can recommend a LBG/HBG? Very hard to go through the list of weapons. And what if you run out of ammo during the hunt? Have to use unlimited normal shot lv1?
Trust me you will never run out the ammo unless you wasting so much on what you shouldn't like Farming the normal monster while in boss quest.
Okay here the thing. To choose your LBG/HBG you must know the Boss type you fighting for. I give an example here,
For High Hunter Rank Equipment.
Rathalos or Rathian
- You can use Normal or Pierce ammo on them. Pellet can be too if you're lazy to aim.
- LBG you should use Wild Assault+ since this LBG give you Rapid Fire on Pierce lvl 1 and got moderate Recoil plus Fast reload and it's got 3/3/4 for Pierce Bullet which really help you.
- Skill to use is Earplug (HGE if can), Evade+1 / +2 and Pierce S UP (This is a must)
- Not-so-Hunter-Tactic to use. Lock and Shot (this is what I called it). It's a fast way but kinda coward since Ian or Los can't fight back and just wait to die til end due you abused Shock Traps with Flash Bombs. You can take them even at same place because I've tried last night dualing High HR Los & Ian. They still easily get killed in this way.
- Hunter-Tactic to use. By using Evade+2 and HGE, you will evade as much as you can. In this case Rapid Fire is not useful so much but still you can take them down fast with Adrenaline+2 (recomended for Advance HBG user) plus with Surival Skill.
Monoblos or Diablos
- Pellet is a must (credit goes to X) and some Crag for this guy
- LBG to use is Bullet Storm. Rapid Fire on Pellet lvl 1
- Skill to use is HGE, Evade+1/+2 and Pellet S UP
- Not-so-Hunter-Tactic to use. Dig and Shot (hahah name it again). With Pellet, you can force Los to come out from underground by spamming the pellet on the ground where they dig before they gore to you. They will forcely come out and you will have plenty time to spam the pellet on them. It's really easy way to kill them. You can abuse Shock Trap on them too but becareful when they're in Rage Mode. But again dont worry so much, Dig and Shot still work on them.
- Hunter-Tactic. Evade+2 is a because you want to roll away and shot them at the tail. Use your enviroment advantage if have.
- Remember Los always weak to Pellet and if you can aim at their head or TAIL. They will die fast.
Hope this help. I will go for HBG type weapon later on huhu.
