What are the odds of us getting a new weapon class in Iceborne? What would you want?

[Soul]

Have they ever added a class post-launch in previous games?

[Seamus]

They've never really had the ability to do so in the past. Too many hardware limitations.

The only known example that i remember are that they "added" the missing weapons with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, compared to the vanilla version + changed quests for the lowrank from the storymode and multiplayer harbor changed etc

For what ever reason in MHtri the Dual Blade, Gunlance, Hunting Horn and Bow where missing but thats all.

They implemented the missing weapons with the new Version that for what ever reason didnt appeared in MHtri like the Dual Blade, Gunlance, Hunting Horn and Bow but thats all.

Those were brought back in MH Portable 3rd, not Ultimate.

Iirc MHP3rd wasnt released in the west, compared to MH3u.
But yes you are right that they were added back first in MHP3rd

Giant flail\morning star would be cool

I don't know about the release timeline of MH games but afaik they released a new weapon class, tonfas. But I have to say that there's a slim to none chance we'll get one.

Well since you don't really use axe mode unless needed for swaxe and CB. A full fledged Axe weap would be nice imo.

That's Frontier. Frontier is an entirely different beast and has nothing to do with the main series games.

The Second Gen gave us the Longsword, Hunting Horn, Gunlance and Bow
The Third Gen the Morph-Axe/Switch Axe (also the Medium Bowgun trough Bowgun modification in MHtri)
The Charge Blade, the Insect Glaive and the Prowler Mode (only in MHX and MHXX) in the fourth gen.

The Tonfa and Magnet Spike arent in the main series, they are from the MH Frontier Series.

It would be interessting to get a new weapon but i dont care if not.

[Joeynator3000]

It's possible, but it probably won't happen. I was hoping for at least one new weapon in World, maybe the weapons will get some new moves. Would like to see some more new moves based on the Arts in the Generations games. (I want my Gunlance's AA Flare back, lol)

Also, the Tonfas are a Frontier thing, very rarely do Frontier content make it into the main games. (only ones I know of being Hypnocatrice and Lavasioth, dunno about maps)

[auliaindra99]

they never release new weapon in expansion in the past and i don't think it is going to be different in iceborne, but they did some fine tuning on the weapon in the past like MH4ultimate so it is probably what we will get in iceborne.

[Hammer Of Evil]

i'd like an even bigger hammer, that actually looks evil.

[pogba]

Oh ok, sorry. I stand corrected. I guess it further proves that we won't get a new weapon class.

I wanna scythe. That's all.

There was one in MH1 a great sword that looked like a scythe
and a lance that looked like a Giant 6 shot revolver with a bayonet

That is in fact where the idea for the gunlance came from.
