The Light Bowgun is a light, mobile gun that fires many kinds of ammo while you stay on the move.

How it plays

It's quick to aim, quick to reload and can use a wide range of ammo, from normal shots to elemental and status ammo.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, every weapon can also use Focus Mode to aim attacks at wounds, and Focus Strikes to hit those wounds hard. You can carry a second weapon on your Seikret and swap between them in the field.

Who it suits

Hunters who want a flexible ranged weapon that keeps them mobile.
