Yeah its like using a pellet gun. You are right there are always challenge weapons in games and some might be fun or others even worth it despite the cons it has, but a gun like this is just pure garbage. I don't even like the larger axes in Skyrim (forgot what they're called--the ones between the regular small axes and the warhammers). They look pretty, but they end up hanging on my wall rather than staying in my inventory. The other problem with these larger weapons is their weight. I have a hard time keeping my inventory weight under control as it is. Carrying heavy weapons makes it worse. With "challenge weapons," the only thing that ever motivates me to use them is if they are really satisfying when you get them to work out, i.e. the gauntlet in Quake 3 Arena. Managing to make a run at your enemy and shred them with a handheld saw is very pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and most of the time, you tend to miss. Out of all the two-handed weapons in any games I can remember playing, It is the most pointless one.

A useless weapon in videogames its the Mozambique in Apex Legends, a little bit of background first : your health is based on 100 points , the Mozambique its like a hand gun shotgun, it only fires three rounds with 3 bullets in each round , the 3 bullets are sent out in a triangle shape, supposedly if you accurately hit the target its going to make 45 points of damage. The problem is that if you only land one of the 3 bullets its only going to make about 10-15 damage and if you hit the arm or the legs is going to be about a 5-10 damage, recharging the thing is too slow and since its a shotgun obviously the farther your target the more the bullets spread out and the less damage they make. That is a pretty horrible weapon but I'm not surprised an EA game would have such a ridiculously useless weapon. You'd have to be like Vash Stampede from Trigun or Bullseye from Daredevil - both of whom possess God-like accuracy with projectile weapons to kill anyone with it and you'd have to mainly aim for your opponent's head and neck. I bet those pellets spread out the further you are from your opponent which makes it extremely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its mostly Respawn fault, but yeah you have to be very very close to make a decent shotgun damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had that weapon, I'd just resort to knifing people if I can't find another gun in time...I mean it seems you stand a better chance trying to engage someone in close quarters combat than using that thing. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing is to just ditch it once you find something else, but yeah I have killed guys that use the Mozambique with just my fist the damage they make with it is pathetic. I have seen videos on Youtube of guys trying to win a match with that gun only and its pretty hilarious xD they do win sometimes but they tend to resort to other tactics as well.

In most games, you'll find at least one weapon that is useless in regular combat but they are great for certain situations. The pickaxe from Skyrim sounds more useful than that XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does about the same damage as a weak standard axe at this point. So it’s not great, but it’s a usable weapon. Very helpful for killing people in Markarth.

The Blackangel Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Another useless weapon is the magic powder in Zelda: A Link To The Past. There is only one time you need it, and that's in the bats cave next to the blacksmiths house. Other than that, unless you just enjoy playing with it, you will never use it again. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. The tyrfing in Castlevania: SOTN makes no sense as well. it's a cursed sword that when you get it, has an attack of zero. It will not do a single point of damage no matter how many times you strike. You have to level way the hell up before it takes on an attack value. Why the hell would they even put something like that in the game? Exactly what purpose does it serve other than to waste space in my inventory?

I enchanted mine with drain health and paralyze and it could take down pretty much anything in Skyrim - even dragons. Wait - what am I talking about? A Mammoth or Giant can take down a dragon... 39 minutes ago, The Blackangel said: Another useless weapon is the magic powder in Zelda: A Link To The Past.

I don't even know where to get a fork in the game. I'm trying to picture seeing one anywhere, and I can't. lots of bowls everywhere, but not a lot of forks. Do you recall where you found/bought it? Aside from the pickaxe, my silliest weapon is a wooden sword which I leveled as high as it will go and put a Soul Trap enchantment on. It's still a really weak weapon, so I need to make sure I really am down to like the last hit or two before I try to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
