Capcom has officially revealed the top 20 community-designed weapons for Monster Hunter Wilds, and fans can now vote for their favorites. Continuing the tradition that brought us the fan-favorite Wyvern Ignition in Monster Hunter: World, this contest lets the community pick one weapon and one pendant that will make it into the game.\
The voting phase is now live on Capcom’s website, requiring only a Capcom ID to participate. While this isn’t new endgame content, it’s a fun way for players to help shape the look and feel of the final release—and several designs are already going viral.
Fan Favorites and Voting Details
Each voter gets to select one weapon and one pendant. While most weapon types are represented among the 20 finalists, there’s a noticeable lack of bow and bowgun entries, which is disappointing for ranged weapon fans. Still, the final lineup includes plenty of variety—from gothic glaives to cake-themed hammers and celestial swords.
Let’s break down the notable finalists:
-
Nettle Jell’s Sting: A translucent lance themed around endemic life, with swaying tentacles.
-
Ghost-themed Insect Glaive: Featuring a lantern that shows extract types and a ghostly Kinsect.
-
Sailor Moon-style Charge Blade: Radiant star effects and potential wing bursts make this magical weapon a standout.
-
Frost Engrave Blade: A frosty chainsaw charge blade with an embedded gem and animated switching effects.
-
Nature’s Tranquility: A hunting horn with crate creatures that move while playing.
-
Kinsect Delight: Lantern-themed glaive that attracts endemic life and comes in alternate color variants.

Missing Entries and Overlap Concerns (Monster Hunter Wilds)
Some popular entries circulating on social media didn’t make the final list, which surprised many fans. Additionally, several weapon types appear more than once (e.g., hunting horn and insect glaive), while others are completely unrepresented.
A bit more diversity in weapon types would have been appreciated—especially for ranged users and bow fans. Still, it’s hard to deny the creativity and artistry behind every finalist.Final Thoughts and Top Picks
With voting now live, we’re eager to see which designs make it into Monster Hunter Wilds. Our top picks? The Shrine Diva Hunting Horn for its incredible animation potential and unique audio theme, and the Shatter Seal Greatsword, which could become the next Wyvern Ignition thanks to its striking mirror-shatter effect.
For pendants, while not covered here in detail, we loved the meme-worthy Crate Bag and the stylish Wild Explorers Pendant—both highlight the creative freedom allowed in this contest.
