Logarius’ Wheel from Bloodborne is a personal favorite.

@Scy Cut from the same stone, they are.


That shit reminds me of Axel from Twisted Metal. That’s a crossover I could enjoy.

There are probably tons of others, but the one that jumps out first is the electric guitar from Gungrave: Overdose, wielded by…I don’t even know how to preface this name: Rocketbilly Redcadillac.

Ah yes, Rocketbilly, the ghost rocker spirit of vengeance from Gungrave. Shit I love that dumb game.

Does a deck (like in Shadowrun Returns and its sequels) count? Because if so a deck.

Damn, I forgot how many good ones the Souls series has.

I was gonna initially pick the rubber duck explosive from Hitman, BUT I’m gonna go with Doomfist’s offhand. Oh yeah, that’s right. Not even his big, fuck-off gauntlet, I’m talking about the shotgun he has grafted on his knuckles. Understated and ridiculous, but it fills me with glee.

“Paracelsus is a living demon-axe weapon originally named Flament Nagel. This giant living demon-axe is A.B.A’s friend, fighting partner, and spouse in the Guilty Gear games.”

“He dislikes things that oppose him, like Slayer, and doors.”

This is from a game that has characters who fight with: a guitar, a pool cue + billiard balls, magical hair, yo-yos, and a sentient(?) bed.

What’s more satisfying than dropping a box on your enemies?

I’ve been watching a Yakuza 0 playthrough and honestly I’m seriously considering just stopping and picking up the game at this point.

The Witch Pistol in Enter the Gungeon shoots fast, accurate, fairly high-damage bullets… that have a small chance of turning whatever enemy they hit into a chicken. A literal walking, squawking chicken that bursts into a puff of feathers if you walk through it. Every weapon in that game could more or less be an entry in this thread (my honorable mention goes to the “Bullet,” a gun shaped like a bullet that shoots guns that shoot more bullets), but that one’s definitely my favorite.

Oh, and the Half-Life 2 Gravity Gun. Mere words cannot describe my love for the Gravity Gun.

You know. I never made the connection between cyberpunk decks and yugioh duel disks. Wow.

HERE COMES A NEW CHALANGER

Wunderwaffe!

The Spade in Nuclear Throne. When you level up to increase melee range and improve reload time, I can usually get really far into the game. As great as all the high powered weapons are, the spade is the best.

I feel like yo-yos are less common than they should be in video games.
