A third batch of weapon trailers have come in from Capcom for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, this time detailing the Charge Blade, Bow, and Gunlance weapons. The Charge Blade gains a new stance that blends sword and axe mode together, whilst the Bow gains a new ability that increases damage if the same spot is hit repeatedly. Finally, the Gunlance gets a new, close range ability that unleashes all of its ammo at once for massive damage.
