Raptor98 Hahah, yeah. Some of the funniest shit I've seen in a while. I wonder how fellow hunters would feel if a GL actually did that... Maybe the popcorn GL,
I avidly use the GL in 3U and outside of the new stuff implemented in 4U I can safely say that I learned something new. Your guides are the best I've seen on the Monster Hunter series. Keep it up! :)
Seltas Helm X Kaiser Mail X Agnaktor Vambraces X Seltas Waist X Vangis greaves X +5 handicraft +4 artillery (+4 minimal handicraft 2 slots for same effect) He gemmed in for evasion +1 instead of guard. but assuming you have a handicraft +4 (3 slots ideal) charm. 3 artillery gems in charm, 3 in legs, 1 in vambraces. Guard +3 gems in everything else. This will give you: Razor Sharp Sharpness +1 Artillery God Guard +2 To compare. He put +3 evade into arms, body, helm, and weapon instead of guard to give himself evasion +1 he also put artillery +2 into his weapon because his charm did not have enough artillery (needed 2 more).
Metalmine i've been using quick sheathing. it gets me out of some nasty situations, but i reckon it's not the most optimal skill to have with gunlances. i also have Guard +2, Light Eater and Defense Up M. All from a D. Hermitaur armor set and a charm with sheathing +6 and two slots. for G1 quests (i'm G1 still), it's been doing fine, but it's troublesome against monsters with multiple hitting AoE attacks.
An easy alternative to this set is seltas x, esurient z, seltas x, kaiser, vangis and a handicraft +5 three slot talisman. It has all those skills and attack up small. If you have a better talisman you might be able to get another skill by sacrificing a few points in artillery and maybe mixing it differently.
Gaijin, you nailed it. I was especially looking forward to this one, and it's great, exactly what I was hoping it would be. Keep up the awesome work, man!
I know that this video is older, but I decided to get back into MH4U with Generations coming out soon and went back to my old main, the Gunlance. I was watching I noticed you left out a useful combo for massive damage to monsters that are stuck in place. After the Full Burst on normal or long you can hold x+a and execute a wyvernfire in that same combo.
I would like to add the fact that combos of X after X+A puts you directly into guarding position. Since I'm a Guard Gunlancer, I feel the need to share that...
Since Ala was delayed to TBD for Iceborne and I ran out of stuff to do in that game (just grinding Guiding lands but I can do that any time) I'm going to start a fresh save in MH4U, the game where finally I found my true main weapon: Gunlance. Watching this before starting my new save
The scream after every burst. Such win. I'm new at playing the Gunlance and this guide is friggin awesome! (I main IG, sub CB) I find Gunlance somewhat fun and quirky. :) Thanks!
So, what's interesting is I loved using the hammer, but I think I'm gonna main gunlance, and these tutorials have helped immensely with that. I've actually been thinking of making these weapon "cheat sheets" i guess, mostly based off the guides, with written button-to-action guides, combos and strategies for said weapons.
I started playing, but I really enjoy the lance watching you inspired me. I don't see many lancers online I hope to get the hang of it you made it look so easy! Subscribed!
The R-Forward-A attack seems like such a little thing, but it really made GunLance A HELL of a lot more fun to play with. Just, being able to rush in and do a shell attack on a monster that your stabs would bounce off of, or to punish a roar after guarding it with a charged shell. It's great.
gaijin hunter Hey Gaijin! just wanted to congratulate you for your spike in views and subs, your an amazing hunter with a lot of good knowledge, your rare in terms of you tubers. i remember watching your videos when they are less then 100 views, right there i could see it in your content that you were under appreciated. keep it up man! i hope all this sharing and liking I've been doing is helping out
That scream at 0:21 ran chills down my spine, I alt f4ed the my webbrowser.. I then selected past that point.. didnt hear the sound again and silently freaked out in my living room.
I can't wait for a Dual Blade guide (if you make one) to see how much my main weapon has changed. I hear there are a couple changes to stuff like demon mode. Speaking of demon mode, wouldn't it be the sweetest shit if the purple and red aura that surrounds you during demon mode formed into horns, wings, and a tail? Even if they were small, that would be the coolest shit ever.
I see you know about the charge scoop to shell interrupt, but forgot to mention it in the video. Also to note, Wyvern Fire can be combed into after both a lance slam as well as the 3rd upwards thrust (you'll get no visual indicator for this, so the timing is fairly easy to mess up), which means that you can go into a Wyvern Fire very easily whenever you see your chance in a combo.
nice evading, and nice guide. one thing though; you forgot to include the X+A jump attack from sheathed and the forward X jump attack which both do a jumping slam. it also leads to full burst and the forward X jump attack even reloads one shell.
was going to say that, also the step in stab (forward X) is weird going up ledges, it can sometimes transition into the jump slam, and going down ledges at the correct distance it can attack then drop down for the slam you can also Wyvern Fire from a slam or after the full burst, and a minimal note is that any evade can reload, side evade aswell.
One jumping attack that was missed in this: If you're jumping with your weapon sheathed (dashing off a ledge, jumping off a wall, etc.) hit R+X+A and you'll unsheathe straight into a slamming jump attack, which you can then follow up with burst fire as soon as you land.
jp mesquita Just the "slam" part of the attack. But the burst followup is good when you don't trigger a mount or if you fall just short of your target.
Dexcat i'd say that using the burst follow up, then climbing back up the ledge and doing it again does more damage and saves more time than mounting, then bursting. and thank you! i've been wondering if there was any jump attack that wasn't the aerial poke.
Something to know that isn't showcased is that after a Lance Slam, instead of a Full Burst, if you press X+A then Wyvern's Fire is used. Handy to combo into sometimes.
You forgot to mention that you can do the wyvern fire after the overhead GL slam by holding R + X+ A right after the slam, other than that it's a great tutorial, good job !
I've made a concept weapon called Gun Sword on the MH Fanon Wiki. I've always thought of that, but the Gunlance it's too heavy 4 that. My concept however, that's a possible idea to it! I would be glad if u check it out! :D
I thought I learned everything about gunlance from playing for a while, I didn't know about "charged shots" though, I only knew about the stab + stab + slam + shoot combo, wyvern's fire and the main stabbing attacks
I remember back in mhfu, I used a gunlance for most of low rank until I hit Khezu urgent quest. One of my favourite moves was to wait for the monster to sleep, place LBBs all over his head, then use wyvern’s fire on the bombs to set them off. It almost always killed them immediately, or it only took one hit after that. Good times.
That scream bro lols for days! BTW Idk cuz it's not in U.S. yet but on 3U after Lance slam you can do the wavering fire as well. Hope it's still in lol it was a good flurry for a trapped monster ^ω^
I think you forgot to mention you can combo into a Wyvern's fire after the slam instead of a burst too. Great Guide though! I like how you explained shelling I was always flustered by the number charts.
I played once with GL in Arena because there wasn't much else to take. And I didn't realize that this weapon have so much combos. I did not really like it because you're slow and you can't roll but I guess I can give it a try seeing how "complex" this weapon can become
Been wanting to get back into the weapon that got me through the bits of G rank I had to solo in MH3U, And I'm glad to find I can be a lot better at it lol. Best I knew back then was Tank'n Spank, Normal GL's had good slam bursts and Long Gl's had the best wyvernfire. Beyond that I used it like a gimped lance with the occasional explosion. No better time to improve like the present
Thanks a lot for the guides, and I have a question: in mh4u, is it easy to see whether you have hit a big monster with your shell or not? like, are there any new (or better) visual indication for that? I'm currently practicing on mh3p, and sometimes I'm not really sure that I hit with my shell or not, because there was no flame effect on the monster (even though it should be in the shell's range). I've been shelling as close as possible to make sure that it won't miss, but that's not stylish (and not efficient imo) :( So...looking forward to your answer! ^_^
Fire on the monste Or you can see a withe flash effect it means that u hittet the monster When use full burst the game can just show 3 fires but you should know that it hittet al the 5,6, or four shells (assuming yu got load up)
I came across a write up on your weapon reviews for mh4u but cant seem to find it anymore lol. I was just curious how all the weapons line up to one another damage wise? yes i know depends on skill gear etc, but generally well geared and well played equally how do the line up? LOVE the look of gunlances and would like to see just how far down the list of damage they are haha.
The numbers you use when talking about each attack, is that the percentage of attack power each attack does? Also not mentioned was the ability to use wyvern's fire after a slam instead of the burst fire by pressing X+A, and also after the upswing and two upward pokes the same way. Second may not be particularly useful in most instances but a nice trick to know, but after the slam is especially good with a long shot type GL.
one combo you forgot to list and one im really surprised you missed. after full slam you can go striaght into wyveren fire by hitting x+a. because of the knockback it better to fprward+y off a ledge, shell, fullslam, then wyvern fire.
+Malcolm Manire He forgot to mention that you can also reload by holding R and pressing A. I actually prefer this reload because it allows me to reload immediately instead of backhopping first.
Try this trick for a mobile quickburst-gunlancer: When the monster is at far range, un-draw the weapon, run towards it(R+forward) then in order press X (thrust), A (fire), A (reload), X (Slam), and A (Burst) Use it only for openings that a monster wont hit you. Gunlancing is very fun to learn any random tricks that works anytime..
@@isaacsteele7986 I know this comment is even older. But in order to do that, you'd need to stand still and undraw. Stabbing would undraw your weapon and the combo while still doing damage.
My biggest hurdle to getting along with the gunlance is mobility. Unlike the greatsword, where you constantly sheath and unsheathe, there's much more unsheathed time with the gunlance. So with monsters like Nyrscylla, who are constantly moving in and out of range, it's more difficult for me to land combos. Fighting Zinogre with gunlance is real fun, though.
WOAAAHHH!!!!!! I got the demo for MH4U and didnt know we could do jump shell linkl to full burst... so many secrets... wonder what the long sword has.. like, I used it and didn't see anything different at all lol
It can do triple slash from the spirit combo (before the final spirit hit) if u press r when jumping midair. Slick move ^^. Overall LS become more versatile in 4U, alot more fluid
Vebri Valentino Actually Longsword was nerfed quite a bit in 4U. U no longer can spam the spirit attacks, becuz it now resets you're spirit guage if it get's down too much. Also, it's now a medium-high damage weapon, other than a high-very damage one. :/
ShadowBlazeroPT is it? doest take away the experience for me though. still kills monsters quite fast and combos are super fluid now :). and i did say more versatile not stronger :)
Can anybody fill me in on a few things I've been wondering about Gunlance? 1. Is shelling affected in any way by Affinity? 2. Is shelling damage effected by sharpness? 3. If you hone a Gunlance for Life, can the shelling proc the healing effect?
Zenfirox Hawkeyes oh ? Then I used to sharpen it for nothing then ^^. No use for whetstones if you're good with the shells. that means even in orange lvl, the shells still have the same DMG. Was it different back in MH3U perhaps?
mind that below yellow (or green not sure) sharpness you can't shell! same goes for wyvern fire... that's the reason why i don't absolutely need sharpness+1 on my wide-gl setup
I really like the Gunlance and the idea behind it. Even tho i am not really good with it yet. Whats actually better playing GL with blocking or dodging? I cant get used to the dodging with the GL it feels awkward and i mess it up almost 99% of the time. But blocking seems to be terrible in multiplayer games. I often get hit out of my blocking stance from my "comrades" and take a large hit by the boss as a result. Do i have to learn dodging for multiplayer games?
Galang Widjaya I didn´t even get a dod dam Zinogre plate, but for some magic I managed to get like 5 Umbrage, I hope to get the same luck with the Stygian Skymerald.
Question: Are the bombs by themselves powerful when used on monsters that are awake? Appreciate the tutorials videos btw! Plan on using every weapon type.
One specific note that I think was missed? (Or I'm blind) You can cancel the 'running thrust' into a running shell by pressing A during the run. So forward + X -> A is a shell instead of a thrust. This does NOT cancel into the air shell attack however.
you forgot to mention in the video, the Gunlance shield is stronger than the Lance shield, allowing you to tank attacks that would flinch a normal lance user without guard skills, you also take less damage when guarding attacks. Also Normal shelling is short range, Long shelling shoots the farthest away from you in a straight line, and Wide shelling is a very wide shot, reaches longer than Normal. The same applies to Wyvern Fire.
That was a pretty great tutorial. Although I'd like to know how efficient it is to chain into wyvrn fire after a slam by pressing X+A vs just doing it when the opening presents itself.
u probably already been told this: you can wyvern fire after lance slam, and if you use the running thrust (forward + X) off an edge you quick reload + air attack. Gunlance has 3 jump attacks which is pretty neat.
Gaijin, if my gunlance doesn't scream like that when I burst or wyvern fire, I will sue. So friggin great, many thanks for the tutorial!
Just have a YT video of it playing on your computer and be ready to hit the play button :P
Raptor98 Hahah, yeah. Some of the funniest shit I've seen in a while. I wonder how fellow hunters would feel if a GL actually did that... Maybe the popcorn GL,
It'd be a hit or miss weapon. Definitely be a hit for me Haha.
You forgot to mention that after doing a slam you can press X+A to combo a wyvern fire instead of finishing the full burst
LOL, the screaming scared the shit out of me at first.
I avidly use the GL in 3U and outside of the new stuff implemented in 4U I can safely say that I learned something new. Your guides are the best I've seen on the Monster Hunter series. Keep it up! :)
Seltas Helm X

He gemmed in for evasion +1 instead of guard. but assuming you have a handicraft +4 (3 slots ideal) charm.
3 artillery gems in charm, 3 in legs, 1 in vambraces. Guard +3 gems in everything else.
This will give you:
Razor Sharp

Guard +2
To compare. He put +3 evade into arms, body, helm, and weapon instead of guard to give himself evasion +1 he also put artillery +2 into his weapon because his charm did not have enough artillery (needed 2 more).
Senario Is sharpness +1 really useful if you only use your shots?
TicTac MentheDouce not really, no. you'd want speed sharpening instead maybe.

***** not constitution but artillery on gun lances is useful.
That goat scream during the wyvern's fire almost made me crap myself laughing

I know that this video is older, but I decided to get back into MH4U with Generations coming out soon and went back to my old main, the Gunlance. I was watching I noticed you left out a useful combo for massive damage to monsters that are stuck in place. After the Full Burst on normal or long you can hold x+a and execute a wyvernfire in that same combo.
I never knew about the aerial shot into an attack in the air 0_o
Aerial gunlance confirmed! (will play with this :P)
What the hell is that scream at 9:20 or so? It makes my sides hurt from laughing :D
Great tutorials, subscribed in hopes of more MH content in future!
your videos and tumblr thingy guides have been a gospel for me learning thus game. thanks dude!
Really really impressed with the effort u put in the video and notes u did beforehand! Subscribed bro!
I would like to add the fact that combos of X after X+A puts you directly into guarding position. Since I'm a Guard Gunlancer, I feel the need to share that...
This was actually a great tutorial. I'm a new hunter and like the gunlance best, so it's really cool to see ways to boost my play.
Since Ala was delayed to TBD for Iceborne and I ran out of stuff to do in that game (just grinding Guiding lands but I can do that any time) I'm going to start a fresh save in MH4U, the game where finally I found my true main weapon: Gunlance. Watching this before starting my new save
Ok this video really helped me with Gunlances and I thank you for that but what the hell was up with the screaming goat during the shots?
wolfclaw719 Its for funny.
That's his reaction when doing sweet moves
Unfortunately its the only thing bad about his videos, as its quality standard is up to par
The scream after every burst. Such win.
I'm new at playing the Gunlance and this guide is friggin awesome!
(I main IG, sub CB) I find Gunlance somewhat fun and quirky. :)
Thanks!
"I had to get used to the gunlances large and slow 3rd hit"
Generations: I'm about to ruin this whole man's lancing career.
So, what's interesting is I loved using the hammer, but I think I'm gonna main gunlance, and these tutorials have helped immensely with that.
I've actually been thinking of making these weapon "cheat sheets" i guess, mostly based off the guides, with written button-to-action guides, combos and strategies for said weapons.
Let me just say right here that these guides are absolutely amazing, and very interesting even to veteran players like myself. Thank you very much.
I just got MH4 in the us, this was an awesome tutorial, thanks.
I started playing, but I really enjoy the lance watching you inspired me. I don't see many lancers online I hope to get the hang of it you made it look so easy! Subscribed!
so what about that scream?
The R-Forward-A attack seems like such a little thing, but it really made GunLance A HELL of a lot more fun to play with.
Just, being able to rush in and do a shell attack on a monster that your stabs would bounce off of, or to punish a roar after guarding it with a charged shell. It's great.

Thank you, again, for your great videos. You increase my enjoyment of this game dramatically!
well guy, you've earned yourself at least 1 new sub with these amazing guides! I've really enjoyed them and hope you make more.
wow, what a incredible tutorial, I learn a lot... thanks dude :-D Im a proud Gunlancer hunter and now I will practice all what I have learned from you
I see you know about the charge scoop to shell interrupt, but forgot to mention it in the video.

I really love your tutorials. I hope you will cover all the weapons.
keep up this excellent work !
Thx for the tutorial so many cool weapons its hard to decide
Rewatching this again to play MH4u. Haha
i love the screaming noise! and btw, great tutorial. its really going to help me. thank you 😁
nice evading, and nice guide.

I think we can all agree the Gore Magala gunlance is the best looking weapon in the entire game.
I don't really like the design I expected more tbh
thank you for making all of these great tutorials
Also you can combo from slam to Wyvern Fire, although i am not sure it would really add up to dps.
Because of this vid I wanna call the wyvern fire the goatscream of doom
I first started using the gunlance when I compared it to RWBY. beast.
I think GL needs a jumping attack, just like rocket jump but shell jump
I've made a concept weapon called Gun Sword on the MH Fanon Wiki. I've always thought of that, but the Gunlance it's too heavy 4 that. My concept however, that's a possible idea to it! I would be glad if u check it out! :D

That scream bro lols for days! BTW Idk cuz it's not in U.S. yet but on 3U after Lance slam you can do the wavering fire as well. Hope it's still in lol it was a good flurry for a trapped monster ^ω^
You should do a series of these for each weapon and put it up on kickstarter or patreon. Take my money!

Hermoso tuto, gracias mi compa
I have no experience with this weapon. Thanks for the guide. Can't way to try out the GL.
Also after multi shot, you can follow up with wyvern fire.
always love these my friend keep it going
My favorite weapon, thanks for video!
Just a note: Spread shot has been translated as Wide shot, at least in the PAL version of MH4U.
Ok, need to find a way to mod that scream in during every wyvernfire
I came across a write up on your weapon reviews for mh4u but cant seem to find it anymore lol.

didn't you forget to mention you can combo into wyvern fire after a slam?

Gaijin hunter! on the Gunlance you can do a slam jump attack as well, great for mounting. If you just Do the forward X or Draw X off a ledge.
Heh... time to master a new weapon. Thanks for the tutorial!
Super interested in learning this weapon but I've been a DS main so the transfer of mobility is gonna be tough
one combo you forgot to list and one im really surprised you missed. after full slam you can go striaght into wyveren fire by hitting x+a. because of the knockback it better to fprward+y off a ledge, shell, fullslam, then wyvern fire.

Saderich The Rich Ah. I was wrong.Still back stepped first, which isn't necessary/
One thing you missed was cancelling the charge initiation into a shell.
Dunno if anyone mentioned it cause it wasn't in the video but after a slam or burst you can combo into wyvern fire.

Use it only for openings that a monster wont hit you. Gunlancing is very fun to learn any random tricks that works anytime..

Vebri Valentino Actually Longsword was nerfed quite a bit in 4U. U no longer can spam the spirit attacks, becuz it now resets you're spirit guage if it get's down too much. Also, it's now a medium-high damage weapon, other than a high-very damage one. :/
ShadowBlazeroPT is it? doest take away the experience for me though. still kills monsters quite fast and combos are super fluid now :). and i did say more versatile not stronger :)
Huh...had no idea you could charge normal shell shots lol. always knew about wyvern fire but never shell charging
on mh3u, i tried using gunlance just for fun. when the monster's sleeping, put bombs, then use wyvern's fire. it was gloriously magnificent.
loved this tutorial really helped me out thanks
Can anybody fill me in on a few things I've been wondering about Gunlance?
1. Is shelling affected in any way by Affinity?
2. Is shelling damage effected by sharpness?
3. If you hone a Gunlance for Life, can the shelling proc the healing effect?
Joey Schuppe 1. nope, 2. luckily nope and 3. still have to check but i believe yes!
Zenfirox Hawkeyes I thought the shell damage went up according to your shaprness lvl. But maybe I was wrong. it has to be verified
Tanryoku Rockbuster nope it only depends on your shelling Level! Most GL have Level 4 or 5 (max)
Zenfirox Hawkeyes oh ? Then I used to sharpen it for nothing then ^^. No use for whetstones if you're good with the shells. that means even in orange lvl, the shells still have the same DMG.
Was it different back in MH3U perhaps?
mind that below yellow (or green not sure) sharpness you can't shell! same goes for wyvern fire... that's the reason why i don't absolutely need sharpness+1 on my wide-gl setup
I really like the Gunlance and the idea behind it. Even tho i am not really good with it yet. Whats actually better playing GL with blocking or dodging? I cant get used to the dodging with the GL it feels awkward and i mess it up almost 99% of the time. But blocking seems to be terrible in multiplayer games. I often get hit out of my blocking stance from my "comrades" and take a large hit by the boss as a result. Do i have to learn dodging for multiplayer games?
I'm not sure if they changed it but you can reload after any evade in 3U, so if you dont want to backhop you can just sidestep
These are great, please do a bow video!! Thank you!
congratulations, you got zinogre jasper..
Galang Widjaya I didn´t even get a dod dam Zinogre plate, but for some magic I managed to get like 5 Umbrage, I hope to get the same luck with the Stygian Skymerald.
Question: Are the bombs by themselves powerful when used on monsters that are awake? Appreciate the tutorials videos btw! Plan on using every weapon type.
those screams made the video better for me haha
I know this wasn't mentioned in the video, but you can't use shells when sharpness drop below yellow (red/orange). Just to throw it out there.
One specific note that I think was missed? (Or I'm blind)
You can cancel the 'running thrust' into a running shell by pressing A during the run. So forward + X -> A is a shell instead of a thrust. This does NOT cancel into the air shell attack however.
I wish my gunlance produced goat screams.
you forgot to mention in the video, the Gunlance shield is stronger than the Lance shield, allowing you to tank attacks that would flinch a normal lance user without guard skills, you also take less damage when guarding attacks.
Also Normal shelling is short range, Long shelling shoots the farthest away from you in a straight line, and Wide shelling is a very wide shot, reaches longer than Normal. The same applies to Wyvern Fire.
That was a pretty great tutorial. Although I'd like to know how efficient it is to chain into wyvrn fire after a slam by pressing X+A vs just doing it when the opening presents itself.
Hey what do you personally prefer, lance or gunlance? And have you made a pros and cons video comparing the two? Thanks dude.
u probably already been told this: you can wyvern fire after lance slam, and if you use the running thrust (forward + X) off an edge you quick reload + air attack. Gunlance has 3 jump attacks which is pretty neat.
At 12:17 he mentions Proof Guard. Is that just Guard +2?
