Most useless Videogame Weapons

[Vivace-Vivian]

The drumstick in Medievil.

Of course it was a gag weapon but still. Stupid ants...

Klobb klobb klobb klobb klobb klobb klobb

It's even worse when you realize it uses 9mm ammo, which the starting pistol, the PP7, also uses, but you can learn to use the PP7 effectively. Not the Klobb, whose suckiness magically makes bullets do less damage, probably due to its rubberband-based delivery method.

Klobb: The original shitty weapon. I was wondering when someone would get around to it. Everyone else is mentioning weapons that have extremely limited use. However, there was NO situation where the Klobb was preferred over ANY other gun. ZERO.

Magikarp that pokemon was ass. Yea I know it evolved into one bad mother fucker, but dragging that thing through levels was a pain. Magikarp used splash, fuck you magikarp.

back in the first games I would always teach magikarp skills like water gun just to throw people the hell off by making it do something useful.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

Most of the weapons in Dead Rising...

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Broken swords are the magikarps of Demon's Souls (they turn into the legendary Blueblood Sword but are worse than starting weapons for all classes).

I don't know, I managed to take out a person's Arceus over Wi-Fi with the Lv-100 Magicarp you get in the Resort Area in Platnium.

Anyway... most useless videogame weapon? The Magnum in Halo 3. It looks the same as the one in H1, but is an insult to its ancestor!

I hate you, Medigoron.

We should file will Goron courts for a refund.

 

[Spartan X1]

Beer hat in dead rising 2 wooo! One cube per sip then three sips in your drunk, vomiting, and being eaten

 

[Chibz]

The cane from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on NES. It, literally, did nothing. Most useless weapon ever.

 

[DSD12]

The blades that go on your right arm in Armored Core they had no range and you can barely hit anyone with it was basically having a butter knife strapped to your arm

 

[mjc0961]

Zodiac and Clank Zapper/Shocker from Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. About a million bolts each, low ammo capacity, and low effectiveness.

Yeah, those two certainly qualify. They are both awful.

...In fact, I can't think of anything more useless right now, so they win.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

the staff from dr.jekyll and mr hyde
i win

FUCKING NINJA'D!!!
GEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

But anyway-
All of the snipers in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
If the scope is pointing 4 feet away from the targets arm, You'll hit them.

But nothing more, nothing less.

 

[RobotNinja]

Throwing knives in Assassins creed: Brotherhood..
They work but you have to throw 2 of them almost all the time. it gets really annoying.

If you hold down the throw button the knives will kill instantly, and Ezio will throw three knives rather than just one.

 

[Speedwagon]

I couldn't think of any terrible weapons and I saw some guys mention Pokemon. Dunsparce in Gold and Silver is useless. If you think Magikarp is bad Dunsparce is even worse.

 

[Aeonknight]

The Rivet Gun from Dead space 2.

Terrible weapon, and what's worse is you paid for this thing.

The BB gun from Fallout 3 it sucks hard

If you take Ghoul Ecology (+5 on headshots, before bonus), Superior Defender (+5 while standing still, or in VATS), Better Criticals (+50% damage on any crit), and get a Sneak Attack Critical headshot, that 4-damage BB is boosted to 108 armour-ignoring damage*. It's enough to one-shot many low-level enemies, and it's hilarious to watch the dramatic VATS replays.

Spoiler: *

4 base damage + 4 critical + 5 from Ghoul Ecology + 5 from Superior Defender add up to 18. Better Criticals makes it 27, sneak attack X2 bonus makes it 54, headshot X2 bonus makes it 108 damage.

What is the most useless videogame weapon you have ever come across in an RPG, MMO, FPS etc.?
For me that is Single Shotguns in New Vegas.
1) One shot at a time, most likely dead by the time your done reloading.
2) Long reload time for one damn shell.
3) Does jackshit.

The single shotgun is terrible, but long reload time can be exploited if you do it right. If you have enough AP and your partner is Veronica with Ballistic Fist, go ahead and fire the shotgun twice. You'll get the 25% damage resistance bonus from being in VATS for a while while she punches some Deathclaws to death.

Sadly, this is not nearly as effective as in Fallout 3, when that DR bonus was 90%. So yeah, the single shotgun is bad unless you only have 1 weak target.

Speaking of the "Wild Wasteland" Perk, I didn't notice that many changes...

Do you remember what it DID change?

I didn't notice much, and I don't think it changes many encounters. But in Caesar's outpost at Cottonwood cove, I found a piece of graffiti that read:

Game of the Year.

The BB gun from Fallout 3 it sucks hard

I once took out a minigun-wielding super mutant with nothing but a lead pipe and my BB gun. Needless to say, it took a while.

 

[sgt. soap mctavish]

I would have to say the Hammerburst Semi-Automatic rifle from Gears of war 1 & 2. (except in the gears 3 beta because, IT'S TOO POWERFUL)

 

[Whodat]

Your hand in Myst.

I hate you, Medigoron.

My new favorite post. Fuck that guy.
