In ME3, at least, the Revenant made an excellent panic weapon. Saved my ass from more than a few Phantoms.AntiChri5 said:
The Raptor, on the other hand, was downright useless. Large clip and rapid fire, sure, but it did so little damage it took forever to kill anything. Slap a scope on a Mattock (hell, even without the scope) and you have a weapon superior in almost every respect. I can find a purpose or a niche that almost every weapon in that game can fill. Except the Raptor.
In ME3, i loved using the Revenant in the multiplayer with the Turian Sentinel. Turn on Tech Armour, find some cover and enjoy the stability boosts while mowing down enemies.Tahaneira said:
I couldn't agree more about the Raptor. I have friends who say they love it and can use it well, but i have always found it a waste of time. It's a glorified assault rifle, and not a good one.
Don't forget the Toy Knife in Point Lookout, worst way to make a unique weapon with no use.Legion said:
In Just Cause 2, there's a bubble blower gun located on one of the islands in the south west of the map. It's not challenging to get, there are no enemies around, but it can be hard to find (it's in a grove of cherry trees) and does no damage to enemies or anything. Just kind of a waste of time.
Why get a bubble gun? JUST CAUSE!

Real men used the Mattock anyway; a controllable, semi automatic rifle that hits like a jet-propelled freight train? Sign me up!drh1975 said:
On the subject of ME3 weapons, the Acolyte Pistol. What a worthless pile of crap; it does minor damage to enemies and strips away their barrier/shields and has to be charged prior to each shot. Why anyone would use it while pistols like the M-358 Talon are available fucking mystifies me.
You're kidding, right? Wabbajack is the one weapon in the entirety of Oblivion you can use to kill evil old Mehrunes Dagon.Colt47 said:
Sure, it's hilariously sequence breaking and borks the game. But it works.
It's vital to a Gold/Platinum flamethrower build. Takes down a Banshee's barriers in only two shots, then start the barbeque. It also does ungodly amounts of damage to geth Bombers, for some reason, and stripping shields isn't a bad function in general against geth.Gordon_4 said:
On further thought, I'd also have to go with the Eviscerator (though not as bad as the Raptor); it tries to be a balance between clip size, range, and damage, and winds up being horribly lacking in actually killing things. For a non-ME3 example, I'd have to say maces and one-handed axes from Oblivion. I don't know if my game was bugged, but no matter what my Blunt level, it would take forever to actually kill anything. Daggers and swords worked so much better.
The luger or silenced pistol from Timesplitters 2 were abysmal single weapons in multiplayer. They had use in the story because of silent headshots, but thats gone in the deathmatches. Dual pistols were so so, but not a single pistol.
Also from that game, the brick. a novelty weapon, but not effective in the slightest

Pretty good range, when you do get it though you mostly either in the Autumn, or inside the library, which is a underground facility. But usually you had your pistol for other thing you could not one hit with the shotgun due to range. But the range was pretty great from what i remember.WouldYouKindly said:
Mines in Elite 2 : Frontier
Frontier is pretty realistic for a space game, having Newtonian physics and realistic scale. The Sun really is about a hundred million miles away from Earth. Another thing that's realistic is how completely ineffective mines are in space combat. When the combatants have infinite room for manoeuvre and total visibility, a floating explosive hazard will never hit anything.
It's not a joke weapon, it's not a noob weapon and it's not a useful tool that can be used as a weapon if you are desperate. It's just a really terrible weapon.

The Boulton-Paul Defiant, a piece of shit fighter in any WWII sim which mounts no forward-firing guns. Instead, all of its weapons are in a rear-facing turret, which essentially means you have to get in the enemy's line of fire to shoot at it, while lacking the speed or maneuverability to out-fight him.
At least it's true to the plane's real life, where it did so poorly that it ended up being relegated to night-fighting duties, in the hopes that in the dark the enemy would only realize too late that it was a fighter plane that ONLY SHOOTS BACKWARDS!

Well, give it a while; people are still posting.drh1975 said:
Edit: OT, in case I get in trouble: I don't know if anyone knows/remembers Recoil? You control a tank, and every weapon is cool and fun to use- except the laser. It did piss-all damage as far as I could tell, and it's draw card (being able to bounce the laser off of surfaces) was too unpredictable to be of any use.
Good god yeah. You'd literally be better served in any class just with your undead fisticuffs.Drakmorg said:The Thirtyeight from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (Anyone else remember that game?)
Without a doubt in my mind, the absolute worst non-joke weapon in any game. Everything about it is terrible. The accuracy, the damage, hell, even the firing rate sucked. You are literally better off just running up to enemies and using your bare fists in every single encounter when that piece of crap is your only available ranged combat option.
Guns in that game in general suck up until you get to Hollywood, but even then, that is the absolute worst of the bunch.
Yes! My exact answer. I always assumed there had to be some hidden power to it, like one of the items that functions differently based on what you have equipped. But no, it's just the slowest and least damaging weapon in the game; and it's two handed.x-Tomfoolery-x said:
My vote goes to The Klobb from Goldeneye...the only gun I can think of that can take an entire clip of ammunition to put someone down WITH HEADSHOTS...
