Monster Hunter Wilds Gunlance is INSANE! - New Gunlance Moves Breakdown (2024)

"shelling recharges wyvernfire" Oh yeah fellas, our sharpness is f*cking cooked.

Yeah I'll admit it's 100% the 2nd best weapon starting with G

BRRRT BRRRT BRRRT!

I have a feeling that Rurikhan's channel will explode in popularity with the release of WILDS, attracting new members to the gunlance fellowship, and I'm all for it. As a great sword main, it seems that, at least for now, my secondary choice will be the GUNLANCE. Woop Woop!

Hey Ruri, did you hear that Attack Up boosts shelling damage now? From the Dootsticks to the Boomsticks, you're welcome 😂 if we get the Sharpness Regen song from Sunbreak thats a weapon duo that'd REALLY be cooking

Something to correct. The wyvern fire recharge is recovered by *any* hit not just shelling. This is in the official control guide and can be seen in your footage when slapping. It means we got the same mechanic as the other ranged weapons.

It's that time of day again where I have watched enough of the this demo my brain is just screaming "LET ME IN. LET. ME. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!"

I love you shouting out Caoslayer supporting other smaller gunlance channels

I like that you can see the sharpness as a single bar with the breakpoints, and the icon showing blade damage as you continue to decline.
Also each time you swipe the sharpening stone, you get a portion of your sharpness back. It seems like you might be able to sharpen quicker if your weapon is closer to full sharpness

I'm sitting in a conference room grinning like a madman at my phone. GL Mains, Shields up, rise up!!

I absolutely love that the quick reload animations are more natural and flow with the combo. Hopefully that means that mastery of the weapon will mean you're just slathering the monsters with shells and it'll look super badass.

The glow up for gunlance is simply staggering.

As for shelling types, it would be very interesting to have elemental shelling this time (unlikely but hey we can dream)

In other words, it's turned even more into "so anyway, I started blasting"

What an insane moment 7:50
Fending off 3 monsters then countering with a guard reload, Gunlance has finally been realized in its true form

RURUKHAN! GUNLANCE!

The Gunlance is looking sick! Maybe I should try to learn it, at the latest once Wilds comes out. Keep up the good work Ruri!

I love the damage numbers I'm seeing from wyvern fire. It's actually worth using, rather than being a dps loss like it was in world. Also helps that it looks like you get to use it much more often. This looks like it is hands down going to be the best iteration of gunlance.

One nice little touch... the seikret picking you up from the ground when it gets called after you're knocked down. Seeing them use their fore legs and scramble as well is so cute!!

Thank you, Gunlance-San. The Gunlance community shall now collectively groan at the time we have to wait to use it.

I can’t wait to play this. I love Gunlance.

Never tried out the gunlance but I definitely wanna test it out once Wilds releases. All the weapons are looking solid tbh

As a lance main I'm seriously thinking about bringing its swiss army variant on the chocobo.

I've dabbled with gunlance in most of the older games but the changes in Wilds look amazing, it seriously is making me want to main it. But then, so do lance, bow, SnS, charge blade, LS, and most of the others. It's going to be really hard to pick which weapons I want to prioritize. Good problem to have, I guess!

Ruri, don’t know if you noticed it but on Maximilian Dood video he shows that Gunlance can block almost instantly from animations.

I hope beyond hope that long and wide retain their niches from previous titles. I fell in love with the GL using Long in World, and I loved the inventiveness with stunning on Wide in Rise. Best of both worlds please, Capcom!!!

Picked up Gunlance recently. Absolutely loving it!

Funnily enough, I don't play gunlance, but the most interesting thing (or rather new thing) I saw was right at the end of the video you can begin shelling directly after a reload, shooting directly into the air. Seems like it'll be another nice option to attack flying monsters, without needing to do that advancing rising slash thing from older games to aim upwards.

TIME TO BOOMSTICK MY WAY THROUGH WILDS ONCE MORE
IT'S GLASS CANON GUNLANCE TIME WITH TWO WYVERNFIRES REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Gunlance mains eating good in Wilds man, genuinely excited to see how each weapon plays now.

so if I'm understanding it right, Power Clashes seem to work sort of like statuses? Build up as you block, then it procs, and monsters get resistance to it over repeated procs? If so, very nice. As someone that loves shields I'm absolutely loving how it is all looking so far.

Great vid! Thanks for the in-depth look. All the weapons look so good I don't know which to start with! Every weapon has a change that I've been wishing for

From what I’ve gathered, power clashes occur when you parry (perfect block) a specific monster move.
Similar to how monsters have attacks that will grapple the player, monsters in Wilds have (a) move(s) that will trigger the Power Clash when parried. Maybe it’s actually when you party the monster’s grapple attack, that would make sense to me but that part is speculation on my end.
If anyone can find footage of a player being grappled and cross reference that with footage of a player initiating a Power Clash with that same monster you’d be able to confirm whether it was the same move or not.

Jeez they REALLY snapped for gunlance. Feels like someone at Capcom went "THE AGE OF GUNLANCE IS HERE AND NOW, YOU HEATHENS." As a hh main who only started maining gl in Rise, this is making me so excited since now I can carry those two! The fact that hh also was given so much sauce and what straight up looks like the Dark Souls Channeler's dance makes me SO giddy!

I like how he ignore the dung pod and just went bam bam!

I was a little sad the first Wyrmstake Full Blast doesn't reload beforehand, because the idea of "Fullburst, Wyrmstake Full Blast, Multi Wyrmstake Full Blast, Wyvern's Fire" was rocking in my head
But damn, it still looks so cool. And I don't mind skipping FB to get those new combos together. And a SECOND CHARGE OF WYVERN'S FIRE *more* than makes up for it

After your interview with the devs, I’m looking forward to see how the Gunlance holds up. I’m curious to see how the shelling/scaling works.
It took me a few rewatches but I notice the shelling/wyvern fire is leaving flaming trails on the ground.

3:20
oof that wound placement... ouch

Netflix: are you still watching?
Somebody’s daughter: 3:20

3:20 PUT IT IN

the glow up the Gunlance gets in this game is beyond my expectations. They were low to begin with, but damn these changes is like jumping from medieval era way up to the information era in civ.

The new fullburst combo looks exceptionally more fun and engaging as a DPS tool than the slinger-fed wyrmstake blast from World. I am so freaking pumped to get this thing into my hunter's hands!!!

Its definitely the coolest weapon from what we've seen. You become Vergil with the longsword and the mounting finisher is so badass. It's going to be tripping your teammates even more than ever before.

As a Hammer main, I'm a little envious of the other weapons. They seem to have more new features... Hammer got a dash while holding charge and that's huge, I think the big bang combo has armor now, also dope. But idk if there are any new moves on top of that. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
On the other hand, Insect Glaive losing its bounce on the midair flurry attack is a freakin' war crime

Holy sht i'm late, watching rukhian showcasing gunlance is just like meeting with old friends. 👌

It honestly seems like the strongest weapon in the game. Longsword and Bow being next.

As a gunlance and bow player mostly, this whole game just feels extra good. I will be flowing with style

Damn it ruri I was already gonna play GL now I'm going to main it hard when wilds is out

3:19 you opened that guy a new A-hole lmao

GL definitely gonna be my secondary weapon for sure

I’m so glad they’re buffing guarding on weapons other than lance. Lots of guard points and parries are just what we needed. Excited for greatsword guarding to be useful too!

i love how fast the stakes are in Wilds, i always avoided using them because the thrust and then stake like 3 seconds after felt so slow and i'd miss 95% of the time

Literally the only thing i dislike about gunlance so far is how wide sweep is a diagonal uppercut now. I looooved the meaty swing in world, had so much weight to it.
Considering how petty of a thing that criticism is... gunlance shapes up to be the best its ever been ❤

Actually all weapons can power clash. Weapons without a blocking ability have to land an "offset attack" which collides with a monster's attack giving a small chance to power clash. It's not something that you want to try and do with the Insect Glaive but it can be done.

I just wanna fly around like in Rise..

Im totally keeping a CB and Gunlance as switch weapons in the game,both weapons look AMAZING

I'm gonna miss blast dash but man does gunlance look more fluid than ever. I need this game in my hands yesterday

caoslayer my goat, glad to see him get the recognition he deserves

3:23 I'm so disappointed, you were so close to a the money-shot there.

This redesign of the Gunlance looks so good I don't want to play the old one anymore. *insert dropping woody meme here*

🤔 interesting gunlancr looking good 😅 seems we eating good at wild
Thank you for info and have good days 🍻👍

Never has there been a better time to be a gunlance main.

Damn, I smiled and then he pointed it out. He knows

Wild gunlance looks...wild! I'm excited to see what they do with the best weapon.
But I have a lot of questions and potential concerns with it.
The gunlance's new moveset seems particularly suited for normal shelling. Which is entirely fine, of course, and looks fun.
But with the emphasis on full bursts, I can't help but wonder how wide and long will play. Will there be any changes to the moveset at large? Any changed or wyvernfire?

Here come the breakdowns! YES

Gunlance was my main in 3U but I have been playing other weapons for a while. I may have to get down and dirty with my old love the gunlance.

My wyrmstake is so primed rn im all shelled up in anticipation

Time for boom stick action!

Can't wait to rip and tear with Lance! Thanks for the great video as always Ruri!

Gun lance feels so appealing ! Will switch from GS to GL in wilds. As a GS player and gunner, i think it is time to merge those two passions !

Long shelling is gonna be interesting

I’m learning that I’m not as patient as I thought 😩

Now that I look at health bar and crazy warning effects, it's DEFINITELY confusing, you can't tell right away if your HP is full or not behind those huge red oscillations. I hope Capcom fixes this

Hey Ruri, I have a question for you if you don't mind.
While I know you didn't play all the weapons, you obviously have a better grasp of things than I do.
Which weapon is LEAST changed from World?
Meaning, if I we're to replay World right now, which weapon has the most crossover with what you've seen and played on Wilds so far?

Monster Hunter Wilds Gunlance actually feeling like a GUN

looking for the hidden cam in my room that Ruri sees me smiling from 🤣

Love it. Still going to main swaxe but gun lance looks like a great time.

Okay, that does it. My second weapon is going to be the gunlance. Better start watching your videos....

4:30 got me like :0

I dont think i have seen a part break yet i could be over looking something. lots of wounds being poped but no part breaks is that still a thing?

THE MANLANCE

I hope Tigrex is back specifically so I can do the clash finisher to it

I'm still convinced most people will steer clear because it still looks hella difficult lol that being said, it looks amazing and I can't wait

Honestly? Might be a gunlance main when wilds launches. Tweaked my current build to have way less sharpness consumption and probably gonna start really learning it.

This is a completely different weapon, feels like it finally stands on its own two feet with a crazy dynamic moveset. Hopefully they manage to avoid the problems of endgame builds becoming degenerate 1-move spam!

Shells don't decrease sharpness, recharge Wyvern Fire and SCALE WITH ATTACK.
If Artillery is back it's gonna be insane.
Artillery+AttackUp+HuntingHorn buffs...

Really curious as to what they will do with other shelling types. They always are better at something, but I don’t think they’ll be as cool as wyrmstake full blast combo with normal shells. Long shelling would do great with the new charged shelling system, but I don’t know where wide will fit in here. It used to be the premier way of shot poking or quickly spamming wyrmstake with two strong shots.
Also hoping they introduce elemental shells as well, just imagining a Rey Dau Railgun GL blasting lightning Wyvern fire shots.

Does it eat a lot of sharpness when you shell and wyvern fire? Does the sharpness depletes fast?

I'm a lance main, and I ALWAYS wanted to enjoy gunlance, but I never liked the slap-lance play style. The new tweaks they've done make me SO excited to play it!

Not a fan of normal shelling, so all I am seeing is a stuff that heavily buffed a playstyle I will never use.
The things I do like seem to be broader mechanics not Gunlance mechanics. Power Clashes being a blocking weapon only feature is nice as it gives something Lance and Gunlance can do to help be that tank. Weapon attacks while mounting is also nice.
The charged shelling unloading all shells I don't know how I feel. I think it might be good by giving long and wide faster gameplay but it feels like the change to gunlance is to make everything unload everything which is kinda eh. Like why have ammo counts if nearly everything just unloads all of it idk.
Still waiting to see if blast dash is removed or not because I feel that was a major boon for GL helping you keep up in the monsters face blocking and blasting. If that is gone given what I have seen (which again is just normal shelling my least favorite) I might have to main another weapon in the early game

idk if anyone will see this but what about the attack gunlance can do while riding seikrit? mounted attack not dismoint attack

Honestly a thing i do wonder is how like (likely endgame) hunts are gonna use the weapon swap mechanic, (like a soft alatreon sort of thing for weapon damage aka piercing, bludgeoning, slashing).
Like there are arleady some weapons that synergize togheter in skill decently enough, while others.. don't.
Hammer + Greatsword both use focus and "can" stun monsters.
While yhea i could bring two of the same weapon.. i'd have no reason to swap the weapon.
Like imo even if aerial glaive is likely gone it's gonna be one of the most used weapons merely for being able to hit spots that more low hitting weapons just can't + IG's best skills are either overall good skills like airborne or power prolonger WHICH is good on most other weapons.

I have a question for you to ask the team. Will weapons cont towards set bonuses? They probably won’t comment about it not until it the game gets closer to the release date and you might be able to get an answer if you asked this question.

I got a question, can any other attacks break wounds like focus attacks? or do you specifically need to use focus attacks to break wounds?

2:58 so the wywern fire breaks the wounds automatically?

That is it. GL it is

Thought it was Lance video.

It sounds like they're turbo-buffing Normal gunlances by letting you Full Burst twice in your normal combo and after a charged shell. I really wonder how Long and Wide are gonna be able to keep up with that.

Gunlance looks awesome in this game. But what I want to know is did anybody manage to record any hammer gameplay? That’s my main weapon and I would like to see more gameplay of it, I hope they didn’t nerf it.

That diagonal sweep full burst looks so sick
