8. Heavy Bowgun - Monster Hunter: World

2018's Monster Hunter: World had some of the biggest monsters the series had ever served up following its release, however a weapon like the Heavy Bowgun is exactly what players need to even up the odds.

The go-to choice for players looking to make a character build capable of dealing the maximum amount of damage. As the highest DPS weapon in the game, the Heavy Bowgun is at its best when it is relentlessly firing sustained ranged attacks, racking up the numbers and making mincemeat of an enemy's health bar.

The weapon is slightly cumbersome to wield (taking one second to draw and two to put away), however, the benefits far outweigh those small frustrations. For starters, as well as packing the biggest punch in terms of damage, the weapon has a far larger ammo capacity than the Light Bowgun and a much more manageable recoil despite its size.

The Heavy Bowgun also has one more mod than the Light Bowgun and access to more powerful types of ammo. The Heavy Bowgun has become the face of MWH and is still the weapon most builds choose to centre their perks around when they want to feel like an absolute Terminator.
