ITT: Weapons that are completely useless

ITT: Weapons that are completely useless

Nobody? Fucking newfags

Phone rabbit

Almost all weapons in the first Parasite Eve.

All fast physical twohanders in WoW.

All weapons other than Crossbow and Missile Launcher in Shadow Warrior.

Flamethrower in AvP gets a special mention for doing absolutely nothing.

>flamethrower in AvP
it did damage over time and could slaughter large amounts of xenos in a fraction of the time it took your normal rifle, if you focus fired from down a hall way or corridor they wouldnt stand a chance

It worked in some open maps where you could puff and run away for five minutes.

If you actually held the trigger you ran out of ammo in three seconds.

Every ranged weapon in vtmb except the assault rifle.

...

It upgrades any weapon you currently have though. Getting that shit after you have either the spread shot or flame thrower is fucking crazy.

The revolver was op as fuck

sadly

>Useless weapons
What is every flamethrower known to man

...

Not really, you use it to dispose of weak enemies like headcrabs and barnacles. No point wasting other ammo on them.

...

Not in XCOM

Most weapons in most games?

Really, most games are shitty about this. They are loaded with weapons that get shit all over by some incremental upgrade which gets shit on by the next which is ultimately replaced by the one or two top weapons.

Shits' gay af.

...

You type like you're 12

You type like you're 11

...

You type like you're a samefag

I want to say the double barrel from serious sam because really only good for medium size shit like gnarrs and though it's great for kleers odds are if you're on hard+ you're circle stafing 100 of the cunts and it becomes as useful as the knife

XCOM flamethrowers kick ass in like all iterations.

that hivemind tho

cant be samefag cause of those post times newfag. so what are you? 11 or 12?

fucking dumbass

...

This is only true until you get to Hollywood.

Yeah, plus there's the instant mag dump trick that works in certain versions of the game. I'll see if it works on the latest version later today, my friend is playing Half Life 2 for the first time.

But headcrabs die to 1 crowbar swing, and I was never short enough on smg ammo to not just use that

Its actually one of the best on higher difficulties due to cutting limbs so easy. You use it then finish with mine cutter.

>Halo 1 on legendary with this
you might as well have an army of babys throwing up on the enemies.

>not just smacking headcrabs out of the air with the crowbar as they leap at you

>tfw hitting shit with the flashlight literally does more damage than this pos

...

Not in Cod WAW. That shit was OP as fuck

>put put put put put put
It's really dissatisfying to use

This is factually incorrect. Just wave that shit all over the place with the telekinetic mode.

terrible sound effect, sprays everywhere except where you're aiming, and would be completely useless were it not for the grenade launcher

Doom 3's shotgun. The most unsatisfying shotgun ever.

...

why do people let larolaro near 3ds max

>terrible sound effect, sprays everywhere except where you're aiming,
Sounds like CSGO です

I found it to be a decent side arm. It barely takes up any inventory space, and sometimes you just need to blast something.

this fucking thing

(You)

Is that Quake 2's pistol?

Because ironically that game had no flashlight but that thing was great for lighting up dark corridors.

...

>legendary Daedric artifact
>any worthless iron sword tempered by someone who's been blacksmithing for all of 10 minutes will blow it the fuck out

It was alright for not wasting ammo on weak enemies or blowing shit up from a distance. I always appreciate a basic weapon that has infinite ammo.

I used it just to hear the sound it makes when he racks the slide

I hate how magic weapons work in TES games, too. It's too much of a pain in the ass to keep them charged.

YOUR WEAPON IS JAMMED
YOUR WEAPON IS JAMMED
YOUR WEAPON IS JAMMED
YOUR WEAPON IS JAMMED

But nig, all the guns jam when they're in shit condition. No gun jams in stalker when it's above 90% condition.

pic not fucking related?
>best melee weapon of any game ever just pales in comparison to the other weapons
>instant weapon switch and attacks extremely fast so perfect for secrets

its shit
SHIT

Klobb

remember to turn off texture filters
gl_texturemode gl_nearest

Get that and Libra.

it's really accurate and I prefer it to SMG since it's easier to headshot humans.

Of course they do, but none more so than the l85, purely because it degrades twice as fast as, say, an AK74, which you already have a great number of.
It's pointless because there are way better options by the time it becomes available, and ammo is non-existent until you tread a bit further north, or go back to the Bar to buy more.
Really, the L85, along with the ammo, needs to start appearing before the Bar for it to be viable in any way.

>tfw download OGSE
>tfw get past the initial shock of some aspects and discover you can slap rails on ak's and eotecs on them rails

Every single weapon in the Evilwithin

I kind of like it. Fairly useful up to the end of Ravenholm if you want to keep your distance from enemies.

FEAR 2's shotguns were far worse.

At least Doom 3 RoE's super shotgun was good.

It used to have a much faster firing rate before some patch.

EYE weapon balance is just a complete mess throughout.
>tfw want to use the Rotten Mound but it's just objectively worse than the KA 93 in every way

>No point wasting other ammo on them.
that's what the gravity gun is for.

I agree user. They force you to farm or grind in order to maintain the usefulness of the enchantment. Its really silly for a single player rpg.

it doesn't. shit was patched out like ten years ago.

I see a disgustingly large amount of soldiers running around with the black box+concheror

>Hey we're gonna give you a pistol that has infinite ammo so you always have a gun to shoot

It'd be fine but the game throws ammo at you around every corner. There's almost no reason to use this

Fuck, really?
I thought they left it in for singleplayer only.

valve patched out bunny hopping. They don't care if it's a single player game or not.

It's great for picking off stray enemies across a chasm or something.

Halo AR, H2/H3 pistols, plasma rifle, needler before 3,

I used it on the slow moving zombies.

Literally useful.

Also if I ran out of ammo on everything else I'd still use it, or the chainsaw, or fists.

Also, why are some melee weapons ultimately more deadly in some video games than ranged weaponry?

I feel like the knife was added as a joke.

wut. Just slap a soulgem on em and they're recharged.

Well shit.
On one hand I'm glad that they still update such an old game, but then they take out cool bugs like this.

Is there a way to play previous versions, like through a command line argument?

Through mods. I know some people (like speed-runners) have mods to restore the game to older versions.

But other than that, I don't know.


What really bugs me is that the beach buggy is much slower now, so you can't outrun the train at the end of Highway 17 anymore.
At least if you're driving normally, valve didn't change the speed of the buggy when you drive in reverse, so it's actually faster

I think you're right. There was even an achievement on SS: HD which you have to kill a bull with the knife. It was clearly added as a stupid challenge.

Impact Hammer from Unreal Tournament
>Inb4 muh jumps

Shield gun from 2004 was way better

Really, they decreased the dune buggy's speed?
It's been such a long time since I've played through Half Life 2 I hardly remember how it used to drive.

I think the last time I played it through entirely, it was on the Nvidia Shield clamshell.
That thing was actually amazing as a portable HL2 machine, ran fairly well for a handheld. Also it has the loudest fucking speakers of any portable device I have ever used, you could crank that shit to only 70% and it would blow everyone the fuck out

>Really, they decreased the dune buggy's speed?
I don't know how conscious it was a decision to decrease the speed, but when they ported HL2 to the Orange Box engine back in 2010/11 (IIRC) it was slower. Could be an engine quirk, could have been a decision that was made for the console version that made it's way into the PC version.

They haven't fixed it, regardless. Which is annoying because it blatantly breaks a piece of the game.

>have to carry around a supply of expensive soul gems
>have to constantly keep casting soul trap on enemies
>if it isn't a strong enemy it barely refills any power
>weapon gets drained in a few hits if your enchantment is worth a shit
The whole system turns enchanted weapons from something you use as a main attack into something you just keep in your inventory to use instead of casting a spell.

>make weapon to give Ts an advantage in hostage maps
>make hostage maps unplayable through active map pool feature
>people think pushing long A with one of these is acceptable

I win.

The fire rate hasn't changed, but the accuracy has.

I got an ace with that, once.

>he does not use it as a flashlight and switch trigger

>Almost all of the weapons in parasite Eve

That's pretty true but with the upgrade system or whatever you want to call or you could put decent attributes on pretty much anything

...

Fucking this.
I armed archimedes just so I could use this against deathclaw mother, it did literally nothing.

The axe has decent stun for early enemies.

>flamethrower in AvP

That thing was an abolute killing machine against xenos, what are you talking about.

Charged shot is great till you get the particle cannon.

P.E.P.S. gun
