Ever wanted to bring monsters down with a volley of artillery fire? Well, the Heavy Bowgun might just be for you.
The Heavy Bowgun is one of only three ranged weapons in Monster Hunter Rise. What separates it from the other ranged weapons is its lack of nonsense.
While others may dip and dodge the monster, kiting it over and over again, the Heavy Bowgun prides itself in standing in place and unloading a barrage of bullets. Think Rambo shooting down a helicopter; that could be you, shooting down a Rathalos.
Well, sounds appealing, doesn’t it? But don’t jump in just yet! Before you shoot, first you need a gun. Lucky for you, this is a list of the five BEST Heavy Bowguns in Monster Hunter Rise!
