      It is a support weapon and there is nothing wrong with the term since it indicates, that you can support your team and supply yourself and that it will be used offensively. What else do you think the word "weapon" indicates?

    LBG is easily my favourite weapon in World. the ratio mobility/damage/commitment is just too good.
    ° Elemental builds are pretty efficient damage wise (rapid fire is nuts)
    ° Access to mutiple status during the same hunt
    ° Mobility is over the top (even more with dodge extender)
    ° Staying far from monster prevents annoyement like wind pressure, quakes, roar, Elder dragon shields and above all triping from your teamates
    ° You're probably the best support, keeping your teamates alive with healing rounds and being able to use pods and life powder super quickly.
    I raelized how good it is when everyone was talking about Tempered Kirin being a problem, but I could solo it fairly fast with a Fire lemental build on first try ~
    The only real dangers are Teostra's and Nergigante's insta pounce, which can put you in a pickle if you're not careful ~

    • @Malficion
      @Malficion 6 років тому +26

      Not even close... Switch Axe is the weakest weapon in the game. Slow, low DPS, and no Block. That's coming from a guy with 200 SA hunts and 30 CB hunts.

    • @vladislavglad6596
      @vladislavglad6596 6 років тому +22

      Well, switch axe is fun! I only recently picked up SA and I like the game-play, however the biggest downside is immobility when attacking in sword mode... About low damage? Circle swings into transformation leads to some super heavy series of attacks, but again it can be interrupted. That's why you need to disable a monster first --> this is where barooth switch axe shines! Overall, I enjoy it, even though people seem not to be contend with it and some despise this weapon classs...

      ArlanKels light by far. The Karma can apply most statues and have a rapid fire normal ammo 2 with 30% affinity so you can paralyze it and unload several clips into it’s face with each doing 90-150 per round. Edit: when I say “round” I mean with the combined damage with all three shots hitting and being a crit.

    From my time using the HBG shield, you don't need to ads to get the benefit. Just need to not be shooting/reloading/rolling (and a brief time after) and facing the right direction.
    Also looking at the HBG special types, everyone mentions that snipe is only good against large monsters, but when are you going to be pulling out your special shot against non large monsters? Heart only gets good when you're firing for an extended period of time uninterrupted, which is much more situational in my mind. That and snipe might need some setup time, but it's burst damage that's done once you fire, while heart is a sustained barrage that takes some serious time to reach the damage output of snipe. and while the player is trying to reach those damage levels, the snipe user is back to firing regular shots. Heart makes you feel more of a badass though.

    • @HowlingDoom
      @HowlingDoom 6 років тому +3

      The only real con of heart is the slow set up. Other than that its bascially like rapid firing or siege firing with Brave HBG. Can deal a lot of damage on weakspots rather quickly and if you think you need to use a different ammo type you could you knkw switch.

    • @redraptor369
      @redraptor369 6 років тому +4

      When he says large monsters, he's not talking about the difference between a kestodon and a Great Jagras. He's talking about the difference between a Great Jagras and a Deviljho. Snipe is better against large, long monsters like Deviljho, Nergigante, or Xeno'jiiva, but it's terrible against smaller, fast monsters like Odogaron, Legiana, or Kirin where it only hit 2 or 3 times (unless you get a perfect shot, which is pretty difficult considering the amount of setup needed). Heart, on the other hand, does far more damage on the faster monsters and is much easier to use, since you can move while using it and even stop shooting to block an attack. Overall, when Snipe is good it does a massive amount of damage otherwise it's not really worth the effort, while Heart isn't really bad against any monster, it just won't do as much as Snipe against certain monsters.

    • @neopabo
      @neopabo 6 років тому

      Snipe is better for lower affinity weapons, whereas heart is better with higher affinity.

    • @leadpaintchips9461
      @leadpaintchips9461 6 років тому +1

      I understand he was already talking about the 'large' monster type, but my experiences using heart and snipe, the only time that I wished I wasn't using snipe was when I would have wanted to use another weapon altogether. With heart, there has had been plenty of times where I've lamented that the HBG I was using had heart instead of snipe.
      I might be giving the impression that I think snipe is the superior one, and that's not my intention. My intention is to show that it's much closer than a lot of videos out there say it is.

    • @Nimasho2go
      @Nimasho2go 5 років тому

  • @SoundShunter72
    @SoundShunter72 6 років тому +7

    LBG: Smaller clip, more recoil, quicker reload. Meaning you spend more time immobilised between shots, but less time during reloads.
    HBG: Bigger clip, less recoil, slower reload, which is the opposite to LBG.
    If you are good at picking out time windows for reloading then HBG is better, if you want to be able to move around relatively often you should pick LBG.
    HBG is easy to fix with reload mods, LBG requires recoil mods but also clip size skill to make it more like the HBG.

  • @WhiteMagicBusa

  • @Papiness
    @Papiness 6 місяців тому

    Theoretically, their playstyle determines their output where Lbg has more mobility to evade thus dishing out damage in intervals between attacks
    while Hbg has big ammo reserves and long animations meaning they rely on doubling down on massive damage in a short period to match dps or risk getting hit (needing more street smarts of knowing monsters)
    Means Lbg works with everyone really but usually works better with the same playstyles evaders who can handle themselves (LS, SnS, Bow, IG, DB, GL, CB)
    HBG works better with disablers or tanks to draw out aggro (unless ur the tank but another tank is also good)-- Lance, Hammer, HH, SnS, CB
    And usually Lbg shines on Elemental ammo while Hbg works best with the niche Spread or Pierce

  • @astolfo4848
    @astolfo4848 5 років тому +2

    I think comparing 2 equal true damage values is not the correct way to go, so I took bone-, ore- and nergigante-path of hbg and lbg to get the true damage values of each last weapon in its path. Interestingly the hbg was inferior in true damage value by 10 points in each path. I do not have created the weapons yet for field testing, but I would consider the hbg weaker per hit on average in the endgame.
    Hope this little thought of mine helps :)

  • @rwc1984
    @rwc1984 6 років тому +11

    I think a better damage comparison for damage would be to compare Ammo type 3 DPS throughout a fight... it may give same results but I have never tested either... larger clip size should yield more DPS throughout the fight would be my guess... my opinion on damage difference is that LBG fast consistent damage due to mobility and HBG is harder hitting burst damage due to access to cluster ammo, wyvern fire, wyvernsnipe, and wyvernheart

    • @nonaG123
      @nonaG123 6 років тому +1

      idk i've used both plenty and it's so particular to each model you really just need to feel it out and build accordingly. learn what the gun shoots well with then double down skills that make those ammos more effective. as far as dps is concerned you're not wrong really lbg is constant low pressure and HBG is short bursts of big damage.
      I like both though the hbg is more satisfying to use the 'x-factor' as he called it is the reason for that... wyvern blast is so situational whereas wyvern heart and snipe are great for whenever.

      Because it's a comparison and not a review? And the reload speeds and deviaton it's not comparable. Most of heavy and light bowguns have differents times. Is not like LBG have a fast reload because they are tiny, some LBG have a lot of reload time and some of HBG have the same issue, it depends on what kind of ammo use.

    I'm not sure what you would compare the bow to. The game pairs it with kinsect glaive but they aren't really similar. I guess you can compare it to the bowguns but they're also pretty different. One thing i do want to know is iron bow tree vs bone bow tree. Bone has higher damage and seemingly no drawbacks with no sharpness to balance it. The coatings, fire speed, recoil, affinity all seem about the same.

  • @darthplagueis13
    @darthplagueis13 6 років тому +1

    Having played a little of both I have to say that I personally prefer the light bowgun. Just generally the handling feels a lot better and I am a bit of a sucker for status effects anyways (the exhaust lv. 1 burst fire on the Odogaron LBG is just godlike). I think the LBG also just does a better job at utilizing the less expensive ammo types, the lv. 1 stuff and normal shots whereas the best heavy bowgun builds currently out are about explosive, especially cluster shots and wyvern which are very limited in their capacity. It just feels nince not having to craft ammo on the go all the time.

  • @HollowSoulss
    @HollowSoulss 5 років тому +1

    I personally like to use the light bowgun just because I play solo and I need to dodge a lot while fighting and its just great because you have more mobility to dodge attacks and the mines are a pretty good thing too because they do decent dmg to the monster once you set them up in a point and lead the monster their and shoot the mines so they explode and it usualy does really good dmg while you keep shooting them mines so they explode and honestly its just a good weapon to use if anyone is looking for something good that doesnt require you to get close that much of the time

    You do not have to aim down sights to block with the shield.
    Just be looking in the direction of the monsters attack, this is important for cluster ammo since instead of aiming down sights, it goes into a mortal stance.

    Three videos that are all a tie? This is looking a bit like pandering, the videos are good but some of them really seemed like they had a clear winner that you didn't give them in the interests of keeping it equal. For example: the special moves are a big point in the HBG's favour.

      Jahred Harrison i think hes helping us decide who we think the winner is . Since were are the ones who decide to play what we play despite flaws n pros i think. I just think Monster hunter, designed every weapon to be equally good. Thing is, whats "best" i think that falls under how an individual play's, and what weapon compliments his/her's play style.

      I prefer the lbg special. Plant 3 on a down monster's head . Or place and get a monster to charge. Hbg chain gun is to slow and situationa, not to mention recoil . Snipe is nice for long monsters but not short/small monsters. But I will say hbg cluster bomb is king!

  • @tayruskills
    @tayruskills 5 років тому

    If you had to ADS for shield I wouldn’t use it. If your ALWAYS ADSing for shield on HBG you will mistaking do so with cluster equipped at some point (which drops your shield) resulting in a visit from the cart cats! Simply facing in the direction of the attack with a shielded Bowgun unsheathed will block! That being said a bowgun shield is slim for block zone, using ADS will effectively aim your 90 degree block zone. leaving your weapon down in auto block can give time for ammo/item crafting, catch a stray hit while cycling your item wheel or even allow time to send messages and use the pause menu.

    R.I.P. CROUCHING FIRE

    • @DGneoseeker1

      So you can't fire while crouching or just does nothing special?

    • @tony3003001
      @tony3003001 6 років тому

      Crouching fire provides max. of 25 - 30 ammo of specific ammo type each movement. Use it on a Status effect build can cripple monsters ez. And don't forget the Split ammo crouching fire which is op.

    • @DGneoseeker1
      @DGneoseeker1 6 років тому

      I'm not sure what you meant by that. Is crouching fire similar to using wyvernheart?

    • @TheDarkSaintX
      @TheDarkSaintX 6 років тому +5

      No, not quite. Crouching Fire was HBG's special mechanic in previous games. Though unless I'm mistaken, it sadly only existed in 4U, Generations (Cross, in Japan), and the JP-exclusive "Double-Cross".
      Each HBG had a different list of compatible ammo types, similar to the LBG Burst Fire ability. But instead what it did was you could press a button combo to go into a special stance, with the bowgun planted to the ground and your character kneeling next to it. While in the stance you would be unable to move aside from rotating around to aim, but in exchange you would get a MASSIVE increase to magazine size and reduction to recoil (which translates to faster fire rate) with those particular ammo types. We're talking certain bowguns temporarily having upwards of 30 round magazines for the lighter ammo (Normal, elemental, etc), and sometimes even 10+ for the heavier stuff like status rounds.
      Also the increased fire rate meant you could unload those massive magazines VERY quickly. Even against the largest and toughest monsters, a high tier HBG could riddle them with statuses, blow up every breakable part with Crag and Cluster rounds, or pump out enough damage to send them running, all in very little time. Whereas LBG has always been a tool for mobility and efficiency, HBG defined itself as the option for when you wanted to toss both of those things out the window and unleash as much carnage as possible, as fast as possible, regardless of the cost.
      Unfortunately the mechanic was taken back out in MHW, probably because they wanted the game as a whole to be more mobile. Some of the other changes they made, like the Wyvernheart/Wyvernsnipe, the ability to move while firing (even if slowly), the longer roll distance, and others are all still nice additions, don't get me wrong. But Crouching Fire was a very flavorful bit of risk vs reward gameplay that really set the good apart from the great. The "Giant Death Turret Mode" will always have a place in the hearts of HBG fans

    • @DGneoseeker1
      @DGneoseeker1 6 років тому

      Well, that's annoying. I think they should have kept that in.
      Wyvernsnipe meanwhile doesn't really fit with the HBG. Wouldn't it make more sense for the LBG to have that? Seeing as it's the "rifle" as opposed to the anti-tank rifle or whatever the HBG should be considered to be. Mine placing seems extremely random to have as a LBG ability.

    Kinda wish capcom would make it an option to change the weapons to their true damage.
    Also that use to be true. Light bowgun use to do less damage. And heavy use to do more. The trade off was that light had rapid in way more ammo types. (Pierce use to have rapid fire and so did all the ailment shots) while heavy use to have siege mode. Load way more bullets and shoots faster with even less recoil. Made getting a lot of damage out pretty fast. But world changed that.

    • @lethality666
      @lethality666 6 років тому +4

      the damage per shot with the same ammo might be the same but if you look at spread 3 on a HBG and a LBG the HBG has a larger clip, less recoil, and faster reload for a higher tier ammo type. All that means far more shots over a fight than the same LBG. with recoil 4+ on a LBG you get one shot to the recoil 1 or 2 HBG's two or three shots. The dps is totally in favor of the HBG and that's without taking into account wyvern ammo and cluster bombs.

      A fart you shouldn't have trusted funny you say HBG out damages when one word pretty much blows all of that out of the water. Affinity.

    The playstyles of both weapons are so different you can't really make a fair comparison between the two. In order to compare both weapons you need to find a playstyle that fits both weapons respectively, Like spread shotgun, both weapons have different ways to utilize this ammo, and each have their own benefits. Otherwise, a comparison these two like this is kinda niche. They are different weapons lol

I learned a lot.
