In Monster Hunter Wilds, Every Weapon Has Its Own Unique Design - IGN First

Feb 26,25

Concerns about weapon design similarity in Monster Hunter Rise (Wilds is likely a typo) compared to Monster Hunter: World have been addressed by Director Yuya Tokuda. While World weapons shared a base design with variations based on materials, Tokuda confirmed that Rise's weapons boast unique designs.

This directly contrasts World's approach, where many weapon lines, even at their highest upgrade levels, retained significant visual similarities. The image below showcases this similarity in World's Aqua and Bone weapon sets.

In comparison, the Rise weapons showcased below demonstrate distinct and individual designs.
