The almighty sleek and sexy yet powerful and diverse Bow is really something to behold in Monster Hunter World Iceborne. The element versatile weapon will surely have you checking your hunter’s notes for each monster to make sure the appropriate element damage bow is equipped to match your target’s elemental weakness. This guide will move you in the right direction to keep you carting less and carving more.
