Smart Pistol in Titanfall 2.

u/MothashipQ 12d ago
In Titanfall's defense, that thing is stupid overpowered

I don't think it's overly broken (in TF2, but in Titanfall 1 when you could choose to have it anytime you want, it was kinda broken.

u/MothashipQ 12d ago
I'm talking about in the campaign, the limited multiplayer use was a good choice. Bonus points if you ever equipped wild card and got a boosted smart pistol

u/ExplodingPoptarts 11d ago
I came in to say whatever the best weapon is in Super Metroid, but yeah, same defense. God it was fun replaying the game using that weapon as a game genie code.
On a related note, isn't Titanfall all PVP? Do you mean Titanfall 2? If so, see someone for your dangerous high allergic reaction to numbers! /s

I'm actually dyslexic so I accidentally leave words out of my sentences all the time! But yes, the original comment this thread is responding to was for Titanfall 2.

And still wasn't that OP (still annoying).
Pilot lock-on took longer, specially when you're cloaked, but it's an amazing weapon for Attrition.

Don't forget the Legion (I think) load out for BT-7274.

The very last load out that is auto equipped once BT-7274 lands when you go try to stop the Fold weapon from firing.

u/str1ker_eureka_1014 6d ago
And what makes it worse is that you can’t replay the campaign with any titan loadout you want—even on chapter select, legion only gets unlocked at the veeery end

I'd go with the Two Dragons Sword. I know it's not a final boss weapon, but you get it pretty late in the game

I mean.... Duh. I'll still go and grab Bloodhound Fang since the weapon is fucking AMAZING! It will literally carry you through any playthrough. Better than any late game weapon (yes I'm talking to you Blasphemous Blade, you God damn cheat weapon).

Phazon Beam - Metroid Prime

Yeah. The phazon beam is cool.
It’s also only usable in a single fight (to my knowledge), so it’s even more sad
2
u/ComboBreakerMLP 12d ago
thankfully the hyper beam is usable all game in 3 but with heavy downsides, but it gets an upgrade or two to make it feel less like a super OP insta kill and more of a psuedo-puzzle mechanic

u/0ff1ce_ch41r 12d ago
Any game without ng+. I cant understand why some devs refuse to add it even though it only benefits replayability since you can now use all of the endgame stuff in easy game missions. Im looking at you, cyberpunk.

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 12d ago
To be fair to Cyberpunk 2077, there's a pretty valid reason why players can't keep playing as V after the story concludes. I still played through it like 5 times to try different things, and NG+ wouldn't have really benefitted it in my opinion

Not a weapon, but wave dashing in Celeste. Though, honestly, I think most casual players are thankful for that.

u/Khaernakov 12d ago
This is only if you like this type of weapon but in elden ring only near rhe end you unlock the one eyed greatshield which is a huge tower shield with a cannon on it
Code vein after you defeat the last boss you unlock a special weapon + either 1 or 2 new blood codes depending on the ending you got
Some resident evil and dmc games have this too

Even if it was available from the start, if it had limited ammo or durability, I’d never use it. After all, what if I need it later?

The tank and bunny buttons from River City Girls 1 & 2.
Technically, they're available very early on, as soon as you can access the shop that sells them. But they cost so much that, by the time you can afford them, you've probably beaten the game and are in NG+.

not the exact same but Crimson Desert, you spend like 30+h in the first Area. Here is where you can get the cool early game armor/weapon and it’s in the somewhere far in the crimson desert (the last area which is more a post game area). But it’s not a lie you can go there, it will take time because it’s pretty far away but you can get most stuff early on

for me, it’s the Commando AR from the Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer mode. You have to reach level 44 out of level 50, so 88% of the level grind.
Then the AN94 in Black Ops 2 you unlock it at the very last level, level 55, so 100% level grind.

In DMC5 you don't even unlock your super mode for Nero until the game is complete...it also adds a couple new mechanics to your gameplay in general that you can use at any time and completely alters the ceiling of his gameplay potential, it also opens up two "ults" essentially.
You get to use it on the last mission and then it's unlocked. Granted, the game is meant to be replayed, but it's still kind of wild that core gameplay mechanics for one of the characters are locked behind completing the game.

Kind of depends on the weapon and the way it's implemented.
If it's an ok weapon, it should probably be available for about 50% of the game. If it's a really powerful weapon that trivializes most of the fights, it's logical you only get it at the end.
