Capcom is highlighting distinct weapon types in its upcoming game, set to launch next year. Following the intense reveal of the Nice Sword, the latest trailer focuses on the formidable Heavy Bowgun. While firing at a slightly slower rate than its equivalent, this weapon’s additional protective features make it an attractive option for those seeking a well-rounded and reliable long-range choice. Test it out beneath.
The Heavy Bowgun’s gauge depletes gradually as you hunt, accelerated by your success in landing shots on monsters. When that happens, it will likely transition into Ignition Mode and fire a specific type of ammunition until the meter is depleted. While auto-guard effectively deflects incoming attacks, it’s complemented by the strategic use of guided blocks.
The newly introduced Focus Mode enables the capture of explosive landing shots, dealing increased damage to wounded monsters after a short delay. A brand-new skill has been introduced, capable of firing a potent explosive projectile at close range. The Heavy Bowgun’s most distinctive feature is its cinematic charge attack, which enables users to thrust the barrel directly into a monster’s maw before unleashing a devastating barrage.
Is making its debut on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. While a brand-new trailer may be unveiled at Gamescom, attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with the game’s primary playable demo firsthand.
