If you're a modern day Sundance Kid and shoot better when you move, the Light Bowgun is the Monster Hunter weapon for you. Of the game's three ranged weapons, this is the one that encourages (even demands!) you stay light on your feet, attacking monsters from a sweet spot that deals extra damage based on your ammo.

Raising Kinsects costs monster materials, and since your bug pal is being upgraded, you won't be able to see all of the available options unless you make one of every single Kinsect.
