Weapons | Monster Hunter Rise Wiki

Monster Hunter Rise Weapons (MHR or MHRise) are the many categories of equipment that is used during a Hunt to deal damage to Monsters. MHR Weapons are divided into fourteen types, each with special requirements and a unique move-set, complete with strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to Switch Skills and the Wirebug, Monster Hunter Rise Weapons have been revamped to include new and unique abilities, which are detailed on their individual pages.

Some weapons have Elemental Damage that is grayed out and in parentheses. These type of damage refers to a secondary damage dealt by Weapons and Monsters which can be mitigated by specific Resistances. These weapons require a skill called Free Elem/Ammo Up to take effect. Each Monster has weaknesses and resistances to the five types of Elemental Damage, causing them to take more or less damage from these sources. For example, the Lagombi is a Monster that favors cold habitats, predominantly uses Ice Elemental attacks and has a severe weakness to Fire Elemental damage. The in-game Hunter's Notes covers these Weaknesses and Resistances for each Monster under the Physiology tab.

Monster Hunter Rise Weapons: Choices in MH Rise

When picking a Monster Hunter Rise Weapon, it is important to consider its Damage Type and/or Status Effect to take advantage of a Monster's weaknesses.

Raw (Physical) Damage from Weapons is dealt as one of three types: Cutting (Sever), Blunt, and Ammo, while Elemental Damage has five types: Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, and Dragon.
Status Effects do not directly deal damage, but rather build up effects including Poison, Stun, Paralysis, Sleep, and Blast.
Monsters' resistance to Raw and Elemental Damage will vary by body part, while resistance to Status Effects vary by Monster.

Additionally, keep in mind that wielding a Blademaster (melee) Weapon will reduce Physical Damage taken, while ranged Weapons will reduce Elemental Damage taken.

See Monsters or the in-game Monster Field Guide for more information.
See Damage Types and Status Effects for details.

Introduced with the release of the Sunbreak Expansion, Master Rank Weapons are a brand new and more powerful tier of Weaapons available to hunters to help them deal with the deadlier Monsters that can be found on the Sunbreak Expansion. These weapons use Master Rank Materials that can be obtained by completing quests and doing endgame content.

Note that these Weapons can only be accessed by players that have purchased and installed the Sunbreak Expansion. For those who own the expansionless version of Monster Hunter, these Weapons are unobtainable.
