Your Favorite Over-Kill Weapon

[Netrigan]

Pretty much what the header says, what's your favorite method of over-kill in a game. A tribute to those weapons that are so insanely over-powered that the only sane reaction is maniacal laughter.

Mine is the Akimbo enabled alt-fire of BLOOD's Napalm Launcher.

The alt-fire was formidable indeed, setting off cluster-bomb style fire bombs across a map... but with the Akimbo power-up, you would witness fire power so awesome that your frame-rate would grind to a near stand-still in witness to the awesome display.

I think the bore guns from Turok rank up there, but since there isn't a weapon yet that lets me cause BSODs to the people I shoot I'm still unsatisfied.

While not really over the top or flashy in any way I always fought the Bees Plasmid from Bioshock was overkill. Something about the way the swarm attacked makes me smile everytime.

I quite liked the Torque Bow from Gears as well.

Experimental MIRV by far. Eight mini-nukes, no telling where they'll go, but who cares? Once you've got this thing they might as well roll credits, 'cause there ain't a single baddie left in the game that can stand up to you.

Ninja'd. Only problem with it was you could only get something like 9 shots off with it. Unless you used the console to get more mini-nukes, in which case you sicken me.

I'll admit, i'm having immense fun hiding round corners then one-shotting unsuspecting people with the Sawed-off shotgun in Gears 3 beta.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Always loved the mayhem caused by the Cannon in Serious Sam.

I'm only on Chapter 4 and I know I have a ways to go but still, I'm calling it here:

THE SHOTGUN IN PAINKILLER

Ammo is plentiful and the enemies break into many, many pieces with a single blast, even at mid-range. The rate of fire is high too even if the alternate-ammo is kind of lame (never was a fan of freezing my enemies outside of Pokemon)

There's a blue-screen spell in Magicka if that helps?

Speaking of Turok.

Spoiler: Oh, hell yeah.

 

[Ldude893]

It can PICK PEOPLE UP. AND THROW THEM AT ENERGY BALLFIELDS.

 

[Rayne870]

The Redeemer in Unreal Tournament, but right now the chainsaw bayonet in Gears of War 3 beta, it fixes those jumping shotgun people so well And I mean it's a chainsaw bayonet that's just nuts, the rifle is the accessory at that point!

Speaking of Turok.

Spoiler: Oh, hell yeah.

The nuke from the first Turok was better in terms of power, but that thing looked so cool charging up.

My bare hands!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Brick's Berserk in Borderlands.

Seriously is some broken shit if I can kill all the bosses in one rage. Except the Vault Boss, sadly.

And I'll use it on single targets. >_>

Ned went down before I even lost my shields.

Actually, Flak and Shrapnel stock an infinite supply of mini-nukes. You just have to be patient enough to abuse the wait function to reset their inventory and be beyond loaded.


Besides, the only time I ever whipped that thing out was for an out-of-character non-serious clusterfuck bloodbath, so all I did was activate TGM, disable autosave, and go bonkers. Once I had it out of my system I'd re-load the save prior to the rampage and resume play as if it never happened.

Also, why does using the console in a single player game sicken you? I could understand cheating in multiplayer getting that reaction, but come on. It's single player.

I never knew that, I always heard that there were only something like 80 in the game. But I never really tested the theory.

Using it doesn't really sicken me, I just got told off once because I was using it in Oblivion and thought the whole "people raging on it" was quite funny.
