Gaijin, if my gunlance doesn't scream like that when I burst or wyvern fire, I will sue. So friggin great, many thanks for the tutorial!

You forgot to mention that after doing a slam you can press X+A to combo a wyvern fire instead of finishing the full burst

LOL, the screaming scared the shit out of me at first.

Seltas Helm X Kaiser Mail X Agnaktor Vambraces X Seltas Waist X Vangis greaves X +5 handicraft +4 artillery (+4 minimal handicraft 2 slots for same effect) He gemmed in for evasion +1 instead of guard. but assuming you have a handicraft +4 (3 slots ideal) charm. 3 artillery gems in charm, 3 in legs, 1 in vambraces. Guard +3 gems in everything else. This will give you: Razor Sharp Sharpness +1 Artillery God Guard +2 To compare. He put +3 evade into arms, body, helm, and weapon instead of guard to give himself evasion +1 he also put artillery +2 into his weapon because his charm did not have enough artillery (needed 2 more).

That goat scream during the wyvern's fire almost made me crap myself laughing

I avidly use the GL in 3U and outside of the new stuff implemented in 4U I can safely say that I learned something new. Your guides are the best I've seen on the Monster Hunter series. Keep it up! :)

I never knew about the aerial shot into an attack in the air 0_o Aerial gunlance confirmed! (will play with this :P)

I know that this video is older, but I decided to get back into MH4U with Generations coming out soon and went back to my old main, the Gunlance. I was watching I noticed you left out a useful combo for massive damage to monsters that are stuck in place. After the Full Burst on normal or long you can hold x+a and execute a wyvernfire in that same combo.

Gaijin, you nailed it. I was especially looking forward to this one, and it's great, exactly what I was hoping it would be. Keep up the awesome work, man!

Really really impressed with the effort u put in the video and notes u did beforehand! Subscribed bro!

I would like to add the fact that combos of X after X+A puts you directly into guarding position. Since I'm a Guard Gunlancer, I feel the need to share that...

well guy, you've earned yourself at least 1 new sub with these amazing guides! I've really enjoyed them and hope you make more.

Thank you, again, for your great videos. You increase my enjoyment of this game dramatically!

I really love your tutorials. I hope you will cover all the weapons. keep up this excellent work !

so what about that scream?

your videos and tumblr thingy guides have been a gospel for me learning thus game. thanks dude!

I started playing, but I really enjoy the lance watching you inspired me. I don't see many lancers online I hope to get the hang of it you made it look so easy! Subscribed!

Let me just say right here that these guides are absolutely amazing, and very interesting even to veteran players like myself. Thank you very much.

Ok this video really helped me with Gunlances and I thank you for that but what the hell was up with the screaming goat during the shots?

thank you for making all of these great tutorials

This was actually a great tutorial. I'm a new hunter and like the gunlance best, so it's really cool to see ways to boost my play.

I can't wait for a Dual Blade guide (if you make one) to see how much my main weapon has changed. I hear there are a couple changes to stuff like demon mode. Speaking of demon mode, wouldn't it be the sweetest shit if the purple and red aura that surrounds you during demon mode formed into horns, wings, and a tail? Even if they were small, that would be the coolest shit ever.

The scream after every burst. Such win. I'm new at playing the Gunlance and this guide is friggin awesome! (I main IG, sub CB) I find Gunlance somewhat fun and quirky. :) Thanks!

Thx a lot man, was looking foward to a gunlance guide.

Thx for the tutorial so many cool weapons its hard to decide

wow, what a incredible tutorial, I learn a lot... thanks dude :-D Im a proud Gunlancer hunter and now I will practice all what I have learned from you

I just got MH4 in the us, this was an awesome tutorial, thanks.

i love the screaming noise! and btw, great tutorial. its really going to help me. thank you 😁

always love these my friend keep it going

So, what's interesting is I loved using the hammer, but I think I'm gonna main gunlance, and these tutorials have helped immensely with that. I've actually been thinking of making these weapon "cheat sheets" i guess, mostly based off the guides, with written button-to-action guides, combos and strategies for said weapons.

gaijin hunter Hey Gaijin! just wanted to congratulate you for your spike in views and subs, your an amazing hunter with a lot of good knowledge, your rare in terms of you tubers. i remember watching your videos when they are less then 100 views, right there i could see it in your content that you were under appreciated. keep it up man! i hope all this sharing and liking I've been doing is helping out

nice evading, and nice guide. one thing though; you forgot to include the X+A jump attack from sheathed and the forward X jump attack which both do a jumping slam. it also leads to full burst and the forward X jump attack even reloads one shell.

My favorite weapon, thanks for video!

I see you know about the charge scoop to shell interrupt, but forgot to mention it in the video. Also to note, Wyvern Fire can be combed into after both a lance slam as well as the 3rd upwards thrust (you'll get no visual indicator for this, so the timing is fairly easy to mess up), which means that you can go into a Wyvern Fire very easily whenever you see your chance in a combo.

The R-Forward-A attack seems like such a little thing, but it really made GunLance A HELL of a lot more fun to play with. Just, being able to rush in and do a shell attack on a monster that your stabs would bounce off of, or to punish a roar after guarding it with a charged shell. It's great.

loved this tutorial really helped me out thanks

Also you can combo from slam to Wyvern Fire, although i am not sure it would really add up to dps.

The little screams are hilarious, please do more of those. *snort*

Something to know that isn't showcased is that after a Lance Slam, instead of a Full Burst, if you press X+A then Wyvern's Fire is used. Handy to combo into sometimes.

Question: Are the bombs by themselves powerful when used on monsters that are awake? Appreciate the tutorials videos btw! Plan on using every weapon type.

The numbers you use when talking about each attack, is that the percentage of attack power each attack does? Also not mentioned was the ability to use wyvern's fire after a slam instead of the burst fire by pressing X+A, and also after the upswing and two upward pokes the same way. Second may not be particularly useful in most instances but a nice trick to know, but after the slam is especially good with a long shot type GL.

Great video as always Gaijin-san, Berioth here, just subscribed.

That scream at 0:21 ran chills down my spine, I alt f4ed the my webbrowser.. I then selected past that point.. didnt hear the sound again and silently freaked out in my living room.

Since Ala was delayed to TBD for Iceborne and I ran out of stuff to do in that game (just grinding Guiding lands but I can do that any time) I'm going to start a fresh save in MH4U, the game where finally I found my true main weapon: Gunlance. Watching this before starting my new save

What the hell is that scream at 9:20 or so? It makes my sides hurt from laughing :D Great tutorials, subscribed in hopes of more MH content in future!

Thanks a lot for the guides, and I have a question: in mh4u, is it easy to see whether you have hit a big monster with your shell or not? like, are there any new (or better) visual indication for that? I'm currently practicing on mh3p, and sometimes I'm not really sure that I hit with my shell or not, because there was no flame effect on the monster (even though it should be in the shell's range). I've been shelling as close as possible to make sure that it won't miss, but that's not stylish (and not efficient imo) :( So...looking forward to your answer! ^_^

That was a pretty great tutorial. Although I'd like to know how efficient it is to chain into wyvrn fire after a slam by pressing X+A vs just doing it when the opening presents itself.

Awesome guide! Would it be possible to do the Bow Next?

Hermoso tuto, gracias mi compa

I came across a write up on your weapon reviews for mh4u but cant seem to find it anymore lol. I was just curious how all the weapons line up to one another damage wise? yes i know depends on skill gear etc, but generally well geared and well played equally how do the line up? LOVE the look of gunlances and would like to see just how far down the list of damage they are haha.

I played once with GL in Arena because there wasn't much else to take. And I didn't realize that this weapon have so much combos. I did not really like it because you're slow and you can't roll but I guess I can give it a try seeing how "complex" this weapon can become

That scream bro lols for days! BTW Idk cuz it's not in U.S. yet but on 3U after Lance slam you can do the wavering fire as well. Hope it's still in lol it was a good flurry for a trapped monster ^ω^

I thought I learned everything about gunlance from playing for a while, I didn't know about "charged shots" though, I only knew about the stab + stab + slam + shoot combo, wyvern's fire and the main stabbing attacks

You forgot to mention that you can do the wyvern fire after the overhead GL slam by holding R + X+ A right after the slam, other than that it's a great tutorial, good job !

That scream cracks me up always

One jumping attack that was missed in this: If you're jumping with your weapon sheathed (dashing off a ledge, jumping off a wall, etc.) hit R+X+A and you'll unsheathe straight into a slamming jump attack, which you can then follow up with burst fire as soon as you land.

"I had to get used to the gunlances large and slow 3rd hit" Generations: I'm about to ruin this whole man's lancing career.

I think you forgot to mention you can combo into a Wyvern's fire after the slam instead of a burst too. Great Guide though! I like how you explained shelling I was always flustered by the number charts.

Just a note: Spread shot has been translated as Wide shot, at least in the PAL version of MH4U.

Heh... time to master a new weapon. Thanks for the tutorial!

You should do a series of these for each weapon and put it up on kickstarter or patreon. Take my money!

Also after multi shot, you can follow up with wyvern fire.

That wyvern fire is so funny woth the scream XD

Dunno if anyone mentioned it cause it wasn't in the video but after a slam or burst you can combo into wyvern fire.

Hey what do you personally prefer, lance or gunlance? And have you made a pros and cons video comparing the two? Thanks dude.

Love that GL is still slow but awesome the demo is great for trying out all the stuff, gotta get good before the final game launches!

didn't you forget to mention you can combo into wyvern fire after a slam?

Because of this vid I wanna call the wyvern fire the goatscream of doom

I really like the Gunlance and the idea behind it. Even tho i am not really good with it yet. Whats actually better playing GL with blocking or dodging? I cant get used to the dodging with the GL it feels awkward and i mess it up almost 99% of the time. But blocking seems to be terrible in multiplayer games. I often get hit out of my blocking stance from my "comrades" and take a large hit by the boss as a result. Do i have to learn dodging for multiplayer games?

Been wanting to get back into the weapon that got me through the bits of G rank I had to solo in MH3U, And I'm glad to find I can be a lot better at it lol. Best I knew back then was Tank'n Spank, Normal GL's had good slam bursts and Long Gl's had the best wyvernfire. Beyond that I used it like a gimped lance with the occasional explosion. No better time to improve like the present

I first started using the gunlance when I compared it to RWBY. beast.

I'm not sure if they changed it but you can reload after any evade in 3U, so if you dont want to backhop you can just sidestep

These are great, please do a bow video!! Thank you!

I think GL needs a jumping attack, just like rocket jump but shell jump

One specific note that I think was missed? (Or I'm blind) You can cancel the 'running thrust' into a running shell by pressing A during the run. So forward + X -> A is a shell instead of a thrust. This does NOT cancel into the air shell attack however.

like the normal lance does the gunlance have the pierce attribute in it's strikes? where it selects impact/cut based on each hit for maximum damage on each part you hit?

I think we can all agree the Gore Magala gunlance is the best looking weapon in the entire game.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the long shot have an bonus on normal shots and wyvern fire? And you forgot to mention that you can fire the Wyvern Fire after the ground slam

I remember back in mhfu, I used a gunlance for most of low rank until I hit Khezu urgent quest. One of my favourite moves was to wait for the monster to sleep, place LBBs all over his head, then use wyvern’s fire on the bombs to set them off. It almost always killed them immediately, or it only took one hit after that. Good times.

I have no experience with this weapon. Thanks for the guide. Can't way to try out the GL.

dude, can i have directions to the source of the "Shell Scream"? That stuff is amazing.

that screaming goat is my ringtone for text, thanks alot...,

I know this wasn't mentioned in the video, but you can't use shells when sharpness drop below yellow (red/orange). Just to throw it out there.

Gaijin hunter! on the Gunlance you can do a slam jump attack as well, great for mounting. If you just Do the forward X or Draw X off a ledge.

My biggest hurdle to getting along with the gunlance is mobility. Unlike the greatsword, where you constantly sheath and unsheathe, there's much more unsheathed time with the gunlance. So with monsters like Nyrscylla, who are constantly moving in and out of range, it's more difficult for me to land combos. Fighting Zinogre with gunlance is real fun, though.

Hello gaijin - I don't know if it has been pointed out to you or not but the Gunlance has a "second" draw attack. While running if you press X+A you will immediately go into a block and stop moving. It's not a traditional draw attack, and it's a normal feature of the gunlance, but you can now access it from a full run which I think is a change in MH4U. Not entirely sure on if it truly is a change or not, but you didn't point it out in your tutorial and it might be helpful to others to know you can do that from a full run.

Ok, need to find a way to mod that scream in during every wyvernfire

I could have sworn that the gunlance had an upward angled wyvernfire in Unite and 3U. It is done by forward X then RXA. Has it been removed or am I mistaken?

Super interested in learning this weapon but I've been a DS main so the transfer of mobility is gonna be tough

Wait.. that scream.. Is that from the weapon or a sound effect? If it's the former, I'll be crafting that weapon ASAP!

Hey, I have a question about the shell damage chart. Are the numbers listed a set damage or are they similar to motion values?

The GL looks like a fun weapon, but as a guard lancer I'm gonna miss the counterstrike. Will MH4U ever be released for anything other than 3ds? I ask because I'm not all too adept with mobile devices in the case of MH.

u probably already been told this: you can wyvern fire after lance slam, and if you use the running thrust (forward + X) off an edge you quick reload + air attack. Gunlance has 3 jump attacks which is pretty neat.

gaijin hunter I have a question: which Wyvern's Fire will do more damage? 1) A Wide shot gunlance with the Artillery +3, or 2) A Long shot gunlance (of the same level) with Artillery +2 Even though a Long shot gunlance has the strongest Wyvern's Fire, will the Wide shot gunlance do more damage if it has Artillery +3? One more thing: how would this compare to a Normal shot gunlance with Artillery +3 doing its Full Burst? Thanks! :)

you forgot to mention in the video, the Gunlance shield is stronger than the Lance shield, allowing you to tank attacks that would flinch a normal lance user without guard skills, you also take less damage when guarding attacks. Also Normal shelling is short range, Long shelling shoots the farthest away from you in a straight line, and Wide shelling is a very wide shot, reaches longer than Normal. The same applies to Wyvern Fire.

Hi ! may i know what is the best equipment amour for gunlance ? so it can block all kind of attacks ? =)

So if I'm using a Normal shelling GL and the monster is stunned/trapped, is better to shot 2/3 full burst instead of a single Wyvern Fire?

That was helpful thanks.

Huh, heard a few friends say multiple hits got the bonus as long as they were simultaneous. Is there too much of a delay on Wyvern Fire to do that?

Probably someone else already said this, but: The 3x dmg on sleeping monster occurs only if it's afflicted by the "Sleep" status, not if they go to sleep on their own.
