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.
It was in Turok 2 too!
I definitely read that as Turok Tutu
That’s Turok 4
Came here looking for this
That’s a deep cut and I’m so glad you said it
M1 Garand in the old Call of Duty games.
Love me a quick single shot rifle and the iconic ping sound when it reloads is just chef’s kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lezq2l-Z_wc
oof good answer
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2
Undeniable classic. Not much more satisfying than hucking a file cabinet at a group of people who don’t see you yet.
Also, the trip mines were fun to use in smaller games (just like the Duke3d ones).
Soooo creative. Those saw blades were classic.
The flak cannon from Unreal. It’s just a more fun and innovative type of shotgun with grenade launcher.
railgun, red faction
Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?
Yup. In multiplayer, I used to blow a crater in the floor with explosives and then sit in the hole with the rail gun, shooting people through the floor.
The pepper way to play!
Yesssss. I also loved the pistol in that game. It was one of the first games i came across where the pistol was just as deadly (in the right hands) as most anything else you could get.
Side note, why the fuck don’t we have games with destructible environments anymore? I know BF4 has it, but the only other FPS I can think of that did it as well as red faction was ‘Black’ in 2006.
I used to play RF2 multiplayer on GameCube with my brother when we were kids. We’d go onto that space map and try to snipe each other from across the map with the railgun.
The early RF games are really underrated.
10mm HV Penetrator from F.E.A.R

thunk thunk thunk thunk
Man I bought F.E.A.R. recently for like a dollar on GOG and I really want to play it, but I don’t want SecuROM malware all over my system.
Download a cracked version. You’ve already bought a license.
The graphics dated fairly quickly but I believe the ai, combat and atmosphere should still be excellent.
Seems like SecuROM won’t install from playing singleplayer:
https://www.gog.com/forum/fear_series/gogs_blatant_lies_regarding_securom_in_fear/page4Even that thread is full of mixed messages but I guess I’ll just risk it.
Super Shotgun from Doom 2, love the feeling when you shoot it.
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.
I was hoping someone would mention the disc launcher!
We used to play the shareware version on the school computers whenever we had free time. Shazbot!
We still playin its free now
In one match I got two air disc kills over 300m. I was a god damn sniper with that thing.
A feel-good lifetime memory!
Flak cannon from unreal tournament 2004.
Having a shotgun and a long range AOE explosive round was just too much fun.
Flak cannon on original UT was better, by my opinion.
I’m a 93 baby. 2004 2as my first unreal game. I never went back and played the original sadly.
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.
Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.
Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.
Farsight from Perfect Dark
What about the laptop turret, that was a fun one!
I almost said the Laptop Gun too. That game was full of cool and original weapons, second only to the Turok series
The Heavy’s mini gun is so satisfying to use. Just pick a direction and spray.
I especially like Heavy’s “bratatata” after a while hahaha
Unreal had a gun that shot saw blades that bounced off of surfaces. That was fun.
The Goo Gun in Fortnite was also great it sprayed a sticky goo that exploded after a few seconds
Force-a-Nature
Ooo, that’s inspiring. Maybe my answer should be Sasha…
The sub-machine gun with grenade launcher in Half Life. such a vital tool.
MP5 I think. All the weapons in half life were very satisfying to use.
