Like to sit back and fire shots at giant monsters? This Monster Hunter Now Light Bowgun build is here to help. In this guide, I will recommend the best Light Bowguns to use, and the equipment to go along with it. That will include individual equipment pieces, as well as full armour sets. I’ll also update this guide alongside new updates, including when new Light Bowguns or equipment arrives.

Monster Hunter Now takes the Pokémon GO formula and applies it to the Monster Hunter series. You wander around your real world neighbourhood, seeking monsters to fight. You then beat them, loot their corpses for materials, and craft weapons and armour out of them.

If you’d like to check it out, you can grab Monster Hunter Now on Google Play. I’ve also put together a Monster Hunter Now Sword and Shield build, Monster Hunter Now Hammer build, and Monster Hunter Now Great Sword build.

Monster Hunter Now Light Bowgun

Now, let’s take a look at this Monster Hunter Now Light Bowgun build, including the best weapons, equipment, and armour sets to use.

Monster Hunter Now Best Light Bowguns

These are what I consider to be the best Light Bowguns and why.

Lightning Blitz

Lightning Blitz is a terrific weapon to use against enemies with a weakness to Thunder. It trades raw attack potential for improved Special Attacks, dealing solid damage. However, the real draw is Evade Extender, which synergises well with the Sneak Attack Equipment Skill.

  • Attack: 1,293
  • Element: Thunder
  • Special: 910
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Equipment Skill: Evade Extender

Jyura Bullet

This is the Water version of the Lightning Blitz, and it’s the final form of the Madness Rifle. It trades raw attack damage for improved Special Attack. You also get Last Stand, which boosts your defence as your HP drops. This can help you finish up a difficult battle.

  • Attack: 1,293
  • Element: Water
  • Special: 910
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Equipment Skill: Last Stand

Anja Buster

The Fire variant. The Anja Buster increases your damage as the hunt timer ticks down to a close, so it’s well worth using against the more challenging monsters who have a weakness to fire.

  • Attack: 1,293
  • Element: Fire
  • Special: 910
  • Affinity: 0%
  • Equipment Skill: Rising Tide
