What is the most broken gun you have found?

[John Stalvern]

The pipe gun from fallout 2. Shot was SO useless.

 

[Flour]

Lightsaber in SW tfu

how can anything survive more than one hit its a fricking lightsaber i think he cuts through at-st's with dat thing

and ppl stop it with like stun sticks and normal swords and stuff

I'll agree with you there, the lightsabre in TFU was rubbish and more akin to a shiny baseball bat than its namesake.

Cortosis Ore [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cortosis-weave]
The metal is supposedly very rare, and yet everybody is using it everywhere in the Expanded Universe games.
It's a cheap fix to give Jedi/Sith some decent opponents that aren't lightsaber wielders themselves.

Broken in a good way: The pistol from bioshock.
The perfect sneak attacker.

Broken in a bad way: Insurgent sniper rifles from insurgency.
An ak-47 is more accurate.

The Experimental MIRV from Fallout 3

It fires 8 nukes

8. Nukes.

The Zodiac for RC2 fires a white screen flash. All enemies decimated after said flash. Can nukes do that?

If by "a cheap fix", you mean "a decent challenge to a lightsaber" then I agree with you.

Personally, I've found lightsabers to be broken in both good and bad ways...

The good:

-Perfect defense weapon
-Perfect offense
-Requires skill to wield
-Can cut through almost anything


The bad:

-Again, it can cut through ALMOST anything...Besides Cortosis of course.
-Rarely makes a Jedi/Sith based Star Wars game a challange...With the exception of Force Unleashed, which nerfed the saber and focused more on the Force, and KOTOR II, in which it had different styles and situations to use the lightsaber...

Suppose no one remembers Clone Assassins from Star Wars Episode 3: the game? They were fun to fight because of their swiftness, and vibro-blades that deflected lightsaber attacks; which made them more of a challange then any other enemy you encounter...With the only exception being Jedi, and Nemodian, Brutes...The Jedi Brutes wielded Lightstaffs, or dual sided sabers, while the Nemodian Brutes wielded, I think, huge flails that they used to mine lava with...

On topic, The most broken gun I've found would have to be the Black HOle Gun in Destroy All HUmans: Path of the Furon...It summons a black hole, for pete's sake!

Surely after 8 Nukes exploding, there wouldn't be much left of anything

the pistol in Halo 2 it was so weakend down so much

For good reason. It almost as strong as the sniper rifle was in the first game.

That's because the pistol became the Battle Rifle, and the pistol became a weapon to be used in conjunction with a plasma rifle or Plasma pistol.

pretty much EVERY gun that I've encountered thus far in Fallout 3. If you can dump a clip of ammo into someone's chest and they can still fight, that's one helluvan underpowered weapon. Even moreso if you're dumping ammo into someone's HEAD.

Or when you go to use VATS and it tells you that there's a 95% chance to hit something but you end up firing into a wall.

Despite F3 being in realtime, damage, accuracy and health are all determined by numbers. Regardless of your ability to frag in call of duty, you're still bound by your Small/Big/Energy Weapons skill(s), as well as your guns condition, your movement, use of VATs, etc. It's not a FPS, it's a FPSRPG.

Actually he was probably referring to the fact that sometimes you shoot the wall right in front of your face multiple times. It has happened to me plenty of times.
for instance, you are hiding behind a low wall that you can look over, and in VATS you see your enemy, and have a 95% chance of hitting them. however, your gun is stuck halfway into the wall, which means the bullets are ALSO stuck halfway into a wall. and not in your enemies head.

This is why you don't use 1st person, go into 3rd person and adjust the camera to over the shoulder and this doesn't happen.

Genocide Gun In Earth Defense Force 2017, Everything goes BOOM, can't hit air though >.>

In response to the buggering complaints about weapons in Fallout 3, I dunno what could've gone wrong there, fellas. I've personally wiped the floors of super mutants and Enclave with everything from light-caliber weapons to the heavy artillery. That includes...

Shotgun
10mm Pistol
Submachine Gun
Chinese Assault Rifle
All The Grenades
All The Miniguns
Laser Weapons
Plasma Weapons
The Alien Blaster
Missle Launcher
Fatboy
Ripper
Fisto!
And My Bare Hands

Conversely, there have been times where a super-enormous blast occurs right near me and I'm barely scratched. So, I guess my enemies have all the broken ones. As for when I have something broken? Ehhh...hasn't happened.

What is VATS... I'm sure it's not value added tax


The most broken gun, well sort of, is the bayonet on CoD:WaW. It is rediculously easy to kill people with.

I get amazing KD ratios with it aswell.

May aswell just make a weapon called 'spear'

 

[Wewt]

Spy knife? 50/50

 

[Russian_Assassin]

The guns in Far Cry 2... Need I say more?

"Ambushing a prick, waiting for the right moments and the second he passes: Time to dieeeee! *click click click* (target runs away, fission mailed, game fucks off, never to be touched again!"

I hate realism SOOOO much sometimes D:<

 

[Combined]

The SPAS shotgun in nearly every game I have ever played. It just... doesn't hit anything no matter how hard I try.

That is annoying as hell, but really, it's the last 5% I'd say. If it said 100% it would be different.
