Concerns about weapon design similarity in Monster Hunter Rise (Wilds is likely a typo) have been addressed by Director Yuya Tokuda. Unlike Monster Hunter: World, where weapon appearances were primarily customized based on monster materials, Monster Hunter Rise features uniquely designed weapons.
Tokuda stated that while Monster Hunter: World weapons retained a base form with variations based on materials, Monster Hunter Rise weapons boast distinct individual designs. This addresses fan concerns about the repetitive nature of some Monster Hunter: World weapon designs, particularly at higher upgrade levels. The image below illustrates this similarity in Monster Hunter: World's final Aqua and Bone weapon lines.
In contrast, the slideshow below showcases the diverse and unique weapon designs present in Monster Hunter Rise.
