Monster Hunter Rise players looking for mobility and long-range in combat may be wondering which Light Bowgun is the best. There are a variety of viable options for this weapon type and each excels in different scenarios.
Light Bowguns are powerful weapons that offer exceptional mobility, excel in long-range combat, and provide support by status afflictions. On the other hand, players who are not positioned at an ideal range with this weapon will deal low damage. Light Bowguns also run on ammo, so players will have to head back to their base when they run out.
Withstand the Rampage and gear up to save Kamura Village!

Monster Hunter Rise Best Light Bowgun
Although there are a variety of viable Light Bowguns, there is one weapon of this type that stands out. The Nargacuga Bowgun (Night Owl) is arguably the most powerful Light Bowgun in the game. Players with this weapon can use Piercing Lvl 2 while moving. The Night Owl also has a 100% critical chance, making it extremely potent.
To obtain this weapon, players will have to start by forging the Kamura Light Bowgun, which eventually upgrades to the Hidden Eye. After crafting Hidden Eye II, players will be able to forge the Night Owl.
Players looking to take the Night Owl into action can hunt monsters solo or with other players. This Light Bowgun should also come in handy for players looking to complete Village Key quests.
