Just found you. I pray you blow up when Wilds comes out. I assure you if you’re releasing guides like these right s the game comes out you will blow up. Great video!
No joke, I’ve played this video on repeat for the past 2-3 days now LMAO. Got me through the start of Master Rank to Malzeno. I practiced with the top most, basic, standard dot Kamura LBG but ended up using and loving both the Goss Gun and Golm Gun. It’s insane how much information you put in and how entertaining this video is! The transition at 13:01 always got me LOL! Well done and thank you!
I'm at Sunbreak endgame but felt like trying out LBG for the first time - this was exactly the video I needed! Informative and also hilarious. Thanks!!
This is, hands down, the best guide video I have ever watched about anything. Amazing editing with good humor with on-point information. Awesome job, and thank you!
I am almost 300 hours into MHR and it is really the first MH that I have ever really played and understood. Been playing with the Sword and Shield for that whole time and decided to give the light bow gun a chance. Thank you for such a comprehensive video as it answered most of my questions and now I just need to start learning and hunting. Great work!
I used to switch between Heavy & Light Bowgun, but after they added the Wyvernheart and Wyvernsnipe on to HBG, I never went back. Still, this is a great guide to help bring me back to LBG. Being able to move without feeling like I'm carrying a sofa might be nice.
Loved the video, the comedy, in depth details (for me who has never ever played bowguns ans was looking for something to switch it up a bit) job well done. Subscribed.
I was just gonna' watch a segment of this well-divided video, but it started right off by making me laugh, so I got the feeling that I should watch the whole thing. I was not disappointed at all. Nicely done, man.
Incredible, exactly what I was looking for. Shocking that nobody has sat down and explained it like you have here. And it was funny as hell to boot! 10/10, you got yourself a sub
By far one of the best LBG videos. While being humorous at that. Great video and thank you for the breakdown. Gives people what they need to do there own thing and understand the weapon , not just a " build this video"
I actually just tried a rapid normal build yesterday, and this video just reminded me that I wasn't doing enough damage because I forgot the long barrel lmao. I'll try it again today.
Godamnit! I thoroughly enjoyed your guide! Perfect balance of useful info, sarcasm and jokes (nice editing too). Looking forward to more of your content. 👍
Getting back into mhr now that Wilds was announced. Used most weapons in the monster hunter series but never could really understand/get into the bow guns. Decided on using the light bow gun and have been using this vid as my guide! Great video, informative and entertaining! Really fun and well done editing for this video. I thought you would’ve had more subs haha. Earned one here!
Prob one of the best MH related videos i've watched, if it wasnt such a niche topic it would of gathered crazy views dude. Whatever shit youtuber needs, you've got it. I was just looking for some lgb sunbreak gameplay, ended up watching entire thing lol.
Absolutely amazing video. I started with MH Generations, so I’ve been around a while to figure things out, but a good weapon guide does wonders for people getting into new weapons. I play mainly blademaster weapons, so this is a great refresher before changing playstyles! Great job!
Trying LBG out for the first time - this style of comedy and informative content is fantastic. You're well poised to do fantastic work come Wilds my man. I look forward to it!
Few things to consider, afaik critical fire power is 30% on Normals, 20% on spread and 10% on pierce, the issue with spread is how much distance you lose due having to run with a silencer vs a long barrel (which also slightly boost damage) and the loss of valueable size 2 slots for tune up along the time lost if you need to reposition as spread with long barrel has actually a pretty decent distance to deal full damage which helps with your uptime on dealing damage to the monster. Also mech shoot has niche uses for those few monsters were breaking a part can really help the fight, like Barioth legs or metal raths heads, though it shouldn't be an issue as it's easy to keep both of them on different skill scrolls. Also haven't mathed it out but if you are deploying the 3 mines I'm not sure going for the stronger hit is a good idea as you trade time (due being flown away from the barrels) plus charges from your mines due the strong hit, vs being able to detonate your mines 4 times and then let the monster hit them for the 5th for a stronger explosion, I usually deploy mines on head, put barrels on hands or middle body were they won't hit the mines and start exploding the barrels via a N1 shoot that doesn't hit the monster for the 2x damage then switch back to S3 for the head + mines. Lastly which helps with the above, you can arrange your ammo menu as it's based on their order in the ammo pouch, I tend to keep ammo I do not use (such as S1 for crafting) while useful ammo is on the first/second as last/seconds to last slots as it's easy to switch between with just 2 taps, I would also recommend disabling ammo autocrafting as the materials to craft ammo are far more valuable than the ammo itself due how easy it is to farm zenny.
Actually didn't know that Critical Firepower affects the ammos differently. Doesn't change my opinion on it much or the use case. You still basically need it, though I suppose Pierce can get away with not having it. Run ballistics 3 if you're having trouble with critical distance with the silencer, you get plenty of range. The difference between low and average recoil is waaaaay too much to miss out on.
@@VaulickTheCrow I agree. The critical firepower on spread is the only way to reach its maximum dmg output. And also ballistics 3 pretty much negate all distance drawbacks. If you can afford it, critical firepower should always be on
Really fun video, I've been seeing a ton of people playing LBG online and figured I'd pick it up since my Dual Blades are lacking in damage. Thanks for making this guide!
Ayyy!! Saw your channel in iixxion's video "Monster Channels Reviewed, Pt.2" & decided to drop by to say Hi!! This is a great guide btw!! Very entertaining and informative. I didn't just skipped to Build Crafting. I watched the whole thing for your retention time 😁. Thank you for making this video. GG, Vaulick!
Great content. Just started playing this and only got into Monster Hunter World twice for 40hrs each and got bored, didnt get really far. This game seems more interesting to me but there is so much to learn I almost gave up.
I generally don't have the time of day for dry 30-40 minute rundowns on weapons in Monster Hunter games, but man, this is just so well presented and concise, I love it. Phenomenal work :)
If you take 40 minutes to beat a monster with ANY weapon, you just suck at Monster Hunter. I beat freaking Primordial Malzeno in 15 minutes... With Gunlance... Shelling only BTW
This was awesome man! I'm new to using LBG in sunbreak, last time I used it was in MH4U lol I've just been mainly using gunlance, swaxe and wanted to get into the gunner genre again with LBG I watched this upload and was definitely well informed on everything 👍
Just started Rise with the release on console. Watched a few videos, with build suggestions all over the place. Now I don't need to worry because I just got a crash course with an influx of knowledge with some juicy comedy sprinkled in. Now I'll make my own build, and I will love it every single time I get my booty cheeks clapped.
Nice information, trying out different weapons now that I'm starting to get into the endgame, and my bow builds are soo elements dependent and wirebug and stamina heavy
Yeah, I'm all about dem raw builds. Elemental is technically better especially with the whole Dragon Conversion thing... but I do a lot of rando hunts and I hate having to constantly change. Bow I never gelled with, just too hectic for my taste. I don't like being dancy pantsy all the time. Bowgun is a lot more direct. Glad you like the vid.
oh my god I just finished a rakna kadaki hunt with my pierce lbg, lord all mighty it was the most satisfying hunt in my life, beautiful orange numbers galore.
Slicing ammo pre sunbreak was so damn good for dps. Used the zinogre lbg with rapid fire slicing ammo and the hunts went by quickly. Mech silkbind is actually a good one for breaking monster parts, helps to do it much quicker and paired with partbreaker makes for really quick breaks.
Yes use shrapnel, if you've got a lot of small monsters around that you need to get rid of so they don't interfere or if the monster has a Wyvern Blast attached to it. Silkbind glide can cut tails. Mech shot has increased mount and part damage of you hit the crystals that stick to the monster, good for people like me whose personal goal is to break the monster rather than get the shortest time. And thank you for including the music titles, I knew I heard a Bomberman track and was able to confirm it.
When you have sunk way too deep into the Bowgun customizations that you finally are going to use bad deviation to efficiently use pierce/elemental pierce ammos. I'm about to sink into maddness.
I'm a long time Gunner Main, both Heavy and Light, but I figured I'd watch the video because I consider myself very casual of a player. I don't use Spread Ammo much or Wyvern Counter at all! I use the Fanning Maneuver and Vaults with Elemental Reload and Quicksteps to move all over the place and blast Monsters from a distance lol I'm not very fond of being up close without a shield lmao
I have no interest in lbg, was looking for a video for a friend to watch and still stayed 27 minutes to watch it all lol. Awesome video mang! Thank you.
I've decided that after maining 3 melee weapons, I want to expand my weapon mastery with a ranged weapon, and I'll learn LBG. IDK if how up to date this guide is, but still has a ton of useful info
Very informational Video. Used to be an LS main and then I got bored of the weapon (not in a bad way - LS has a special place in my heart lol) so i tried bow. But then again - u guessed it. I got bored (again not in a bad way xD). Then i tried HBG and LBG and was not surprised with HBG since ive already got to play it back in world but when i touched the LBG - maaaaaan. Also as ive said earlier, very informational video. When i was looking for builds, i never really knew what’s what and what does this and that do for the skills. Always just relied on the builds i saw online thinking oh okay maybe this is the best one out there but then thanks for the info regarding the specific skills. Subscribed. 👍🏾
Thanks for the video. I think Mech Silkbind Shot comes in handy for elemental LBG. This is because you can't carry a whole lot to craft elemental (pierce) ammo out on the field. Usually I'll have just enough to last the first and second zones that the monster travels to, but sometimes I do run out before the monster moves to the third zone so that I can restock at camp. However, if I pad it out with Mech Silkbind Shot, then I'll always have enough to last the entire duration of the second zone. This is for multiplayer anyway, not sure how I would fare in solo hunts.
That's a good point. There are times in multiplayer that I'll even run out of Spread 3. But I use the Gaismagorm LBG which fires all level 3 physical shot types, so it doesn't matter much. I generally never run out solo, if I run out in multiplayer it's because I'm doing way more than my fair share of the scaled damage.
I play mostly HH and most likely I will probably never try another weapons (I just freaking love the HH) but damn this video was good. The guide made the LBG look easier to play with it now and it was funny too! 👍
Just about all bowgun builds are "affinity builds". Rapid Fire doesn't have a special interaction with it. Your comment is a little confusing. Affinity is a flat way to increase damage and you should endeavor to reach 100% on your build in all but very, very few circumstances. Also, don't use Normal 1s in real hunts. You're crippling your damage. Even using Normal 2's is almost a 50% increase in damage. You get infinite Normal 1s because of how substantially weak they are. Their use is primarily for small monsters. If you're hunting alone, then it doesn't matter. Whatever floats your proverbial boat. But if you're hunting online, please attempt to do all the damage you can. Other people need to deal the damage you don't as the monster's HP scales per player.
@VaulickTheCrow light bow gun dmg is best used with elements in most cases. More reliable since you can always meet a criteria for it where as others neex to craft melee for it with varying stats. Yes both do well but affinity shines with rapid fire due to multiple hits meaning multiple chances to increase overall dmg to up to around 5x dmg per shot than a single shot
@@anonymouswv101 That's uh... not how affinity or Rapid Fire works. Elemental damage also can't utilize affinity without the "Crit Element" armor skill. Even just Rapid Fire is 70% damage per shot, meaning it's 2.1x damage, not 3x base. Can be raised by 20% per shot with Rapid Fire Up(not sure if multiplicative or additive). So around 2.7x. With 100% affinity and Critical Boost maxed, you're looking at a 3.74x multiplier. Not 5x. Additionally, Rapid Fire even at lowest recoil isn't as fast as single firing. Meaning it's not the DPS increase you would think it to be. It's more ammo efficient though. You also very much need to craft different bowguns for different elemental shots. Especially if you're talking about piercing elemental shots, which have lower motion values to account for the amount of times they can potentially hit a monster. Also, affinity is a percentage. No matter if you shoot successive shots via Rapid Fire or use single shots, that percentage is going to balance out. Because it's a percentage. Which of course won't matter if you get it to 100% like I said you should be doing earlier. I digress though, you are either a very confused individual, English is not your native language, or you are a very convincing but benign troll. I honestly can't tell. Either way, I have contributed to this as much as I'm willing and won't respond again. I wish you well. Peace.
@VaulickTheCrow you misunderstood, that 2.1 with crits gets the 125% dmg boost taking it upwards of 5x dmg, with 100% affinity of course but in my testing more often than not about 70% is pretty consistent. Also what do you mean that's not how elements work? Somethings weak to fire you take fire rounds and element critical or boost to do more dmg. That's straight up how it works.
I will say, if you use the LBG fanning vault, the shrapnel will always hit the monster, AND, the bomb you just planted, so long as it's within range of the weapon. If you like the bombs, bring along some shrapnel.
Even though I don't explicitly state the bomb/shrapnel relationship, I do show it in the video. Though sadly enough, it isn't as damage efficient as just shooting the monster in the face :(. Great for breaking the backs of most monsters though.
I'm not new to the lbg, but I still watched this whole video due to your informative yet comedic style. Major props!
:D
Never was any good at it but I can guarantee if you like speed and ranged atks, it's a ballpark win.
Same for me
Just found you. I pray you blow up when Wilds comes out. I assure you if you’re releasing guides like these right s the game comes out you will blow up. Great video!
No joke, I’ve played this video on repeat for the past 2-3 days now LMAO. Got me through the start of Master Rank to Malzeno. I practiced with the top most, basic, standard dot Kamura LBG but ended up using and loving both the Goss Gun and Golm Gun.

I'm at Sunbreak endgame but felt like trying out LBG for the first time - this was exactly the video I needed! Informative and also hilarious. Thanks!!
That's me as well! I want to main one of the ranged weapon after mastering 3 melee (Gunlance, Switch Axe and Insect Glaive), and I picked LBG.
your editing, voiceover, humor, and flow are so excellent. definitely deserving of a sub!
This is how a guide should be, very detailed, while also being very entertaining 👏
This is, hands down, the best guide video I have ever watched about anything. Amazing editing with good humor with on-point information. Awesome job, and thank you!
your editing is so good 🤣 I came for a guide on the Light Bowgun but stayed for the humor, great video!
I am almost 300 hours into MHR and it is really the first MH that I have ever really played and understood. Been playing with the Sword and Shield for that whole time and decided to give the light bow gun a chance.

I do occasionally like the HBG, but yeah... it can feel awfully cumbersome to use. There is something freeing about using the LBG.
Loved the video, the comedy, in depth details (for me who has never ever played bowguns ans was looking for something to switch it up a bit) job well done. Subscribed.
Thanks for the comprehensive video, I've been messing around with LBG in MR after watching this and have been having fun with it!
This video was a masterpiece. Finally a guide that I can sit through in its entirety and was sad when it ended.
I was just gonna' watch a segment of this well-divided video, but it started right off by making me laugh, so I got the feeling that I should watch the whole thing. I was not disappointed at all. Nicely done, man.
Been a monster hunter fan for years but this is the first time I’ve encountered one of your videos…. And this is easily my favorite. Good work
The Morpheus "he's beginning to believe" took me out 😂😂😂😂
probably one of the best editiing and informative tutorial on light bowgun, thanks
Incredible, exactly what I was looking for. Shocking that nobody has sat down and explained it like you have here. And it was funny as hell to boot! 10/10, you got yourself a sub
The FF7 OST during heavy information cuts really rock, mate. Subbed
You deserve way more subs. This was a great amount of information and your sense of humor made it entertaining throughout as well.
Found this video today, I just started rise about two months ago. This was a huge help!
Dude this guide is the best I’ve seen yet for a mh guide, never thought I would laugh so much from a guide too
Easy to follow, great explanations, very well structured and the right kind and amount of humor, you deserve way more subs dude
Looking to start a bowgun class this is PERREFECT
By far one of the best LBG videos. While being humorous at that. Great video and thank you for the breakdown. Gives people what they need to do there own thing and understand the weapon , not just a " build this video"
appreciate the humor inserted throughout, quality guide, will def keep eyes open when mh wilds comes out
I can’t tell you enough how good as funny this was. Thanks :)
I know I'm late to the party, but you deserve more subs. The info is hugely appreciated and you did a hell of a job making this!
I love the tone, the humor and the explanations are clear! You deserve a lot more exposure!
Bro this guide was phenomenal, the structure, the straight forward explanations and the tempo and combined with your stupid humor, I f*ckin loved it!
I actually just tried a rapid normal build yesterday, and this video just reminded me that I wasn't doing enough damage because I forgot the long barrel lmao. I'll try it again today.
Godamnit! I thoroughly enjoyed your guide! Perfect balance of useful info, sarcasm and jokes (nice editing too). Looking forward to more of your content. 👍
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Once I do a couple more Elden Ring videos, I'm probably going to make a Switch Axe guide as well.
Getting back into mhr now that Wilds was announced. Used most weapons in the monster hunter series but never could really understand/get into the bow guns. Decided on using the light bow gun and have been using this vid as my guide! Great video, informative and entertaining! Really fun and well done editing for this video. I thought you would’ve had more subs haha. Earned one here!
just tried to use LBG for anomalies, and this is the first video of yours that I see, love your style and vey informative! keep up the good work
I recently started my LBG journey. This video gave me all and even extra info I didn't even know. Thank you for making this video.
Haven’t played since Valstrax came out so I’m easing back in. Thanks for the refresher homie 😘
Great video thank you , I used to run duel blades but recently got into lightbow gun some would say I’m having a blast!
Came to this video for a guide but ended up getting a good laugh while also learned about the LBG. Good stuff
Prob one of the best MH related videos i've watched, if it wasnt such a niche topic it would of gathered crazy views dude. Whatever shit youtuber needs, you've got it. I was just looking for some lgb sunbreak gameplay, ended up watching entire thing lol.
This was brilliant. Your sense of humor is golden.
Absolutely amazing video. I started with MH Generations, so I’ve been around a while to figure things out, but a good weapon guide does wonders for people getting into new weapons. I play mainly blademaster weapons, so this is a great refresher before changing playstyles! Great job!
I'm learning the light bowgun and this video has helped me and I haven't decided on which ammo type to go with so that part is hard for me
I always recommend Spread ammunition. Highly mobile, highly damaging. It is high risk, high reward though, so be sure to be up to date on defense.
Trying LBG out for the first time - this style of comedy and informative content is fantastic.
You're well poised to do fantastic work come Wilds my man. I look forward to it!
Not an lbg noob but come back to this guide regularly just for the comedy
This is one of the best guide videos I've seen, please keep doing what you are doing and hopefully you'll do the same for Wilds!
"Because it's easy. And it does a lot of damage." Man those DS cartoons were so good.
I only ever touched that gun in the Arena Quests. Now I learned alot about it. Thanks for the knowledge.

My computer will not accept any controller anymore so I'm starting over with KB+M and I figure light bowgun is my best shot. Great video!
I’m way late to the party but this editing is top notch. Fuckin hilarious too.
Really fun video, I've been seeing a ton of people playing LBG online and figured I'd pick it up since my Dual Blades are lacking in damage. Thanks for making this guide!
Ayyy!! Saw your channel in iixxion's video "Monster Channels Reviewed, Pt.2" & decided to drop by to say Hi!! This is a great guide btw!! Very entertaining and informative. I didn't just skipped to Build Crafting. I watched the whole thing for your retention time 😁. Thank you for making this video. GG, Vaulick!
Wow. This is the first video every first try gunner must see!!
This video made me smile, we need more smiles. Also, after seeing this video and in the best matrix sense: i Know Light Bowgun
Great Light Bowgun video!!! Made me a subscriber. Keep it up!!
Thank you for this video. I was thinking of maiming the LBG. This has helped me confirm my decision and how to use the weapon
No problem my dude.
I thought this was amazing so I subscribed, also I need to see your elemental builds.
I ain't got none lol. But it probably wouldn't be a long video to make, so I will definitely think about it.
That sweet sweet Bomberman Hero music is chef's kiss. Lol.
Great content. Just started playing this and only got into Monster Hunter World twice for 40hrs each and got bored, didnt get really far. This game seems more interesting to me but there is so much to learn I almost gave up.

Man i was so excited for the scarface switch skill, at least it turns your damage into mounting damage
i love your video editing bro !
Rise is my first monster hunter, I thought I didn't like the game, but then I switched to bowgun and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
Yeah, it's a bit rough the first time 'round.
The other weapons can be pretty rewarding once you get the hang of them though.
Incredible content! I see much success in the future.
Amazing video man!!! I may now try the LBG
Going a long way toward pushing the channel forward
I'm doing my part!
Just started Rise with the release on console. Watched a few videos, with build suggestions all over the place. Now I don't need to worry because I just got a crash course with an influx of knowledge with some juicy comedy sprinkled in. Now I'll make my own build, and I will love it every single time I get my booty cheeks clapped.
Hilarious and informative. Great video! Will definitely look into the gaismagorm lbg.
Lancer here, wanna try the LBG since that is what 90% of the people joining my lobbies have. Thanks for the informative video!
God dammit I love hearing the Wall Market song in here that shit gives me major serotonin.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Enjoyed the humor as well!
this was informative yet suuuper hilarious! kudos n thanks!! :D
Thanks for the guidance. I really needed a shoota for soloing rampages.
fantastic video, keep up the great work
Nice information, trying out different weapons now that I'm starting to get into the endgame, and my bow builds are soo elements dependent and wirebug and stamina heavy

oh my god I just finished a rakna kadaki hunt with my pierce lbg, lord all mighty it was the most satisfying hunt in my life, beautiful orange numbers galore.
0:14 Yes you can. I believe in you.
Love the video, it’s really fun and informative

When you have sunk way too deep into the Bowgun customizations that you finally are going to use bad deviation to efficiently use pierce/elemental pierce ammos. I'm about to sink into maddness.
Lol, I bid you good luck with your mad adventures.
You must learn to curve the bullet.
"... Because it's what's on the inside that counts, specifically these bullets and getting them inside a monster"
I'm a long time Gunner Main, both Heavy and Light, but I figured I'd watch the video because I consider myself very casual of a player.
I don't use Spread Ammo much or Wyvern Counter at all! I use the Fanning Maneuver and Vaults with Elemental Reload and Quicksteps to move all over the place and blast Monsters from a distance lol
I'm not very fond of being up close without a shield lmao
You know its bad when a lobotomized lance main (me) has the Abyssal Hailstorm and zero other non-lance weapons in my inventory.
That joke intro was god tier funny
I have no interest in lbg, was looking for a video for a friend to watch and still stayed 27 minutes to watch it all lol.
Awesome video mang! Thank you.
I've decided that after maining 3 melee weapons, I want to expand my weapon mastery with a ranged weapon, and I'll learn LBG. IDK if how up to date this guide is, but still has a ton of useful info
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. IT WAS VERY FUNNY AND INFORMATIVE AND YOU ARE GREAT
Caps lock is cruise control for cool.
"Starts BFG Division and loads the Spread Shotgun".
Time to hunt.
Awesome guide! Thank yoi
ABSOLUTELY HARD EARNED SUBSCRIPTION BROTHER + the crow is the best creature in existence (and turtles)
CAW!

That was the goal, too much how and not enough why in so many of the videos.
I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for the video. I think Mech Silkbind Shot comes in handy for elemental LBG. This is because you can't carry a whole lot to craft elemental (pierce) ammo out on the field. Usually I'll have just enough to last the first and second zones that the monster travels to, but sometimes I do run out before the monster moves to the third zone so that I can restock at camp. However, if I pad it out with Mech Silkbind Shot, then I'll always have enough to last the entire duration of the second zone. This is for multiplayer anyway, not sure how I would fare in solo hunts.
That's a good point. There are times in multiplayer that I'll even run out of Spread 3. But I use the Gaismagorm LBG which fires all level 3 physical shot types, so it doesn't matter much.
I generally never run out solo, if I run out in multiplayer it's because I'm doing way more than my fair share of the scaled damage.
I play mostly HH and most likely I will probably never try another weapons (I just freaking love the HH) but damn this video was good. The guide made the LBG look easier to play with it now and it was funny too! 👍
No one will blame you for sticking to the doots. Everyone appreciates the buffs.
Rapid fire is for affinity builds. Spraying even normal 1s with high affinity can net crazy dmg for the lazy light bow gun user 😊
Just about all bowgun builds are "affinity builds". Rapid Fire doesn't have a special interaction with it. Your comment is a little confusing.
Affinity is a flat way to increase damage and you should endeavor to reach 100% on your build in all but very, very few circumstances.
Also, don't use Normal 1s in real hunts. You're crippling your damage. Even using Normal 2's is almost a 50% increase in damage. You get infinite Normal 1s because of how substantially weak they are. Their use is primarily for small monsters.
If you're hunting alone, then it doesn't matter. Whatever floats your proverbial boat. But if you're hunting online, please attempt to do all the damage you can. Other people need to deal the damage you don't as the monster's HP scales per player.
@VaulickTheCrow light bow gun dmg is best used with elements in most cases. More reliable since you can always meet a criteria for it where as others neex to craft melee for it with varying stats. Yes both do well but affinity shines with rapid fire due to multiple hits meaning multiple chances to increase overall dmg to up to around 5x dmg per shot than a single shot
@@anonymouswv101 That's uh... not how affinity or Rapid Fire works.
Elemental damage also can't utilize affinity without the "Crit Element" armor skill.
Even just Rapid Fire is 70% damage per shot, meaning it's 2.1x damage, not 3x base. Can be raised by 20% per shot with Rapid Fire Up(not sure if multiplicative or additive). So around 2.7x.
With 100% affinity and Critical Boost maxed, you're looking at a 3.74x multiplier. Not 5x. Additionally, Rapid Fire even at lowest recoil isn't as fast as single firing. Meaning it's not the DPS increase you would think it to be. It's more ammo efficient though.
You also very much need to craft different bowguns for different elemental shots. Especially if you're talking about piercing elemental shots, which have lower motion values to account for the amount of times they can potentially hit a monster.
Also, affinity is a percentage. No matter if you shoot successive shots via Rapid Fire or use single shots, that percentage is going to balance out. Because it's a percentage. Which of course won't matter if you get it to 100% like I said you should be doing earlier.
I digress though, you are either a very confused individual, English is not your native language, or you are a very convincing but benign troll. I honestly can't tell. Either way, I have contributed to this as much as I'm willing and won't respond again.
I wish you well. Peace.
@VaulickTheCrow you misunderstood, that 2.1 with crits gets the 125% dmg boost taking it upwards of 5x dmg, with 100% affinity of course but in my testing more often than not about 70% is pretty consistent. Also what do you mean that's not how elements work? Somethings weak to fire you take fire rounds and element critical or boost to do more dmg. That's straight up how it works.
This is a great video!! Can you make a Heavy bowgun video?? Please
I will say, if you use the LBG fanning vault, the shrapnel will always hit the monster, AND, the bomb you just planted, so long as it's within range of the weapon. If you like the bombs, bring along some shrapnel.
Even though I don't explicitly state the bomb/shrapnel relationship, I do show it in the video. Though sadly enough, it isn't as damage efficient as just shooting the monster in the face :(.
Great for breaking the backs of most monsters though.
