most useless weapon

The dart gun is a very useful weapon. In my opinion, it easily out ranks the Railgun, shotgun, nailgun, and maybe even the super nail gun.

Before you throw rotten tomatos at me, though, look up useful. Are you going to get a kill with it?

I hope to god not.

However. You can tranq someone, and spin around them and back stab them as a spy, if they arn't in a corner or a HWguy. Or me, because I just too dead sexy to be tranq-stabbed.

Don't ask.

Anyway. The worst weapon, past the crowbar(And even that is somewhat useful at times, aka, when you step on a goofy feigning spy.) Is probably either the railgun, or just the normal shotgun. The railgun is useful for killing off SGs, yea, but not players, save a shanking from the back. The shotgun can be useful at a few random times: See, when you are out of ammo and arn't in crowbar range. They are close, but really there are no useless weapons. But one of those are usually more useless than the rest.

actually if you think about it, any weapon is useful if the person using it has the skill to match and make it useful.

how can you spin a drugged-up target around?

Spin around them, not spin them around. Aka, circle-stab them.

Kind of like the dreaded lag-frontstab.

The most useless weapon (ranged weapon) is most definitely the railgun... it's only really good for taking out SGs, but the stupid green trail it leaves tells EVERY NME exactly where you are... at least the shotty or super shotty won't tell them where the fire is coming from instantly...

And besides, how many engies are the ones to go take out SGs? A primarily defensive class having a weapon only good for taking down defenses... useless....

I've found that the most useless weapon is whichever one I have equipped at any given time.

The Railgun is nifty for killing SGs because it has such a long range. It's most useful on a big open map like Warpath, of course.

Then there's the classic Engie trick where you start taking potshots at someone from a safe distance. They assume that you are a n00b (since you are trying to kill them with the Most Useless Weapon), and chase after you looking for an easy kill. The Engie backpedals, luring the enemy around a corner . . . where a sentry is waiting for them.

I would have to say that the useless weapon is the shotty. Since I primarily use Soldier you are hardly ever going to see me pull out the shotty. Hell, I use my Crowbar more than my shotty.

how can u dis the shotty it rocks even when im soldier i use it if i run out of ammo. auto rifle rules it rips through snipers spies, medics, and engies and its so accurate.
the most useless weapon has to be the railgun because it i sreally just a gun that shoots slow moving light that does no damage

My vote for most useless weapon would have to be the caltrops. Any idiot can just jump over them and they are annoying as all hell to kill with.
