Most rigged/overpowered weapon ever?

[mooseodeath]

the double cannons in chromehounds, specifically when mounted on inverse legs with a second set of double cannons on the other side. nothing says insta kill like 4 artillery cannons being used mlike a shotgun

 

[Sunstrike]

The bugged hive tyrant venom cannon in the DOW2 beta. I believe the damage or something had a wrong decimal place somewhere, so it became basically a semi auto perfectly accurate rifle, that one shot most units from a decent range. Considering most other units had to beat on each other for 10-20 seconds to kill something (game was based on low damage units for more micro) it basically broke the entire game.

 

[Hemlet]

The Devastator from Duke Nukem 3D comes to mind. Basically double rocket launchers with a ridiculous total amount of ammo and a fire rate to rival an assault rifle's. Yeah ammunition for the thing was a tad hard to find (unless you found a couple of secret areas), but that thing was also often the only weapon you used for the boss fights.

The Farsight and Genocide Gun have both been mentioned several times, no need to elaborate there.

BFG...it's the BFG what more do you want?

The Chronoscepter from Turok I guess? Although that's pretty debatable seeing as how hard the damn thing was to get and it only got three shots in the entire game.

The Rainbow from Chrono Trigger? Increases critical hit chance by 70%, essentially turning every other attack into a middle finger in the shape of 900+ damage.

The Hidden Blades from AC1 and 2. Learn to counter and dodge well enough and you don't need any other weapon.

as soon as I read the title I thought farsight.

Damn, you beat me to it.

The Farsight from Perfect Dark is the most overpowered weapon in any game that I have ever played. The fact that it is a 1-hit-kill (2 if your shielded), and the fact that you can't hide from it - anywhere probably makes it the deadliest videogame weapon ever created.

I will one up you, with The Nuke in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer.

No only will it insta kill you, not only can you not hide from it but it will kill EVERYONE in the game and be insta-game over.

Now THAT is fucking overpowered.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the grounds that it is not a weapon that just anyone can just walk over to and pick up. It's not a weapon in the literal sense as in a rifle, pistol, rpg, death-ray, doom cannon, etc.

The nuke is more of a game-ending device that could easily never be used in a match. The Farsight is a weapon that anyone can pick up, use, and be better than everyone regardless of their skill level.

Bullet Bill in Mario Kart. I mean cmon, you go way faster, turn better, and look like bullet bill!!

 

[Shadowstep]

I'd say speargun/telekinesis combo from BioShock2. It insta-kills pretty much everything with 1 headshot even on hard, and if it doesn't just shoot the same spear into the enemy again using telekinesis (or throw their own grenades at them).

Except you gotta get a 25 kill streak to use it. The farsight needs only to be picked up and no one is safe, no one can take a hit and live (shield only prolongs the inevitable), and the auto tracking makes it almost miss-proof.

 

[mechanixis]

Fuckin' Genophage.

Total spawncamping, wtf.

 

[Caliostro]

To name a few of the top of my head:
Prototype's Thermobaric Cannon.

Not big on fireworks, but anything in front of you dies.

Fallout 3's Experimental MIRV

Semi-automatic 8-mini-nuke launcher.


Unreal Tournament's Redeemer and Ion Painter/Ion Cannon.

The person playing is beyond horrible, but the redeemer is a guided nuclear missile, and the Ion Painter is basically a targeting system for an orbital ion cannon. Just shoot them, you're bound to kill stuff.

Team fortress 2: the Critical rocket (Crocket) that beast can gib even an overhealed heavy.

Wrong. A critical rocket does 270 damage, thus it can't even one-hit-kill a fully overhealed Soldier (300 health). It also can't one-hit-kill a Heavy at max health (300 health), let alone an overhealed one (450 health).

Not even a critical "direct hit" (338 damage) can one-hit-kill a fully overhealed heavy (450 hp).

Also, FYI, the highest "critical hit", barring knife backstabs and sniper headshots, belongs to the Demo. Sticky crits do 353 damage. STILL not enough to one-hit an overhealed heavy, but higher than even a critical "direct hit".

Fail.

Now while I have seen the MIRV, perhaps you should take a look at this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_cFCZ_u8S4

i'dd still say that the mirv has a bigger area of effect, and if the blasts don't kill it the radiation will

 

[orc1231515]

Fuckin' Genophage.

Total spawncamping, wtf.

this has got to be the best one, none of the others in here kill on a interstellar scale.

 

[diddykonger]

for me it is the RYNO

Hmmm... So when a Pyro CBs that, it's justice, right? >

 

[painfull2006]

hmmmm personally i have to say the MP40 from Cod WaW, i found that gun game breakingly over powered

Why have access to all of those weapons when everyone only uses that same weapon

 

[archvile93]

you will understand why it is NOT a good idea to put the Farsight XR-20 in a match where there are other humans...

It's a fantastic idea, because hey have to stand still and lose perpheral vision to use it.

Cue embaressing disarm punch kills!

I suppose you have a valid point there, but at the same time, disarming said user is assuming s/he doesn't spot you with the auto lock secondary function, and even if you get within range there is still the chance of an anti-climactic point blank farsight round to it-doesn't-really-matter-you're-going-to-die-no-matter-what xP

Not if you have a shield. Then you can turn to your friend and go "hah." But yeah, I can't think of a more overpowered gun than that one except maybe duel DY357LXs since those are also one shot killers and, with two of them, can fire quite fast.

#2 any shotgun-sniper rifle in modern warfare 2

This! It is absolutely ridiculous. I'm not the best at MW2, but when I watch how I get killed, I almost want to throw up. I'll have spiked the guy in the face a couple times with an assault rifle, but he'll miss my foot by a good yard with the shotgun and yet still manage to kill me. I'm pretty sure sniping is pretty easy in that game, considering you can miss me by a couple yards (like the shot gun) yet STILL kill me. What happened to actually needing a bit of practice and skill to snipe in a game?

A guy can hope for a weapon nerf, right?

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Golden PP7 - one hit kills everytime

 

[RikSharp]

the RYNOCERATOR from Ratchet and Clank 4.
one shot, everything in front of you turns to ashes.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

The Cain in ME2 is fucking rigged. I never had 100% ammo. Ever. So I've never even fired it. I found the upgraded hand cannon in RE5 to be overpowered. Seriously, 5000 damage? I killed the bagheads in 2 shots. When I got infinite ammo, I became a god. The game lost all challenge.
