Useless Video Game Weapons

[InvivnI]

The triple green shell was a decent shield against red shells and other weapons too.

I'm trying to think of crap weapons now. I guess the pistol in the 3D GTA games was pretty crap too. I mean, once you get the better weapons do you ever consider using it again?

Dumbfounded that green shell is number one. It just requires you to calculate the right trajectory as opposed to blindly unloading shells. The ricochet is a lethal weapon, in the right hands. Also very useful as a sacrificial meat shield against red shells or bananas.

It is useful for when you form an alliance, or Kart Gang if you will, and you need to watch your friendly fire.
Many a time has my heart skipped a beat when I see those three red shells pop-up, firing them off in a righteous fashion, only to realize in horror as my friend turns to me, his heart breaking and face contorted in pure incomprehension as he realizes it was me who did this....it was me.

I'd rather have a green shell than a banana peel any day.

The Needler (not the sniper version)

Pretty much this on Halo Reach legendary Difficulty....

There isn't a sniper version of the needler though, is there? I've played Halo: Reach and the only covenent sniper weapon was that lame sentinel beam thing.

there is indeed a weapon called the needler rifle; and you're thinking of the focus rifle, thundercurls (no, i don;t KNOW this, i just checked my halo reach stats on bungie's website)

What about the Poke in Worms? Pretty god damn useless, especially since the Dragon Punch is usually infinite.

Wait, the Klobb was the most useless weapon they found in Goldeneye?

Couldn't the impact hammer be used for jumping and instant-kills? I remember it in one of the UT games being pretty good. At least it was better than the Q1 axe.

I used to do the translocator thing a lot, it was a godsend and if you were half decent you could use it to save yourself from a fall if I remember correctly.

There was a certain map in UT, can't remember what it was called (Warehouse maybe?), but it had a box with a shield on it and to get up on the box you'd go between a wall and the box to get to a smaller box to jump up. Anyway, every now and then I used to wait near the little box with the impact hammer and rack up like 10 kills on players trying to get to the shield before they'd catch on. I thought it was hilarious because as they came around the corner they would've shat their pants but it was too late and they'd be gibbed. Made up for all the times they used to kill me with multi-fire rockets while camping at respawn points.

I think the bubble blower gun in Just Cause 2 has to be the most useless weapon.

(skip to 30 seconds to miss my fart-arsing around to get the gun)

Damn that gun has some major recoil!

The cannon mounted on the Septic Avenger in Saints Row 2 is really useless - just sprays and knocks people back with a torrent of raw sewage ....
