Notes:

This list includes weapons from Monster Hunter: World and the Iceborne Expansion. For a list with only the weapons in the base game (up to Rarity 8), see the Monster Hunter: World Switch Axe 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.
