Clarification on what I mean by Critical Distance: HBG struggles with repositioning with how slow it is. You don't have the repositioning speed of LBG or Bow. You can't be picky. SO FIRE AND LAND YOUR SHOTS. Obviously if your too far your shots arent going to land. If you can't adapt to how slow HBG is, its not worth it. Also mhn.quest just updated the reload speeds. I thought the reload was its version of "fast" because of how slow the HBG is.
Hold up… You say HBG doesn’t have a critical range but here at 11:20 your damage is in the hundreds with the reticle big and orange. But then a bit later when Pukei gets toppled, your reticle gets smaller and now you max damage is in the 60s using the same type of ammo, that being pierce ammo 1. Are you sure there’s no critical distance?
I did not expect for shield mods to be in every Heavy Bowgun but I ain't complaining. It just means that the monsters are going to die faster. Having a blast with several of the HBGs I've made already.
Lets goo!!! This is the video Ive been waiting for since launch last night 😂❤ youre the hardest working mhn channel thank you for your constant content and guides!
Dont stop dishing out those vids you have helped me build up as well as few of my frens we are all newbies lol. And your vids are gem to us@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS
Been waiting for your uploads! I wanna know your insight first before I invest in a HBG and more about Magnamalo Weapons especially the first status DB. Cant wait, great content as always!
I just experimented, artillery increases hbw wyvern's ammo as well 😆 And correction, hbw has critical range. Wyvern's ammo hita 2 times in close range, 1 hit in mid range, and misses hit on long range. Mh now official weapon guide states every type of hbw ammo critical range. However it's a great guide anw, thanks for making this vid 🥰
It does, but its not meta lol. What I mean by critical range is. You need to land to land your shots for it to count. Bow and LBG have the freedom to reposition faster. HBG doesn't have that just whether or not your going to hit the monster or not. If your talking about the cross hairs thats a weak part you'll Crit if you hit it. Two different things.
Loving my big slow tank gun! I don't even know which one I want to invest in yet. Black Diablos seems like a clear winner but.....also it's kinda boring with just pierce. I NEED BIG BOOMS! lol Hopefully some of the others are viable options.
@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS oh I guess the last time I played hbg in main series had been in freedom 1 but wanted to main it in wilds, now I am afraid because I am terrible with slow weapon. Anyways the ammo choice for the deviljoe hbg is amazing to me in now
Main series HBG is amazing! It's definitely going to be worth in Wilds. The NOW version is just...ugly. You also can't switch between any ammo you want that you have in your inventory like main series.
Is the black diablos hbg anywhere near as good as the bow? As a newer player I wanted to run the bow as my raw option but hbg seems cool so I wonder if it’s any good
I keep getting hit while reloading, as you say, even with Reload 3 it still takes a long time. Just trying to control the number of rounds shot in one go is tough to learn.
Don’t know what to think about HBG yet. I’ve gone from initially hating it, to somehow beating a 6* Anjananth with a grade 5.2 legiana HBG (which was surprising since there was no element advantage there🤔) I think the power is clearly there, just need more practice!😅
I wanted a HBG more like the video games, but I think they were afraid that there would be a strong enough ranged weapon that would make the player not need to use potions.
Potions aren't the issue. If they wanted to make potions more then just kill dodging altogether and make super weapons like the Black Diablos bow not exist.
I’ve been running burst with hbg and gunlance. I don’t see a damage increase when it procs on the shots but with the gunlance the damage increases when using the lance. So I’m not too sure burst is good for the hbg
I was thinking my Peak condition build would work but that guard has health going, so predictably I'll need to swap out the deviljho arms and anjanath legs for other options. As a HBG Main in previous games it shouldn't be hard to get a hold on how the gun works
Dont use Peak performance unless its a bonus skill from your build. Just go for burst/elemental attack. Peak Performance is terrible because its a solid attack buff. Percentages do more at higher values assuming your gonna max it out lol.
Wyvern Ammo cannot be modified in the main series. It is kind of like GL wyvern's fire in an ammo... However it is buffed here, you can fire 2 consecutive shots with less than half the casting time of thr original WA.
That doesn't really matter though lol. In main series, We can use as many ammo types as you have in your inventory. Wyvern range is also atrocious because the map is bigger in the main series and you can move much more.
The problem is there's no real point of doing that. The recoil and time it takes to get shots off is super slow. You'll lose DPS no matter how much you pump up Artillery.
Appreciate it! I wouldn't say everyone though. I have my hater club that vigorously types at how they wish they had as much success as I had on Reddit lol.
They are definitely going to nerf HBG. Today I killed a 7 star magnamallo with a 5/5 coral pinkie HBG and a 7 star rajang with a 5/1 legiana HBG. HBG is the GOAT
Heavy bowgun is meh. I hate seeing heavy bowgun users in 7*+ HATs and DLs. If you need your heavy bowgun quests done go do it in the 4*-6* HATs unless you are properly equipped with a high grade bowgun. If not, then you're slowing everyone down.
Okay, so why is it that I'm just learning about the guarding ability? I've been grinding with this thing for so long, and I never even realized that I could just do that. But I probably won't use it anyways, because I have peak performance with my deviljho vambraces. And, also, I rarely get hit

There is critical distance. There will be an X mark at the aim circle when you are in it. Pierce for far, spread for close etc.
This game really, REALLY need a training area so we can practice with these weapons. Good video, thanks.
1000%^

@@Jyharri are you using the shield then or are you just dodging everything?

Appreciate you!
300+ videos and counting and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon just because Wilds is coming
Dont stop dishing out those vids you have helped me build up as well as few of my frens we are all newbies lol. And your vids are gem to us@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS
Awesome bg music ‘Man with the Heavy bow gun’. Thank you for the video brilliant stuff
The new skill from Magnamalo armor set looks interesting too :D
Been waiting for your uploads! I wanna know your insight first before I invest in a HBG and more about Magnamalo Weapons especially the first status DB. Cant wait, great content as always!
If i already have 10.5 black Diablos bow should i invest in making the HBG as well? Or focus another elemental?
The Bow is still stronger than the HBG by a long shot. Don't bother with HBG at all if you have a max blos bow.
Finally, ive been waiting for these video. Thank you KINGOFCHARMANDERS, love your guide vids mate!
As usual, thanks KoC. Appreciate you ;) have you discovered which elemental type is best for HBG?
thanks for the update. i really need this HBG tuturial.
Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful.
Are you going to update you elemental video to add the Heavy bg? Or new one just for him ?
It'll be added! Just waiting for mhn.quest to update for it. I don't want to put it out there without any supporting data.
I just experimented, artillery increases hbw wyvern's ammo as well 😆

If you want big boom, may I recommend Teostra HBG? It's a carnival cannon!
^This. Although Blos is one of the best for sure.
Hi! I know that for LBG is better (for most ppl) elemental type, but is the same for HBG? Or is better raw damage?
HBG struggles to beat the LBG. Ill do a video on it soon. But outside of monsters that just sit there like ducks, the HBG isn't great.
HBG been hard for me to pick up so far. Sad since I main HBG in World Rise. Hoping this video helps close some skill and build gaps.
Thanks for the guide mate ❤, totally a fun weapon though roll could be slightly faster for me
Sadly the HBG is just that slow even in Main series. If we could strafe fire even just a little bit id love it.

For Bblos HBG with reload 3, it doesn't go to "Fast". It's only at "Normal"
Is the black diablos hbg anywhere near as good as the bow? As a newer player I wanted to run the bow as my raw option but hbg seems cool so I wonder if it’s any good
ITS DEFINITELY NOT AS GOOD AS THE BOW. Bow first over everything.

very informative. gotta comment for the algorithm
Appreciate you!

I think the power is clearly there, just need more practice!😅
It has the power. Its the DPS rate thats pretty grueling sadly.
Is artillery worth it on HBG?
Not at all unless its a bonus skill.
Hi do you think is worth a mix of magna+mizutsune armor instead of burst for some weapons?
It totally could be, but I need to crunch the numbers. Might not be worth it unless its fully Driftsmelted.
@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS hope u show us in a video then. thx :)

I am heavy weapons guy, and this is my weapon.
I tried offensive guard and defense load with HBG black diablos. 😅😅😅 the proc is odd.
Thanks for the vidéo
Has anyone else been disappointed by the damage? Like I’d rather use the rathbuster 💔
Why not mix up offensive guard with guard on HBG
is the magnamalo hbg good? he is my strongest monster now and im thinking if its a good 2nd hbg to grade 5 bone hbg
i just also started playing 3 days ago so my monsters are still limited. i just unlocked pink rathian and anjanath
HBG has a ton of power, but it isn't as good as LBG or Bow for how slow it is.
Burst build good with legiana lbg
thanx
I wonder if I use Defend Reload + Guard + Artillery for Basarios HBG spamming only Wywerm Fire Attack?
The problem is there's no real point of doing that. The recoil and time it takes to get shots off is super slow. You'll lose DPS no matter how much you pump up Artillery.
Can you make video like the best HBG in every element ? I'm in dilema 😂😂😂
Thats coming when I can finally sort the data lol
cluster ammo can K.O?
Thats a good question! I don't know because I haven't tested it that much. But I'll definitely look into it!
everybody here waiting for such great work that you do !! what a great content.
Appreciate it! I wouldn't say everyone though. I have my hater club that vigorously types at how they wish they had as much success as I had on Reddit lol.
But is it OP and if not where does it fall on the scale?
Not by a long shot sadly. Its definitely the weakest range weapon in the game so far. RIP.
Zinogore HBG is Godlike
They are definitely going to nerf HBG. Today I killed a 7 star magnamallo with a 5/5 coral pinkie HBG and a 7 star rajang with a 5/1 legiana HBG. HBG is the GOAT
Thats totally possible though. Also the newer monsters aren't that strong on the HP scale. I can melt both of them with my Blos bow lol.
i think i’ll skip that weapon, doesn’t sound too fun to play
Its definitely not fun friendly. They took away some main series mechanics that made it a lot of fun.
@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS thx for the reply maybe i should try HBG in world 🤔
