Capcom have released gameplay trailers for Monster Hunter Rise, showcasing the Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer, and Sword & Shield weapon types.
As previously reported, the new trailers not only show how the weapons battle against tooth and claw, each weapon also has a Silkbind Attack that grant bonuses depending on the silk used- such as buffs or special attacks. Capcom had previously released a trailer for the Great Sword weapon type, along with the Bow, Dual Blades, Long Sword, and Lance weapon types.
You can find the Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Hammer, and Sword & Shield weapon type trailers (and their rundowns via their video descriptions) below.
“Versatile combat at any range. The Light Bowgun excels at various roles, from rapid-fire barraging to inflicting status ailments, and supporting the hunting party.
‘Fanning Vault’ is a silkbind attack that vaults you into the air to rain down shots from above, reload, or even fire a Wyvernblast directly below.”
“Outstanding, overpowering ordnance. The Heavy Bowgun channels its weight into firepower, being able to load Wyvernheart or Wyvernsnipe ammo to cover any range or situation.
‘Free Silkbind Glide’ is a silkbind attack that allows for fast repositioning with multiple follow-up options.”
“Savage, smashing strength. The Hammer is a blunt force weapon that hits hard without giving up mobility. Smack enemies on the head to knock ’em down.
‘Spinning Bludgeon’ is a silkbind attack that unleashes a spinning attack that deals multiple hits while leaping forward. This attack can even be charged up!”
“Nimble, adept, and incredibly versatile. The Sword & Shield is a jack-of-all-trades capable of quick strikes and prompt evades. The shield serves a dual purpose of guarding and delivering bludgeoning damage.
‘Windmill’ is a silkbind attack that uses Ironsilk to swing the sword around for continuous damage, while also protecting the hunter during the initial swing.”
Monster Hunter Rise launches worldwide for Nintendo Switch, on March 26th, 2021. During the Capcom ransomware leaks however, alleged Capcom files claimed the game would head to Windows PC in October 2021.
