There is a whole new weapon tree called Antique Machina added to the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, which is available for every weapon, and it is only available at Rarity 10. It was an aesthetic that had everyone’s fingers crossed.
For those who don’t know, they come from a new tree that appears for each kind of weapon in Sunbreak and can be found here. Some of these Antique Machina weapons feature a minor bit of status attack for their melee weapon versions—usually, sleep, but some also contain blast and poison—as well as an old-school look. Of course, there are variants for long-range weaponry as well.
Every single weapon type of this tree is made solely from afflicted monster materials. For more on this: How to get Antique Machina Weapons.
Each Antique Machina weapon in MH Rise Sunbreak has differences like statuses, elements, rampage decoration, slot sizes, and more. However, all of these weapons are among the top contenders in their weapons type and so they aren’t bad. But as I previously said they are among the top and not at the top, so there are better weapons than these.
14 Antique Machina Weapons in MH Rise Sunbreak
Here is the list of the best Antique Machina Weapons:
Antique Machina Great Sword (GS)
The Antique Machina Great Sword is a decent weapon to use with not-so-bad stats. However, the style is where this weapon doesn’t compromise. The huge sword does damage and makes you look stylish as well.
Antique Machina Great Sword Stats:
- Base Attack: 320
- Element: Fire Blast 45
- Level 3 Rampage Decoration Slot
Antique Machina Long Sword (LS)
Antique Machina Long Sword is a beautiful sword that everyone would want to have in real life. It looks like a sword that a samurai wanted to be made using green emerald.
You would definitely need to sharpen the sword even though it has a fair bit of purple sharpness because it is faster. For the Monster Hunters that usually like to use Sleep this sword has 18 Sleep Element.
Another unique thing about Antique Machina Long Sword is that as you level up your spirit gauge the metallic sharp end of the blade will change colors accordingly. The sharp end reflects the spirit levels.
Antique Machina Long Sword Stats:
- Base Attack: 320
- Element: Sleep 18
- Level 2 Rampage Slot
Antique Machina Sword and Shield (SS)
Antique Machina Sword and Shield is among the most favorites among players solely because of its looks. The level 1 decoration slot holds this sword back by quite a noteworthy amount.
When you draw the sword, the shield will expand to cover more parts and defend you. Other than the aesthetic this is not a recommended weapon to use. It even has lesser sleep than the Long Sword.
Antique Machina Sword and Shield Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Element: Sleep 16
- Level 1 Decoration Slot
Antique Machina Dual Blades (DB)
Dual Blades are another decent Antique Machina that you should use in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. The specialty of this weapon is its Elements. Unlike the previously mentioned, Dual Blades have two Elements Fire Blast and Poison Ice.
Dual Blades are unique and similar to hand glaves. Another unique feature of these blades is the change in their color when you enter demon mode.
Antique Machina Dual Blades Stats:
- Base Attack: 310
- Elements: Fire Blast 25 and Ice Poison 25
- Level 3 Decoration Slot
Antique Machina Lance (L)
The status is lower than standard ones but because of its speed, the sleep will have to happen anyway. The Antique Machina Lance is one of the coolest weapons on this list no matter if you are not a fan of Lances.
Along with the Lance, you do get a huge beautiful shield which can easily be overlooked because it isn’t mentioned as often as other shields.
Antique Machina Lance Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Elements: Sleep 13
- Level 2 Rampage Decoration Slot
Antique Machina Gun Lance (GL)
Antique Machina Gun Lance should have been great but for its rarity level, it isn’t. The other Rarity option in its Rarity class (10) the Antique Machina Gun Lance has a level 7 Shelling whereas others have level 8 which is a tremendous difference.
Antique Machina Gun Lance isn’t bad but it has been outdone by other Gun Lances in its Rarity level.
Antique Machina Gun Lance Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Elements: Sleep 16
- Level 2 Rampage Decoration Slot
- Shelling Type: Normal
- Shelling Level: 7
Antique Machina Hammer (H)
Antique Machina Hammer is more of an ax visually but with a hammer’s move set. As such weapon types are underrated the Antique Machina Hammer turns it around and gives Monster Hunter fans a whole separate playstyle.
Antique Machina Hammer Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Elements: Ice Poison 17
- Level 2 Rampage Slot
Antique Machina Hunting Horn (HH)
The Antique Machina Hunting Horn has 15 Sleep Element which is superb considering that MH Rise Sunbreak has a better wake-up attack for a hunting horn than ever before. This weapon is absolutely beautiful.
However, the song’s list of Antique Machina Hunting Horn isn’t great. The Sharpness Loss Reduced effect is great but there are better options for Sharpness retention and the remaining two songs are low tier which is kind of sad for such a beautiful weapon.
Antique Machina Hunting Horn Stats:
- Base Attack: 310
- Elements: Sleep 15
- Level 2 Rampage Decoration Slot
- Melody Effects: Tremors Negated, Knockbacks Negated, Sharpness Loss Reduced
Antique Machina Switch Axe (SA)
Antique Machina Switch Axe is a unique weapon equipped with a Poison Phial which is the fastest charging Phial for a Switch Axe. However, in MH Rise Sunbreak you can enter the amp state fairly easily which removes most of the need for a Poison Phial Switch Axe.
The Antique Machina Switch Axe undergoes mass visual changes after transforming the weapon to sword mode. The transformation of this weapon is better than many other weapons because of its shape.
Antique Machina Hunting Horn Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Elements: None
- Phial Type: Ice Poison 13
- Level 2 Decoration Slot
Antique Machina Charge Blade (CB)
In Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak the Antique Machina Charge Blade leans towards the elemental side of files due to some changes. Because of this the Charge blade results in this being a bit lower on the list of good weapons for a Charge Blade than most Antique Machina weapons for their type.
The Charge Blade does have a shield and when transformed it turns into an ax. The transformed state is beautiful and befitting.
Antique Machina Charge Blade Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Elements: Sleep 13
- Phial Type: Impact Phial
- Level 2 Rampage Decoration Slot
Antique Machina Insect Glaive (IG)
The Antique Machina Insect Glaive isn’t a bad weapon when looking at its stats but it also isn’t the top level. The design of this weapon isn’t too complex but the back half of the Glaive is interesting.
Antique Machina Insect Glaive Stats:
- Base Attack: 330
- Elements: Sleep 11
- Phial Type: Impact Phial
- Level 2 Rampage Decoration Slot
- Kinsect Level: 14
