Favourite Unreal weapons... and the ones you want to see go.

[SteadZ]

I wanted to ask you people what your favourite Unreal 1 weapons are (from favourite to least) and also which ones you would want to see leave the game. Also what is it you like about some of the weapons, and what kind of situations do you use them for?

thanks

Flak Cannon and the rest is silence. I'm a bit like UT's Barktooth.

Razorjack is my favourite weapon since its headshot is powerful and you can hit enemies behind corners. Top tier stuff.

Minigun is the worst of the worst. Can be replaced with the CAR.


EDIT: The Dispersion Pistol is also an excellent weapon, but requires skills to use.

Agree about the minigun, I'll take that into account.

Yeah, the Flak Cannon is great for ripping those Skaarj Bastards to pieces

In order; Flak Cannon, Stinger, Razorjack, And Suck My D1ck, 8ball Gun, Rifle, Green Explosive Shit. As for RTNP goes I like the CAR and Rocket Launcher.

I just feel like the Stinger and Dispersion Pistol really belong in Unreal for some reason.

The flak is my favorite. The primary fire has a clearly defined use and feels as powerful as it is. Lining up the perfect arc with the secondary fire feels rewarding which is important.

The grenade launcher is hands down the most enjoyable of the RTNP weapons.

My least favorite would be the dispersion pistol. Its slow projectile is easily dodged but its real issue is the limited ammunition. Waiting around for it to recharge takes too long. It gets the job done when shooting open the occasional box but as an actual weapon it is beyond useless. If the weapon had infinite ammo it would still be bad. In many cases in Unreal I think it would be faster to ignore and run past enemies then to fight them with the dispersion pistol.

In ONP the Dispersion pistol has infinite ammo, but yeah, at it's first stage it is pretty useless except as a box breaker and a substitute flashlight. At it's last stage though you can kill a Krall with one shot. It's also good for getting flies, tentacles, mantas etc.

Has also the best range and can deal enemies found far away without them noticing you. Lvl5 + Infinite ammo would be hilariously broken because the damage is already really high.

RTNP RL is also really... bad. That weapon and the Grenade Launcher feel very weak in general. The GL is at least good to throw light targets into a pit or something.

Flak cannon is probably the most rewarding weapon beyond doubt.
Yeah the warheadlauncher kicks ass but luckily it's not frequently available.
Practically every weapon has its use and that's one of the very strong points of Unreal; basically you're forced to use every weapon in different situations so ammo conservation adds that bit of strategy to the game. One of the weapons I hardly ever used was the biowaste gun, it's only in the last 2 years or so that I've found out how to put it to good use.
And an old time favourite of mine is the (sniper) rifle, always keep one bullet available so that you can use it to aim, and then switch to another weapon. It the only binoculars available in the game.

Generally the DP is considered a mediocre asset (if it is even considered an asset) but as I have frequently tried to point out (and received confirmation now and then) it's a life saver since it's one the the most mutifunctional utilities around:
- gives light when there's no flashlight or searchlight available
- useful from distance to weaken an opponent (in such a way that your opponent doesn't even know where you are)
- with powerups it becomes a medium strong weapon
- splash damage so useful around corners or behind obstacles (useful for finding out if somethng is lurking out of sight)
- no ammo pickups are necessary
- it can open boxes and destroy some obstacles
- and never forget that you can kill a Slaarjlord with it as long as you've got some room to move. It takes a lot of time but it's better to fight long than to die fast.
Contrary to popular belief, my feeling is that Xenome: First Day before the patch, is the map(pack) which shows how powerful the DP (unlimited ammo) is (on the whole). I've never tried it but it must be possible to finish X with only the DP even though it's not an easy pack.

As for RTNP, the CAR was a good addition but that GL and RL never did the job for me (although those marines seem to be able to control it pretty well).
