The Monster Hunter series is considered by many to be one of the best action-adventure franchises around. However, its limited availability on gaming platforms coupled with the high barrier to entry turned off many fans from experiencing this glorious series. This changed with Monster Hunter: World, which is widely considered by many players to be the best entry in the series by a country mile.
The game is full to the brim with stunning locales, incredible combat, and a great community that actually banded together to help new players get into the series. It's truly a wonderful title that deserves all its plaudits, and PC players can utilize the added benefits for mods to improve this experience even further. Weapons are one particular aspect that modders have tweaked to kingdom come, with the best weapon mods of the bunch being mentioned below.
10 Fate Stay Night X MHW
The Fate series features some of the most royal and memorable weapon designs around. Having the opportunity to use these weapons within Monster Hunter: World is bound to be a treat.
This is precisely what players can accomplish with the Fate Stay Night X MHW mod. It changes the look of the Long Sword, Great Sword, and Charge Axe to Saber's iconic Excalibur, and the Dual Blade to Ganjiang and Mo Ye.
9 Bow Charged Shot & Great Sword Effects Enhanced
Ranged combat in Monster Hunter: World is a blast, as players can down powerful foes with a few choice shots. Charging up a shot with the bow feels extremely powerful... although the effects could be improved.
This mod makes a bow's charged shot feel all the more impactful. It also enhances the effects of the Great Sword to make it even more satisfying to use in combat.
8 Project Two-Bee
Nier: Automata came out of nowhere and shot to the very top of the gaming popularity charts. It cemented Yoko Taro as a genius video game developer, and fans have carried his work over to Monster Hunter: World as well.
The Project Two-Bee mod lets player become 2B, protagonist of Nier: Automata, while also using her iconic swords. It's a great combination of both games, and makes Monster Hunter: World feel pretty unique.
7 Godly Iron Weapons
While Monster Hunter: World has been balanced with great care, there are times when players just want to wail on enemies without a care in the world. With the Godly Iron Weapons mod, this dream becomes a reality.
Players can now use iron weapons to hit enemies for absolutely massive damage. At the risk of trivializing the combat in the game, players can select certain tiers of this mod that govern the total increase in damage that these weapons enjoy.
6 Thunder & Wind Long Sword & Bow
Sometimes, players want their weapons to be as flashy as possible, regardless of the utility brought about by these effects. This mod helps accomplish exactly that.
Long Swords and Bows end up getting unique thunderous effects that make them look positively dazzling when used in combat. Just keep in mind that the damage done by these weapons is unchanged, in case the end result feels somewhat underwhelming.
5 Scythe Long Sword
While the Long Sword is a pretty great weapon to use in the game, there are times when its look can feel rather boring. Thankfully, with this particular mod, players can use this weapon without feeling dragged down by how boring it used to look.
This is because the mod, as stated in the title, turns the Long Sword into a cool-looking scythe. It makes for a great weapon that players will have a lot of fun using in the game.
4 No More Slap On Weapons
For the most part, weapons that players receive in the game end up being minor upgrades or reskins at best. It gets the job done, but Monster Hunter's esteemed legacy means that the game had a lot of old and trusted designs to use instead.
The No More Slap On Weapons mod takes care of this issue for most players. It replaces these shoehorned weapons with unique ones every single time. The best part is that it uses weapon designs from past games, which is bound to be a treat for long-time fans of the series.
3 Mortal Blade From Sekiro
Getting the Mortal Blade is one of the best moments in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Fans of the game who want to use the same weapon in Monster Hunter: World are in luck — a modder has already come to the rescue.
This mod lets players wield Sekiro's Mortal Blade in the game, which is pretty nifty! It replaces the Divine Slasher in Monster Hunter: World and looks absolutely breathtaking when players are slicing and dicing monsters.
2 Rapid Fire Everything
As mentioned before, balance might be a great thing in combat, but can limit the overall fun that players can have in the game. This is especially true for those who have seen everything there is to see in Monster Hunter: World and want to enjoy a fresh and unique experience.
The Rapid Fire Everything mod definitely doesn't disappoint in this regard. True to its name, all Bowguns and Cannons in the game now fire at an incredibly high rate and can absolutely destroy most foes with ease.
1 FF15 Weapon Pack 1
Final Fantasy 15 might be a mixed bag of a video game, but it has its fair share of cool weapons that are an absolute blast to use. With this mod, the weapons from the game can be brought over to Monster Hunter: World!
These weapons replaced the Great Sword, Sword & Shield, Charge Axe, and Hammer in the game. Witnessing the legendary Final Fantasy 15 weapons in Monster Hunter: World is a great sight that makes any PC player glad they're playing the game on this platform.
Monster Hunter: World was released on January 26, 2018, and is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
