What are some of the most devastating weapons in gaming history?

[GuilewasNK]

I have to say the Farsight from Perfect Dark ranks near the top. X-Ray capabilites, some tracking ability, can shoot through walls, and kill in one shot.

[Ledhed]

I've always wanted to ask Guile. What does your name mean?

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

colt 45 or python or whatever its name is in vice city killed in one shot too

i think goldengun from goldeneye wins the trophy

[SneakyPenguin]

The WEAPONs in FF7 were pretty nasty, but if you mean usuable, the Soul Edge, and of course, the BFG 9000.

Really, if it has the name of "Big Fucking Gun", it's gonna be powerful.

[GuilewasNK]

I've always wanted to ask Guile. What does your name mean?

I was in a Quake clan called NK (nefarious killers). So I went by...

Guile*NK*

When it died I changed it to "Guile was NK" because I was in NK . That way people who used to be in the clan could still remember me if I run into them online and they have different clans or names.

[bignick]

The %127 J-Sword from Phantasy Star Online. Actually, and hacked weapon from PSO was awesome.

[chenzan]

I enjoyed the laptop turret gun in Perfect Dark for the N64. Its one of my favorites of all the FPS ever. Oh and speaking of FPS, the AWP in counterstrike hold a special place in my heart.

[SupremeNumNuts]

I think its called the railgun its from Red Faction. It could shoot through walls and heat sensor thing that let you see people through walls.

[smalien1]

The big nuke thing with the camera attached in Unreal...


THE REDEEMER, i think

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

yeah, the redeemer is a sweet mini nuke

[GuilewasNK]

Yeah the Laptop Gun was cool as hell.

Atma Weapon from Final Fantasy III dealt all kinds of damage too about as awesome as RPG weapons come..

The Barn Blaster from Earthworm laid major smackdown on enemies.

Unlabored Flawlessness in Ninja Gaiden is slow but the sheer ass-whipping capability of that weapon is awesome.

[Ledhed]

In response to the actual topic, the pistol in Halo. My friends won't even play me anymore.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

The BFG in all its incarnations through the ID games. Spread Needle with 180% (Hacked of course.) from PSO v.2 would guarantee no one but you got EXP. The ever so cheap .50 cal from Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox and last but not least the crossbow from XIII. While it wasn't especially powerful like other stuff the head shot sniper kills always cracked me up.

[epobirs]

In terms of total deployments and effectiveness, it has to be the good old standard issue plumber's boots. Those things have stomped the life out of more stuff than anything else that comes to mind.

[Kaijufan]

The big nuke thing with the camera attached in Unreal...


THE REDEEMER, i think
Thats the weapon I though of when I saw the topic title.

[Indiana]

BFG 9000 in Doom.

Oh and the Sniper rifle in Unreal Tournament. Those head shots were awesome.

[hiccupleftovers]

The Fusion Rocket Launcher from Red Faction.

[LeviathynX]

The cerebral bore from Turok 2
The final sword from Aria of Sorrow that takes up half the screen
and maybe Guts' Berserker Sword. It was pretty pwnerrifci!

[scuba]

Yeah the Laptop Gun was cool as hell.

Atma Weapon from Final Fantasy III dealt all kinds of damage too about as awesome as RPG weapons come..

The Barn Blaster from Earthworm laid major smackdown on enemies.

Unlabored Flawlessness in Ninja Gaiden is slow but the sheer ass-whipping capability of that weapon is awesome.
I was going to say the same thing about taptap gun :)

[KrazyKefka]

The textbook that killed all the bad guys on the screen from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure on NES.

[coolcps]

Atma weapon and BFG were what i thought of for some reason.

[sying]

the dodgeball of Southpark (N64) fame

[captainfrizo]

Every weapon is devastating when I use it against my brothers or friends.

Multi-player aside, I'd say the good ol' shotgun. It's useful in just about every game it's in no matter what the situation. It doesn't take up half the screen, guarantee one-hit kills or launches mini-nukes, but it gets the job done time and time again.

It doesn't matter if it's a zombie infested city or a multi-player frag fest, you know you have a chance once you get a shotgun.

[darth007]

the golden gun in goldeneye

[goldengraham]

I was gonna come in here and expect to have to stand up for the redeemer, but I see its already got its due

[Thunderscope]

I liked the BFG in Doom

[Final Starman]

The RYNO from Ratchet and Clank 1&2.

[Lootr2Core]

Bo Jackson

[Lootr2Core]

..ooops in TECMO Bowl!

[Tespo125]

Wow, surprised no one has mentioned it: The Golden Revolver from James Bond 007: Goldeneye.

Goldeneye has the best weapons: Dual Golden PP97's, Dual Moon Raker Lasers, and a sweet Rocket Launcher.

Also the AWP (Arctic Warfare Magnum, noob cannon) and the M4A1 (Colt) and the Deagle (Desert Eagle) and the M3 (12-gauge pump shotty) from Counter-Strike are pretty kick-ass.

[Lootr2Core]

The Flange in Unjammer Lammy

[Lootr2Core]

The pepper in BURGERTIME... made the eggs, pickels and hot dogs FREEZE in the sucka's tracks.

[crazytalkx]

The "world's most interesting bomb" in MDK.

[ykryptonite13]

One weapon that characterized a game was Scorpion's spear from MK. Classic. Also the dagger from the POP: Sands of Time. What other weapon lets you come back to life?

[RAMSTORIA]

I've always wanted to ask Guile. What does your name mean?

1. Treacherous cunning; skillful deceit.
2. Obsolete. A trick or stratagem.

[pimp tyranny]

NOD's nuke in Command and Conquer. those obelisks were powerful as hell too.

the plasma cannon or something in Earthsiege 2, an AWESOME mech game.

Griever's attack in FF VIII (my fav FF) where it pulls four planets together onto the party.

etc etc etc. god i love games.

[BLarR]

The brick from Timesplitters, and the teddy bear from Raw 2.

[Rig]

It's not an in-game weapon, but the Super Scope was one badass lightgun. Oh, and the hammer from Super Smash Bros. is cool too.

[guyver2077]

bfg

[guyver2077]

The %127 J-Sword from Phantasy Star Online. Actually, and hacked weapon from PSO was awesome.

those hacked weapons sucked ass but spread needle was one dominant weapon

[Mishimaryu]

the rocket launcher from the RE series since it took most of the bosses out with one shot. :wink:

[PsyClerk]

The Seven Sword in FF Legend 2. You needed a badass character to use it, but if you could land all seven hits, pretty much everything died.

The cannon in Serious Sam was pretty badass as well.

Lu Bu's tenth weapon in Dynasty Warriors 4 nearly breaks the game, since both he and that weapon are so powerful.

[GuilewasNK]

One weapon that characterized a game was Scorpion's spear from MK. Classic. Also the dagger from the POP: Sands of Time. What other weapon lets you come back to life?

DAMN! I forgot all about the Dagger of Time!

[CaseyRyback]

person with rocket launcher and charge boots in R&C 3

This person will probably never die the whole game

[Wet Ninja]

The boat from the Jaws game for the NES....

Seriously though, I always liked the tek bow in Turok.

[int80h]

The spreader from Contra and SuperC.

[Wlogan31]

How about Flower Power for the super plumber?

Talk about 1-hit kills lol...sorry for this post...

[smalien1]

[Smell]

[mousin]

the cows in south park, BFG in quake, ryno owned the last furry boss.

Actually the super scope is a weapon in Super Smash Brothers. It even pwns in the game.

[Puzznic]

The Lightning in the first Mario Kart.

Agreed. I always kept a hacked spread in my inventory on ver.2 when I played unlocked games. That way if I got an annoying idiot on my team I could deny them the chance to gain any experience as punishment.

I never did use it in battle mode though, that was just way too cheap.

On GC PSO, only ranger characters could pretty much use the spread needle, so that exp hogging problem pretty much solved itself...unless you had a ranger on your team.

My favorite non hacked weapon on GC PSO was the Snow Queen combined with a Cure/Freeze Unit. I could freeze all the enemies in the room and not get frozen by my own weapon. Then I could sit back and be a lazy ass while the rest of my party members scrambled to get the now easily killed popsicle enemies. Everybody wanted my lazy ranger in their party after I obtained that weapon. :lol:

You called? ;)

[Dok Diamond]

the minigun in timesplitters 2, i love that gun.

[LinkinPrime]

The Laptop from Perfect Dark.

Transforms into a automatic turret, that thing was sweet in multiplayer. You could set up traps anywhere.

[smalien1]

The most fun was the proximity mines in Goldeneye, they were so easy to screw people with, if you played me on facility with proximity mines you would NEVER win!!!

[jbroush99]

How about (from game of same name):

Heavyyyyy Barrel

[flybrione]

The Land Shark Gun from Armed and Dangerous is also Fun. Cracks me up all the time!

[nintjk]

I would have to say the Shark gun or the Topsy turvey from Armed and Dangerous. See the shark eat guys up Jaws Style or turning the World upsode down and watching them fall to there Doom was Classic. :)

[BLarR]

"Flay" from the original Blood Omen. Tearing the flesh off of humans is something more games need to incorporate.

[evilpenguin9000]

The leg sweep in Virtua Fighter 2. I know it's silly, but my friends had some surreal battles that consisted of almost all leg sweeps.

Also the double ship trick in Galaga was potent.
