Not even the most powerful weapons are safe from controversy. Despite the devastating strength of Artian weapons, many Monster Hunter Wilds players refuse to use them for one simple reason: they hate how they look.

These are special weapons that aren’t crafted from monster parts but rather relics obtained through the most difficult quests. Each one features a unique design, which can be modified to tweak its appearance or even boost its stats. This makes them some of the strongest weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds. But for some players, that’s not enough—because they think they look downright ugly.

“I really wish we could change the appearance of our weapons,” said one Reddit user. Another was even more blunt: “I’d rather use a slightly worse weapon than one that looks like complete garbage.” The original post, mocking the design of Artian weapons, has received over 14,000 upvotes and 1,200 replies. While not everyone dislikes their aesthetic, many players agree that Monster Hunter Wilds should allow weapon appearance customization, as seen in other RPGs and action games.

Thankfully, Capcom’s game offers a wide variety of combat options, meaning even players who choose seemingly weaker weapons can still be effective. Some of the most popular alternatives include Gore Magala weapons, known for their high damage output, or the Lala Barina weapons, which are easy to craft and inflict paralysis—one of the most effective status effects in the Monster Hunter universe.

Launched just a few days ago, Monster Hunter Wilds has already become one of 2025’s top-selling games, achieving record-breaking numbers for Capcom. But more than just raw sales, what truly matters is that the game has managed to win over fans, despite introducing several major changes. While some have criticized it for being easier than its predecessors, since its release, countless action RPG fans have been diving into its breathtaking hunts every day. With Capcom’s current roadmap for updates, this excitement is expected to last for months to come.
