MHR Weapons are divided into fourteen types, each with special requirements and a unique move-set, complete with strengths and weaknesses.

Choosing a Weapon in MHR
When choosing a Weapon, it is important to consider its Damage Type and/or Status Effect to take advantage of a Monster's weaknesses.
- Raw (Physical) Damage from Weapons is dealt as one of three types: Cutting (Sever), Blunt, and Ammo, while Elemental Damage has five types: Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, and Dragon.
- Status Effects do not directly deal damage, but rather build up effects including Poison, Stun, Paralysis, Sleep, and Blast.
- Monsters' resistance to Raw and Elemental Damage will vary by body part, while resistance to Status Effects vary by Monster.
Additionally, keep in mind that wielding a Blademaster (melee) Weapon will reduce Physical Damage taken, while ranged Weapons will reduce Elemental Damage taken.
- See Monsters or the in-game Monster Field Guide for more information.
- See Damage Types and Status Effects for details.
