What are some of your favorite unique weapons in video games?

[Turbo Kid]

Mark of the Ninja

Ravenous insects - For the ninja that is both sadistic and efficient (no bodies to hide)

Ratchet and Clank

The Groovitron and The Sheepinator which can be combined for extra hilarity

Armed and Dangerous - The Shark Gun. It shoots sharks because, why not?

Shinobi

Akujiki the Demon Sword or "Devourer". A sword so powerful it can kill every boss in the game in one hit, assuming it doesn't completely devour your life force first.

Zenyatta's orbs in Overwatch are probably my favorite FPS weapon ever. There's really nothing like it that feels as buttery smooth, carefully planned and well-animated the way they do.

[Ferik]

The Vigoorian Flail from Ninja Gaiden. Scythe Nunchaku

I also really like the K9000 Cyberdog Gun in the Old World Blues add-on of Fallout: New Vegas. It's a Minigun powered by a dog's brain and it'll growl to alert you of nearby enemies and cries when you unequip it.

So far I only loved 3 weapons in me life:

https://syphonfilter.fandom.com/wiki/Air_Taser (Good for human BBQ lolol)

https://painkiller.fandom.com/wiki/Painkiller_(Weapon) (Good for launching enemies into the air and chopping them down as they fall)

https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Flak_Cannon (Good for making your enemies die in an acrobatic way in UT 2004 lolol)

 

[RETRO-VETRO]

His coconut gun can fire in spurts
If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt!

The .223 Pistol from the first Fallout game:

 

[bjork]

Garlic in Vampire Survivors, even though it isn't as useful late-game.

 

[X y b e r - S k u ll]

Moonlight Greatsword

Awesome weapon that's been in almost every FromSoft game dating back to the original Kings Field. This is the weapon that made me branch out from doing Strength and Dexterity based builds and try different ways to play these games.

Ghiza's Wheel

On my first play through of Elden Ring, I dropped whatever build I was working on and started building around using this once I got it. I just love how bizarre and unique this thing is.

Murasama Blade

Tbh I could say high-frequency blades in general, but this one looks the coolest to me. A red katana that pretty much cuts through anything, whats not to love? Plus, Jetstream Sam is such a cool character as well.

Keyblade (Decisive Pumpkin)

I always thought the Keyblade was cool since I first saw it back in the day. I picked this one specifically because it's my favorite one to use in KH2 (My favorite KH game).

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

The YCS/186 Gauss rifle, Tesla-Beaton prototype Telsa cannon, in Fallout: New Vegas.

a broadsword from dot hack gu and a unique set of dual swords from the game.

ganondorf's twin swords from hyrule warriors.

bayonetta's guns.

[Redwall Muzyczka Redwall Muzyczka Redwall Muzyczka's icon]

I REALLY like the Dragon's Tooth sword on Deus Ex, such an unlicensed light saber that I'm almost amazed that the studio didn't get sued for it lol.

you can get a lightsaber in bayonetta one. it's called "pillow talk".
in the wii u and switch ports, you can have her use the lightsaber while wearing link's hero of time outfit. it's fucking awesome.

 

[Big Finger Jim]

Monowire from Cyberpunk. I've always loved whip weapons, and combining one with what feels like a classic God of War weapon is a match made in heaven.

 

[Reamkalamid]

Double giginox monster hunter portable 3rd

 

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

For me it would be the Time Disrupting Grenades from TimeSplitters: Future Perfect that are known for being powerful grenades that it generates as explosive waves and at the same time slow enemies for a period of time and has 5 Uses like any type of Grenades in the Game.

 

[Miles]

Buster Sword and Masamune from FF7.

 

[Neb Lleb]

Two words: Cerebral. Bore.

 

[nobitakun]

 

[Kaze01]

I've always found this pair of Keyblades just too cool to see and wield.

 

[thetwaz]

While the game is about Lightsabers, I always had a soft spot for this guy (Concussion Rifle, Dark Forces, Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, and Jedi Knight and Outcast):
