The most used weapon in MH Wilds

[Wenz Lightning]

The most popularity weapon is still Bow.
Although the bow has been nerfed but it's still the most favorite weapon. Awesome!!
Light Bowgun is the least used weapon.
What do you think? do you agree with that?

That website is the second worst source I can imagine.

Ranged weapons are the most popular weapons I see when playing online. Followed by Longsowrd, Sword and Shield and then probably Gunlance in Wilds.

Seems to me like a weird cliché that especially PC players take up a ranged weapon because it is like playing an FPS. Kinda Shepard-like when Legion had him helped in the digital world.

are you sure its not greatsword?? I literally saw greatsword in 80% of my hunt with random... tried it and it feels really powerful indeed... don't like it in world but now it feels amazing to use

I see more dual blades than bows in my 200+ times I've answered SOS flares.

I'm questioning how accurate your data is. Although 200 is a pretty small sample size as well, so...

Used GS,LS,IG in world and only played ranged for some monsters to not cart.
Also played with Controller.

In wilds I started with M/KB. I wanted to master bow or any other range weapon and once you figured how the controls work for keyboard, because the system is really really bad with all the submenus, it’s a lot easier to play ranged for me.

Longsword, (weirdly) SnS, Charge Blade, Gunlance - in that order, a lot of those. Bows are somewhat common in my experience, but nowhere near #1.

On the flip side, the only HBG I have ever seen is the AI dude from the default helpers. I have yet to see players use it or maybe they are hiding in the bushes a little too well.

Overall, it seems Wilds is more diverse in player classes usage than World, I see a lot more variety. But still, some classes are just more popular than others. And it's not the ranged ones.
