TU3.5: Endgame Heavy Bowgun Meta & Progression

Updated for Title Update 3.5

Changes in TU3.5

• Udra Miremail γ allows for a better Elemental build using 3x AT and 2x Gore parts. Raw (spread) build remains the same.

Seregios' HBG, Insurrection Cannon, is still the best raw option thanks to its innate skills, outdamaging pierce by a large margin and keeping up with elemental in most matchups.

The recommended general-purpose ammo is now Spread, thanks to the Seregios HBG and the Spread buffs over the updates. Head over to the Pierce or Element tabs to see the other respective builds.

Spread playstyle

The Insurrection Cannon comes with Bladescale Reload and Evading Reload, which reload your ammo upon dodging, and loads higher damaging ammo if you dodge through a monster's attack. This enables a hit-and-dodge playstyle where you dodge after every bullet, focusing on dodging monster attacks to get the higher damaging ammo from Bladescale Reload.

Evade Window and Evasion Mantle are a must to increase survivability. Adrenaline Rush synergizes well with these and the overall playstyle.

We also slot in Second Wind I to keep Maximum Might on at all times. This should give you enough room to dodge after every spread shot. Remember that you can side-hop immediately after firing.
