This is the recommended best equipment for the Heavy Bowgun with the Artian weapon, optimized for Pierce Ammo. Since Pierce Ammo can only shoot 2 rounds by default, make sure to get at least Capacity Boost x2. In addition to Pierce Ammo, it can also fire Paralysis Ammo Lv2, providing crowd control capabilities in multiplayer. The Sheath Jewel slot is flexible, so you can replace it with something like Medicine Jewel 1 without any issues.
