Heavy Bowgun Armor Sets

About this page

  • Armor set includes armors until TITLE UPDATE #2
  • Armor sets do not take in consideration skills inside of charms; only slots matter! As such, having god charms can make your armor set more powerful. Charm slot used are 3-2-0 OR 4-0-0.
  • ALL ARMORS SHOW HAVE NO QURIO SKILLS (even if the augment option may be unlock they DO NOT have skills.
  • Shown weapons are still not fully augmented; however augments are not taken in consideration for the creation of this builds.

COMPARED TO OTHER ARMOR SETS; FOR THE NATURE OF BOWGUNS; THOSE SET ACTUALLY INCLUDES WEAPON SLOTS.

Video of the sets


Shot Type

Normal: best for focused damage; overall consistent.
Pierce: best in damage and consistency if the target has several weakzones.
Spread: best in damage but inconsistent; requires to stay at close range.
Shrapnel: super consistent; barely requires aiming, however damage is lower than other physical option. Really good to destroy Qurio core.

Elemental / Elemental pierce: best if elemental hzv is 20 or more

Any explosive: good for support, requires restock in the end game as a "explosive only build" not suggested.

Slicing: no.

About elemental choices.

In order to keep up with monsters high HP values it is REQUIRED to use bowguns that both carries normal elemental shot AND piercing one; otherwise you will RUN OUT OF AMMO and you are forced to restock. Restocking IS A HUGE TIME LOSS and an exploit.

Charge Shot vs Crouch Shot

Crouch shot is more burst damage during opening; charge shot allows more power whenever the monster IS NOT in opening. Different usage, equally good, use both.
