I was running Charge Blade throughout the campaign of Sunbreak and I decided to pick up Insect Glaive once I hit MR6 last week. I love this damn weapon. You can play it on the ground or go into the air and target monster parts that are hard to reach otherwise.
Unfortunately there's a bit of a learning curve on which kinsect to use (I believe powder and assist are the preferred ones and dual color can speed up the harvesting process), where to aim for extracts on each monster and finding which combos/switch skills work best for you. Despite the initial complexity, it's my favorite weapon thus far (I've used every melee weapon other than switch axe but the bulk of my hunts are with hammer, dual blades and charge blade).
You could download an earlier version from before they were bought, it's what I'm doing. Still better than every other launcher I've tried. I'm also preventing it from accessing the internet via GrapheneOS settings, but I don't think every OS can do that.
