Rampage weapons are one of the exciting new features that come with the arrival of Monster Hunter Rise, but what do they do? And are they even decent?
With the addition of rampage weapons also come new skills that can be given to every weapon, these are called rampage skills. Rampage skills require slots to be equipped and what makes rampage weapons special is the fact that they have five slots for skills.
Additionally, they can be equipped with all skills— this is a feat limited only to rampage weapons. Available skills include the ability to choose any element for your weapon, this makes all rampage weapons pretty versatile.
To obtain any rampage weapon, you must play through all Apex rampages repeatedly until you earn enough materials. You may also wait until HR 100 to be able to hunt Apex monsters in isolation.
