How to use the Bow in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Bow is a versatile ranged weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds. Not only is it one of the few weapons that allows you to attack from a distance, but the Bow also offers great evasive maneuvers and deadly pierce damage. Quick Shots are your default source of attacks and are great for starting fights, while Spread Shots work best when you target wider monsters with large bodies or wingspans.
