Hammer Hunter couldn't sever Monster Tail but could these hunters get tail materials?

Or they have to switch to slash weapon and enable to sever the tail monster? and then get the tail materials.

carving the tail has it's own loot table with different percentages.
capturing/hunting a monster has every potential loot included in it, with different percentages compared to severing/breaking their body parts.

Bring a teammate with a cutting weapon.
You can also capture the monster for a small chance at tail cut mats in the newer games (ex: 17% for espinas lash on capture, 70% from tail carve). Or you can use boomerangs if you're really desperate and dead set on not going into multiplayer.
Palicos can also tail cut if they have a cutting weapon but they don't go for it so it mostly happens by chance.

Even if you use multiplayer, good luck on convincing all those dumb longsword players they're altering the game around to actually do their job and cut the damn tail instead of hoarding around the head because "muh yellow number" and "muh deeps bro".

just capture it and hope you get lucky

Ok, thanks guys. Btw can the piercing weapons such as lance and gunlance sever the monster tail?

i think trust attack can severe tail but im not sure

Tail drop is random in most cases, but tails drop certain things, usually the tail itself. But it's not uncommon to end up with 2 or 3 tail parts in 1 fight. So, it's not necessary, it's just less efficient. But that's why I prefer to not use blunt damage personally. I like to sever the tail.

Yes. Gunlance is trickier to do with though. Lance was my go-to weapon for tail cutting in world and Rise due to the reach it has.

The only weapons that can't tail cut are hammer, hunting horn, light Bowgun, and heavy Bowgun. The latter two need slicing ammo to do such, as a response to pierce ammo being too good at tail cutting in old gen.

I'm excited to try on hammer because make the monster stunned and crushing the monster head are so satisfying. In MH World, i've played as SA and IG hunter so in MH Wilds i want a different playstyle and fresh from the oven.

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with taking a SA as a 2nd weapon to snatch that tail either then switching back to hammer. But you don't NEED to sever it to get the tail anyway.

Give your cat the opposing type of damage or just always give cat sever type weapons. They can cut it, altough not often, however it's more likely then never xD
