„I don’t care how good they are.” Monster Hunter: Wilds players refuse to use the best weapons in Capcom’s action RPG

by

In Monster Hunter: Wilds, an unusual phenomenon is occurring as a significant number of role-playing game enthusiasts are opting to forego the most potent equipment and instead prefer using slightly less powerful gear.

Looks over damage

In our discussion, we refer to certain unique weapons known as Artians. Unlike other weapons, these don’t require monster fragments for their construction. Instead, one needs to acquire relics from the game’s toughest quests. These weapons offer extensive customization options and impressive base statistics. Furthermore, they possess the ability to inflict elemental damage.

As a dedicated fan, I find myself captivated by this impressive piece of in-game equipment, yet it seems some players feel that its aesthetic doesn’t quite suit their character. A vibrant discussion on Reddit, boasting 14,000 likes and 1,200 comments, underscores the sentiment that these players have towards their weapon projects. While not everyone voices dissatisfaction, it’s clear that Capcom might want to consider incorporating an in-game customization option for weapon appearances. In Monster Hunter World, this feature (Layered Weapons) was introduced exclusively with the Iceborne DLC, which demonstrates a potential solution to this player concern.

Yeah, they certainly make me wish I could change the appearance of my weapon.

I don’t care how good they are, I won’t use them.

Luckily, MH: Wilds provides numerous strategies for combat engagement, and surprisingly, powerful enemies can be defeated with less potent weapons. Consequently, this makes the game more versatile, and some players opt to employ this approach.

Following the rollout of update 1.000.04.00, which resolved the problem hindering quest advancement, Capcom has since issued another patch aimed at addressing various bugs. Incidentally, you can consult the game’s official website for a comprehensive list of all identified issues slated for resolution in future updates.

The action RPG title, “Monster Hunter: Wilds,” can be played on computers, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Notably, it set a record as the quickest-selling game by Capcom, managing to sell more than 8 million copies in just the first three days following its launch.
