Forget hunting: You should play the Monster Hunter Wilds beta this weekend to spend as much time as you want in the character creator




The second Monster Hunter Wilds beta is here and open to all, but if you played the first beta in late 2024 there's not a whole lot for you to do this time around. As explained in detail in our beta overview above, Capcom didn't update this beta build of the game with significant changes that are coming in the final release—crunchier hitstop and performance improvements, for example.

Monster Hunter Wilds Switch Axe weapon guide

The Gunlance is one of the most accessible Monster Hunter Wilds weapons in the RPG game, making it a far better choice for beginners than complex weapons like the MHWilds Switch Axe or the MHWilds Charge Blade. Its moveset has several reliable attack rotations that are easy to master, and this latest iteration is more explosive than ever. Here's how to effectively use this highly popular boomstick.
