What are your favourite, insane weapons in video games?

GamersFTW want to hear from you: what are your favourite completely insane video game weapons? That doesn't necessarily mean the best; they may actually be borderline useless. What GamersFTW mean are the weapons that you’ve wielded in a game that just make you cackle like a madman whenever you unleash them.

thundergun in treyarchs zombies mode. also, I cant remember the name of it; but, the gun that made enemies disco dance in ratchet and clank.

Groovitron! Probably my favorite weapons belong to Ratchet & Clank games. My avatar can prove it, lol.

[nucky64]

thanks for that! I could have googled, but I'm sure people knew what I was talking about - kind of a useless weapon; but, so much fun!!

CONFERENCE CALL - BORDERLANDS 2.

[DarkOcelet]

Hypervelocity or The Gunblade in Parasite Eve 2. That game was perfect.

HandCannon in Dead Space 2 was crazy too.

[NoctisPendragon]

Excalibur in Phantasy Star Portable 2 , a blade of blue wind wich becomes solid right before hiting .

[Crimzon]

Unreal Tournament's shock rifle was crazy. Loved firing shock balls and then detonating them to gib people. Very creative weapon that rewarded player skill.

The redeemer was also hilarious fun given that you could manually pilot it around levels and chase people down. I think some mods/mutators even let you ride that thing?!

The gravity hammer in Halo had me laughing to tears the first time I played Halo 3 multiplayer and whacked an enemy player riding that little quadbike thing.

The quake weapon in Wipeout HD was awesome as well, really satisfying to watch the track deform ahead of you as you blow everyone away. Doubly so if you're in the lead and quickly flip your ship 180 to fire that at everyone behind you.

The Cerebral Bore from Turok 2.

[Dasteru]

Damn, you beat me to it. The Buzzsaw in FC4 was a blast also. Great for HB hunting. Damn, now i'm stuck with the though of a mod that adds the Cerebral Bore to FC4. Imagine shooting it at a HB right as it goes up on its hind legs to harrass you.

[Kal853]

Though not that insane, my favorite was Mirabelle, the gun you can get as a reward for beating Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard in Jade Empire. If you maxed out your Focus it was a devastatingly powerful weapon.

[Yukes]

Agree Skizelli - it's on the list already :)
@nucky64 The disco gun very nearly made the list!

[Skizelli]

Ha, so it is. I guess it would help if I actually read it. Glad to see it on there. :)

[Kal853]

Does anyone else remember this awesome game back in the day where you competed in a tank demolition derby, and one of pickups was a nuke that would level the whole battlefield? I remember really loving the animation for it. This was 64 bit or earlier. If anyone knows the name of the game please let me know.

[Dark_king]

Was it this game?

[Kal853]

Thanks, but no. It was much more cartoonish than that. There were pickups everywhere ala Twisted Metal,and many more tanks on the field. And all the tanks had names I think. If you picked up the nuke it leveled everything and the round was over. I think it was for the Sega Genesis.

[Dark_king]

I see thought it might be it because it does have a nuke but I don't think the round ends.

The Dubstep Gun from Saint's Row had me a the first 'wub'! Great fun!

If I had to go with something a bit more practical, I would definitely go with the Moonlight Sword from many of "From Software" games. I think it's great how we go from wielding it in a giant mech to wielding as a greatsword in Dark Souls.

Mr. Toots from Red Faction was hilarious and well worth the scrap!

[Halo2ODST2]

Nuclear bunkerbuster - Mercenaries

[Kal853]

Yes! That was a lot of fun.

[joab777]

Prisoner of the moment, Bloodborne does have some crazy weapons, especially the Kirkhammer and Logarious wheel.

Prisoner of the moment, Bloodborne does have some crazy weapons, especially the Kirkhammer and Logarious wheel. My favorite is the threaded cane.

[Kal853]

Also, Bayonetta's hair.

[yess]

Dual wielding Bubble gun (Air blaster) Just Cause 2.

Fuel Air Bomb Mercenaries 1..

[Dark_king]

Lightning Gun from Warhawk was one I thought was pretty insane.When I first started I thought it sucked I kept charging it to use it.Then I started using pro flight and found out how to really use it.

And always thought the Moonraker Laser in Golden Eye was pretty crazy back in the day. "Hiding behind that door are you well guess what BAM not anymore"

[joel01]

Has anyone here played Bulletstorm and Dark Sector ? ..they are so underrated.. the laser whip from Bulletstorm and the Glaive from Dark Sector were two of the most fun weapons I have ever seen in a game.

[Bathyj]

Laptop gun Perfect dark
Cerebral bore Turok 2
Poison rice Tenchu

[MasterCornholio]

Um

Shark Gun?

[isarai]

Flechette gun in Turok evolution and the shotgun from FEAR 1, freakin orgasmic braj

[WellyUK]

The My little pony gun from Red Faction Armageddon lol

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Tactical Blade Plus from the first Monster Hunter, the Dog power-up Rise Of the Triad, Big Boner from Shadows Of the Damned from and the Vital Suits from Lost Planet.

[Devy]

The Ripper from Unreal Tournament. Gotta be a complete madman to shoot bouncing razor blades in a close quarter environment... or pretty much any weapon from Bulletstorm :)
