I just want to thank you for being one of the few content creators making new videos for this game, but also for not jumping immediately to fatalis gear builds!!! It's so hard to figure our base builds in order to get to the point where you're fighting Fatalis. You rock!!

World is trending again, I jumped back in and man there are way too many Fatalis glass cannon builds. I'm hard stuck at the last few monsters and thinking of trying a ranged weapon and solo what I can, it worked in Rise when players dipped pre Sunbreak. This gear looks very attainable, Might tweak a couple things, but I'm glad to see early endgame sets.

brother its my first time going through mhw and i have been looking for bowgun builds that arent just use fatalis this. thank u i really wanted to play hb and use wyvernheart now i can.

I was personally holding off from playing this game for years and now with Iceborne, it's like a drug...Can't get enough! 😅😂 I always wanted to try the spread ammo build and found this video! Thank you so much. ❤ 🎉

Switched from longsword and never looked back thanks to your build. Only problem i've come across is I feel so powerful and invincible that I'll forget to look at my health because I expect it to never go down and I always get surprised when I die

Yes it's a bit too powerful on your mind. It could your judgment because it feels so broken. Granted it is that strong 😅😂

Just saw this video, implemented it in my own way with Fatalis gear using 95% of your skills & adding more, went with Stygian Zinogre HBG instead for Wyvernsnipe, went 2 shield 3 Close up on the mods & God damn, this thing is a tank, both in defense & damage. With health augmentation too, I'm good

This is definitely the build that got me into bowguns.

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the mhw content

Thank you for this build. I was losing all hope on finding a comfy play style as I'm already failing on other weapons due to age and Shield HBG is the last weapon on my mind. I gave it a go but my personal experiments weren't as satisfying so I was losing hope. Then I stumbled upon your video and your build and suggestions were amazing. It improved my overall set in Shield HBG and have survived multiple hunts as I usually cart most of the time. Thank you thank you, and hoping for all the growth on your KZread channel.

Great guide, would love for you to make a vid about ypur Fatalis version. Been also playing hbg valor in MHGU these days and was disappointed to the changes it got in its moveset but this looks awesome

Hey man, u can optimize ur dps with shield hbg using safi's weapons with fatalis and gama velk sets, or trading the hbg for a most ofensive one and try use evade extender, but nice pré-fatalis build man 👍

Nice :) I use a very similar build for my HBG, just swap out the weap for a Safi Burstcannon. You can get 3.5 knockdowns on Ruiner Nergigante (Ode To Destruction) with 1 Impact Mantle+ use, I have the KO decos on it lol (they only work best when the mantle is on so that's where they go). 4 Stickies to start, then its just Spread 3 all the way. He doesn't make it to the 2nd mantle charge.

I'll have to try slotting in slugger just to tool around with it haha. Yeah Ode To Destruction is such a nice quest to test this stuff on too

I switched this up a bit and used the raging brach helm alpha and braces beta, with the rest being furious jang beta pieces. With the jewels i have, what it got me is Agitator 7, Guard 5, Max Might 5, H Boost 3, AmmoUp 3, Crit Boost 3, Spread 2, wexploit 2, special ammo 2, and guard up. A shame with the wexploit missing a level, but at least Agi 7 and M might 5 more than makes up for the missing level and lack of crit eye 7. For the charm, I used challenger 5 Edit: it seems I’ve forgotten that i also added ballistics, but i’m not sure if it’s worth removing for the full wexploit 3. I hope you can provide some inputs

cool video, cool content creator, cool content! love this build, thanks for sharing!

I would use the LBG when I would get pissed at a monster I was like....that's it gonna shoot you to death lol I need to try the HBG I love the heavy hitting mechanic behind it!

i keep getting hilarious heavy bowgun bro's from my SOS flares and after seeing this i might have to swap my switch axe :')

I would advise to use artian vambraces a+ instead of the b+. Swap the expert 4 for 2 expert 1's and get 1 level of tool specialist as a bonus.

I tried it and i love it. I'm tinkering around it in this very moment. Thank you for taking an approach where it is possible for all the people without Safi/Alatreon/Fatalis-Weapon/Gear. In the past i tried other weapons now and then but never felt like their would do anything for me. With this i was able to finally get my head around it. I build an Spread3, Guard5+Up, Crit from WEx and Maximum Might5 (RagBrachy2PieceSet), Crit Boost3, Health Boost3, Recovery Up3, Recovery Speed 2, Divine Blessing3, Critical Eye1, Fortify 1, Velum2PieceSet. I dropt Spare shot and FreeAmmo because this is a survival build (you can die). Feel free to promote it if you want: Zinogre HBG Rag Brachy 1 Head Alpha! Velum Set 2 Mail and Arms Rag Rajang 2 Legs and Coil Talisman Spread 2 Decorations: 3x4 Slot 3 Divine B + 3 Maximum Might 2x2 Slot 2 Weakness Exploit 1x4 Slot 2 Guard 1x1 Slot 1 Guard 1x2 Slot 1 Guard Up 2x2 Slot 2 Crit Boost 1x4 Slot 1 Crit Boost 1x1 Slot 1 Fortify 1x1 Slot 1 Health Up 1x1 Slot 1 Critical Eye

I used a similar build in a fatalis run, and was the target of that one long fire breath attack he does, and people were screaming at me to run.. wasn't anywhere near cover anyhow, but i aimed at the big lizard, told them to hold my beer, snd all that happened was a little bit of chip damage, roughly the equivalent of a light slap from a nontempered monster. Very funny listening to people cry about carting while all i got was a light tan.

I cannot make a dent on Fati or Alatreon. I'm completely unable to stay alive or do damage. I never tried any of the bows. I'll give it a shot. I'm always confused how to get the right decorations. Thanks for the vid.

i have now fallen in love with hbg and theres no going back

You're making me consider going back, but this time on PC

Been using HBG shield builds for years (even in MHR!) because I simply cannot get around playing with the weird sniper barrel!

I just started using this and I really like it. That being said I get the feeling it’s going to get a little boring. I’ll see how it goes in another few weeks. I’m just guiding lands farming right now. I know this question is very subjective, but which Palico Does everyone think mesh is best with this?

I am a returning player (used to play on PS4, now on PC) and I was wondering if I can use this to progress through the base game? Stopped playing around the time Kulve Taroth was released. Any advice on how to get into this build as early as possible?

What bowgun do you recommend for those who don't own Iceborne. Right now I'm tracking the Pink Rathian.

Recently made this list with a few tweaks and some changes due to monsterhunter not being generous enough to give any decent jewels let alone level 4 jewels with critical anything on it. But the build is solid. Didnt struggle much with it. Question here is which spread ammo is best not only in damage but value of resorces.

Little off topic, but what’s the song in the background? I feel like I’ve heard it before, but can’t place it.

Hi ive just finished the first quest. Can i use heavy bow gun without all these mods and stuff that i assume you get late ?

Thanks for the build. I really like to play with dual blades. You got any build for that??

@TeraRyza

10 ай бұрын

No but I can make some soon!

This build is crazy. I'm the laziest MHW player and was using a similar guard build. Never would have thought i could get an UPGRADE without going full meta dps.

A note about the decorations section. Rather than going over the decos maybe skip that part and go straight into skills detail with an order of priority. While there are obviously optimal ways to do so, there are usually multiple ways to get the skills you are after. And because some people will sacrifice some things for skills they like, a priority order for the mist have, like Spread skill for this build, would likely be more helpful in the long run. In any case excellent video. I need to try spread HBG. I already play sticky and pierce, both fo which are a lot of fun. Soloed Alatreon just yesterday with the pierce version. I plan to play the fight as it was meant to be played later but I wanted to keep it simple while I learned the fight. So I slotted in fortify and accepted the carting. Only took a couple attempts.

can you share the peirce build? I havent done alatreon and fatalis yet

@thomasbrown4626

5 ай бұрын

​ @zxenc Well I can try my best. This really depends on what you have so rather than a direct build I will give an order of priorities. Also I haven't done Fatalis either, though I have heard his hitzones for shots are terrible so pierce may be a bad option for him. For a weapon, if oyu can get or have it, Safi's Snipecannon is going to be your best option. If not then i would suggest a Crimson Kadachi Lion II. Augment as you feel necessary, though interesting thing about the Kadachi hbg is you can augment to 40% affinity which with agitator 5 and fill crit eye means you don't need WEX. Or you can get to 30% on the gun and ignore Crit Eye, using only Agitator and WEX. This can also be partly done with custom upgrades as well, if you have the mats which leaves you more room on the augments. If you take that path then I suggest getting a health regen augment and then attack, or defense if you can't fit attack. But do as you must based on what you have for gear. Though setting up to ignore Crit Eye is easier on slots. For bowgun customizations for the Kadachi weapon, Special Scope is super strong, within its special ranges that is. Though it can be annoying to use when trying to dodge stuff, and it isn't required. Besides that, its your call. For damage: long range mod, for qol: recoil suppressor, shield for defense. Power Barrel is also good. Slows the pierce ammo down so it stays inside the monster and ticks more damage. Don't use Long, does the opposite. I don't advise reload assists as this gun starts Peirce 3 at normal and would take 3 to hit fast. I really don't have any suggestions for Safi's weapon as I didn't have that. For Armor I suggest 3 piece Nargacuga and 2 piece Raging Brachy. This will give you Agitator secret and True Spare Shot. I would personally use the Nargacuga head, arms, and boots. And the Raging Brachy chest and waste if you go for that setup. Max agitator, and one in pierce. Plus some evade window, stamina surge, and one in peak performance for extras. If you want to use something other than Nargacuga cus the slots and skills on it aren't great then I strongly suggest having the Razorsharp Charm for Spare Shot. If you have it available at this point, Gold Rathian 2 piece is god option if you don't want to use Nargacuga. Divine Blessing Secret is amazing for defense, pieces have good slots, and Divine Blessing, Health Boost and WEX for good skills depending on the pieces used. You might be able to live without Spare Shot, but it will be tight. If you aren't taking unnecessary carts to random attacks you do run the risk of running out of ammo and mats to make more ammo. And you will definitely need to restock on any death. That said, it would open you up for more options for skills/decos/charms. For skills, it is primarily the usual dps stuff. Affinity till 100%, pierce shot skill, fortify since you WILL cart on EJ. That is the absolute minimum. Attack boost/Peak performance is nice if you can fit it. Rest is QoL. Free Elem/Ammo Up, you can live without it but you will reload more often. Evade Extender for dodging and movement, Health Boost for extra health, Blight Resist in case you get hit. I advise against Coalescence, you don't wanna be hit to much as Alatreon hits really hard and you don't want to risk extra carts. So Coal realistically shouldn't be active much. Guard skills if you have shields on the bowgun. 3 shields, Guard 5, and Guard Up will apparently let you block most of his stuff. I didn't personally try this. But from what I have read the only attacks you need to actively dodge for the block build are his narrow sweeping ice breath and his ice breath when he flies up and aims it down to make a circular aoe. For mantles, I used Temporal and Rocksteady. But Vitality, Fire/Thunder/Ice/Dragon proof can be useful as well. I would personally suggest Thunderproof in the case of those. In my experience he uses that pretty consistently no matter what element form he is in. I usually slot in maintenance jewels into these to speed up the other mantle if its on cd, but you can also slot in things like speed eating, recovery, elemental resists, and other qol defensive/recovery stuff. If you have the upgraded versions. For the fight itself. Felyne Moxie or Safeguard are strongly recommended for an extra cart. Because you aren't engaging with the elemental mechanic on this build you can't weaken EJ and you WILL cart to it. For your palico, Shieldspire can help take the heat off you, Vigorwasp is useful in general, Meowlotov if you want the extra damage. For the clutch claw, weaken the body. Most of your damage will come from shooting through the body which is huge. Weakening the wings also weakens the body for some reason on this guy so this isn't hard to do. Pick up crystal burst inside the camp when you end up back there. It can save you if you get knocked on your ass in that way where you can still act. Besides that, spam as much damage as you can and avoid as many hits as you can. Even with the special scope, Alatreon himself has some pretty big tells for when he is attacking. But this fight is still pretty tough. Took me a few tries to get him down. Hope this helps and good luck. Alatreon is a really cool fight. And quite well designed. It is tough but mostly fair. Edit 1: Added some extra suggestions to armor and clarified some stuff about the weapon augments. Edit 2: Added an extra note about Spare Shot.

literally my build since iceborne released

One thing I don’t understand: what’s the purpose of taking the Raging Brachy set bonus (+2 max Agitator) when it looks like you don’t actually have any levels of Agitator in the build?

i think i go for decorations hunting...i lack too much important decorations. still stuck at safi jiva after just recently return.

lmao! that aged beautifully!!! Well, whenever we do get the announcement for the next game, I think MHW is what people are going to be playing! Definitely returned during this Return to World campaign and having a blast with the game. Honestly I feel like MHW came out around other games. Maybe I played until God Of War released then forgot about it.

How is it against fatalis? I’m looking for a build that I can solo fatalis with but all the guides have full fatalis gear already ….

would the demonlord belt not be better with shara gloves for 2 crt boost and 3 free ele/ammo up? (frightfull ticket, halloween event, can buy with joyfull tickets at melder) still easy to get. yan boots with fulg anju head. and kirin jacket. for people who are newer and don't have the rare crt boost deco's? agmented and weakend, you still get 100% crt. tender deco's are easyer than crt boost deco's. considering the game went on sale winter 2023.

Wish I didn't spend all my armor spheres on hammer builds. I'm hard stuck on the last few fights (Safi, Altereon, R. Brachy, F. Rajang) where the game is kind of dead (or just low player population) online for console save for a revival on PC. EDIT: While it's a nice build, the brachy pieces will be a struggle to get. I've managed to beat Zinogre and need to get a few more deathly shockers and the other item from Grinding Lands. This will take a while. When I played Rise, I was a few months late and most parties stopped doing certain quests so I soloed with LBG and it worked well. So figured I'll give this a try for HBG since it's a weapon I never tried. Also recommend Quick Sheathe. HBG is very slow with putting away weapon to heal, you'd be surprised how often you can cart due to animation lock. Also, is Slugger good to have for this build?

Would you recommend this for tempered kushala Daria Event quest? This guy keeps fucking me up with his stupid Wind Attacks :) Any advice? BTW your Videos made me start World again an finish alatreon and fatalis. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Bro, u can actually replace the Kirin Jacket Beta+ by the Alpha+ one which provides u with one more point of Critical Eye, one lv3 gem slot and 1 lv2 gem slot, then u just need to swap the Spread Jewel 3 from the Brachy Helm to the Kirin Jacket and the Critical/Protection from Kirin Jacket to Brachy Helm, it will still provide u with the same amount of buffs and u can save 1 lv1 gem slot for sth else but not Expert lv1

Yes. At smithy, go to build weapons, look at the tree, search for ammo type (on PS5 it's the L3 button). It will highlight All with that ammo type. 2 main things to look for: Recoil and reload. You want low recoil and fast reload, normal reload is adequate but fast is best. Clip is important, but fast reload makes it not too important!😊 More is always better! BTW, save game before you build any weapon, especially Bow guns because you don't know how many mods are needed to reach +1 or low recoil for instance. So build it, mod it, and if it doesn't reach your desired build, quit game without saving! No materials lost or wasted.😊😊😊

having over 3000 hbg kills in world i can confirm that going over more than 1 shield is overkill, same with health augments. if you don't like using scope that's fine but you lose 30% damage so just learn how to use it. best thing to do is use 2 close with a shield or 3 close range.
