wyvern ammo set still amazing. Still getting 500-600 per shot. Its great
Since you asked, yes, watched the whole thing. Very informative and concise. Pretty cool to see you tie all of your experience with bowguns into 1 video.
One question though. How does rathalos mastery affect elemental ammo types?
Thanks for the video!
@@anubrakahn2970 good question, I'm not sure and hope to see more expert replies but I think it works as for any other weapon, the same way crit boost has a very small effect on that ammo. Also Bowguns have the highest crit element modifier after bow, dual blades and SnS, so I'd say it's the most valuable damage boost you can get after free ammo and spareshot.
At 37:00, you have 2 levels of Thunder Atk on the set you're using, so your comparison experiment between Thunder ammo and Freeze ammo is not reliable...
Also elemental ammo don't all pierce the same way. Ice for example, only does 2 ticks of damage.
As for Tranq ammo, its main advantage is that it saves you 1 inventory slot, because you don't have to take tranq bombs.
Time Stamps
Normal Ammo: 0:27
Pierce Ammo: 8:12
Spread Ammo: 16:37
Sticky Ammo: 22:11
Slicing Ammo: 28:22
Cluster Ammo: 32:46
Elemental Ammo: 35:29
Dragon Ammo: 42:06
Ailment Ammo: 43:37
Recovery Ammo: 45:25
Demon & Armor Ammo: 47:39
Wyvern Ammo: 48:08
Traq Ammo: 51:21
Careful though guys, there is information spread throughout the video, like I talk about static affinity for the first time with elemental ammo, but it applies to pierce ammo.
Thank god. I'm not watching a 50 minute video on ammo, when most of it is *really* self explanatory.
You da goat
Bump.
When bringing up elemental ammo, it reminds me that elemental damage caps are the biggest reason we have such a stagnant meta for most weapons.
Also, impact mantle plus dragon ammo will grab you a quick KO for non-spread bowguns.
I watched this entire video. Thank you so much for this! I main greatsword and charge blade, but I've been wanting to try using the heavy bowgun more, I just had a lot of questions about it. You did an excellent job on this video and between this one and your heavy bowgun video, you answered every question I had. Thanks so much!
Oh boyyyy finally!!! Someone made this vid AND with updated info! Thank you!
2 years ago...
After playing with CB, then SS Bow, then LS, I wanted something long range and starting now with HBG. Did not expect that they are so complex! Your video helped a lot, thanks!
I'm new to the bowguns and this explained all I needed especially about sticky and slicing ammo. Thanks man, keep doing what you do man
OK, you're seriously awesome for making these kind of videos!
After playing MHW for few hundreds hours with only IG and LS, I wanted to try the LBG so I looked on RUclips and I found you. And you made the switch possible for me, now I'm hooked on bowguns XD
Your voice is great, your explanations are highly valuable and the music and editing are very good.
Thank you sir for your quality content and work.
Real men bring Teostras cannon and only Wyvern ammo.
And you run out? You Melee yeet that monster.
Only suicidal man act like thar
Martin Hall YYYYYYYWEEEEEET!!
Lol i testify
Teostra flames + wyvern ammo spam = a good time
@@reyviewchannel97 real men make suicidal actions
MAXR then fail all there friends missions
I use both bow guns alot just under charge blade. This is a fantastic explanation of the ammo types
I watched the entire episode. Thank you so much! I have been looking into playing some of the ranged weapons, but I was overwhelmed by the amount of complexity of the ammo types and the weapon damage type. This has helped a lot! Thank you!
Excellent content! I'm switching from DB to the bowguns and this has been super helpful. Loving your videos so far.
Mad love for this guide, sat through the entirety of it to see if I missed some of the mechanics. And honestly I didn't know that certain bowguns reload wyvern ammo faster. Definitely makes me want to take up bowgun again. I'll probably mess around with the Teostra HBG just for its unique model and its ability to fire twice.
I was thinking of starting to use the HBG for the first time and both of your videos were super helpful!
Watched the whole thing and it definitely helped so much. I’ve been putting off getting into the BGs because all that info seemed overwhelming but you explained it in a way that was super easy to understand! Thank you!
I really like your vids. You dont do all that filler crap and you explain things in detail. Thank you
Ha watched it all while doing the pile of dishes lol thanks really cleared up critical boost effect on ammo, need to go modify some builds now lol
This was helpful for me as i started a new save and i am deciding on using one of the bow guns for my playthrough. Watched it all and learned alot of things i didnt know.
Wow that das a long video, thanks for the work bro, i learn a lote, im going to modify a lot of builds, send you hugs from argentina
Thank you!
Great video! Great explanations! I always learn something new from your videos. You could probably make a video on how to equip your weapon and I would still watch it and might even learn something new lol
I did in fact what it all and I'm glad I did. learned several new things like the elemental ammo boost cap and how to spec for pierce ammo
Thanks for letting me know!
I did watch the whole thing. Not only your guides are always top-notch in terms of usefulness but they're very easy to watch.
Thanks for letting me know!
I watched this whole video and the whole video on the heavy bowgun I really appreciate the info and the depth you went into I feel like a pro and I haven’t played 1 minute of the bowgun but I feel confident in trying it now thank you so mucb
Just started using bow guns the other day thanks this helped me!
If someone gets here now that people are returning to world THIS IS IMPORTANT:
Normal ammo has a use now on Heavy Bowgun, healing yourself with the lifesteal augment
You used to be able to heal so much with spread/pierce but they added a 0.2s cooldow to avoid the ridiculous healing of those ammos.
So now, if you want to heal yourelf with that augment, you have to usa normal ammo 3 (and it heals you pretty nicely)
It also gives you a lot of veraatility and it's doesn't fall taht behind on damage outside speedruning
Appreciate the video and all the personal experience info that you mixed in, I'm adding this to my MHW playlist so that I'll have one more reference for learning something new!
Capcom claims that the Charge Blade is a complicated/technical weapon; after watching this I'd say the ranged weapons are muchhh more complicated.
I mean I get the basics:
Spread ammo is the "shotgun" style;
Normal ammo is basic individual rounds no special features or anything only important point is to maximize crit chance/damage & use the normal ammo boost skill to improve DPS
Sticky ammo is like a primative version of the plasma grenade from Halo (stick it on a target & wait for the boom..., even if it doesnt kill it the blast can KO large targets)
The ammo isn't complicated but there are enough small points to remember about what type to use in certain situations that combined with the way various bowguns provide more or less options for ammo choice AND within that range the quality of the firerate and damage can be variable depending on bowgun mods which are setup based on a particular hunt's conditions like quick moving monster or something that's large slow and long *there's wayyy more to ranged fighting than I expected* when it comes to preparation for a hunt.
I started MHW with the charge blade and that's preschool levels of complicated compared to all the stuff bowgun users need to do in terms of customizing radial menus for crafting and making sure the mods on the weapon are changed for the particular hunt and then adjusting slotted decorations to include ones like minds eye in order to change your effective range!
I'm just trying to spice up my grind lol I still need to get a capacity boost decoration and figured that I'd mix up my gameplay since Ive got multiples of all the top rated kulve bowguns AND all the R7 and R8 ranged decorationds.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Very needed in the community.
Watched the entire video, Honestly I think I'll need to go over stuff again to get it all in but it really helped. Hopefully im one step closer to being the heavy weapons guy my fellow hunters need.
Awesome. I just started playing late last year and I'm a bowgun main, your videos have been excellent in helping me play. Keep up the great work. And yes, I watched the whole video.
New heavy bowgun user here. Watched the whole thing and its SUPER informing...Ty
Dude, I just started the game and I loved how well you explain everything!!
Quality content! I’ve recently started using LBG and I used slice ammo yesterday first time and I’ve got to say I’m addicted! I love the animation and unlike the sticky ammo with recoil mods it has more mobility. PS watched it all
I just started to test LBG and this is the perfect video to help me. Thanks a lot !
When you got Mind's Eye\Ballistic + Long Barrel, using Normal-Shot 3 with HBG means you practically own the area. With the monsters constantly moving, it allows you to consistently provide good amount of damage overtime. So yeah, it has it's uses.
The Rapid fire does 100% damage with the first shot, with 50% of damage on the last 2 shots, effectively doing 2x the damage with the ammo. While that seems good on paper, you have to admit that the Burst-Fire does prolong the time between shots.
In my testing: (Methodology = shooting at small-barrel-bomb point-blank, and stopping when it explodes.)
Using Tarroth Blitz "Shot", Normal-2 RF deals 36 + 18 + 18 = 72 Damage, Normal-3 Single-Shot deals 61 damage
- Normal-2 RF +2 Recoil = 2 Shots = 144 Damage
- Normal-2 RF +1 Recoil = 2 1/3 Shots = 180 Damage (note, technically 3, but 3rd shot fails to release final 2 bullets.
- Normal-3 +2 Recoil = 3 Shots = 183 damage.
Using Tarroth Assault "Blast". Normal-2 Deals 33 damage, Normal-3 Deals 56 damage
- Normal-2 +2 Recoil = 3 Shots = 99 damage.
- Normal-2 +1 Recoil = 4 Shots = 132 damage.
- Normal-3 +2 Recoil = 3 Shots = 168 damage.
- Normal-3 +1 Recoil = 4 Shots = 212 damage.
If you looked at the result of my test, though admittedly not fool-proof, the unabridged shot of single-shots versus Rapid-Fire means you get to deliver damage faster, if not efficiently. Even though the Rapid-Fire of Normal-2 would yield better damage, the faster follow-up shots of Normal-3 means it could compete with Rapid-Fire LV2, and even win if both are +1 Recoil.
And then if we looked at the skills Mind's-Eye\Ballistic with the mod Long-Barrel, you could have almost twice your Critical Range, and in Iceborne where every monster moves stupidly fast, that is quite a boon compared to melee-weapons, though the sticky and slicing ain't. And then add in the fact that Normal-3 has waaaay faster projectile-speed than Normal-2, you got an ammo that could participate at a range better.
Granted, other ammo like Sticky and Pellet will definitely out-damage Normal-3 builds, but certainly it can compete with Normal-2 builds if you get it right.
I've been getting into the bowguns just recently. This helped out a lot!
Great guide! Watched all the way through. Learned a few things even.
Thanks for this very detailed vid. I'm just now getting into this game. And this was very helpful.
Watched it all from normal to traq. You sir are doing the Lords work here. Thx for the post.
Watched it all and ty for the info.
Thanks for letting me know!
@@TheGameconomist same, watched it in x2.0 speed though
Thanks for this just started using the guns surprisingly complex and fun
It's honestly depressing that nearly every high end good weapons has to be from Kulve taroth... I don't konw why this guy HAD to be different. I can't hunt him at my house due to my net being weird. I can't join lobbies with people. I can shoot SOS flares and play multiplayer just fine, but not join public lobbies..
It's stupid that all the best gear has to be from that monster.
Same dude 😭
Iceborne will make kt obsolete i hope
not anymore
now it's from a different kulve taroth
Yo dude! Sameeee. Really hate it. Cuz it keeps giving me "error 5038f-MW1" everytime i join online session but works fine on sos. I really wish i could farm it with bunch of people.
I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it! Great job!
Didn't even know you could get 100% affinity holy cow.
Watched it all, and learned a lot! Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Dig the vid,just picked up both heavy and light bowguns,I feel like Rambo after starting out W hammer and insect glaive.Very fun and entertaining game,thanks for the suggestions.I watch your vids and score nicely with Wife when I help her along,she also likes bashing those mofos, smashing monsters ect.thanks man!
Exhaust ammo can be really nice on the Karma LBG because you get rapid fire on lv 1. This makes it hell of a lot easier to actually knock out monsters than you would with sticky ammo (the Karma only has sticky lv 1 and it's horrible at using it) and on top of that it's just really fast to apply that exhaust if you happen to have a valid target.
Well i'll be honest i didn't watch the whole video but i listened it while playing mhw. Great guide right here, content that any beginners to bowguns should watch to help them choose and build toward the ammo type they would want to use.
Watched the whole thing, it's exactly what I needed.
Here is my trick on bowguns. In the ammo sequence list put your main damage ammo on top, followed by aliments, followed by regular one, finally healing/ clusters (scroll up for these).
That way all ammo types can be accessed easily with just one or a few scrolls.
I just started replaying mhw and iceborne. Instead of doing long sword I'm trying out the bowguns so this is helpful
This is high quality content. Economist is the best guy if is coming to explain things
great vids man!! I've really learned a lot of valuable info from your work!!!
Had to watch this in chunks, but I was stoked to see this on the exact same day I decided to try and learn how to use damn bowguns....get out of my HEAD gameconomist!!!!
I wish elements were on the gun instead of being on the bullets it would be such a cool way to mix weapons and ammo like a water spread ammo combination for fighting zorah or a lightning cluster bomb( which I think would just spawn lightning like the charge blades discharge)
Yeah . But then the game wouldn't be in sense anymore it would be to OP. Think of Slicing ammo with Explosion or Cluster with Paralysis.
@@apored5718 I was talking just the base elements the abnormals make sense why they wouldn't want those on certain ammos though if they did I'd probably say limit the element boost to normal, spread, slice, and pierce
XX/GU had level 2 elemental ammo (kind of the equivalent of normal 2, higher damage-per-shot) and pierce elemental ammo (exactly what it sounds like, closer to what elemental is in W by default but with closer hit spacing). In past games normal 3 was also its own thing- Ricochet ammo- But it caused a lot of confusion, which is probably why they changed it in World. People would use it thinking it was just better than normal 2 (it did less damage per-hit, and using it normally it would only hit once, though it could hit up to like six times if you aimed it just right), and because it was so unpredictable and difficult to aim, it was never favoured by high-tier players (for that matter, normal in general wasn't- Any ammo type could be rapidfired, so for both LBG and HBG pierce was basically always favoured between the three basic ammo classes).
In some senses, World fixed/addressed balance issues that had been present in all past games, but in most cases it just created new ones in the process. There's even more of a dominant strategy for each weapon/monster and even less room for alternate strategies/more of a gap between "best" and "second best" in World.
Watched the whole thing. Very helpful. Thanks!
It's funny cuz in mhgu pierce lvl 1 is actually pretty good, partially because it's easy to make but also because pierce works differently in gu than it does in world. Love that it hits so many times in world, but it does way more damage in gu. Good guide for people new to gunning.
I think you should add the list of monster that elemental ammo actually perform well other than Kulve.
What I have in mind are;
1. Bazel (Thunder)
2. Blos (Freeze)
3. Uragaan (Water)
4. Xeno (Water)
5. Vaal (Fire)
Other than that, stick to Normal 2.
Excellent guide, thanks for all the hard work
18:35 i hate it when they whip, because they almost always follow through with a nay nay
Thanks man I'm a GS main who want to try other weapons but I didn't know how to use the light bow gun and the heavy bow gun at all and I thought they were both garbage because they didn't do any damage at all compared to a great sword this really helped me open my eyes to new possibilities.
I have a request is it possible for you to make some sort of tutorial about how to farm these ammo types efficiently and which ones we should put inside of the tree and which ones we shouldn't basically how can we farm for a lot of these ammo types efficiently because it's too expensive to buy them and that's really the biggest problem about these two weapons and to a lesser extent the bow and arrow.
Just play the game, ammo is some of the cheapest thing to buy in the game, if you're lacking the money for it, you probably haven't got very far at all.
Also, it's probably gonna be on sale for half price during the Appreciation Festival the 26th, so look out for that, and gather some riches.
I suggest you mostly stock up on lv. 1 ammo types and lv. 2 and 3 of gunpowder when you do.
If you use the Botanical Research to get ammo materials, don't just use them to craft ammo, it's much more useful to keep the raw materials to craft more ammo *during* a quest.
You just need to put your botanist on it, if you're always keeping it buffed (as you should) you can get all the blastnuts/latchberry/sliceberry/smokenuts or whatever you need for your ammo of choice.
Just buy the lvl 1 ammo and gunpowder 2 and 3 and cultivate the seed/nut/berry you need for whatever ammotype,you wanna use.
TheHeavenlyDao thank you
Rick Lubbers thank you
Thanks for taking the time to make this
thanks for that material. i had 500+ hours in game at that moment & i didnt know Demon ammo actually buffs
Maybe a bit late but I watched the whole thing. Thanks a lot for the explanation on this one and the rest, discovered your channel yesterday and has been so helpful. Awesome work! Fairly new player to the game and needed stuff like this, something "dummy proof" ha, ha. Have watched heavy bowgun guide and about to start cluster bomb guide. I believe for us, new players is better to start with something like light/heavy bowgun to farm all required equipment to eventually changed to close combat weapons. My thought.
Thx for explaining all the ammo type, I watched everything but I wish you could cover wyvernblast, wyvernheart and wyvernsnipe as well xD
I watched the entire thing, loving every second of it. Which is weird considering how I have no real interest in using bowguns, as Sword & Shield is the only weapon that seems visually appealing to me.
Watched it all at x1,5 speed👍, great job!!
Thanks for letting me know!
I’ve watched this whole video a couple of times and I’m still learning. I just got into high rank and it seems like heavy bow guns are better at rarity 5 or 6 and higher.
Long but full of info, appreciated but now gotta train using bowgun 🙈🙈
I've wanted to get into bowguns for quite some time bow but I guess I didnt know exactly what to do. I have watched the whole video and decided to give it a try now
Thanks for letting me know!
this video was very helpful! watched the whole thing!
Another good pierce ammo hbg i think you should have included was legiana shattercyst its really good because it needs no recoil or reload mods and it has all 3 pierce ammos
Very good video for aspiring bowgun mains good job
Watched all of it. Very informative. Keep it up.
Well of course I watched the whole thing! with that voice you could be explaining “insert super uninteresting topic here” and I would be interested in it!
Watched the whole video. Thanks for the info!
On your sticky ammo info artillery does boost it but attack mods and challenger peek performance will increase its dmg output as well my devourer tends to hit in the 90+ even over 100 on certain monsters nice vid watched the whole thing your hb g kulv counter vid got me addicted to hbg lol
Was expecting some motion value explanations, but good video still. Little note about N3 and element/status... If they kept the mechanics from older games, N3 has VERY slightly weaker power compared to N2 (like 1MV less), but ricochets (although it doesn't mean the ricochet will land, it's just a random +1 hit). As for element/status, affinity doesn't affect them unless you have the Elemental Crit or Status Crit skills. Also, elemental shots actually ignore your attack and instead do FIXED elemental damage (I think 70 if it's same from past games, which is then multiplied by part defense, so a 30 weakness to thunder would mean 21 damage on single shot thunder ammo).
Really well made video thanks for making this
Watched the whole thing good job I learned a lot
This is what I needed. Finally!
watched the whole thing. and i enjoyed it
Watched it all and it was very helpful
I generally salute every player that play this game in PS4 using bowgun/bow
Edit: I literally laughed on Nergigante sleeping pose
Thank you very much, you saved me a shit ton of searching time :D
If you shoot exhaust at Teostra, he’ll actually part from Lunastra. It has become my favorite ammo type
A 50% displayed affinity build with weakness exploit works excellent for Kulve, actually. I farm KT with a set that gives me said 50% displayed crit alongside water and thunder attack 3 and critical element, focus and special shot up, using the Styx LBG.
The reason for this is simple - WE works on molten Kulve parts. So at the start, you focus on the chest and arms(and perhaps the gold
plating), which all proc WE(water attack is more consistent on the arms if youre shooting from the front). Once she rages, her entire body becomes a weakpoint and procs WE e v e r y w h e r e.
Also, other Styx LBG users, PLEASE drop attack skills. Youre better off with partbreaker, more crit or water attack 3, or even bombardier. This is actually info not in the video - elemental ammo is actually part pierce and part full elemental. Any and all attack boosts beyond the raw of the weapon only ever affects that tiny, tiny pierce part of the damage, and has absolutely no effect on the elemental part.
Watched the whole thing. AWESOME!!!
Thanks for letting me know!
So many people sleep on normal ammo 3. Each level of normal ammo has INCREASED VELOCITY. Normal ammo 3 on HBGs is an excellent option for pinpoint firing.
How do you throw pods while having your bowgun drawn?
Since you asked: I listened to the the whole thing. Just recently I discovered my interest for the HBG - and I am still a noob and need to learn so much. This helped me a ton already. Thanks :) A question: For the wake up with the wyvern fire I need to be as close as possible? I just recently read that because of the double tap I should'nt be to close because the weaker hit hits first. Is this fake news?
thanks i watch it all! amazing :)
learned some interessing meta stuff, thanks!
I love you dude thank you for all the tips
Your channel is not ONLY the most informational but you keep is interesting and you dont bore us with the specifics i love your channel keep up the daily content love it!!!!!
Good video, must have been a lot of work! Watched it all 👍
Watched the whole thing, finally I know what exhaust does now :o I thought it would exhaust them like when they are low on health and need to take breaks from attacking
Exhaust ammo does apply exhaust as well, but it does both KO and exhaust. The exhaust is not that helpful against end game monsters except for behemoth. The KO is much more useful
@@TheGameconomist Ah I see, thank you!
your videos are so well put together that i switched off adblock. you earned it!
Thanks for all that info. I'm curious how the lgt bowgun can get 171 damage a hit
Dragon ammo actually works really well against rathian and rathalos since they are really long and they are weak to it.
I did watch the whole thing. Nice info
