There are two main types of Bowgun that are classified by
weight: the Light Bowgun, and the Heavy Bowgun. The different types of Bowgun will affect their user’s behavior in a
number of ways. For example, the Heavy Bowgun’s weight will
prevent its user from being able to move as quickly as usual.
A true gunner knows how to zoom in precisely on an enemy’s
weak point to deliver a deadly shot. The Bowgun lets you aim
in two different ways.

can be called true
Lancers!
Unlike most other weapons, the Lance isn’t good for speedy
evasive maneuvers − what’s more, it makes for oppressively
slow movement when it’s out and at the ready. To overcome
these obstacles, it’s imperative that Lance hunters know how
to make the most of the block maneuver.
The Block advance can come in handy in a wide variety
of situations. You can even combat monster breath with a
