Strongest video game weapons.

Like the topic title says, what do you think are the strongest/best attacks/weapons characters you control can use in any video game?

Mine are:
The Shadow Rifle in Shadow the Hedgehog.
Squall's Lion Heart limit break in Final Fantasy VIII (Though it requires a bit of luck.)
Tidus and Wakka's overdrives when you have Break Damage Limit in Final Fantasy X.
Ultimate Armor and Absolute Zero hyper modes from Megaman X Command Mission
Knights of the Round summon in Final Fantasy VII. (Seriously, when you get this materia and have Mime, you really do not need to level up for anything anymore.)

So, what about you guys? What do you think are the strongest attacks, or as I like to call them "You-don't-need-to-have-strategy-anymore-just-use-this" weapons.

Fully upgraded drill with damage tonics included in BioShock 2.

Wrench in BioShock with all damage tonics active and all research damage bonuses (you can beat a Big Daddy to death with about four hits)

Grenade launcher in Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2

The Spartan laser in Halo 3. Let's see, a weapon that can shoot through walls. That counts as a n00b tube if ever there was one.

Cloud's Level 4 limit break - Omnislash! FF7's version I think is the best looking coz of the crashing sound as each critical hit lands. Alothough his Kingdom Hearts and Advent Children versions look pretty cool too.

Final Fantasy summon Bahamut. Every Bahamut summon looks impressive and when he whips out the Mega Flare...run if you can but you know it'll waste you no matter how far you get!

Samus's Zero Lazer from SSBB! Unless you are behind her, there is very little chance of escaping her Final Smash coz it pretty much fills the battle screen. I mean c'mon! It's so powerful it destroys her Varia Suit!

Obligatory BFG 9000 reference. You do know what the acronym stands for, right?

The Shield Rod + Alucard Shield in Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, when you have this, you just have to run into enemies with your shield up and its game over for them.

The Cain from Mass Effect 2. Who doesn't love mini-nuke launchers?

The FAEB in the Ace Combat series. Overkill is an understatement.

Soul Calibur, from Soul Calibur III, what could be better than a sword that not only is extremly powerful but it also heals you every time you hit your opponent i.e., you use this in a muliplayer match and it will be considered cheating

the Rynos in Ratchet in Clank. short for Rip You A New One. the most powerful of them was probably the ryno 4. 900 fracking laser beams that racked up mega mega bolts abnd kill anything they touch.

PokÈmon Mystery Dungeon 2: Spacial Rend, Charge+Discharge combo - These two allow you to slaughter hordes of enemies (if they are in the same room) very, very quickly.

Total Annihilation: ARM Annihilator - expensive/slow to build, slow rate of fire, sucks down 2,000 energy each shot and the barrel is slow to track. But it has great range, does extreme damage (kills almost anything in one blow) and the projectile moves extremely fast

Total Annihilation: ARM Vulcan - VERY expensive/slow to build, sucks down 5,000+ energy at full throttle and the barrel moves very slowly. But it has great range, a very fast rate of fire and the shells do major damage. If you get it built within range of an enemy base, you can completely level it in short order.

Plants Vs. Zombies - Cob Cannon. Requires 700 sun but each missile can instantly kill several zombies. Only problem is that it takes a while to reload.

The Spirit Bomb in any of the Dragon Ball Z games, can take off at least one or two bars from your opponent's health bar with ease.

The Fat Man from Fallout 3, the ability to launch mininukes at your opponents.....downside is that you can also get hurt/killed if standing too close to the blast XD

There's a lovely little unit mod for TA called the TAUCP that brings a lovable Super Krogoth to the fray. The Karganeth is essentially a game winner if you build one, since he pretty much ruins everything in his path. Everything!

Whole armies, buildings, defenses, commanders, houses, trees, planets, washing machines, your pet hamster... all gone. Still my favourite all time unit in any RTS ever.

While not quite a weapon, the GTVA Colossus and the SJ Sathanas from the Freespace series were quite possibly the most powerful ships ever to grace a space-sim. The Colossus alone was six kilometers from end to end.

The Executor in Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. It's the biggest, most powerful unit in galactic conquest, and apart from driving it into an asteroid field there isn't much that can stop it.

The Great Knife from Silent Hill 2, when in the prision James(the protagonist) can enter the place where Pyramid Head lives and take the Great Knife, its not to user-friendly but it can kill most of the monsters in one hit.

In Age Of Empires III ,if you enter the code "Tuck Tuck Tuck" you'll get a monster truck that is capable of leveling an enemy base in seconds, and who says Napoleon didn't have that during the French And Indian War.

Would have been nicer if you actually were able to move while holding the dang thing

Actually never mind, you don't even hold it, you DRAG it. Still was epic though, being able to lug that huge thing around.

Ah yes! A weapon so powerful that it not only destroys EVERY enemy in the room, but also kills you and the game if you don't have a shield up. (Seriously, it's the only explanation I can think of for the game freezing on me after I fired with it.)

F-14 Ace · **Reply #17 on:** May 29, 2010, 04:02:08 AM

The ray gun in Call of Duty: World at War. This thing appears mainly in the zombie level but it also appears in the level called "Little Resistance" right after you arrive on the beach. This thing can kill any enemy in the level with a single hit, including the Japanese tanks at the end. :blink:

Hell-Fire from TimeShift. Submachine pistol that lights stuff on fire, has a built-in flamethrower, and can kill almost any infantry in the game in less than 5 hits.

MrDrake · **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2010, 04:32:53 AM

The Contact Beam from Dead Space. Can kill almost all enemies in one shot. I believe only one can survive being shot from it once.

I am also tempted to say Adam West's Cat Launcher, but sadly, it's not from a game
