Gun Lance FAQ

Game: Monster Hunter Freedom 2
Created by: Capcom
Hey, back again for another Gunlance FAQ. I'm finished updating
the old one, so this one will be more of an expansion of that one.
I will now add strategies and armor combos, in addition to what I
already had in the first guide. Keep reading...I guarantee this will
be the only Gunlance FAQ you will ever need.

ABOUT THE GUN LANCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BASICS
The Gunlance is a very unique weapon. It's like a lance, but
as the name suggests, it can do various melee attacks, shoot bullets,
or shoot a charged shot. There are three types of GL bullets. Normal,
Spread, and Long. Each GL uses ONE type of ammo. There are also
five charge levels. Once again, each GL can only use ONE level.
EX. The Hell Sting uses Spread with a charge level of 1. Oh, and here's
something that use should remember: shooting decreases sharpness.
CONTROLS

Forward stab- triangle while stadning still
Forward uppercut- triangle while moving

BEST OF THE BEST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's right, a Gunlance competition. I will compare all
of the fully upgraded Gunlances to determine which is the best
Gunlance. In addition to that, I'll determine the best of the
elemental gunlances, and which has the highest raw attack.
FULLY UPGRADED
Time to compare all of the fully upgraded Gunlances. I will have
a short summary and a score out of 5 for each GL. The score will
be underneath the summary.
Desert Stinger
Att: 736
Cost: 115,000 z
Bullet Type: Normal lv.4
Critical: -20%
Max Sharpness: White
Element: None
Slots: 0
It's got great raw, but the negative critical drops it's value.
It also lost the Ice element when it transferred over to Brown
Blango materials. To sum it up: it's good, but there are better
raw GLs out there.
4.25
Triple Crown
Att: 506
Cost:105,000 z
Bullet Type: Normal lv.4
Critical: 0%
Max Sharpness: Blue
Element: Poison/400
Slots: 3
Good all around GL. Decent attack, poison, sharpness, shot level,
and 3 slots. However, this is also it's biggest flaw. It's just not that great.
It's nice, but it's not GREAT.
4
Venom De Parfum
Att: 644
Cost: 130,000 z
Bullet Type: Long lv.4
Critical: 0%
Max Sharpness: White
Element: Poison/240
Slots: 1
This GL is basically an improvement upon the Triple Crown, with the
exception of poison. It's got better attack and sharpness, and it has a
stronger shot type. It's lower amount of poison isn't enough to drop
it's score.
4.5
Devout End
Att: 575
Cost: 125,000 z
Bullet Type: Long lv.4
Critical: 0%
Max Sharpness: White
Element: Dragon/370
Slots: 2
It's almost sad to see the once great Gun Chariot get an upgrade that
isn't as powerful as it could be. It's not horrible, mind you, but it could
be better. It's still great for Akantor runs, however.
4.5
Luna's Soleil
Att: 575
Cost: 130,000 z
Bullet Type: Spread lv.4
Critical: 0%
Max Sharpness: White
Element: Fire/500
Slots: 0
Return of the Khezu Blender! It's not the best Fire Gunlance out there,
but it's worth the trouble. Other than that, there's not much to say about
it. A good all around Fire Gunlance.
4.75
Black Gore Buster
Att: 690
Cost: 115,000 z
Bullet Type: Long lv.4
Critical: 0%
Max Sharpness: White
Element: Defense +10
Slots: 1
This GL is a vast improvement from it's previous form, the Black Gore
Cannon. It's lost the negative critical, and gained more power, a stronger
charge, and more sharpness. A great raw Gunlance, though there are stronger
ones.
4.25
Blizzard Gunlance
Att: 437
Cost: 40,000 z
Bullet type: Normal lv.3
Critical: 0%
Max Sharpness: Blue
Element: Ice/150
Slots: 0
I'm surprised that this one didn't get an upgrade, seeing as how the Blango
Gunlance loses it's element after being upgraded to the Desert Sting. It's just
not worth it, so make something else.

FAQ
~~~
Well....yeah. This is an FAQ...I guess...(Yes, some of these are
CP'd from the other FAQ, but they do get asked a lot, so whatever)
Q: Where do I find <insert item>
A: I dunno. This is a Gunlance FAQ. I don't know that much about
item locations, carves, etc.
Q: Why did it take you so long to reply to my email?
A: I have a life. I only check my email every other day.
I'm sure you can wait one frikkin' day for my response.
Q: Some of the names are wrong...why?
A: I translated the names of the weapons.
Q: "lol u sux! lern how to mak a faq! LOL!"
A: Good, now keep it to your yourself, because no one cares about you
or your inability to type in English
Q: Are you Akubarix?
A: NO! For the love of God NO!
Q: Are gunlances better than lances?
A: NO. In some cases they are, but in others, they're not.
Q: If you're not Akubarix and you're not an Akubarix fanboy, why is your
name "Akurixs"?
A: It goes like this:
A-1
K-11
U-22
R-19
I-9
X-25
S-20
1+11+22+20+25-19+9= 69
Yup.
