Notes:

This list only includes weapons within the base game of Monster Hunter: World. For an expanded list with Iceborne weapons (Rarity 9 and above), see the Iceborne Great Sword Weapon Tree. Weapon Names in italics can be crafted from the Forge Weapons menu. Weapon Names in bold are the final upgrade(s) to that Weapon Tree. Weapon Names with an underline cannot be rolled back to a previous version if there is one. Click on the Weapon's Name for more detailed information about the Weapon. When a value under the heading "Special" is in parentheses, this is the value of the Element/Ailment when the Armor Skill "Free Elem/Ammo Up" is in effect. Sharpness: See full-width bar for original sharpness level. The half-width bar represents your weapon's sharpness in conjunction with the Handicraft skill (if applicable).
