Crafted by combing Normal Ammo 1 + Gunpowder Lvl 2. Normal Ammo 2 – Behaves exactly the same way as level 1 but has more power. everything you would expect a bullet to do. Normal Ammo 1 – As basic ammo as you can get, you shoot it, it does damage. Wyvernsnipe on the other hand acts like a single explosive packed sniper shot, the bullet travels through a monster dealing a number of hits, then explodes for every hit landed. Wyvernheart basically turns your Bowgun into a machine-gun, rapidfiring multiple rounds over the course of the duration. As a general rule of thumb, HBG’s from the ore tree have Wyvernheart while bone tree HBG’s have Wyvernsnipe. Heavy Bowguns then get one of two Special Ammo types, Wyvernheart or Wyvernsnipe. It also deals proportional damage to what hit it, so be sure to think about your placement. This landmine goes off when anything hits it, be it you, monster or another player.

Light bowguns get Wyvernblast, which is a special kind of bullet you deploy into the ground like a landmine. New to MH: World are also the Special Ammo types. Surely that’d make Light bowgun better right? Well not necessarily, you see in exchange for mobility, the Heavy bowgun packs a much heftier punch and has access to some really strong ammo types. Light bowguns allow you to move more swiftly and evade more nimbly while Heavy Bowguns as the name suggests are slow to move around. The main difference between the two bowgun weapon types is mobility. Light Bowgun (LBG) or Heavy Bowgun (HBG)? So the reality is even though there are only 2 bowgun weapon types, it breaks down to around 10 different gunner roles which even have some crossover depending on the specific gun. Similar to real life how a shotgun and rifle may appear the same but serve vastly different roles in terms of how they deal damage. Despite having only Two types of Bowgun, the diversity comes from the ammo type selection, ammo capacity, recoil and many other factors that can further define the purpose of a bowgun. Outside of “This looks cool” or “I wanna shoot stuff” bowguns offer a very different and tactical way to play the game.

I’ll discuss everything from which guns to use, what armor you should wear, what different ammo types do and more! My aim is for this guide to be as useful a resource to series veterans as it would be someone new to the game or series looking to understand the complex and at times confusing weapons that bowguns are. Welcome friends, I’ve been wanting to do an all encompassing guide on the Light and Heavy Bowguns in Monster Hunter: World.
