Worth mentioning that the color of the glow effect changes with that status/element of the weapon, so don't be turned off if you don't like the color, just pick a different element!
Dude these weapons are insane, they look so tame when you first get them and when they are awakened them they look like you ripped them straight out of hell
@@obamabeanlatin I still would because we still had more good weapons then bad. Besides when a weapon looked bad I just swapped to greatsword or bow since most of their weapons looked good.
The hammer looks amazing, especially how the eye glows when your at full charge. It goes from soul edge to the eye of sauron. Edit: Speaking of Soul Caliber. Damascus layered armor plus Safi Greatsword could make a decent Nightmare cosplay.
The designs on these weapons are just INSANE! I especially like the long sword. It’s looks like something you’d have to fight some sort of ethereal space creature to get! Badass!!
isn't there like 4 guys on the actual weapon design team for world/Iceborne ? They are probably not responsible for actually modeling the weapons but resources were definitely put elsewhere , namely the environment I would guess ,monsters , armor and finally weapons , In that order . MH6 will probably have better weapon designs as they'll probably put more people for weapon design and modeling
One of the coolest things about the Hammer it’s that at the time u do a lvl 3 charge, the eye will glow in a hot orange and the pupil will be more narrow ish
@@Mona-wr9xl The thought popped up on my mind when I saw that most of these have the same fleshy look you see on Nightmare's armor and some variations of the Soul Edge.
it might just be personal bias, but I'm really in love with the Long Sword. So far I've gotten 7 separate variants of it too, one for each element except Fire and one for Poison, Sleep and Blast status
I've got all longsword awakened, and man (or girl), the dragon, thunder, water and poison ones are my favourites, especially thunder, that neon turquoise glow gives it a really eerie appearance which I absolutely love
@@iGamerNewb I'd be happy to help out when I can. I don't really have a consistent friendbase to help me run this, so I've just been going with randoms all this time
Honestly anyone else feel that safi gear feels like throw backs to Fatalis armor lore? Lore use to say wearing the armor would eventually consume the hunter and devour him allowing Fatalis to be reborn into the world, I feel "awakening" the weapons does something similar even in defeat safi still has a connection to the world and its gaze sees all.
Hey Arekkz, the soundtrack to this video was awesome. Please link in the description. Also, thanks for providing the best MHW content on RUclips. Kudos to you and the team.
I'm in love with the Safi greatsword, I got it to 71% Affinity as it's base and just shy of 1600 raw thanks to awakenings so it's looking good. And I'm busy upgrading the beautifully disturbingly cool hammer so I can bash in monsters heads with freaking sauron's eye. Can't thank Capcom enough for allowing me to use a sentence like that
LBG still giving me some serious Phantasy Star weapon vibe on it which is really awesome, especially when it's awakened. Should get my Aquashot finished up for that sweet Awakened look.
So for anyone curious about the songs in order from which they play is Ask About Me by A P O L L O, In My Trunk (98) by Ballpoint, Utopia by A P O L L O
I'm so glad they went full fantasy with this one, honestly Safi itself looks like the classical Fantasy dragon (first time I fought him, going in blind, I was like "OH SHIT THAT'S SMAUG"). I get the "realism" thing at lower ranks, especially with low tier monsters such as Great Jagras, but this is how an endgame weapon should look like (yes, I'm referring to classic Xeno weapons in base World, those were such a disappointment since the armor was so beautiful)
Considering the shitty treatment Hammer Bros got in base game with how ugly most of them are, I'm just fine seeing them return to glory here. Between this and the Brachy hammer, I'm very happy.
I'm a huge fan of Sofi'Jahovey. These weapons and armor not only look really cool, but they're so fun to upgrade/tweak. I haven't made any armor yet but I really love the look. What Capcom has done with Iceborne is so impressive. I can't understate how they perfectly balanced the big jump in monster strength/ability and the big jump in our toolkits. Things like Mantle+ and limit breaks on certain skills, the abundance of quality weapons, the new decorations....I have had so much fun with this second part of MHW. I can't even imagine what else is coming and I (almost) don't care because I've got a looooot of stuff to grind and it's all been fun. *Capcom, runnin' shit since '79.*
Honestly I mained the hammer for the longest time but the evolved form of the insect glaive and the sick ass weapon pose for it made me want to start maining the IG and I’m actually enjoying it more than the hammer atm
Put an Odogaron layered helmet and you can cosplay Dante's Devil Trigger (The SDT one). I wish that there is an option in the game where when you unsheath your weapon, your layered armor will disappear and your armor will be shown. That would be badass asf. Imagine that your layered armor is Dante and then you unsheath your weapon and activate your Devil Trigger.
I'm tryin my best not to spoil me the game before the pc release, but i can't resist a Weapon Showcase video, thanks a lot ! I have just a question : is there a new idle animation when you have your weapon in hands (Stances the character had when you presented weapons, while turning around him, were incredible, the charge blade's one was... hmm !)
I'm pretty sure that we won't see any new monsters besides Fatalis Its possible that he may have some insane set bonus or something but I won't hold my breath on it. Unless we get Arc Tempered Safi this is probably as strong as were gonna get
@@HeavyMetalLink05 I'm still theorizing that Safi might have an Elder form that transforms him into Fatalis. I hope they still add one more new original monster in. Didn't Capcom say they still have another year's worth of content?
@@robardian3697 Yes they said we'd get another year of content but base World worked the same way In a years time we got Deviljho Lunastra And Kulv Taroth As new monsters, everything else was event stuff and Arc Tempered Elders So far for Iceborne we got Rajang Styg Zinogre Safi'Jiiva And I'm sure were gonna get Fatalis but that hasn't been confirmed, only hinted I hope im wrong, Id love to have new monsters but I really don't think were getting more besides maybe Fatalis
@@HeavyMetalLink05 That would make me kinda sad if that were to be the case. Even so Iceborne itself is still one of the best expansions I've ever played for any game besides The Witcher 3.
Man when I seen my LS awaken for the first time I was so hype, it looks AMAZING!!!! I thought Goldian LS was op but this thing? Omg Safi weapons are the craziest powercreep I think Monster Hunter as seen
It isn't too drastic, but the powercreep is definitely there. It's between 1-5% more damage compared to before with how much damage we could already pump out prior to Safi :p
Geoffrey Estévez My shatterblade already has more attack/affinity/sharpness than the gold rath LS and I don’t have any 6 Star awakened skills yet. It’s way more than 1-5%.
Hammer Hunting Horn and Charge Blade are my favorites because the eye reminds of the G Virus and a bit of Soul Edge. :D Not a huge fan of the set but I use it every now and then. Plays like a Bloodtinge build in Bloodborne, high risk with high rewards. Still like watching people forget about the Set's Effects and forget the heal XD Maybe they will fix it in the Arc Tempered Version because they are mostly likely going to make an Arch Tempered Safi Jiva
man these look awesome, kinda giving me Gore-vibe. Tho I kinda wish the "unleashed" form would be how they look when they're drawn and they keep their "bound" appearance when sheathed to complete the anime edgeknight look
Been running the Hunting Horn, so bad ass. Everyone is like "Why do I have so much stamina, why's my attack so high...people use Hunting horns?" I like to call it the Support Hammer lol the new spin move is sick
I have a super healer build I use with my horn Tigex setbonus for free meal level 3 Max friendly jewel (wide range) Max gobbler jewel (speed eating) I'm popping potions and adamant seeds and might seets and all of that so fast that my team never dies and they have tons of damage and the free meal gives me like 20 to 30 potions instead of 10
Worth mentioning that the color of the glow effect changes with that status/element of the weapon, so don't be turned off if you don't like the color, just pick a different element!
So no glow on Hammer? Cause its lights out for the monster after a few bashes to the face.
Epic! :D
What about layered weapons?
What is fire and dragons color
Red - Fire
Orange - Blast
Deep Blue - Water
White - Ice
Pale Blue - Sleep
Yellow - Thunder + Paralysis
Purple - Dragon + Poison
Safi hammer must hate fighting Nergigante. All those spikes
"Ouch, my eyes!"
Safi hammer: "I have my eye on you."
The hammer looks like shagarus
Dude these weapons are insane, they look so tame when you first get them and when they are awakened them they look like you ripped them straight out of hell
Terminal Asthma As a switchaxe main, I feel blessed to have such a badass looking weapon 😎👌🏻
Makes sense since Capcom based safi with hades and him being the one who guards it considering all the green fire on the lowest level of his fight.
Same shit I be saying to my friends!
Fully awakened GS, with a correct build, is even better than Acidic GS itself. Crazy
Sad HBG hours
We all know fashion is the true end game lol
Tempered Kirrin, Angry boy Rajang and Deviljoh Arena.
Fashion souls is always the end game
is it possible to awaken the safi layered armor?
Indeed hunter
I dig how they unwrap when they are awakened and the shroud sticks around, gives me an Ushio and Tora vibe.
Good to see that gem of a show mentioned in this year
They really outdid themselves with the weapon designs here.
Brotherhood Paladin you wouldn’t have said that in september, what with the AcidGlav GreatSword
@@obamabeanlatin That's in the past now.
@@obamabeanlatin I still would because we still had more good weapons then bad. Besides when a weapon looked bad I just swapped to greatsword or bow since most of their weapons looked good.

The little dragon wings on the awakened heavy bow gun are a really nice detail that really just improves the weapon
Wow, that sns shield really reminds me of the Owl from Tokyo Ghoul
Damn it kinda does
His mask or face?
Rzhe Cheah the face
The designs on these weapons are just INSANE! I especially like the long sword. It’s looks like something you’d have to fight some sort of ethereal space creature to get! Badass!!
the weapon and the armor
this is the design that i always wanted
FK realism
more fantasy, Sci-fi looking design.
Yeah we dont play VG for fucking Realism >< give us back STYGIAN ZINOGREAT GREAT SWORD T_T thats the only weapon they fucked up from stygian
I don't mind a bit of realism, but ur right, I don't play MH for realism.
@@raulrojas9253 they fucked the SA too
Like dmc 5 demon forms

This makes me want a collab with Soul Calibur
An arena battle against Nightmare that you can only do Solo
Imagine the Soul Edge as a Greatsword?
I had this idea back when the first horizon event was announced.
@@Mona-wr9xl The thought popped up on my mind when I saw that most of these have the same fleshy look you see on Nightmare's armor and some variations of the Soul Edge.
Can we also put out valcana weapons look a bit like Soul Calibur
PC squad we need to stay strong
Trying not to die here
we can do this :)
@@erik-janmeijer2128 I'll just be modding in sexy armors and probably weapon mods too.
still waiting
just a month left haha
The Armor looks like Dante’s Devil trigger
Coincidence? I think not
It is capcom after all 👀
which one? Normal or Sin Devil trigger?
I know right! That’s what my mind immediately went to the moment I saw the armor and the awakened weapons.
From DMC4, yeah.
it might just be personal bias, but I'm really in love with the Long Sword. So far I've gotten 7 separate variants of it too, one for each element except Fire and one for Poison, Sleep and Blast status
I guess you *STUDIED THE BLADE*
I'm desperately trying to get the paralysis longsword !!

@@DarkSeeker9713 im loving the blast LS, the orange glow tho after it is awaken is just- 😍
That music holy hell made video such a joy to watch and admire each weapon changes

My favourite is definitely the hammer, although the great sword definitely comes close
The gs is like going from shikai to bankai in bleach and I love that about it.

I'm happy about the Switch Axe I wished they given the same Axe form they gave CB though I can understand sword mode being different .
That bow! It looks like you’re shooting ethereal arrow!!!
I find it a little bit strange that the light bowgun looks...larger, more imposing, and actually heavier than the heavy bowgun >.>
The insect glaive looks like the spear from Ushio to Tora with the bandages floating around it.
LBG still giving me some serious Phantasy Star weapon vibe on it which is really awesome, especially when it's awakened. Should get my Aquashot finished up for that sweet Awakened look.
I LOVE the Soul Calibur/Soul Edge vibe these weapons have. I am in love with these designs
So for anyone curious about the songs in order from which they play is Ask About Me by A P O L L O, In My Trunk (98) by Ballpoint, Utopia by A P O L L O
- Soul Edge-like weapons.
- A Malfested-like zombification system that buffs you like a berserker.
Capcom, more body sliders are the next step.
Vidabel Crowe underrated comment
Gore magala did it first
The second song to play is Ballpoint - In my trunk (98)
Just the video I was looking for
Took a week of intense grinding to catch up but I finally managed to get to the siege
I was just looking for something like this yesterday, thanks!
Shame that they all don't change as much as the Hammer or Hunting Horn, but they're all still really cool-looking.
I'm so glad they went full fantasy with this one, honestly Safi itself looks like the classical Fantasy dragon (first time I fought him, going in blind, I was like "OH SHIT THAT'S SMAUG"). I get the "realism" thing at lower ranks, especially with low tier monsters such as Great Jagras, but this is how an endgame weapon should look like (yes, I'm referring to classic Xeno weapons in base World, those were such a disappointment since the armor was so beautiful)
I hope in future updates we'll get more armor and weapons that can change appearances.
I think we can all agree that all the weapons here simply look hella nice
Haven't tried the full seige yet, but now I know why I've been maining hammer & switchaxe for the last 8 years!
*Hey, what’s goin on guys*
Arekkz here
And welcome back to Monster Hunter video
today
I’m going to be discussing how lit this comment chain just got
EskaMeaux and how it keeps continuing.
probably the coolest new content we have receive in a very long time.
What music did you use for the weapon showcase? Sounds really nice
In my trunk-ballpoint
Johnsoo thank you so much!!!
Well, one of the dev's fav is hammer thus the special treatment
Well im in the *HAMMER SQUAT*
Considering the shitty treatment Hammer Bros got in base game with how ugly most of them are, I'm just fine seeing them return to glory here. Between this and the Brachy hammer, I'm very happy.
@@sirwilfrey1342 Hammer gang rise up, but yeah u right the base weapons in world were shit, except lunastras, its still a reskin but its color is nice
That Switchaxe is insane, we need some more Switchaxe builds for Mixset Monday’s
man it really goes from "this is a dragon" to "remember this is an alien"
I’ve been waiting for this thank you 🙏
Me: I probably won’t play Long Sword that much in iceborne.
Safi’jiiva: ...
Me: ... Fuck.
I’m a Long Sword main now 😂
Nice, exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot for this video ! It entices me to go through all MHW to get to this fight and farm for those awakened weapons!!!
Switch Axe mains, where you at?
Cry in PC
👋
Here
Right chere, Brah.
I feel like insect glaive is cool, but it could be cooler, especially with the awakening. I mean all it really gets are a few dots of light at the top
still better than what sns got. You got dots ad ghost wrappings. I just painted my weapon with some neon paint and not even in cool way.
They all look amazing, but i think long sword is my favorite out of all of them
Fun fact for safi hammer, when you power up the eye sharpens like a felynes eye 👁
Song: In my Trunk - Ballpoint I'm not sure if it said at some point in the vid but that's what it is.
Yo thx man I was scrolling for so long for this
Yo this music is clean as fuck!! Also nice video awakened weapons look pretty damn cool.
Where can I get this music?

2 in 1 Weapon.

That purple glow with the awakened dual blades damn too much Shin Godzilla vibes

God I need that LS so bad. Can’t wait for PC.
As a switch axes main I can feel your pain
I've never been more proud to be a hammer bro than that awakened Safi hammer it's so sick
The light bowgun reminds me of the scepter from the Last Starfighter
I'm in love with that CB 🎶
Great showcase! But man @Arekkz , what was that song!
No doubt the hammer wins this contest, that huge eye is epic. This is coming from someone who never uses hammer.
it look like sauron XD
Thx for showing these weapons and the armor because I don’t have ice born and I know tomorrow the event will rad so thx ☺️
The beats are the real masterpiece here
Weaps and armors were one of the big reasons I stuck with MH since freedomunite
My favorite so far is the Great Sword. I'm just curious how they will make any future monsters gear relevant now
This savi gear is just way too good
I'm pretty sure that we won't see any new monsters besides Fatalis

Rajang

This is the most fun monster I've encountered in MHW! Love it.
Christopher Sebastiao I think at 23, not sure since I’m not there yet
Christopher Sebastiao wrong comment
As an IG main I can say I’m not disappointed!
Dude I really like the safi'jiiva weapons and armor 😍😍
they out done themselves with these weapon designs.weird how they still cant fix the damn glavanus great sword.
Heavy bowgun strongly reminds me of a Bahamut Gun in Granblue Fantasy
These weapons are so cool, all of them

Alex, any plans to cover what the max Awakenings for each category end up being? (Ele 6+ 5 Ele 5 etc)
I heard zaraki kenpachi use to wield that switch axe
Hey arekkz what tune did you use for the video cuz I must have this tune
What armor is that? Also can it be layered?
man these look awesome, kinda giving me Gore-vibe. Tho I kinda wish the "unleashed" form would be how they look when they're drawn and they keep their "bound" appearance when sheathed to complete the anime edgeknight look
I’m curious on how the greatsword changes as u charge it
I didnt even fuckin notice my insect glaive glowing after awakening it lmao
Well i was planning on taking my sweet time with the base game, but now that ive seen this i dont know if thats possible :)
IDKHQ 4 ikr
That hammer was sleeping until it was AWOKEN......I'll SEE myself out...
Been running the Hunting Horn, so bad ass. Everyone is like "Why do I have so much stamina, why's my attack so high...people use Hunting horns?" I like to call it the Support Hammer lol the new spin move is sick
I have a super healer build I use with my horn
Tigex setbonus for free meal level 3
Max friendly jewel (wide range)
Max gobbler jewel (speed eating)
I'm popping potions and adamant seeds and might seets and all of that so fast that my team never dies and they have tons of damage and the free meal gives me like 20 to 30 potions instead of 10
As a DB user i fucking love that stamina bubble thing
Its pretty simple, but I love jow the IG looks.
Does anyone think of the bokoto weapons from bleach when seeing this
Hello I have a question, where did you get those beats from?? I like it tbh
Not only the armor and weapons look awesome, but the poses though
How do you get them? Is it buying it?
Heavy Bowgun looks basically the same... (No the wings are not part of the awakened weapon, the wings is defense modded in)...
Song at 5:44
The gun lance looks Insane
