Monster Hunter Wilds patch 1.021.00.00 is now live on all platforms, introducing 9-star monsters and randomized charms that throw more fuel on the fire of the grind. It's a pretty beefy endgame update, but I'm personally more interested in the raft of weapon balance changes that accompanied the new monsters.
For a few months now, I've been on a bit of a monster hunting sabbatical, opting to save up content to then burn through once Capcom gives us better versions of several weapons. We already got a great hammer rework, and now my two other mains, lance and great sword, have gotten significant changes in the new patch.
