There are currently six weapons in Monster Hunter Now: Bow, Great Sword, Hammer, Light Bowgun, Long Sword, and Sword and Shield.

The Sword and Shield is the default weapon, so you will get it for free at the start of the game.

To unlock the Great Sword, you will need to complete the first stage of "Chapter 2: Shimmering Swamp" to receive the weapon as a reward.

  • If you're itching to play more Monster Hunter, then we recommend playing the latest release in the iconic series - Monster Hunter Rise .

You will need to reach Hunter Rank 15 to unlock the Bow, Hammer, Light Bowgun, and Long Sword.

Each weapon offers various advantages and disadvantages. Utilize the right one when dealing with specific beasts. Take note of a weapon's unique special skill as they can be especially useful in certain situations.

It is unclear if the developers plan on releasing more unlockable weapons in the future, but it is a possibility we should expect since we could see new monsters come to the game.
