Bows can use an 'arrow rain', which deals impact damage, but has a large delay between shot and impact.

Bows also now have a radius area that indicates where arrow rain will land.

It has the stamina-reducing effect, similar to that of the Exhaust Shot used by Bowguns.

The Bow also gains a new, bluish bottle.

Light Bowguns now use backhops and sidesteps instead of rolling.

However, the hunter is unable to move in that position. These specific Ammo types can be fired rapidly, and the amount of ammo that the Bowgun can hold will be greatly increased.

When using Heavy Bowgun, the player can now kneel down and then choose from specific ammo-types in their inventory.

The Switch Axe also gains a new Phial, a Stamina Reducing Phial which is blue in colour.

When using the Switch Axe, the infinite side swings attack can now follow on from the upswing it also gains a new Poison Phial, which is purple in color.

This seems to use up all the currently loaded shells at once, as in the trailer there are 3 simultaneously explosions in the attack. The featured new attack where the hunter cocks the Gunlance, slams downwards and fires.

Gunlance has changed significantly adding new attacks as seen in the trailer.It's back to the Light and Heavy Bowguns only. Great Sword, Long Sword, Sword & Shield, Dual Swords, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Lance, Gunlance, Switch Axe, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, Bow. 12 weapons in total, including the Switch Axe from Monster Hunter 3.
