Most OP Weapon in a Game?

[captaincabbage]

The most overpowered weapon is any weapon that is used to kill me.

Also, the most underpowered weapon is whatever weapon I happen to be using.

And if you're ever killed by the same gun you're using, I'm pretty sure a singularity would form.

OT: I did ever so love the four barreled rocket launcher in the original Killzone. Just having four shots in a rocket launcher is overpowered enough, but when you add in the ability to fire all of them at once as smooth-arcing mortars, well that's just all kinds of fucked up.

Awesome, but fucked up.

The original Unreal had a rocket launcher called the 8-Ball. It held six rockets adn you can fire from one to six of them at a time in normal mode (with no trajectory... just a straight shot) and in secondary fire it became a grenade launcher and you could bounce the projectiles off walls and such.

Wha, that sounds magical. I guess I could one up everyone by saying the R.Y.N.O 5 from Ratchet and Clank A Crack In Time. It has like, sixty barrels and spikes all over it and shoots bullets and rockets everywhere.

Oh and also, it plays the 1812 Overture (I think) every time you fire it.
If you can find a weapon more epic than this, then I respectfully concede defeat and tip my hat to you.

A Tank in all the fun GTA games, I wasn't aware that tanks explode everything they touch lol.

The blue, Combine energised-a-tron Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. Since they couldn't find a way to have the physics manipulation work on "living" soldiers and whatnot, their elegant solution was to make it kill everything it touches.

 

[suitepee7]

the Fat Man in Fallout 3 and NV because it's a nuclear grenade launcher, put that in CoD and you have the grand noob tube of awesome

What, no MIRV? No Esther with tiny tots?

mysterious strangers magnum anyone? most op weapon ever...

 

[DanielDeFig]

The R.Y.N.O. guns from Ratchet & Clank games.
They fire 7-20 (Increasingly more, for each new version) auto-targeting nuclear missiles. They all have a 1 second rate of fire, and a large ammo capacity.
Add to this Ratchets great mobility in combat, and you are truly unstoppable.

Ninja'd?
This has actually never happens to me before.

M16 with stopping power on COD4. Used it all the time, it suited my style of play very well. (i.e-defending strategic choke-points from afar with an accurate assault rifle or sniper rifle). However, what i thought was mainly over-powered about it was that with steady aim you could fire it from the hip accurately at anyone in close quarters. Say you run into someone inside, with an M16 stopping power/steady aim, you stand a good chance of killing them.

 

[PotluckBrigand]

The KARASAWA in the early Armored Core games. Had to house-rule that one out of Vs. rounds, but no true friend would use it against you anyway.

 

[Henkie36]

The Little Bird in Battlefield P4F. You can take out a tank in a few shots with the miniguns. Need I say more.

 

[Raddra]

You guys are all too young.

Nothing has topped the X-Com blaster launcher yet to date. Nothing.

Its a mini nuke that ets you program where you want it to go by setting waypoints.

I.e you can make it turn down corridors and navigate to where you want the mini nuclear explosion to go.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

I greatly dislike the term overpowered in a video game, especially competitive multiplayers. If you are skilled enough you could beat anyone with any weapon in the entire game, it seems to me that people only call a weapon overpowered or noobish when it kills them and not when they use it. The hypocrisy of that is absurd.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

the God Weapon mod weapons for Oblivion.
its their entire shtick.

 

[Ickorus]

Grenades as support in Battlefield 2, they may as well be mini-nukes and as support you get an infinite supply of them.

 

[RemuValtrez]

Poisons in TES:IV Oblivion, as long as you know what you are doing / have high enough alchemy you are basically unstoppable.

 

[kidwithxboxlive]

The ump45 in MW2
That has the range of a sniper when it kills me, and the power of a barret...

 

[Bishop99999999]

Kar98k in Day of Defeat. One shot, one kill, and you don't need to use a scope. Do those pixels over there looks suspicious? Fire away!

Down, Down/Forward, Forward, Heavy Punch.

I believe the AWM in counterstrike qualifies as OP.

One-shot killing a player regardless of whether you aimed at his head or at his pinky toe?

Yes, I quite believe that that is OP.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

the greatsword in the monster hunter games....that or the *shudder* master sword from any LoZ game.

 

[krazykidd]

Golden eye 007 . Golden pp7 or golden gun . Those guns are one hit kills.

Perfect dark. LAPTOP gun or farsight . Laptop gun can be used as a sentry . Farsight and see and shoot through walls.

Loved both games to death.
