Top 25 Most Awesome Game Weapons

Videogame weapons, whether they're completely realistic and true to their real life counterparts or bizarre future alien technology, they can really make a game. This list isn't about the best weapon, the most impressive, the most visceral or bad-ass weapon. No this is about weapons that define the game, the weapons that pop into your head at the very mention of the game. In many ways I've limited myself, while Turok 2's Cerebral Bore is a lot of fun is it iconic? Honestly to me it's just a green mass of gibbed lizard creatures when I think about Turok, so it's not in the list.

DJexs5517d ago

definitely a good one.

side note
Why do they always list the buster as clouds its angeals after I played cc I liked him a little less because of the fact that most of his past was present as a lie. Zack fair however is the man.

mal_tez925517d ago

I mean crobar? seriously? It doesn't function any differently to any other meleee weapon.

And no Ratchet and Clank or Resistance weapons = instant failure.

Cheeseknight285517d ago

I appreciate some of them, like the Portal Gun but... where is Ratchet and Clank and Perfect Dark?

Inside_out5517d ago (Edited 5517d ago )

....Lancer and Torque bow...chainsaw a guy into little pieces OR hit him with a Torque bow, watch him run, detonate and watch his head pop off and go straight up in the air 25ft....Gears 2 flamethrower and other boomer weapons....

Turok evolution ( last gen ) had some insane weapons...bow with grenade attached...double loaded shotgun, plasma rifle, poison arrow made the enemy puke and die...heck, all the weapons were awesome in that game...

GRAW 2...Redstorm did the multi-player side of things...it showed...every weapon handles differently...so realistic...PS3 got a bad port of this game...

MW2 has some great guns...heartbeat sensor is awesome...

Splinter cell Conviction...awesome guns especially the pistol with the 4 mark n execute upgrade....

KZ2...main gun as well as flamethrower were deadly....

Half life 2 gravity gun, pistol and crow bar...

ODST...pistol and sub-machine gun....incredible precision...

COD WAW flamethrower...burn those guy's out of the tree's never got old...

Halo...all weapons were a blast...

Red faction...all weapons....

Deadspace...crazy weapons in that game...

ico925516d ago

um wheres the Cerebral Bore from Turok 2 ? wheres the Laptop Sentry Gun from Perfect Dark?

Alcon Caper5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

No Awesome Guns list is complete without it. I mean, c'mon, the land shark gun?

also the holo duke from duke 3d is awesome

jeseth5516d ago

Golden Gun : Goldeneye

Sniper Rifle & Flamethrower : KZ2

Just about any weapon !!! : Ratchet & Clank

bruddahmanmatt5516d ago

Guy is an idiot for not including the Cerebral Bore. I don't care what his excuse is, that thing was EPIC. The Farsight from PD also should have been on the list, NOT an honorable mention. And as someone else already pointed out, the Golden Gun from Goldeneye is one everybody references whenever you're playing "one hit kill" mode in any game. Finally, no Ratchet and Clank, no deal. The Groovitron easily tops some of the crappy weapons on this list.

Hideo_Kojima5516d ago

Had a hand held nuclear rocket launcher that took out half the map.

First time I shot that I saw how huge the explosion was and the shock wave hit me after a second and kill me too.

I was gobsmacked :P

Danteh5516d ago

Meh...

1. Master Sword
2. Buster Sword
3. Blades of Athena
4. Ebony & Ivory
5. Red Shell (:D)

Where is Unreal Tournament's Redeemer?

foxxy5517d ago

My favorite zodiac spear.

AmericanPsycho235517d ago (Edited 5517d ago )

I would have to say one of my favorite weapons would have to be the Zombies from the Resident Evil Series. Or Scorpions Spear

Most players 'know next to nothing about how games are made': New Blood devs sound off

It's now easier than ever to make "broad incorrect assumptions" about how games work.

jambola2d ago

how? how is it easier than ever?

thorstein2d ago

"... to make broad incorrect assumptions" about how games work.

jambola2d ago

yes
when i said "how is it easier" i was referring to the thing that was called easier
congrats

--Onilink--2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

People parroting AI responses without actually knowing about the subject to be able to tell if its accurate or within context

Constant rise of media/youtubers chasing negativity as it generates more views

Continued increase of independent “media” that rarely seems to care about fact checking or context (linked to point above)

More and more people using said youtubers/streamers/tik tokers as their news/opinion consumption and then just repeating everything (even more so when dealing with streamers that basically seem to have cults for a fanbase)

Making up fake news, information, files, etc and making them viral being easier than ever thanks to AI and social media explosion of provocative topics

I mean… it shouldn’t really need that much explaining why he is right in saying its easier than ever, all those same points right now apply to pretty much every topic out there, not just games

ravens521d 16h ago

I'm just gonna say, the PS YouTubers that I watch don't do that. You want to know what YouTubers do, do that? One guess. You got it 😅

Armaggedon2d ago

Because people can just say random crap and get upvoted. It reinforces them to think what they say has validity.

neutralgamer19922d ago

Stop releasing broken games that need 6-12 months of patches/updates and while waiting for those patches/updates if gamers complain we are lecturer by game developers and community managers on how we don't understand how hard development is. First of all we are gamers we don't need to understand we are paying money to play a game and at the very least we expect a working product

Games cost 80 now and in few years will be 90 and within 10 years will be $100. So is it really asking for a lot to say please release games when they are in a stable playable state? Release now fix it later, release it now get some criticism but later when we will fix it gamers will praise us and call us great and our game sales will rise again. It's the same cycle. Just look at cyberpunk 2077 and how developers hid the actual console footage and reviews were using footage provided by CDPR and gamers were mad and now many of those same gamers praise CDPR for the job well done. This is why gaming is where it is today and developers know they can release unfinished games

thorstein2d ago

Who do you think chooses the release date? The in the chair developer or their "I've never played a video game and never coded one" CEOs?

neutralgamer19922d ago

For as much as we blame the CEO's we shouldn't be so naive to always guce free pass to high ups in the studios. Concord developers are prime example of that, Sony didn't need to force them they were make dumb decisions as is

You do know when a game makes back it's development costs there are 6 to 7 figure bonuses /royalties

Stwert2d ago

It would be awesome if every game made had no major issues and didn’t require any patches from day one. Unfortunately, with the complexity of [most] games these days, that’s an unrealistic expectation.
There’s not a dev out there who wouldn’t like more time to work on their baby. But, outside of self-published, they’re not the ones who are setting a release date. Eventually the bean counters, sitting in their luxurious offices, decide that enough time and money has been spent creating the product and its high time they started to see a return on their investment.

Arguing with these people that you need another 12 to 18 months to iron out some of the problems gets you precisely nowhere. They don't give a damn about the developers, or the games really, that care about one thing and one thing only. Profit!
Telling them that releasing a game which isn’t fully finished and will affect the profit margin by association of a poor product also gets you nowhere, they simply say ship it, then fix it.

There are exceptions to the rule of course, as there always is, but those are fewer and far between these days.

neutralgamer19922d ago

Sadly what you are saying is true too. Gaming has become too big to where now those who have zero interest want to invest in it

Ashunderfire861d 19h ago

I agree and that’s why accountability is key. Of course game development is a lot that requires a village to get it done, but all us gamers want is a finish product that works, so we can keep coming back for more via sequels. And when it comes to retail the customer is always right.

It’s bad when the game developers develop unnecessary things like too much microtransactions, from an already $80 plus game, when we just want the finish product, not too many paywall from one $80 - $100 game!

franwex2d ago

Most drivers don’t know how cars are made, but still expect the car to be good quality and reliable.

Armaggedon2d ago

The thing is that when you dont understand something, the judgement of quality becomes affected. People will see a giant open world game with infinite variables and say “why is this buggy?” The one who understands will say “it has to be buggy, thats the trade-off.”

franwex2d ago

Most gamers understand that. Bethesda essentially build their games that way. What we don’t understand is, you can buy the car now at full price and the wheels will arrive in a few months-like many games tend to be.

I’m using the car industry as an example, but they are just as bad sometimes. Such as paying for features that are already included in the car. Oh, you want sports mode? Pay more! It’s the same engine and transmission! It’s just a mode that is locked away.

MDTunkown2d ago

There no excuse for oblivion remaster to be so bugged

Armaggedon2d ago

@franwex

Maybe you do, but alot of them dont understand. I see the discourse around it constantly.

@MDTUNKOWN

Apply this to yourself next time you f up. Or better yet, feel free to go and develop a bethesda style game. Tell me how that works out.

MDTunkown1d 10h ago

Armageddon, oblivion remaster is not a new game, its remaster of almost 20 year old game and the game has fps issues on a ps5 pro. Because of guys like you, devs think they can release unfinished products and now also increase the price.

It doesn't matter. I don't know how a good risotto is made, but I know when it tastes like sh$%.

Armaggedon2d ago

Dont underestimate how much more there is to things. Understanding is key.

anast1d 14h ago

It is impossible to understand everything in today's modern world, but despite this we can still say a product is sh$% while not understanding the process. If we are not allowed to do this, we would be forced suck up any sh%& people give us and say it's good because, "we don't understand the process". This is the height of stupidity.

Cockney1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Why do we need to understand anything? I'm a consumer i dont care how its made or what it takes to make a game, i buy it if I think it looks good this just sounds like victimhood 101
If this games turns out to be shit do we give them a pass because reasons?

Armaggedon1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

@anast
Just because you can do a thing, doesnt mean you should. If a person does not like a game, fine. But people cast a domain expansion so large with their opinion, it starts to effect others adversely. Just because a game is crap for one, doesnt mean thats the case for everyone, and that is something many dont….understand….

@cockney

You need to understand because it makes things better…including for yourself. If you understand the true nature of why a game does not resonate with you, if you understand that its not objectively bad just because it doesn’t resonate with you, it can make your own experiences better. It will definitely make things better for other people because they have a habit of acting based upon the opinions of others. If people had an opinion from a place of understanding, more people will be able to make better informed decisions. Understanding will definitely help the devs. They wont be left in a confused stupor as to what happened that caused such unnecessary outrage against their hard worked game *Cough cough dragon age
Lack of mastery will come back and bite you in the rear end, when you have no games to play because vitriolic feedback broke all of the pillars holding up gaming.
