Rampage weapons are one of the exciting new features that come with the arrival of Monster Hunter Rise, but what do they do? And are they even decent?

With the addition of rampage weapons also come new skills that can be given to every weapon, these are called rampage skills. Rampage skills require slots to be equipped and what makes rampage weapons special is the fact that they have five slots for skills. 

Additionally, they can be equipped with all skills— this is a feat limited only to rampage weapons. Available skills include the ability to choose any element for your weapon, this makes all rampage weapons pretty versatile.

To obtain any rampage weapon, you must play through all Apex rampages repeatedly until you earn enough materials. You may also wait until HR 100 to be able to hunt Apex monsters in isolation.

 

10. Rampage L. Bowgun S

It must be stressed that the value of a rampage weapon lies in how it places in the meta of its respective weapon type. 

So… how does this weapon place? Not well, but not bad either. 

There are only so many weapon types, meaning that being top ten doesn't mean much.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 190
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Recoil: Average

What makes the Abyssal Gale Barrage so great:

  • Decent damage.
 

9. Rampage Blade S

Ninth on the list we have one of the most popular longswords in the game, for very unorthodox reasons.

The Rampage S Blade is the best weapon on this list for fashion purposes. That’s right, fashion. This sword can be matched with any armor you want by layering it. This process allows the Rampage S Blade to mimic the look of any sword.

Although it is indeed very fashionable, the Rampage S Blade also possesses a high base attack. However, there are much better options out there for longsword users.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: low blue

What makes the Rampage Blade S so great:

  • High base attack.
  • Fashionable.
 

8. Rampage Glaive S

Although it has exactly similar numbers and upsides as the previous three on this list, what places this weapon higher on the list is its performance concerning the meta.

The Rampage Glaive S is a bit higher in terms of meta, but like the previous three, there are better options out there.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: Low blue

What makes the Rampage Glaive S so great:

  • High base attack.
  • Fashionable.
  • More of the same.
 

7. Rampage Agitato S

Concerning other options for the Hunting Horn, the Rampage Agitato S is a good choice. 

Meta-wise, it isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely in there as a niche choice. That’s more than can be said about those that come before it.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: Low blue

What makes the Rampage Agitato S so great:

  • High raw damage.
  • Good meta choice.
 

6. Rampage Gunlance S

 The Rampage Gunlance S boasts a great amount of raw attack, as with all rampage weapons. 

Is it meta? Definitely. Some calculations are required and it is required to build around this weapon, but it provides an optimized build.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: Low blue

What makes the Rampage Gunlance S so great:

  • High attack stat.
  • Great placement within the meta.
 

5. Rampage C. Blade S

 The rampage charge blade is a solid entry on this list. It has an attack stat ranging above the 200 mark and is just generally good all around.

When compared against meta builds the Rampage C. Blade S certainly has a place in the meta as a niche status applying build.

Like the previous entry, this can be layered with any weapon to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: Low blue

What makes the Rampage C. Blade S so great:

  • High base attack.
  • Niche status build.
  • Can be layered.
 

4. Rampage Twinblades S

Although stats don’t differ at all from the previous entries, the Rampage Twinblade S has a great spot within the dual-blades meta.

Don’t be fooled though, this weapon isn’t exactly OP, per se, but pair with fire elemental damage and you’ve got yourself a reliable burner.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: Low blue

What makes the Rampage Twinblades S so great:

  • High attack stat.
  • Great placement within the meta.
 

3. Rampage H. Bowgun S     

 First, and foremost, the Rampage H. Bowgun S allows you the most versatility of all the heavy bowguns in the meta. 

This is also the first rampage weapon on this list that tops its meta.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Recoil: Average
  • Special Ammo: Wyvernsnipe

What makes the Rampage H. Bowgun S so great:

  • High damage.
  • Incredibly versatile.
 

2. Rampage Slicer S

The rampage slicer S may have the same stats as every other melee rampage weapon, but superior skill options bump it up to a 230-base attack.

At the end of it, all you need to know about this bad boy is that it is one of the defining meta builds for the switch axe.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Sharpness: Low blue

What makes the Rampage Slicer S so great:

  • Great skills.
  • Excellent damage.
 

1. Rampage Bow S

Rampage Bow S can not only use every single element type, but it also out damages most elemental bows whilst simultaneously having AMAZING raw damage.

On top of that amazing feat, Rampage Bow S also belongs to the rapid class of bows. Rapid-type bows are easily the most consistent damage-dealing bow type and are usually considered the best bow type.

The only downside to the Rampage Bow S is that you will need to craft a duplicate for every elemental type you want. This means you are going to need a lot of Rampage Bows.

Weapon Stats:

  • Attack: 210
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Element Damage: Yes

What makes the Rampage Bow S so great:

  • Can use ANY element.
  • ABSURD raw damage.
