The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!

    The Cerebral Bore from Turok 3, Shadows of Oblivion.

    Honestly the whole weapon set was super unique and fun for deathmatch. Too bad the recent remake excluded multiplayer entirely… I’m still very sour about it.

    I hacked the Super Shotgun in Quake II to autorepeat quickly and take clips up to 999 large instead of 20 at a time.

    Gibs the Makron in about five seconds. (No not that French geezer.)

    Edit: oh yeah, I did the same with the rocket launcher too. I’m not sure which of those two is my favourite.

    a pretty modern and mundane response but at the moment, the RM68 in Battlefield 2042. mostly because of the odd sound it makes and how solid the hit markers for it feel. it’s certainly not the best gun in the game (or any game) but it’s just nice.

    The SH1900 from The Finals is one of the most satisfying guns I’ve used in a game before. Kicks like a horse but chunks away enemy health bars. High risk, high reward, high octane. And the audio just thumps you right in the chest with every shot, almost as much as the folks on the business end of the barrel.

      To quote Civvie:

      …it’s not important compared to The Super Shotgun. The ultimate demon slaying weapon, the pinnacle of shotguns. You think “why don’t they just call it the double barrel?”. Because it’s better. Because it’s super.

    Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.

    Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.

    Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.

    The Seeker from Singularity is greatly under appreciated like the whole game. It fires a steerable bullet and slows time down while doing so.

    BTW, any smart asses that want to go “Well Ackchyually” that the gun shoots the whole bullet with the casing, it’s based on gyrojet guns.

    Flak cannon from unreal tournament 2004.

    Having a shotgun and a long range AOE explosive round was just too much fun.

          You should definitely play UT99, tho. Not as fast paced as 2004, but holds up incredibly well

            Oh I don’t doubt it.

            I just don’t play those types of games much anymore. Now that I’m an old man by gamer terms I prefer racing games or more relaxing coop games with friends. I’m less and less into fps games sadly. Used to be my bread and butter.

    Hypnosis from Withfire. Very satisfying sound with a beautiful reward of extreme damage
