The worst and most pointless weapon in any game.

I'm going to have to go with any Shotguns from any Metal Gear Solid. I've never found a reason to use them. There loud, and obvious to get you spotted, but the time you are using serious fire power, it's still Useless. I could probably think of some others, but I'll just list this one for now.
The Poop is much worse. It...creates poop. Which has no chance of dropping coins or hearts.Me55enger said:
And it's the starting item for the ??? character.
...Yeah.
Actually, useful for a few select locations later in the game, because it:Snazzymathematics said:
A) Counts as a silenced weapon
B) Hits in an AoE
C) Frequently sets everything it hits on fire
Modding in multiple shots for it and giving it a spin, I found it to be quite OP, which is why it's only one shot. It's still pretty awful for most circumstances due to that one shot for one inventory space.
Most of the weapons in 'Rage' especially the pistol and signature cross bow you're given. It's not that the weapons (various assault rifles,sniper rifle, rocket launcher ect.) don't work at all, but they are sort of the selling point of an otherwise typical first person shooter/adventure, and they're not even that good.
Unless you're killing mutants, it seems you have to unload 15-20 bullets just to kill one human enemy (more if they have armor on).
The cross-bow gun (the selling point of the whole game apparently) loses its usefulness halfway through the game...and the game itself isn't even that long!

Still, I wouldn't say it was pointless, since the point of the gun was to be worthless in the first place. I hated how they placed that gun right in areas where I had to destroy a wall quickly, just to slow me down.chimpzy said:The Bubble Gun from Earthworm Jim 2.
It can't kill enemies. It has no in-game use. It just blows bubbles.
The A.J.M. 9 Pistol from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. It's primary strength was that it could be equipped with a silencer, but the bow made the gun worthless, since it was silent by default and could dispatch most enemies in one shot. The pistol was better for firefights, but everything else was better than the pistol in that case.
I thought they were pretty handy for those moments where you were forced to run and gun, mainly when you got spotted and had to clear a way to make your escape. It takes down enemies very quickly since it only takes one shot up close, making it so you only have to stop for a split second before you can continue to run for safety.MinkNyu said:
In the same vein, the Wooden Sword after Sora loses the Keyblade in KH1. At least you can still use magic while using the stick. With the Wooden Sword, you 100% have to rely on Beast to kill everything.Hemlock said:
The Winger in Team Fortress 2.
To put in perspective, this is a sidearm for Scout.
A glass cannon who, ideally, has to be pretty darn close to get the most out of his weapons.
By default, his side arm is the regular pistol which delivers a decent amount of damage per hit (about 8 - 15 at it's optimum medium range distance) off of its so-so 12 round magazine.
Now, the Winger will net you about 10 - 17 at the same distance. An increase of 15%.
However, it does this on a pathetic 5 round magazine, meaning if all rounds hit for 17 you'd have dealt 85 damage instead of 180 (15 x 12) before reloading. In the same time frame, the regular pistol would have dealt 75 damage but would catch up and then some by firing even more (fire rate of 0.17s) while the Winger reloads (1.25s). The remaining 7 shots (105 damage) would be used up before the Winger would be able to retaliate, in other words.
So only use it if you want to willingly gimp yourself!

Yeah, I'll give it that, it's a pretty uncompromising take on the Pen and Paper rules and it's alright if you're using it on regular old human mooks in small groups. I guess though, had I not been familiar with the tabletop game, I probably would have (understandably) thought, "Guns! Yeah, that's the ticket", especially because it actually sounds like it's got a decent kick to it.Starke said:To be fair, that is pretty true to the P&P game. At least when you've got no dots in firearms. Get the four or five dice pool the .38 wants, and it's actually kinda useful.II2 said:Good god yeah. You'd literally be better served in any class just with your undead fisticuffs.Drakmorg said:The Thirtyeight from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (Anyone else remember that game?)
Without a doubt in my mind, the absolute worst non-joke weapon in any game. Everything about it is terrible. The accuracy, the damage, hell, even the firing rate sucked. You are literally better off just running up to enemies and using your bare fists in every single encounter when that piece of crap is your only available ranged combat option.
Guns in that game in general suck up until you get to Hollywood, but even then, that is the absolute worst of the bunch.
I rolled a Tremere, though, and was familiar with the P&P rules, so I mostly just pawned any guns I found for blood and knives / swords.
I want to go play that game now. It was really good.
I would say the Klobb from Goldeneye. An automatic weapon less powerful than...we'll everything. I'd rather use a throwing knife than a Klobb.
Just in case you're not trolling, it's a knife that keeps you from catching fire (HUGE for the spy, since catching fire reveals you when you're invisible) and is completely silent upon backstab, so no one will hear you causing trouble.superpandasauras said:
Use it with the Dead Ringer and now you can fool Pyros, too.
It's actually one of the better knives.
Its a sniper disguised as a shotgun. Seriously that thing has insane range and does the most damage out of any weapon in the game. In can one shot people from halfway across most maps.WanderingFool said:
How has no one mentioned the Golden Sword from Minecraft?
It used materials that could be better spent on a Golden Apple or decorate, has less durability than a wooden sword, and does at most the same amount of damage.

Wait, wait, wait...Shia-Neko-Chan said:
That's a joke, right?
Killing somebody with the Spycicle quite literally makes one of the loudest sounds in the game.
You can hear it from half the map away! Though it might as well make no noise, because people seem to play as though they lack ears or common sense (very loud freezing noise, nothing in killfeed...nope, nothing wrong with this!).
