Most Iconic Video Game Weapons

[Pendulous]

The BFG of course!

Hmmm.....

Toadstool's "Frying Pan" in Super Mario RPG was the first thing to come to mind. Given the best setup, you never use her for offense, but it was her best weapon. A frying pan.

The other thing that came to mind was Frank in Shadow Hearts: From the New World. He literally stuck a hilt on whatever object he could find, be it a stop sign or a freaking cactus. Yeah, that's how you upgraded his weapons.

Rocket Launcher from Quake 3.

Best weapon ever. Well, aside from the flak cannon from the UT series.

[Rec]

of course the golden gun from golden eye, cant believe it hasnt been said yet.

Can't believe it took that long to mention it either. Probably the most iconic gun in video games.

Weren't priests basically the only thing that could do anything about Teutonic Knights? I seem to remember those guys being just comically overpowered.

Nah they were fodder for my cavalry archers. But yes, any melee vs fully upgraded elite TK's and it was over before it started.

My vote goes to Solid Snake's hands and his CQC. No man has broken more necks/bones or given more sleeper holds.

Other than the Energy Sword, I don't remember what any of those weapons look like in any of those games haha. Well, and the AK-47 obviously. I wouldn't call them iconic weapons. ;P

You had a terrible childhood, then

I tossed in the Halo sword because console gamers wouldn't have any freaking clue what the rest of those are, except maybe the Cerebral Bore since the Turok games were console games that had terrible PC ports.

ak47 and m4a1 get a nod as Counter-Strike weapons, because as far as I'm aware, Counter-Strike was the first and by far the most popular shooter to feature those weapons. Up to that point, we were still largely looking at Quake, Doom, and Unreal for our guns, and all three games go for energy weapons and more exotic guns than realistic weapons.

Bullshit. One Priest can't possibly convert an entire-



Actually, that's quite effective.

[Howard Moon]

Hey, you can't do th- HEY WAIT A MIN- yeah that seems like a pretty legit weapon to me.

Oh god, that brought some lovely memories...

WOLOLOOO!

[Clockwork Pinkie]

Chainsaw, from any game with one in it, from Doom to Lollipop Chainsaw, using one of those as a weapon is always a fun time.

Also [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]

[Yunru]

How could you forget the ATOMIC TOASTER!!!!!


And Bazzoka + Bio pistol from gunman chornicles.

I seriously cant believe nobody posted this iconic weapon:

[Sorrior]

that is all.

THANK YOU. Finally someone lse who thinks of the Rip You a New Ones.

[BoomChickn]

Oh god, that brought some lovely memories...

WOLOLOOO!

The moment I heard those guys... it was gtfo and get some cavalry around them. I love how they could be upgraded to convert buildings, although I found that upgrade near useless...

And teutonic knights... slow as hell but killing anything in the way. The REAL man's siege weapon!

Lightsaber - Star Wars
Crowbar - Half Life
Portal Gun - Portal
Arm Cannon - Metroid

I feel like the molotovs from Left 4 Dead are really iconic. Not because there haven't been molotovs in other games, but they just fit the setting so well and feel more real in L4D than in other games with molotovs, to me anyway.

Also the grenade launcher and various magnums (usually revolvers, sometimes .50 or .45 semi-auto handguns) from Resident Evil games. Though really I guess that also means the Baretta M92F pistol. It's a real world pistol of course, but for some reason it's almost always the starting pistol (one way or another) in RE games and is frequently used in the cutscenes.

I know, i'm such a fucking hipster.
