Btw, the shieldiest weapon, as I heard (sadly can't play the beta cos of territorial restrictions), really needs some help (somehow even more now). Is it true? How's non-Gun Lance?
Non-Gun Lance lost its counter guard for every poke you do. Now, it's only after 3 pokes, with triangle doing triple thrust and o doing the counter guard. Imo, makes lance essentially useless, now that gl has its counter guard now with reload guard. TLDR, they made lance dogwater. Turned from a good weapon that wasnt favourable to undeniably the worst by far. Hopefully they reinstate the counter guard
@@thehooman4705, yeah, that sounds disturbing. Though, not so long I watched one video, that explained a bit more about newer Lance (so as commenters there - thx them for accumulating power stance info), so now I'm more like "cautiously curious" rather than "fearfully disappointed". As links doesn't work in the comments, just type "You May Not Be Happy - My Lance Beta Thoughts" in the search bar, if interested. It's from Nova Bushido channel.
I was kinda sad about there not being a 15th weapon (or new weapon) announced for this title, but I think they have done a great job of really improving the feel of EVERY weapon. Now I feel like I want to pick up multiple weapons I previously wanted nothing to do with i.e., Gunlance, Dual Blades, Bow.. This is going to be GOY potential.
Hear me out, have you tried it? Being able to get all the extracts at once from a wound is WILD (heh), and transforms the kinsect into a sort of pawn/tool... True, aerial combat missing is a pity, but let's not underestimate the new tools@@pinecone-yt69
Come join the Iron breakers, hunter! Also if you are serious about checking out Gunlance, go look up Rurikhan, he is hands down the most accessible GL content creator and is extremely knowledgable about everything gun lance!
@@gravitee0 dude chill out LMAO. insane leaps in logic there for no reason. i've mained GL since 4u. but i've always hated lance for no particular reason. even in games that it was strong in. until recently, where I picked it up in world and really enjoyed it for the first time. sometimes certain playstyles aren't fun for everyone. as a longtime GL player, world gunlance wasn't really my favourite, but I'm loving its iteration in wilds. shout out to @FGoing here for broadening their horizons!
@@gravitee0 chill dude, im not tier list chasing. I just swap my weapon everytime i play a new monster hunter. In 4 Ultimate it was LS In World it has Hammer In Rise it was S&S and now i want to try Gun lance, so sorry if I bother you with my swap, but thats how its gonna be Edit: btw i forgot to mention the reason i choose GL to begin with was because i love how the new mechanic looks when you stop a monster with your weapon and GL looked the coolest with how you stopped it with your shield and then send the monster packing.
Gunlance is a beast now! I was a gunlance main in world and now the weapon is like 5 times more fun! By the way. The fast wyvern fire can be done after a perfect guard, any of the whyrmstakes or after a wyvern fire.
It is objectively less mobile here with the removal of blast dash, but the mirco adjustments with shell step and focus mode to realign yourself is really wicked! Can't wait to see what the game cooks up
@@makosaltaccount9658 more mobile compared to main titles. The portable titles like rise and such shouldn't be counted because they're always way crazy compared to the main titles in movement
I just came to watch this cuz I miss the beta😢. But as a gunlance main I’m so excited for these changes, being a more mobile and hard hitting tank is gunna be so fun. I can’t wait to get my hands on a challenger mantle too that way my bowguns and long sword guys can do damage. (Side note, you can also perfect guard other players attack so if someone is knocking you out of combos just start guarding their attacks and farm the guard counters off them too.)
GL looks so cool. I'm tried MH before, but Wilds got me. I enjoyed HH and GL so much. But I'm still open to learning more about the weapons with the guides here.
I'm hoping, that the elements will be viable not only as multi-hit beneficiars this time and more like seperate ingame mechanics (heat up and weaken something metal, cool of smth malding, clean of protective layers and etc.), that MUST be utilized for different gaming experience (at the end I will elaborate this thought). We already got smth close to this idea with Wolrd's/Icebourne's Barroth and Lavasioth as more obvious examples (Alatreon done it really bad, making element just another raw, but with obligatory number check; I'm saying this as certified "elementalist" hunter, mind you). But single weapon at hand made it so only slinger pods were used, and even them - by the minority (why many people hated Lasavioth btw). General public just think about single most universal option - physical raw. And understandable so, cos crafting 5 weapons is a lot more, than 1 and only + most useful moves on many weapons (like GS, as a perfect example) suck with elements and even statuses, so if you want to play with that options as GS hunter, you need to spam charged round slashes (which are even longer for preperation, than basic charged slashes LOL; and yeah, motion values are NOT the part of the ingame information as additional problem to elemental builds). So if we as players can use elemental weapons as hunt-flow changing feature, I think it will be better for everyone. What I mean: e.g. you hunting Doshaguma with raw - fight goes as usual. But when you use fire weapon, your attacks burn it's fur and skin, dealing additional tick damage, but Doshaguma then rages more and faster, also using new wide rolling attacks to prevent fire spreading. Thus you either can hunt medium difficulty, but longer, or use faster option with more risk. For thunder it can be so Doshaguma fears Rey Dau, thus fighting more cowardly, usually calling for its pack for help and usilng more ranged attacks, throwing boulders and ceratonoths as a method of fight prevention. Whereas thunder itself can have implemented stun status affliction accumulation (like KO and Exhaust on the head, but slower and every hitzone), cos Doshaguma is, for this case, weak to lightning. Just imagine, how this implication can make very monster even more unique of an experience for players!
an alternative would be to make wyrmstake do a MV of your gunlance's element atk, could be a way to make elemental gunlance be more than a slaplance exclusive
I was planning on playing Lance in Wilds but had more fun and did way better with Gunlance. Funny thing is the Gunlance was the weapon in MHFU demo was what got me into the series, but I didn't like it very much in the main game, after 14 years I will finally main the weapon that got me into the series.
It’s crazy how many people have never played GL before, it’s been such an incredibly fun weapon in every game. Also I’m so glad they brought back the mounting from World
But we're not gonna have the rocket ride from Rise? That was the most fun thing about it and made me fall in love with gunlance as I could easily reposition and even charge with it.
When performing wyrmstake full blast, make sure you are using the new aim function. You will not miss the attack anymore. Love the new gunlance. definately going to be my main weapon.
I'm a gunlance main and I gotta say the new changes and combos are amazing. My only complaint is that I really want blast dash to come back. It made keeping up with faster monsters so much easier allowing me to keep pressure up. I would gladly trade charged shelling for it. Other than that my god does the new wide sweep shelling combo feel good!
Wanted to switch to a different weapon for wilds and loved the lance gameplay, so I also tried the gunlance too, after testing GL I just found it to be a "better" lance because for me it's juste a lance with the gun bit added but I know it can't be that simple so wanted to know, lance and GL mains can you explain why you chose one and not the other/ the differences to help me make my decsision ?
Lance is a reactive weapon, using a monsters moveset against it. Play lance if you like always keeping uptime on monsters and learning their kits. Gunlance is a combo weapon, built to put out DAMAGE. Play Gunlance if you like to do combo strings and deal big bursts of damage.
The moment I was able to change my weapon, I picked up the gunlance. I'm excited to see how much damage I can get from skills when full release is out.
I usually try a new weapon for much of the story before coming back to Gunlance, but not this time. The weapon just feels so vicious and brutal this time. Like an unyielding juggernaut. We’re coming back home to Gunlance, boys!
Was thinking of using lance for my wilds play through but after watching this video is clear to me gunlance is the cooler cousin of the lance so guess im using this instead!
I always try a new weapon to main each title, and I chose gunlnce way back when the game was first announced no real reason, looks like I’m gonna have a lot of fun
Not sure how I feel about the changes. I never played Rise but World/Iceborne felt like a heavyweight boxing match. It wasn't about fancy combos but when and where to stab/shell/blast. Dodge/Block and hit and decide what move to follow with. Not slide all over the place like dual blades or longsword.
Real quick since no one is talking about this the lance has the dragoon move in the new trailer but it’s not in the BETA….. so yea the weapons are missing moves themselves could be the skill arts coming into wilds.
I know this isn't an insect glaive video, but if you haven't already discovered it, please showcase the ability to cancel out of the aerial helicopter with a charged O dive attack. It helps the flow of the weapons aerial mobility so much more and the helicopter makes it so much easier to get the charge timing in. 🙏
Sure would be nice to see the non-PlayStation controls in the weapon guide videos. I realize the pc and Xbox versions aren’t out yet, but maybe wait for the weapons guides until then
I know most people use them, but I really hope you can put alternate buttons up on screen for people who don't use controllers once the full game comes out. It was a bit painful having to translate the guide for world into keyboard inputs.
Am i the only one whos upset they took the "rocket lunge" away from the GL? They introduced it in Rise and when i tried it, I fell in love. I became a GL main, but now with that gone i feel way less mobile. Back to hammer I guess :/
rip blast dash. ngl as much as I am excited about the new moves, not being able to blast dash into a downward thrust to close the distance and play super aggro and stay in the monster's face will always be a bit disappointing to me. I'm still hopeful that it'll be in the dlc though!
Shields up- sorry, wrong channel.
Iron breakers!!!!

I'm so glad they brought back the quick reload guard point! Valor style gunlance in MH Generations had it and it rocked
It was in rise and Sunbreak. Amazingly fun. Especially on Wide Gunlance.
@@curts7801thats probably why i didnt mind it as much in rise. It was terrible in world
Gun lance looks amazing. Never really given it a fair shot before. Looking forward to changing that in wilds
Trust me its usually not this diverse. In older games you get stuck in the same boring slap, slam, boom combo for everything
Gunlance main here, I can't wait!
It is epic, had so much fun using it!
Check out the lance too, wasn't feeling the gunlance as much for whatever reason
Went from swaxe to gunlance cuz of the beta
Soo many more moves, more combos, and, most importantly, more mobility.
Somehow, they were able to make the Funlance MORE fun! :D
Gunlance is quickly becoming a favorite for me. It's amazing.
love it. Gunlance main all the way! Also already planned to try hunting horn as well so that's just perfect lol.
I’m a HH main but looking to make gunlance my secondary!!! Hoorah
@@skyboundzoo I was planning to main HH, but when I tried GL in the beta I got kinda hooked
As a gunlance main, I cannot wait to use it in wilds! I will miss the blast dash though 😢
I love how Gunlance has been re-worked to be the ultimate offense-defence weapon. SO. MANY. GUARD POINTS.
Rocked with GL in every MH so far, I see no drawbacks, It’s gonna be crazy for sure can’t wait!!🔥🔥 Thanks for the video 💯
I was kinda sad about there not being a 15th weapon (or new weapon) announced for this title, but I think they have done a great job of really improving the feel of EVERY weapon.

Changing focus to toggle is super useful for gunlance imo
Love gunlance
gimme me gimme me gimme me moooooore :) i ´m preloading it right now... so hyped
Hope you have a bunch of fun on it, I want to see how it plays on PC myself!
Been playing since PSP and never dabbled in lances before, but absolutely loving the gunlance in Wilds.
Never really played the lances, but i think the gunlance will my weapon this time around
I hate these tier list chasers lmao
Never played it because what? It’s low on the “tier lists”? Just stick to LS buddy boy

Let's go Thank you 😩❤️❤️

I cant wait for this.
gunlance main here! I absolutely love this iteration!! The best GL has ever been
Man I love gun lance been using it since world and the changes are pretty sweet.
That Wyvern’s Fire on the the Chatacabra in the beginning was just devious 😂
Still hoping for elemental shells...

Reading the tooltips so I don't have to :D thanks for the guide

GUN LANCE GUN LANCE GUN LANCE
I was originally planning for a boring bow & longsword combo but after watching this video... I'm tempted to try GL
Love the feel of the new gunlance.
Its been my main since freedom unite.

Gun Lance eating good!
Wyrmstake full blast is awesome, I'll definitely be using GL a lot just to spam it.
I was interested in this game planning to make a cowgirl
oh boy were my prayers answered even further when I enjoyed GL in the demo
It will be a clutch for my Main Weapon Gunlance or Charge Blade when Wilds releases. Gunlance in Lead by a slim Margin.
Funlance looking quite fun
Not maining, but secondary with CB, swapping between the two at any point I choose during PS Plus early access beta has been glorious
Man, I’m gonna miss the ability to fly like in monster Hunter rise. That was hella fun to be a flying gun lol.
I'll probably secondary it later on. Still going to main GS with HH as secondary. I like SA and hammer as well.
But we're not gonna have the rocket ride from Rise? That was the most fun thing about it and made me fall in love with gunlance as I could easily reposition and even charge with it.

Aw I was hoping to see if you become a tank on the back of the seikret when using gunlance to fire shellings at the monster while running
Waiting on the Insect Glaive guide Fr ❤️
I know it might not sit well with many people, but I really hoped that Bullet Barrage would be included, in some form... I really loved that thing.
Really hope we can blast dash too. As a gunlance main everything seems so much better in the beta but will be missing the dashes
Was thinking of using lance for my wilds play through but after watching this video is clear to me gunlance is the cooler cousin of the lance so guess im using this instead!

With so many of the weapons getting block buffs and counters, I wonder what the lance is gonna look like
Impatiently waiting for bow video.
😆
👀
Gunlance has come a long way since Unite.
New Perfect guarding system. Do you mean Lance’s system?
Also it should loose sharpness from shelling like for real? Why does it not loose sharpness?
Next Lance, please. I wonder if it can actively hit with a shield like in Rise. I don't like the hammer, but I like strike damage.
Shelling doesn't reduce sharpness is a game changer, I don't need to sharpen every 3 wyvernstake burst anymore
Man, I really really hope bugstick keeps advancing roundslash from Rise. Forget the counter-jump thing, just the hits and gapclose please.
Gunlance seems to be now what I wanted Charge Blade to be. Guess I'll be ditching the pizza cutter and switching over to the boomstick
Hunting Horn next please
Sure would be nice to see the non-PlayStation controls in the weapon guide videos. I realize the pc and Xbox versions aren’t out yet, but maybe wait for the weapons guides until then
How hard would it be for a longtime lance/chargeblade main to get into the gunlance?
Not long at all. You're already halfway there by using lance and cb.
i was really hoping for a semi blast dash
Does shelling deal part damage?
I didn't like GL in world. Hammer will always be my main, but GL has earned its spot as my secondary weapon
Miss the rocket gunlance
I'm gonna miss the blast dash but... mobile shelling let's go!!!
4:16 yeah this is why i play greatsword lol
I hope there's a second beta. I didn't play enough
Insect glaive!!!
Gunlance is definitely more complicated than Charge Blade, I hope it steals the complicated weapon throne.
Do i have to play online or can i also play alone offline?
yo hunting horn will end up being probably one of the most used weapons because let’s say endgame you main one weapon, you just use HH to buff it.
I know most people use them, but I really hope you can put alternate buttons up on screen for people who don't use controllers once the full game comes out. It was a bit painful having to translate the guide for world into keyboard inputs.
I miss the wirebug movements... I Just want unload everyting in onde click 😢
I never understood why we had to sharpen the barrel of the gunlance
Am i the only one whos upset they took the "rocket lunge" away from the GL?
They introduced it in Rise and when i tried it, I fell in love. I became a GL main, but now with that gone i feel way less mobile. Back to hammer I guess :/
