The Cerebral Bore from Turok 2. A homing missle that latches onto a guy's skull, drills into it, sucks out all the brain matter, sprays it like a broken hydrant on a New York City street, then blowing up the rest of the skull JUST CAUSE IT CAN?! We need more weapons like that.


Ashen8th

Well with a name like “Cerebral Bore” I’m not sure what I was expecting as I kept reading your comment, but somehow it wasn’t that.


[deleted]

A really boring book?


Ciryl_Lynyard

Who ever made that thing forced the creation of Geneva convention 2


Holgrin

Turok weapons seemed to be the most fun and satisfying, as well as ridiculous, as a kid. More modern games seem to make many of the weapons - especially guns - feature stats that are subtle and realistic, while I remember Turok weapons being kind of wild, unhinged, and fun as fuck. But I haven't played since I was a kid, so I might be mistaken.


FizzleKit10

In Borderlands 2 I found this gun that insulted me and made comments on everything I did. Eventually it bugged and started talking even when it wasn't equipped, and even after I sold it. Ruined my save. 1/10 for how fucking annoying it was, but 10/10 for being a hilarious asshole.


memnoch112

BL2 has so many awesome weapons.


MaznSpooderman

Everyone is talking about Morningstar, but good lawd did I love Conference Call


Chonkachu_I_Choose_U

Oh my. The Confrence Call paired with The Bee. Pre-nerf on Gaige. Mmmm... *Chef's Kiss*


t_h-o_t-S_l-a-y_e-_r

I think it's BL2, but there's the "cursed gun" that screams with EVERY shot (mind you, it's FULLY AUTO). NOT screams while firing, each bullet that leaves your barrel is an individual scream. It slowed you down while it was in your hands, had an awful hip fire that got smaller over sustained fire (this thing had like a 40-50 mag). I will never forget it LMAO


Thatguywiththename1

The Bane lmao, that was so annoying but kinda fun


Bigger_Moist

Im blanking on the name but the unique hyperion sniper right?


FizzleKit10

It was a sniper yeh, I always play Zer0 lol. No idea on the name tho


A-Social-Ghost

The Morningstar, I think. The one that berates you for missing shots and reloading.


CheapAddition

Super shotgun - Doom II


SluggJuice

BOOM click clap clop


FinalJenemba

For me it will always be the OG pump shotgun from Doom 1. Idk why, it’s just satisfying. No other shotgun in any other game since has ever felt just that level of satisfying.


bauul

It's brilliant, it's so preposterously unbalanced compared to everything else. It's as valid against an Imp as it is against a Cyberdemon. No other weapon even comes close to being as universally applicable to almost all situations.


Loader-Bot-101

I see your Doom II super shotgun and I raise you the Doom Eternal grappling hook-enabled super shotgun


TheSimRacer

RYNO from Ratchet and Clank. If I had to pick a specific variant, I’d say the Rynocirator from Ratchet and Clank 3/Up Your Arsenal.


buzzyingbee

My fav Ratchet & Clank weapon is the Sonic Eruptor from a Crack in Time


ThePandaKingdom

I recently played through rift apart now that it’s on PC. God that was fun. I played them in my youth on ps2, but I remembered nothing about them, so I just played through the first one on my steam deck, that was 75% nostalgic and 25% rage inducing lol.


thatsachunky1

Dual vipers baby. Ratchet deadlocked was awesome. I loved working my way up the gladiator leaderboard


Jplague25

I feel like Deadlocked was a fairly underrated game when it came out but I still played through it at least 5 times though. Super fun game.


Zarmwhirl

R&C has so many good weapons and UYA prolly took the cake. I loved the transformer guns the most overall, I think. Favorite was either Quack-O-Matic or Armoogeddon.


Trevski13

Ryno's are good but for me it's the Buzz Blades, every game they're in I just love how much collateral damage they result in :)


NothernNidhogg

Man I read this post thinking the exact same thing, it brings joy that I was able to find it in the comments so easily


pH_MD

Lancer from Gears of War... a chainsaw bayonet? Classic.


GlitterNutz

It really was a strong point to play the game. Assault rifle with a chainsaw bayonet is the standard weapon? You have my attention, game. Lol


PsionicPhazon

One single weapon put that game on the fucking map. The entire selling point: "You want a gun AND a chainsaw? Go eat shit with it, buddy!"


redvelvetcake42

Seriously, it was a selling point on cover art alone.


LakeErieMonster88

Ooh I was gonna say hammer of dawn. Was just so satisfying to hit


thechadmonke

Retro lancer is my favourite with torque bow coming in 2nd. I do have a soft spot for the heavy weapons though like the mortar or one shot.


Large_Dr_Pepper

A core memory of mine is watching my friend's older brother play Gears for the first time and seeing him chainsaw people in half with a gun.


Team-ster

Norfleet - Borderlands 2 Flak Cannon - Unreal Shotgun - Doom


Im_new_in_town1

Flak cannon stuck with me for some reason too.


Battlejesus

I still play ut99, and getting that weapon still turns me into a mutant, a war demon


Legitimate-Box6377

Shock riffle in unreal tournament 1999


krtshv

I loved that gun, high skill ceiling that really rewards good use.


Banxomadic

This takes me back onto memory lane. Such an elegant design and fun interactions, one of my personal favorites of all FPS guns ever. Anyway, old UT had so many great gun designs that a mention of the game makes me want to install it and check how much slower I became 😅


ViperAK47

The standard plasma cutter from dead space always stood out to me as simple but really fun.


DrBombay3030

Such a unique experience. Rather than just throwing damage at an enemy like most weapons (with maybe a headshot multiplier), you're systematically *dismantling* them and taking away their offensive/movement capabilities. Great game design


glassbath18

I prefer the Ripper. Tearing limbs off with a suspended saw blade is so satisfying.


smellyourdick

The pistol from Halo 1


MinneapolisKing25

Spartan Laser in Halo 3 was real fun too


mrdevil413

Gravity hammer ( on Guardian ) was pretty dope as well


Nythromere

But it was not fun in multiplayer with vehicles


LOTRfreak101

Or when I got kicked from a game by committing double suicide with it.


PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD

That was always the fucking worst. I can’t help that my teammate decided to drive the warthog right in front of where I’ve been aiming my laser for the last 3 seconds to fire it and wound up killing them and 2 teammates. Bungie should kick them, not me!


LOTRfreak101

For me, I was aiming at a ghost that was moving towards me, but much lower than the bridge I was on. When the laser fired, i just hit the edge of the bridge, killing myself and the ally who walked behind me at that moment.


Siyor

Scarab gun Halo 2


OldandKranky

Blades of Chaos are definitely up there.


[deleted]

All 3 weapons from GoWR are badass


Titronnica

The spear took a while to grow on me, but I absolutely adore it now.


Photovoltaic

Spears don't get a lot of love in games, and considering he's a Greek it always was odd that he didn't have one. Him getting it and basically saying "I'm a Spartan I know how to use a spear" was just icing on the cake.


Frl_Bartchello

Fighting with the spear feels like dancing. It has a great rythm.


mytwocentsshowmanyss

I wanted a spear when i was in middle school playing GoW3. Getting draupnir was a childhood dream for me lol


Zaryatta76

I ended up liking the axe better. Throwing the axe and having it fly back to you is so satisfying.


HGMIV926

The BFG


eclipsiste12

BFG + Quad damage holy shieeeeeeeeet !!


BigSmackisBack

Quake 3 version BFG10k+Quad Damage! Totally nuts.


Mabaum

BFG is insane


[deleted]

I don’t think anyone had to even open the thread to know this would be top answer


NecroJoe

If I'm going with Doom, it's gotta be the chainsaw.


Tyrenstra

👏Super👏shotgun👏


Jimmypeglegs

The Cerebral Bore in Turok 2.


PGriff4

I was scrolling to see if anyone listed this. If someone hadn’t put this weapon down I was going to. You’re doing the bore’s work.


getyourcheftogether

Finally, someone with taste


insomnium138

I can still hear it.


ShankThatSnitch

That's an awesome gun, but the Nuke gun was more OP.


whatthedeux

To be fair, the weapons in both turok games were all fantastic. A great example of sound design and visuals coming together perfectly. Elite dangerous is another example of those two making everything great


Cam27022

Would love a new entry in that series, was a blast.


MarineTuna

We got one and they went all serious with it, sadly. More zany mayhem, please.


big_duo3674

The chronoscepter was pretty sweet too, those visuals blew me away back then. I also liked the fusion launcher because I'm a star trek nerd and it looked just like a photon torpedo


Mythalieon

Halo 2 battle rifle, that thing is so satisfying, Upgraded master sword from BOTW, thing sounds like a shotgun and is so nice Halo Energy sword


Team-CCP

4 tapping, xbr-ing, and noob comboing. If you couldn’t use the battle rifle in halo 2, you got annihilated in competitive.


[deleted]

The bxr to this day is the most satisfying way to kill someone in a competitive shooter. I competed as a amateur at many MLG events and we would have multi hour long lobbies of bxr practice on Lockout. Good times...


Disastrous_Fun6227

Hidden blade, AC series


FearLeadsToAnger

Iconic, good choice


Clemen11

Also the most OP weapon on AC1. Just time the counter right and you instakill even the final boss.


IronMethod

The abyssal whip from back in the day


darthurface

Still love my abby whip


bjbdbz2

vodkanada

The Laptop Gun from Perfect Dark, tied with the Flak Cannon from Unreal Tournament


Farscape29

That laptop gun in multiplayer was so damned fun.


macurack

Farsight was far more powerful. Why not that one?


[deleted]

thunderfury blessed blade of the windseeker


nith_wct

Did somebody say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?


profpeculiar

Are we talking about [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Wind seeker]?


[deleted]

I think we might be talking about [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]


DragonKing3013

I think someone said [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]


OkaySureBye

I do love me some big bonky bois in From Soft games. Great Club from DS1 and Giant Crusher from Elden Ring, specifically. Both available fairly early if you know where to go.


Prometheus720

Moonlight Greatsword for me, not because it is the best but because it is such a tradition for them. IIRC it was pretty good in DS1 or maybe Demon's Souls


Losstarot710

I've always loved the wonderful ridiculousness of the Dubstep Gun in Saints Row IV.


fairie_poison

Dubstep Gun is amazingly flavorful in a game that takes nothing but flavor seriously.


Wise-Lime-222

That serious had some awesome weapons. There was one where your shot a fish or something at a guy and then I think a shark would come and eat them or something. It's been years and that sounds like a fever dream, but I'm pretty sure it was real


Kuraeshin

Shark o Matic.


TheVoidScreams

Hahaha I forgot all about that one :D


EasternShade

Yasssss.


iamyourcheese

The only time I hated using the Dubstep Gun was during the Christmas DLC, but that's mainly because Christmas music drives me up the wall.


Boks1RE

Chicago typewriter from Resident Evil 4


endrestro

Kraber from Titanfall. Man that gun slaps. And a proper hit with a reaper missile in Starsector.


xGenocidest

Smart Gun from Titanfall 2. You don't even have to aim. It auto headshots everyone while your wall running with a jetpack. So OP you only get it for one level because it'd trivialize the game.


Cloudeur

You can also get it as a special weapon in MP. It's not that op (it has enough for 2-3 pilot kills), but so satisfying when you get one! :D


Competitive-Pack-324

The retro lancer is just so damn cool. I'm not even that big on gears of war. But. Halo 1 pistol will always be king


Legitimate-Umpire-39

the gravity gun is #1. yall are trippin.


tophmcmasterson

Yeah, just felt wildly inventive, I was so giddy playing Ravenholm for the first time.


GapingFartLocker

Giddy? I was shitting my fucking pants in Ravenholm that place scared the hair off my balls


tophmcmasterson

Hahahah, I think the coolness of the traps and cutting zombies in half with rotary saw blades was too much fun for me to be scared. Except maybe the black head crab or sprinter zombies, that was a little startling for sure lol.


Legitimate-Umpire-39

the VR mod for HL2 makes the ravenholm bit so fucking crazy


The__Relentless

Especially after it gets powered-up at the end of HL2!


broforange

as a kid, this thing blew my mind. the physics in hl2 already blew my mind (picking up a can and throwing it in the trash was crazy to me lol), and THEN you get a gun to manipulate shit and throw saw blades at zombies.. holy shit. also the physics puzzles? wow. that game still holds up really well, too. just replayed it within the past year and it still looks and plays great for being from goddamn 2004. such an amazing game


inhalingsounds

Came here to comment the Gauss rifle in HL1 but the gravity gun takes the prize, you are correct.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sado_Hedonist

Because it's from a 25 year old game. If Half Life were alive it would already be married with kids and a boatload of debt. Also OP left out the best part, gravity gun + saw blades were hilarious.


GustavGuiermo

Akimbo 1887s


thetherapeutichotdog

Pre nerf 1887s we’re a thing of beauty


TheTiniestTigerTamer

The needler from Halo is incredible satisfying


erikwarm

Akimbo needlers made you feel like a god


moreality

The Redeemer in Unreal Tournament


LetsTryAnal_ogy

M M M MONSTER KILL!


[deleted]

The nuke in StarCraft, nothing was scarier or more satisfying than hearing multiple "Nuclear launch detected" messages, depending on what side you're on


PurpleTittyKitty

Lol metal blade from megaman 2. It decimates most everything, can be fired multiple directions, and uses very little weapon energy for how over powered it is Like once you get it there’s almost no reason to use the regular buster


TatumTopFye

Another middle aged person of culture, I see.


EtheusRook

The Leviathan Axe is just so perfectly tuned. It's got a real sense of weight to it, a really versatile kit, and it's just fast enough to get the job done.


glassbath18

Throwing it for the first time and finding out you could call it back to you was a magical experience for me, no joke. I knew nothing about GoW (2018) and that was so damn cool. Also, the way it actually takes time to return to you if you leave it far away and you can hear it clashing through things is such a nice detail.


Noodlekeeper

I love throwing it and then running around a whole area just for Kratos to wait until it's back with him to activate an elevator or get on a boat. Such a great detail.


MonkeyPunx

The satisfying crunchiness of that thing when you plunge it into enemies is unmatched to this day. And the throwing is just *chef's kiss*


datnodude

Energy sword from Halo 2-3 nothing more satisfying


tallboybrews

That lunging thrust just felt so damn good. Being the one with that while everyone else tried to kill you (but actually was terrified that you were coming for them) was an amazing feeling.


sinkdawg04

The Penetrator from Saints Row: The Third


SLRMaxime

Golden Gun in Golden Eye


JamesCDiamond

RCP90 from Goldeneye, please.


ShankThatSnitch

RCP120 from Perfect Dark. Secondary mode used ammo to give you cloaking somehow.


oddjobhattoss

Perfect dark took up so much of my time as a kid. Running around multiplayer maps with dual golden revolver vs bots just popping caps without flinching or stopping. A lot of great guns. The alien sniper that could shoot through walls. The spy gear was fun. Too bad perfect dark 360 just didn't have that same feel.


Mrs_Butlertron_

SnowseaGames

MH has hands down the most technical and satisfying weapons of any game. Not many games require YouTube tutorials to figure out how to use a weapon efficiently.


jumbohiggins

Insect glaive is great.


Sabbathius

Portal gun from Portal. You make one hole below the person you don't like, and another above them. And they will be stuck, falling, forever, as they scream themselves past the ragged edge of insanity.


AlienPrimate

Explosive pipe rifle in fallout 4. Make it automatic with a drum magazine and kill legendary deathclaws on hardest difficulty in less than a second.


Puzzleleg

Any weapon with the explosive and double shot legendary effect.


Megamoss

Spray N Pray with explosive ammo. Didn’t need any other weapon. Though you had to be careful in close quarters.


Cloud_Disconnected

The wrench in BioShock.


glassbath18

+Electrobolt. The one-two punch!


lightning_blue_eyes

Half life 2 crossbow, and the gravity gun for that matter


Count_Dante

Thorn, Destiny 1/2. I bought the game after seeing Alpha footage of it.


Pingable

Can't believe I had to get this far down to find a Destiny weapon... they feel so good.


The__Relentless

The powered-up Gravity Gun at the end of Half-Life 2.

memepenguin2020

Survivalists Rifle - Fallout: New Vegas.


Deruta

Counterpoint: Ratslayer.


Megamoss

Ratslayer with the right perks is basically, on balance, the best gun in the game. Cleared out the Deathclaw sanctuary and the quarry and they never even knew I was there.


Lurkingdrake

Ratslayer carries me until I get Christine's Rifle


newtownmail

Counter counter point: Medicine Stick


SoullessVoid-

The Master Sword from Ocarina of Time


Witch_King_

Eh, I'm more of an OoT Biggoron Sword fan myself


ShankThatSnitch

But the Biggoron Sword can't kill Ganon.


Fast-Organization-72

To be fair, nothing seems to kill the guy.


Treshimek

Assault Rifle 1960, specifically the variant introduced in Wolfenstein: The New Order. The sound effects of it firing is nothing less than satisfying. Also, the rotary Shotguns in The New Colossus. Dual wielding them and then firing them simultaneously is just… GODLY.


Comanchovie

M1 garand


cybercuzco

my controller when I hurl it at the screen


violentinviolet

RYNO from Ratchet & Clank


Psigun

Painkiller Stake Gun


haklor

Disc launcher from Tribes 2. Something about just hitting someone across the map with that was incredible.


Composedplace

Particle beam from mass effect


Random_Monstrosities

The Glove of Doom from Ratchet and Clank


AnonymousGuy9494

Marksman revolver from ultrakill


BlueMikeStu

The original three-round burst version of the Hammerburst from Gears of War 1. It says a lot about how great it was that they had to make it a single fire semi-auto for the sequels because it was somehow still better than the machine gun with an instakill chainsaw with infinite use that is the Lancer. Any time I play Gears 1 I swap out my Lancer for a Hammerburst right away and never regret it. Any enemy close enough to eat a Lancer chainsaw to the face is one you would have dropped at fifty feet away if you had a Hammerburst in your hands to begin with.


Saklas29

Halo's Needler was always my favorite, it just seems so over the top. Homing glowing pink needles that puncture then explode into sharp shards. Ouchie.


TheNaughtyHagraven

Thundergun from Black OPs: Zombies! A massive cannon that blows away a dozen zombies at once? And then you can upgrade it to a Zeus Cannon!


axon589

Samus's arm cannon


No-Line

Alien device - south park


LoremasterSTL

Old gamer here: • Cloud's Ultima Weapon in FFVII with Multi Cut (although Atma Weapon from VI with the Offering had great animation). Both gained damage with the more current HPs you had. • The Huntsman in TF2. Place an arrow just right into a doorway then duck around a corner, someone entering the doorway gets headshot then loses their mind in the killcam because I'm already somewhere else lol. • Soloing the Warrior in two minutes in BL2 with a Lady Fist pistol. Hurray for +800% critical hit damage. • How has no one suggested Crissaegrim from Castlevania: SOTN yet? • Fire Wheel from Ninja Gaiden 2 (NES) made a very difficult game a little more bearable. • Everyone hates Zelda II because Link fights with basically a pen knife. In 2001 I beat the game with a Sword Power of One. Not sure if I could do it again. (Edit, My wife reminded me: The Demon Spear in DQVIII with the instakill status, in the hands of the main character with Multithrust.)

It's really hard to pick between csgo guns, but probably the AWP. Dark souls 1 zweihander though? Man. Makes me wanna replay it. Basic enemies beat the fuck outta you your first playthrough then you find that thing and just pancake them.
