to be able to carry two weapons of my choice, actually. I think it would be interesting.
As someone that mains bowguns, I would love to be able to carry an alternate weapon(that isn't the stupid ass gunbow bonks). A boomerang would be a wonderful new addition and would pair well with gunbows as a ranged melee weapon :D but regardless of that, two weapons would be great
That idea has kind of been implemented in the Stories series (if you are sleeping on Wings of Ruin , then stop sleeping and wake up and play it. Its awesome)
Your character can ghave 2 or 3 weapons in your "tool belt" ready to swap in combat. Stories is also heavily the reason why Rise made mounting the way they did. It's like in between Hunter and Rider while also being a magical Ninja. Rise is ...over the top haha. But that's not all bad. Many design choices I wasnt necessarily for. But some especially weapon design (not the combat though) I really enjoyed.
this is actually shown in the monster hunter wilds trailer as on the back of the monster the character is riding you can see a light bowgun while he also of course has a great sword on his back. this could just be cosmetic and you cant swap them out but it may be a mechanic in the game.
We need a scythe. Its a really cool weapon and it would make a cool collab with Soul Eater.
Imagine farming monster with farm tools
I want to see the accel axe return
I think the problem with adding new move for lance is that, the point of lance is for you to be hyper defensive which allows you to continuously whale on the monster when other weapon would need to dodge/reposition. defensive move capcom could add is guard, parry, and...that's about it really. there's dodging, but it doesn't seems like capcom want hop lance to be the main think. if they add too much offensive move, it won't be lance anymore. I think the best option capcom could add is probably self-buff (like anchor rage) or utility move (like clutch claw counter for easy tenderize).
A greatshield weapon would be nice to add with a blunt close range move set with a ranged "Captain America" shield throw combo that can deal slicing damage and provide a similar buffing playstyle like charge blade
I would love the return of tonfas, accel axe and/or magnet spike.
I think if Capcom would like to bring back some type of clutch claw/wire bug mechanic, a whip weapon can probably bridge that gap. Use the whip to grab onto monsters like a clutch claw or to grab terrain for wire bug like movement. Of course to a balanced degree 😂.
I always wondered: would it ever be possible to “compress” two classes together?
For example: lance and gunlance. I love both. Deeply so (used lance back then a ton, use gunlance nowadays because their skills were amazing)
I’ll look this up more, but what prevents the two from merging?
(Personally I just wish the gunlance had better button mapping for combos)
A different take on the boomerang type weapon would be cool. Close range melee, mid range throw. Like kinsect there is an option between sever and blunt. I would play that
Tonfas, Magnet Spike and Fist Weapon To Wilds
We had a fist weapon in the tonfas technically. But if they could make the fists unique from tonfas then I welcome it(wouldn't be very hard tbh)
I’m still holding out hope for the wyvern boomerang from that unused concept art awhile back to be a real thing.
Hear me now: a boomerang.
A boomerang which combines fast sweeping attacks, like a long sword, but that can be thrown in order to, for example, take a monster down when its flying, or to stun it by aiming for it´s face. Also, it could have like a motion battery, similar to a switch axe, that gets depleted when throwing the boomeran, adding more damage and stunning capabilities, and refilled when hitting melee moves. And, when you overcharge this motion battery, all the melee attacks make you slide because of the unbearable energy your weapons has, making them harder to recover from. But also, when overcharged, you do not throw the boomerang, you can RIDE IT, to get on top of the monster and get rid of the overcharge with a massive mounting attack, similar to the magnet spikes plunge.
I believe we need a melee/ranged hybrid weapon, and this is what i suggest.
I would love to see the Magnet Spike come back. That thing was awesome.
Otherwise a melee/ranged weapon like a boomerang would be awesome.
For new weapon types that I'd like to see see...
1st.) Fist weapons. This is always my go to with new weapon videos in any game. Perhaps incorporate the move set of the Tonfas into a more punch-punch playstyle, focusing on fast hitting bludgeoning damage.
2nd.) The Frontier weapons. Speaking of "new weapons", just bring back and expand on the weapons Frontier players had.
3rd.) A proper spear archetype. No, not Lance, not Insect Glaive... I see the other comment threads. I'm talking about an actual spear. I'm thinking something along the lines of either the classic Myrmidon look or Wushu or literally any of the countless examples of spear-based martial arts we have in the world.
4th.) A smaller, faster, slashing counterpart to the Hunting Horn. Maybe something a long the line of "Blade Harp" or "Sword Sax" (The image of a Greatsword user with a saxophobe jutting from the back of the sword popped into my head and now I'm giggling).
I just want them to bring back the Tonfas or Magnet Spike from Frontiers man. both of those weapons were so cool
Always wanted a fist/glove weapon. Blunt damage, but faster attack speed than hammer, rising uppercuts to hit heads. Sometimes you wanna punch a dragon in the face.
7:40 dude, rewatching this, I feel so bad for Anjanath, he is terrified and can't get up lol😢
I think this is why having titles that are more willing to try crazy things with combat and weapons are important. I’m sure that titles like Sunbreak and frontier help evaluate what they can get away with and how comfortable people are with certain things. I have faith in capcom to nail the next game.
I would love to see even more weapons, they should bring back the tonfa and magnet spikes. With the game as it is now bringing those back would do them justice. They could be balanced if needed but personally I just want to see a advanced move set of the two.
honestly, since they'll never bring back prowler mode, it would be really cool if they compromised with a new weapon type that let you synergize attacks with your palico. i just wish they were more involved in the hunt. so why not an entire weapon moveset dedicated to it?
or maybe the palico IS your weapon???
a palico launcher????
i would seriously like to see the accelaxe back
not even a new one just a returning one so i guess that would be slightly less resource expensive
I think they could take a page from For Honor's book with the design. For Honor has I think 32 diferent warriors and each one feels like you're playing a completely different game.
it might be a bit of apples to oranges with this comparison, but it's definitely possible to keep going in terms of weapon designs and functions.
Great Spear/Glave: Heavy mid ranged weapon with charge attacks and high damage combos.
No morphing, no bugs, no shields.
Maybe give it a meter that changes the moveset just like dual blades, but it would be fine if didn’t have one and play like great sword.
Giving the roster more options for slow and heavy weapons
i agree that it would be more beneficial for capcom to try out a weapon in the next portable release but i do believe that they could take one of the already experimented weapons (my bias being towards the tonfas) and put it in wilds
I wish Monster Hunter Wild had a greater and better variety of tools for the hunter to use.
example: the rise owl (and any equivalent) can be used to locate monsters and send items from one hunter to another;
the return of the Mantles (and almost everything from iceborne and world, other than the clutch claw, including some moves that use the slinger and clutch claw), but better balanced and with a more interesting selection;
the idea of being able to tame small monsters for support and mounting, but with it being more varied in functionality, such as speed, resistance to the environment, load capacity, types of tools such as the umbrella and the rise machine gun, etc;
the rise wall run, but with the functionality of the world;
the types of bombs and knives in the riser;
have the palico gadgets system from world but with the palicos and palamute training and summoning system from rise;
certain missions have as a reward the construction of shortcuts on the map, tools such as the GH battle tank or equipment for followers and even a ballista in a cart;
and in addition, a greater variety of biomes, like a mine that some monsters use as an anthill or missions in inhabited cities/kingdoms/villages, like a cameleo stealing and causing chaos in a shopping center
imagine Monster Hunter weapon: WHIP with maybe claw or sth like that
Another dual wielding type I would say or a short range javelin where you can also use to throw.. maybe carry like 5 where they replenish after a while of throwing or you can pick them up off floor or off mobs 🤷🏻♂️
Skipping new weapons for gen 5 made a lot of sense considering how radically different it was than prior generations. If gen 6 is just an "open world" style then id expect one or two more weapons. If its a huge formulaic shift like world was then probably not
Monster hunter has so many offensive weapons. I hope a more trap based support weapon is added. Something like a whip/laso with additional trap slots that can stagger and trip of keep certain parts of the monsters from being used for a short duartion.
The best ones to add would be the accel axe and the tonfa. If each weapon has to have its pair then duel blades pair with tonfa and accel axe pairs with switch axe. Then charge blade pairs with SnS. All of these pairs make the most sense and maximize player interest.
My pitch: Hunter Martial Arts- a martial arts form and lifted from Street Fighter. Alternatively just add an invisible and alt animation weapon for each type like the Akuma skin from Rise/Sunbreak.
Also add a ranged option for Ki Attacks.
Dual Pistols-cross LBG and Dual Blades
Whip- See Castlevania
Giant Boomerang- mid range Great Sword like Sango from Inuyasha.
You could easily crowd source the work for new weapons. Plenty of people would do the work for love of the game, see mod community.
Fist fighting the monster with martial arts seems too out there but dual pistols sounds awesome
Whilst we have the dual blades and sns for cqc i think it would be cool to have a transforming fist weapon. Something that builds charge and then can do a animation locked high burst dps beam not dissimilar to the switch axes discharge move
Ill be surprised if the new weapon isn't a slinger adjacent type weapon. That was fun in world and i miss it in rise. Constantly flipping through shit to throw a flame ball is awful and i guess i should just put it in my quick wheel but i dont know if it will allow be to throw all balls in my possession or if i haft to register each ball separately....not to mention the snake , cow trop locust , and skunks.
The slinger is one of the best things about world. However the clutch claw while fun I i hope doesnt come back. Same with Wire Bug
@@mudshrooze
What if they all fused together to make one weapon? What would you call it... hunting sling ..slinger mace.....yeah slinger mace.
the slinger is confirmed to be coming back in monster hunter wilds as it is shown on the arm of the character in the trailer it is also confirmed we will be getting scout flies back as well cuz a scout fly cage is on the hip of the guy as well
Bring back gun parts. Like in tri to have small medium and large guns. Then add a weapon... maybe
Some elemental fast bludgeoning weapon would be interesting
i want to see a great shield, maybe gauntlets if they aren't just shorter range hammers, maybe just lance without a shield,
Heavy and Light bow gun should be merged into one. And yes, we should definitely get a new weapon, I hope for a knuckles weapon to punch monsters with cool moves
It made sense to not add a new weapon in Gen5 considering the massive undertaking bringing Monster Hunter to current gen must've been. That said, if Wilds is open world like everyone thinks, it still might be a huge endeavor, and a new weapon still may not come.
I anticipate a drastic shift in the weapon system, but it won't be a new weapon. I predict a major change to how ranged weapons are treated - they may become a sort of "secondary" weapon that all hunters can access alongside their primary melee.
i either want another ranged weapon or another blunt weapon, or both! we have plenty of blade representation
I think if we do get bew weapons, they need to be a hybrid of melee and range. Like a boomerang or some sort of flail. And no, ginlance doesn't count as such.
I’m fine with new weapons so long as they don’t feel overwhelming or too fantastical like some of the weapons introduced in frontier.
I started playing dauntless and it really made me want a new weapon in monster hunter, theyre so unique and fun on there.
sry if this is a dumb question but which game is this? 8:00
Early concept footage of World, there were plans to include Lagiacrus but was ultimately left out of the game.
I wanna see a fist weapon or some nunchucks that’ll be pretty cool
A trap master would be nice
Would pair sooooooo nicely with gunbows! I love maiming gunbows and having something that has a synergy with them would be perfect for me!
7:56 dude Longsword isn't even in the top 3 of the strongest weapons. they really should nerf the ranged weapons
