10 Ordinary Objects That Make Great Video Game Weapons

[@Ariurotl]

Baldur's Gate 3 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon let you wield salami as a weapon and that is an easy #1 for me.

I have actually seen someone wielding a (blunt) metal fan before in a martial arts setting. No, they are not thrown at enemies like a boomerang (letting go of your weapon in battle is a really dumb decision unless you have a REALLY good reason to do so), but they do seem like they could act as a very good hidden weapon of the short-range, slicing variety. Also, there are fan forms that do involve tossing the fan... But it's generally tossed vertically up in the air. Not sure the point of that move as far as combat goes; maybe to distract the opponent?

In the Halo3 multilayer, if a grenade went off near the right objects, the objects could move fast enough they could kill players; including a traffic cone. It would list this once the game was over too.

Actually you could use the broom in Assassin’s Creed 2. It was strangely satisfying to kill a Templar with a broom! Though I did use to kill those annoying minstrel’s that’s way too. Great way to get your frustration out!😂

If you think the fan is unusual, there are in fact proper combat fans out there, something that the Utawarerumono protagonists frequently make use of. If you want really strange, try flower or coins from Persona 2.

#04 is also pretty useful for cooling herself and Chie down on a hot day.

In WWE 2K24 you can use a giant Slim Jim as a weapon.

It's KZbin so...can't post everything. What about the giant dildo from Saints Row III ? 😂

[@Lespaulman987]

Also Dead Rising 2, GTA SA 😂

[@D00dlebugInc]

The thing I love most about this comment is your seeming confession that a giant dildo is an ordinary object to you. And also that I came here to comment the same thing lol

[@infernas]

The briefcase from Hitman needs to be here as well.

[@chrisjfinlay]

It was featured in the intro

[@infernas]

@@chrisjfinlay oh, my bad.

[@mattalan6618]

Assassins Creed Origin lets you wield a giant Q-Tip as a weapon. its DLC but it still counts

[@dylanogg347]

Tsubasa Kazanari could make better use of #06 if it weren't for her haphazard driving skills...

[@dylanogg347]

#02 is highly approved by Joey Tribbiani and Ross Geller.

[@chrisbellon3739]

They have battle fans in other games or some time Kung fu movie

about #4= if it worked for Queen Kitana (Mortal Kombat) and Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury/King Of Fighters) it can work for anyone willing to learn how... tho it's FAR tougher in real life, NGL!

Sad not to see the electric guitar in Left4Dead2 making an appearance.
