Top 8 Worst Video Game Weapons

There have been plenty of useless weapons throughout video game history. That one gun that you never use or that one item you never get rid of, because you think if everything else breaks you may need. here are in my opinion the worst weapons in video game history.

8. THE GREAT KNIFE – SILENT HILL 2

The Great Knife was actually a cool weapon to own in theory, but when it came down to using the beastly blade it was not all it was cut out to be. It was so big and heavy you literally had to drag it behind you. Slowing your characters movement down to the pace of a 90 year old with a bum leg. When you actually swung it it also was a hassle because by the time the blade was coming down the monster had either already attacked you or was far out of the way. Overall it was a weapon lacking so severally in speed it was nearly unusable.

7. WOODEN SWORD – NINJA GAIDEN

No i know a lot of you are probably saying “It gets better once you upgrade.” I realize that, but the fact of the matter is without upgrades this is a useless weapon. I believe it took about eight upgrades for this weapon to take it’s “true form” and about million credits later you were kicking ass with one of the best weapons in the game. I found this completely not worth the effort. I was too busy upgrading my GOOD weapons to dream about what it would be like to finish someone off with a slice from my super duper upgraded wooden blade.

6. BRASS KNUCKLES – DOOM

I can’t really see why anyone would use these at all. As long as you aren’t a complete n00b to the series you know that you can get the chainsaw and hack an slash your worries away. In DOOM 2 however Beserker Mode was added to the equation and they were once again useful to punch completely through enemies.

5. MAGSEC 4 – PERFECT DARK 64

The Magsec 4 was to be the token gun of the series, too bad it sucks. Really, all it was, was a glorified standard pistol except it had a secondary mode where it could shoot a three round burst. On its own with out the secondary mode enabled it was a little light on the damage, but nothing to complain about. Once you turned that that three round burst on however, it was like your hand spasmed with every pull of the trigger. You could also dual wield this pistol giving you about another 2% chance of actually hitting someone. The gun was inaccurate is really the point i am trying to get across here.

4.THE NEEDLER – HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED

The Needler has gone through a lot of changes throughout the Halo series not only cosmetic but also in function. In Halo the needles shot from the gun were painfully slow and often would not reach their target on time to kill the target they were after. They seemed to think that they fixed this problem in Halo 2 by simply making you able to carry more of them. That didn’t seem to completely solve the problem. Finally in Halo 3 they pumped up the power and speed of the pink shooter and allowed you to once again only hold one at a time. Definitely a fun gun to use, but not always the most effective.

3. MOST OF THE WEAPONS – DEAD RISING

I love this game but, anyone who has played it will agree that there are a lot of very useless and overall bad weapons in this game. Weapons like the Toy Sword, water gun, teddy bears, well pretty much anything you can get from the toy store in the game. Then there is the option of throwing food, while it is funny to see a zombie walking around with cream pie on their face, it’s not all that useful as a weapon. I was going to add in here the fact that you can spit on zombies,but then I remembered the concoction you can make that allows you to spit fire.You can pretty much get through this game using nothing but the car in the underground parking lot and keep leaving so another will spawn.

2. SMOKE BOMB – SUPER SMASH BROS: BRAWL

Seriously…WTF

1.THE KLOBB – GOLDENEYE 64

Anyone who has played Goldeneye 64 (and i am assuming all of you have) will know why this is number one. by far this has gotta be the most inaccurate gun in video game history. When you play Goldeneye people will go to great lengths not to use this weapon. they will use any pistol any grenade and karate chop they have before having to degrade themselves to this abomination of a weapon. Now maybe that is just my opinion and I may get hate mail from the Klobb Fan Club, but I know I am not alone on this one.
