Mastering the Light Bowgun in Monster Hunter Now: Best Build Guide



Welcome, fellow MHnow gamers! In today's guide, we're unveiling the ultimate build for the Light Bowgun weapon in Monster Hunter Now. 

If you're looking for a versatile and beginner-friendly weapon that allows you to deal damage from a safe distance, the Light Bowgun is your best bet. With the right gear and tactics, you'll be a force to be reckoned with. 

Let's dive into the details and uncover the secrets of the Light Bowgun!

I. The Light Bowgun Overview:

The Light Bowgun is known for its user-friendly nature, offering a ranged approach to combat. It's perfect for players who want to minimize health potion usage and prefer to stay out of harm's way. The weapon boasts a variety of different ammos, each with its unique characteristics. While you'll need to aim accurately and manage your reloads, the benefits outweigh the learning curve. As we delve into the best build, you'll see how this weapon can become a powerhouse in your arsenal.

II. Customizing Your Gear:

The key to maximizing the Light Bowgun's potential lies in selecting the right gear. We'll break down the essential pieces you need to eliminate two main drawbacks: recoil and reload times.

a. Kataki Helmet:

Equipment Skill: Reload Speed Buff

Upgrade to level 3: Greatly reduces reload time

Upgrade to level 6: Artful Dodger - Makes perfect evades significantly easier

b. Palumu Mail:

Equipment Skill: Recoil Down

Upgrade to level 3: Slightly reduces bow gun recoil

c. Legend Gloves (or Palumu Gloves as an alternative):

Equipment Skills: Concentration (increases special gauge fill rate)

Upgrade to level 4: Divine Blessing (chance to reduce damage taken by 50%)

d. Engine F Coil (or Lumu Coil for alternative Divine Blessing):

Equipment Skill: Fire Resistance

Upgrade to level 6: Special Boost - Increases damage of special skills

e. Baroth Greaves:

Equipment Skills: Recoil Down

Upgrade to level 4: Defense Boost

While these gear pieces might require some progression, they're worth the effort. If you're a new player, look for early-game gear sets that offer elemental bonuses matching your target monster's weaknesses.

III. Choosing the Right Weapon:

In Monster Hunter Now, it's crucial to use the Light Bowgun with the appropriate elemental type that matches your target monster's weakness. If you're uncertain, opt for a high-attack weapon without an element, such as the one with the highest attack value. Adapt your weapon choice to your current hunting needs.

With this optimal Light Bowgun build, you'll be well-equipped to tackle any challenge in Monster Hunter Now. Remember that gear progression will take time, so use early-game sets while you work toward these advanced equipment pieces. 

May your hunts be successful and your gameplay enjoyable. Stay safe, stay happy, and we'll see you in the next adventure. 

Peace!
