Starting weapon?

[Sawlamander]

What weapon will you be starting with? I'm going in with HH

[RaFiotE]

Gunlance. Lot of fun in the beta with that weapon.

[BonerPants]

great sword all the way

[Eternal Matrix]

Greatsword, and messing around with Dual Blades, Bow, and Charge Blade to start.

[the spanish inquisition]

hammer and maybe a light bowgun

[lasmas]

[DeadJericho]

[Atomesel]

primary: longsword or charged blade
secondary: Bow

The damage on Hammer is so low and sub-par with the rest of the weapons unless You spam the same 2 moves.

I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie, plus the weapon needs a buff, Hammer dealing 7~9 damage on normal attacks is wrong.

Bow with Dual Blades for secondary, I absolutely adore my bow in worlds.

[Daniel.G]

I will start with heavy discount propably

Just had this discussion with my friend. I'll be simultaneously playing (listed in no particular order):

1. Sword and Shield
2. Insect Glaive
3. Switch Axe
4. Gunlance
5. Hunting Horn
6. Hammer
7. Lance
8. Dual Blades
9. Heavy Bowgun

With how I did this in World, Rise, and GU I'll be using the Spin the Wheel app on my phone to decide which weapon I'll use in the next hunt and keep all weapons I'm working on wishlisted for upgrades. Including armor sets. It's slow progress compared to just using one weapon, but the variety is so much fun.

I would recommend You the Sword and Shield as well as the Longsword as starting weapons.

Very simple weapons to pick up, mastering them isn't as hard as other more complex weapons, and they teach you the basics.

Insect Glaive (Or Dual Blades if I don't enjoy IG in this game), and pairing either with a Bow which I loved in the Beta.
