7 Worst Guns You Don't Want in Your Armory

[@acnabbx1961]

You forget that the Kolibri has the highest headshot multiplier in the game for BF1. Sneaking up behind someone and doming them with a tiny gun will never not be funny

[@LET4M4RU]

even cranked up to eleven times the initial damage, I highly doubt its going to be any more significant than using a 1911 at this point lmao but yeah I completely agree on the fun side of the things, which is why this gun was initially added I guess

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

My favourite thing about the Slaught-O-Matic is the warning label: "Warranty valid for 20 rounds of preloaded ammunition". On a gun with 36 bullets in it:)

I feel the Lawgiver from Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death deserves an honorable mention. It's pretty comic-accurate, and not a bad weapon...except for all of the limitations the game puts on it: 1. The game is a Halo-clone, meaning you only have two weapon slots, and you can't drop your Lawgiver so that permanently takes up one of the slots. 2. Ammo for the Lawgiver is pretty sparse, and doesn't carry over between stages so if you have a surplus upon reaching the end of one level you lose it all once you start the next one. 3. The settings all consume different amounts of ammo, with the more destructive ones (like incendiaries and high-ex) devouring a good quarter or sometimes half of your reserve. Combine that with how sparse ammo is for the Lawgiver and you have a recipe for never wanting to use the gun to its fullest potential. 4. On top of point 3, the game's 'justice system' also penalizes you for using the more destructive settings on human enemies (which are in pretty much every level) so half the time you're stuck with either basic full-auto or armor piercing, as anything else risks lowering your justice meter and triggering a Non-Standard Game Over. 5. Multiplayer is even worse since the game also includes the comic's function of the Lawgiver exploding if anyone other than an authorized judge tries to fire it. This means if you're playing as the non-judge faction you can't do the usual thing of grabbing a downed opponent's weapons, as doing so will severely damage you or outright kill you the instant you pull the trigger.

Hey, The Liberator is awesome! It's a time-traveling weapon. The real one having been invented in 1942, and magically ending up in a game taking place in 1918. Oops! Also, it was purpose-built for one rebel member to take out one occupying _individual_ enemy, so that their better weapons and gear could be stolen. The Liberator then given over to another rebel so he could do the same thing with it. By the time the last round in the storage portion of the handle (not an actual magazine) was used up, the Liberator was ready for the scrap-heap. Each one intentionally made very cheap from junk metal, so that millions could be mass produced and given to French rebels fighting German troops. In reality, very few were air-dropped into occupied France. The program largely abandoned, even though the Liberator functioned as intended. A few years later, most of the ones that weren't melted down for scrap metal, were air-dropped into Asian nations to rebels friendly with the U.S. (Basically, the single-shot Liberator was never intended for battlefield use.)

[@BLS31]

They used a clip from battlefield V for that, which takes place during WW2.

For consideration of bad guns from video games: The Salvaged Assaultron Head gun from the Automatron DLC of Fallout 4. Yeah, it might deal some good damage to your foes, but it'll also irradiated the hell out of you at the same time. Which, if you're planning on using it against something that needs to be shot multiple times, can lead to you eventually dying from radiation sickness (mainly if you've already run out of Radaway while using this).

I love how, in Battlefield 1, they gave the Support class a bunch of giant machine guns... And also the pistol-calibre carbines.

Came here to talk about the k9000 from fallout. Glad you guys know what's good

[@phillipminer3554]

Or bad in this case.

[@Macrochenia]

The K9000 is still much better than its "upgrade" the FIDO. Swapping its ammo type over to more powerful but rarer, more expensive, and (in Survival Mode) heavier .44 Magnum is bad enough, but it also drops all the mods for the K9000, which means that you've also lost the boost to fire rate and thus your damage output is actually worse.

[@w415800]

The shoulder-mounted machinegun that fires 10mm rounds is worse imo.

[@hrodga]

It may be cruel to stuff a dog's brain into a gun, but what's done is done. Much crueler to leave it on the shelf instead of taking it for walkies.. it seems to enjoy the fighting as well. Also, I like to imagine that the courier takes it to someone that can build a body for it after the whole mess with the legion is over. It would have been nice if you could have used it to replace the brain from Rex in that one quest.

[@P3x310]

I like how some games use the bubble gun as a bit of a Magicarp meme gun: it's trash on lower levels, but dump enough time/xp/lvl ups into it and it becomes a Gyarados-equivalent death machine. Cave Story and Bears in Space comes to mind

[@gavinmaretzki6675]

An honorable mention I'd like to make is the sawed-off shotgun from Tom Clancy's The Division (the first one, and probably the second one too). It's a cover-shooter game, where the best distance to fight your enemies is the maximum effective distance of your weapon of choice. You get two primaries and a pistol, with primary options ranging from assault rifles, snipers, LMGs, and even SMGs. The main draw of long vs short range is that long range weapons are typically slower to shoot, but have higher damage per shot, while something like an SMG has incredibly high burst damage at dangerous ranges. There is very little reason to ever swap to a pistol, because they are short-to-medium range with less than stellar damage, with their main claim to fame being infinite ammo, which is a joke on account of the fact that most players will never experience running out of ammo if they aren't trying to. The sawed-off shotgun makes this worse on account of being a pistol-slot weapon, and needing to be within three steps of melee range to deal any damage. It's not even that terrible at its intended use distance, it's just got so many reasons why you would use something else that it's kind of hilarious to see someone using one in combat.

[@halomaxus]

Funny how they mentioned the Shotty from bl3 that you have to buy a dlc to get and even use and completely glossed over a gun called the Gettleburger, a rocket launcher that shoots cheese burgers that don't travel very far and barely even does good damage

[@candybeans]

At least the Gettleburger feeds you. Kind of. The real killer is heart disease.

[@corylim7351]

The laser pistol in robocop vs termiantor on the snes. It was way less effective than the normal robocop gun. The problem is when you travel to the future you get stuck with it as your default weapon. Just the worst.

[@stevencitrin4293]

No mention of the Assaultron Head Gun from Fallout 4 which irradiates the user and can’t be improved at a workbench. Also the Acid Soaker(Nuka-World)is the worst. The ammo has to be crafted and requires a ton of components for one single round. You also do more damage hitting your opponent with gun and also can’t be improved.

[@MartynWilkinson45]

The paddleball is worse. You can potentially do decent damage, but the only way to get ammo for it is the nukaworld carny games. Be cause my character can fashion a scope for a sniper rifle from old bean tins, but string is just beyond him.

From Fallout 1+2, the Red Rider BB Gun. While a decent starter weapon from Fallout 3 onward, in Fallout 1+2 it does 1-3 damage. Which is less then a 9mm Mauser (5-10). But there is the Red Rider Limited Edition BB Gun, which does a whopping 25 damage and uses the same ammunition.

[@zomburgerchef9587]

The night flyer could actually be really useful though. If you encounter a side quest which requires you to kill an enemy a certain way then you could use it to get the enemy one shot and then kill them however you need to. It could work in boss fights by whittling the enemy down then getting an easy second wind if you need to. Also the gettleburger might be one of the worst guns in borderlands history, and certain variations of the fibber.

If you angle the Miss Launcher, it will push the missile (effectively a grenade) out in a ballistic arc.

It also deals increased damage compared to standard missile launcher (by 20% IIRC), justifying that as propulsion charge fuel explosion, which is expended in the normal launch.

Miss launcher is a more appropriate entry for this list from fallout the the K9000 and it's upgrade. It is frustrating to use until you learn how to actually use it and then it still feels disappointing compared to the other explosives options, where the K9000 is a lovable companion even with it's disturbing origin, but that is still tame compared to other things, like the emotionally dependent semi-aware stealth suit you get in the same DLC.

heh, if joke weapons counter... Star Trek Online recently added a "joke" weapon that shoots hyposprays instead of bullets. Yes... shoot ALLIES, not enemies. 'cause it heals your targets.

​@@marhawkman303​I don't believe the syringer rifle was meant to be a joke weapon, but a way to open up more "tactics" (for example, sneakily frenzieng an enemy in a group causing chaos). It just doesn't work most of the time rendering it not worth the time to craft the ammo

[@marhawkman303]

@@HeinerGunnar The one I'm talking about is useless firing at enemies, you NEED to fire at allies with it since it's designed to heal your target.

[@HeinerGunnar]

@@marhawkman303 yeah I got that. But you replied to a comment about Fallout 4's syringer rifle with "if joke weapons count". And like I said, the syringer isn't meant to be a joke weapon

@@HeinerGunnar It's not? interesting... perhaps I misunderstood.

Doesn't the Slaught o matic come with a warning not to shoot more than 20 rounds despite its 36 round capacity? That's icing on the cake.

[@mulrich]

Nah, it says its warranty only covers twenty rounds, so if something goes wrong with any of the remaining sixteen rounds, you're out of luck.

I liked the Cyberdog Gun in FalloutNV, it was perfect for chewing through the massive amounts of .38 ammo stockpiled by that point in game, along with Rex meant we could have TWO dogs! If I had to pick a bizarre weapon that is still a gun and actually bad at shooting, I'd probably do the Recharger Rifle. It refills ammo so you don't need bullets, however it's excessively weight heavy, does minimal damage and takes 7 full seconds to reload from empty. I'd suggest using it as a weighted club if it weren't for the fusion reactor being the reason for the weight, so you never know, a misfire could also mean a little nuclear explosion in your face in the midst of battle if it's anything like the cars in game.

The night flier is super helpful if you're wanting to grind melee kills or multi-kills, though. Or if you're playing through any of the side missions they require you to melee enemies to death. Or if you're playing with some who just sucks at the game and you want to make them feel good about themselves without kill-stealing. Or if you just want to f*CK with someone unfamiliar with the game 🤣

So basically, what you're telling me, is the Slaught-O-Matic is essentially the Tediore of Cyberpunk 2077?

[@KingdomKey-ik4xk]

Except Tediore actually deals damage when thrown. 😂

Starting and ending the list with Borderlands is a brilliant choice. Get it out the way early and surprise ending!

There are truly some awful guns in gaming. GTA 5 has a bunch I can think of, like the musket, which is self-explanatory, or the Perico pistol in GTA Online which fires one bullet every.. 4000 years.
