Gunlance: A Comprehensive Guide to the Unique Weapon

Unveiling the Versatile Gunlance

The Gunlance, fondly known as GL, is a formidable weapon in the Monster Hunter series. Its unique combination of blade and gun makes it a versatile choice for both melee and ranged combat. Featuring a piercing weapon at its core, the Gunlance's true strength lies in its ability to discharge powerful shells.

Mastering the Art of Gunlancing

Gunlance playstyles vary based on shelling type. Players can focus on bladework, shelling, or a combination of both. The unique Guard Reload technique allows quick reloading after guarding attacks, reminiscent of Valor Gunlances in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

However, the transition from blademaster to gunner requires careful consideration, as certain weapon skills become unavailable. Mastering the Gunlance requires practice and a keen understanding of its mechanics.
