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
And Rage Wars.
Came here looking for this
The split screen multiplayer where one person would be a monkey while the others hunted it was so much fun. I can see the cerebral bore squirting monkey brains so clearly in my mind.
I’m kinda torn between Unreal Tournament’s (ut99) sniper rifle, flak cannon and the instagib variant of the shock rifle.
Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.
Definitely the flak cannon. But I also really liked th3 disk gun, especially the sound of disks flying past you.
The flak canon was a ton of fun, but I have a special fondness for the slime gun. Primary fire leaving a bunch of slime balls around was hilarious, as was running around with the secondary charged up, just hoping to run face first into someone and fire it at point-blank range, killing you both. Strategic or tactically sound? No. But hilarious.
I was just about to answer OP with “any ut99 weapon”. Even the backup melee one was great in the right situation.
Though my favourite of them is probably the rocket launcher, but only by a thin margin. Mostly because my favourite map was always the small dojo one (morbias][), and that only has rockets and the occasional redeemer. Just pure death match all the time…
Ye. Ut99 weapons were pretty much all great. Personally I didn’t really like the goo gun, but others made it an absolute beast. The sniper rifle ended up being hilariously good at range and stupidly deadly at close range as headshots seemed to trigger on any hit above belly. The buzzaw throwing thing was nifty for the bouncing shots, but iir the headshots with that required hits to the forehead… Which still cut the heads off from the neck. Felt weird that
I guess the default pistol was a bit weak, but dual pistols was decent upgrade to it.
Translocator kills were most satisfying for me, but flak cannon was most useful.
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
I loved the kar98k even more. My friend and I would one v one on small maps only using this weapon. So much fun. And the single player sniper missions with it were great.
why am I laughing at this I don’t even get it
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
10mm HV Penetrator from F.E.A.R
https://fear.fandom.com/wiki/10mm_HV_Penetrator
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.
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.
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
Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.
Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.
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
I just got a classic FPS tattoo from my friend I used to play these games with. I got something from the original Doom. I’ve always wanted a mushroom tattoo though and I think it will be the mushroom powerup from Rise of the Triad.
Ooooohhhh, the true connoisseur’s choice.
