Video game weapons you found most useless!

All true. I did think Energy Weapons weren't as good as they should have been in Fallout 3 either though. I mean there was nothing a Plasma Rifle could kill that the Xuanlong assault rifle couldn't kill just as quickly.Blatherscythe said:
Assault Rifle (Halo)- Uhh, excuse me. I wanted this thing to die before the 60 bullet mark. My pistol can get the deed done in before it hits double digits. I just can never find ammo for the damn thing.
2. I completely agree.
3. The game literally catered to everyone in their demographic. They had gameplay decisions for silent assassins and people who just want to shoot shit. These are both fun and acceptable ways to play the game.
4. I see your point. Then again this goes back to the MIRV argument. It is just hilarious to have and use.
1. That thing was meant to be completely ridiculous. You were meant to have fun with it. Example: I shot a Behemoth with one, I literally sieged Springvale, etc. They were all hilarious and great fun. There were a lot of things that were just novelty items. The fun was in them actually existing(to a lesser extent using them).Nanissimov said:

Funny story. I was once playing Goldeneye multiplayer with 1-hit kills and the pistols gun set. I dunno if it was a glitch but I found a Klobb. Pretty easy to clean up when you have the only automatic weapon, hehe.Drakmeire said:
it's not completely useless but the recharger rifle in Fallout New Vegas. it's only good against radroaches but it doesn't show p until you're in the mid levels. you basically have a level 4 weapon only found at level 12.
it distracts guards so you can stab someone on a patrol and all the guards will come check it out making it easy to just smoke bomb murder them all.Nanissimov said:
i found the most useless weapon was saints row 2's flamethrower, you set a dude on fire and he runs around for like 20 seconds before surviving and you have to hunt him down and burn him again, skipped the bonus points for using it in the cops missions and it saved soo much time just shooting guys
molotov cocktails in Call of Duty: World at War
anything found in the toy store in Dead Rising
the pool cue and BB gun in Fallout 3
and the Desert Eagle from Splinter Cell: Conviction

I would have to say as repair fodder for your Abilene Kid LE BB Gun. I had a Guns skill of about 25-ish & could snipe & one-hit Raiders with it as an Unarmed specced character. Other than that: there's always been a BB Gun in the games since the days of Fallout 1, which may be a weak excuse, but it is fun for that little bit of nostalgia.MiracleOfSound said:
My addition to the list of useless weapons: The Barbarian King's Hammer from God of War 2; you can't dodge when using it, instead you can try to swing a weapon that does more damage per hit, but less damage overall compared to Athena's Blades or even the Lance, but you could summon ghosts which makes up for it I guess (it doesn't really help).
Although one thing to know is that I try to take the weapons that are ridiculously underpowered and try to wreck things with 'em. Like joke weapons, or the Box Cutter from Silent Hill 4. Or that one gun-type... uh... crossbow... whatever it was in Devil May Cry 3: though that was partially due to my college dorm-mate saying it was rubbish, then I started perforating & reaming entire corridors of enemies as well as bosses with that & the Gunslinger specialization equipped. Then he noticed it was his "melee combos only" policy that undermined that gun's potential.
