Patch notes for Monster Hunter Wilds‘ latest update are here, and some of the game’s least popular weapons are getting some welcome buffs.
Update 1.011.00 will arrive May 27 at 5:30 PM PT for all platforms, clocking in at 9 GB for PlayStation 5 players, 4 GB for Xbox Series X|S players, and 5 GB for those on Steam. While the star of the update is the previously announced Street Fighter 6 collaboration (which includes Akuma as an NPC, special quests, and new cosmetics), the patch also includes a number of balance changes to weapons.
Most notably, both the Light and Heavy Bowguns are receiving some substantial buffs, as are the Hammer and Hunting Horn. For the bowguns, various ammo types are seeing a damage increase, as well as an increase to the number of hits when using Dragon Ammo. There are other smaller adjustments too, with the only nerf to come out of the Bowgun changes being a decrease to Elemental Ammo damage.
