-20 to Magical and Physical Attack. I hope you enjoy inflicting 1 damage on every hit!
Did I mention you have to go to a specific dungeon to get that weapon?

The Melta gun from Fire Warrior (Tau based 40k FPS). I could not get the thing to work. I didn't know what it was, it seemed to require some sort of charge up before firing but it didn't work. Not even in close combat it didn't do anything.
Could it be the serpent slicer in Dark Cloud? The one you had to use to kill that giant unkillable 'killer snake'?likalaruku said:
Yeah, stuff like shotguns with 12 gauge slugs rocks the balls and ass of everything close quarters, while things like the M16A3 and M4A1 are the go to weapons for everything mid-range. Good thing that in the servers I play in, people limit themselves with the semi-auto shotguns.IBlackKiteI said:
Yeah, assault rifles and machine pistols are composed pretty much 90% of everyone's loadout. I remember clearly using the ACR most of the time along with a PP-2000. For those of you who don't know, the ACR was so accurate and so stable that when firing full-auto it was still pretty much a low tier sniper rifle. The PP-2000 is a russian machine pistol that was stupidly accurate, it's iron sights were nothing short of perfect and its range was very long for a machine pistol. It did crap damage but when you can put rounds into people rather quickly it hardly matters.IBlackKiteI said:
The UMP was so easy to control that you could breach entire rooms with no dificulty.
Have you ever even TOUCHED the Collector Particle Rifle? That thing rapes boss enemies like nothing else.WanderingFool said:
It's an almost-straight upgrade from the stock Knife. If you burst into flames, switch to the Spy-cicle to instantly put yourself out and be immune to flames for about 2 seconds. Disgustingly OP, as it lets you evade Pyros (combine with Dead Ringer for optimal results).superpandasauras said:
The starting pistol from the original doom was pretty useless. Especially since there were so may other weapons just laying around and they were all way better than the pistol.
What about the halo 1 and 2 shotguns? Halo one shotgun with a pistol as back up was the best combo.WouldYouKindly said:
The sniper is what made ME1 so dull for me that I couldnt be bothered with the series. It was simply too good (Go into cover, come out, shoot enemy, go into cover). Then again, I just flat out hated ME combat. I briefly tried 3, then got bored.
Dunno what I can really say, I mainly play RTS games.
*ponders*
Nope, nothing to add. Everything has its purpose if used properly in an RTS game (If the RTS has been built right). Like in CoH, I cannot think of any unit that is utterly pointless. Bar maybe the Flakk 88, its useless if you are playing against humans or bots on one of the harder difficulties. Sure, it will demolish tanks, but unless you are playing against a moron it will get max like, 1 kill (Which is offset by the cost of the fucking thing) after which it will get hit by off map arty, On map arty, a mortar, a sniper...
Man, I need to play more FPSs, the last one I got even half interested in was BF2142. Wait...
Arty in Bf 1942 if you did not have a sniper spotting shit for you. That took useless to the next level. Oh, and planes in the same game, if you were up against bots. Other planes would not be the threat, tanks/apc's would snipe you with MG's. The heavy bomber on El Alamein in particular. It was so difficult to be any level of decent with that thing, plus you would get shot down rather quickly unless you could convince people to be gunners for you.
Man, I really want a new 1942 using the latest engine. Destructo Scenery + WW2 = Win. Been wanting that since I first played Bad Company 2. Seriously. A city map (Berlin, Stalingrad, you get the idea) that starts not blown up in which one of the sides gets access to heavy bombers? That would be 10,000 levels of epic.

You must be using it wrong because I can get a one shot kill on a raider no probs.WanderingFool said:
The M.I.R.V from FO3 - fires 8 mini nukes per shot and if you aim too low, you'll die!
I'll definitely give you that. They had to though. They were going to have the original damage for the SoA carry on into TLC at first but then they saw how incredibly OP'd it was and they had to nerf it in order to create SOME challenge for the player. lolcanadamus_prime said:
When Fable 2 and 3 were coming out, I kept hoping they would bring back the SoA but they never did. *sigh* I think it's now lost to time.
Any Assault Rifle from Borderlands 2.
Weaker than the SMGs most of the time. slow rates of fire and aside from the Torque made ones, utterly pointless.

XCOM right? I'm not actually using that gun personally, and I still usually only had one guy using it out of a six man squad. I preferred my plasma sniper who would demolish practically everyone with double tap.My name is Fiction said:
Never played Halo. I was a PS2 gamer back then and I don't have any desire to get into it now. What was the range on it? Could you hurt someone 20 feet away? By hurt, I mean kill in a reasonable amount of shots.Timedraven 117 said:
I see you have never seen me play shotgun pyro on tf2 ( puff and shot). Or play half life (here zombie zombie zombie). Or left4dead (here zombie zombie zombie?).or Bioshock ( splice that!). Or fallout (vats + head = kill). A shotgun isn't useless, it's a strategic close up weapon that deals a lot of damage. Personal preference isn't what this thread is about, I think.WouldYouKindly said:
A useless gun for me would be . mmmh.I can't think of one actually. Usually every gun I have has purpose in a different situation. whether it's a pistol/rifle for long range enemies picking, or a shotgun/smg for closer range. EVen the Rocket/sticky jumper from tf2 have use, if matched with a damage melee ( market gardener/boom stick thingy) and shotgun.
I do agree on the Chinese pistol from Fallout 3, since it's a straight downgrade. And some of the things in Isaac, like brimstone, which I think is annoying to use. but it's deadly. Or chocolate milk, because I really like to just push space, rather than mash it.
The unique chinese pistol is actually one of my favourite weapons in the game, of course my character had already maxed out small guns and taken the "almost perfect" perk when I started to use it. Still buckets of fun for raiders and the like though.Easton Dark said:
I'd say the A.J.M 9(Pistol) in Far cry 3 blood dragon was useless. It had terrible damage and the fact that it was silenced was overshadowed by the recurve bow. It looks like it was made to be a main headshot weapon, but every other weapon is somewhat better at headshotting since the ironsights are unclear as hell.
Fireworks Grenade from Borderlands 2.
Unless you're using it against a few Rakk...well, no, it's still useless as drek.
