View Full Version : Favourite obscure weapon

I hope this hasn't been done before, but anyway... I want to know what your favourite "unsung" weapons are. No J Swords, Lavis Cannon's or Heaven Punishers. Weapons that kick ass or look cool but aren't uber. I felt inspired to do this topic as I recently found a Yasminkov 3000R and I love it but I keep hearing about the same old weapons. Please let me know your faves.

Yas 2000. Definately. I just love handguns, and the 2000 is so unsung, no one every uses it. Oh, and the good old fashioned plain as day DOUBLE SABER. The ultimate FO accessory! Ha ha ha...

I've found that the Rappy's Fan is an easy to find, yet hard to replace Slicer-type weapon. It's my personal slicer of choice-- it's even reasonably effective in Ultimate.

Other than that... Whenever I play in a team with Dragoon, I like to borrow a Demolition Comet from him. It's a very powerful Double Saber, and it generally takes Meira from around 1600 ATP or so with her Red Daggers, to about 1900 ATP.

I'd really like to get her an S-Rank Claw though, and call it "Meira's Claw", though. We have Nei's Claw, and we have Rika's Claw, how about Meira's Claw?
Albeit, I do seem to prefer to use Daggers with her... S-Beril's Hands #1 are rather neat. Big fists that are used like daggers, and they've even got Photon Camoflauge(sp?) on them. Why didn't Sonic Team make an armor that gives a character Photon Camo? That would've been rather interesting.

I also love the bog-standard photon launcher. Slow as hell but it just looks cool!!!

I love the way my RAmar runs with a Guilty Light or Red Scorpio.

Game Magazine, or as they like to spell it in PSO, Game Magazne. ^_^;

Coolest weapon evar! Nothing more awesome than seeing a HUcast swinging a wand type weapon like a FOnewearl lol!

Naagata_Clan
Jan 14, 2004, 01:09 PM
You know, I never found a standard Photon Launcher... probably because of my section IDs... but I have found both the Guilty Light and Red Scorpio... Oh another unsung weapon I think is just cool... INFERNO BAZOOKA. People don't like it because it only hits 1 target, but I think it looks nice on my RAcaseal...

Kraida
Jan 14, 2004, 01:09 PM
I'm a massive fan of the Elysion. One of the best looking swords ever! If only my RAcast could use it....

Butoden
Jan 14, 2004, 01:12 PM
I liked Blade Dance, because it would unfold!
But after seeing the G.Assasins Sabers, now those look even more cool, since they unfold slowly!! And of course, Twin Sabers are the most awesome weapons! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Jan 14, 2004, 01:21 PM
My favourite weapon type without a doubt has to be mechguns. They absolutely decimate singular enemies! I prefer the unrare mechs in the looks departmant compare to the 9 star ones. The Red Mechguns I want most of all however but I haven't found them yet.... yet..

You don't like the look of the Combats? They kinda look like futuristic Twin MP-5's to me... except for the front... the "barrel" looks... dumb...

Any of the Yas, with the shells falling to the ground, looks awesome... Ramarl looks sick firing the 2000, holding it gangster style with the laser sight

I noticed that http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif That's so funny!! That's the only reason I created a lv 1 RAmarl, cuz they hold guns gangster-style http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Just to see it you know?

Jan 14, 2004, 01:33 PM
Heh, I didn't know there was anyone left that didn't use 12 stars. All I see these days are Hunters (AKA HUmars) with TJs, BKB/DC, and LKs; Rangers (AKA RAmars) with Guld Millas, Needles, and HPs; and Forces (AKA FOmars) with PWands. If you play with cheaters there is no variety to the game.

Kraida
Jan 14, 2004, 01:33 PM
I do like the combats but they're a bit too big for my character... or something. A good pair of Vulcans suit my character better. I got a mini RAcast http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Jan 14, 2004, 01:55 PM
Final Impact - looks like a Jet Ski but is powerful & adds 10 Luck to my poorly-material-planned RAmarl.

Any regular Shot type (including S-Rank). Since no Vega Ranger would be caught dead with one they actually have a unique look.

Dhylec
Jan 14, 2004, 02:23 PM
my fave wep is a pair of charge vulcan w/hit - call 'em popcorn guns!
i hit the jackpot when the shop sold 'em w/50 hit, i bought multiple copies for my chars
not flashy, but enought to put a merlan down in 1 combo.. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
this is the most expensive wep i bought: spent money to buy & used money to attack http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

All IDs can get a Photon Launcher from Hard Vol Opt.

I like using my RAmarl and hanguns, too bad I haven't found any powerful ones (best I have is Varista or Custom Ray). I can't wait to see the speed of my FOmarl with the Inferno Bazooka. I like the look of the Last Survivor, too bad my Skyly hasn't found one yet (only at normal Ruins, level 17).

Skorpius
Jan 14, 2004, 04:40 PM
Charge Vulcans (50% hit)
Charge Raygun (40% hit)

All bought from the shop at some time or another, not dupes. i love em. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I KNOW!!! ARGGGHHHHHH!! It pisses me off!
First time i ever went on line i saw some guy with a T J-Sword and i thought it was the coolest weapon ever! I made myself a Skyly char specifically to go hunting for one of my own eventually (100% Legit by the way) because i wanted one so much!

But i'm starting to lose the urge now simply because EVERY hunter has one... I played online the other night for about 5 hours and every hunter i saw bar 1 had a J-Sword! And the only reason he didn't have one is because he'd turned legit and got rid of his! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

i like the Ruby Bullet

the heat trail, the sound... though i have noticed it to be a bit picky about how it wants to hit things.. as in not registering a hit on the target *shrug*

Blitzkommando
Jan 14, 2004, 06:14 PM
I like my Chainsawds for my hunters. With the percents on them I end up doing more damage with the Chainsawd than with the Red Sword. Chainsawds are just so cool. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Kraida
Jan 14, 2004, 06:21 PM
Great suggessions people! Ever since PSO DC I needed a Baranz Launcher to live. It's huge!!! I love how it spits out missles and a charge special is always useful when u got a ton of money.

Try getting a Supressed Gun. They are easy to get, and are nearly as strong as a Red Handgun. No Special attack, but that hardly matters.

Red Mechs are terribly neglected, everyone goes for the yasminkov 9000ms and the Guld millas when the yasminkovs have ten less atp and only 2 more ata and then guld millas while they have alot more atp and 5 more ata are near impossible to get (legit) and since red mechs aren't as rare as the yasminkovs you can try and find one with hit% and continue to have a life. ^_^

For the next 183 levels or so, that'll be the bulk of your rares. Don't start wanting it. Soon you'll be dying to burn them. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Hmm, wouldn't all Offline S-Rank Weapons fit into this category? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

With that being said, I think Crazy Tune is kind of cool. I'm a big FLCL fan, so I really need to get one of these suckers. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif I wouldn't mind more guitar weapons...buuut, that's another story. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I like my Demolition Comet a lot. G-Assassin's Sabers are a great weapon for lower-level HUnters and Melee FOrces. I like Yamato too, for the same reasons.

ERS
Jan 14, 2004, 10:48 PM
Any sort of twin sword- Musashi, Yamato, or Asuka.

Also, Twin Chakram. Very rarely used, and it looks different from all the other daggers. Plus, all classes can use it.

Jan 14, 2004, 10:50 PM
yasminkov 2000H is great! Although I'm a hunter kinda guy, I love the look of this bulky hand gun with it's laser targeting and the gun shells. wOOt for 2000H!

I'm a big Shot fan. I have Final Impact, but I'm looking forward to my own S-Rank soon, since it's blue. (Is it sad that I base weapon selection on color-coordination?)

Big Blue Robot, Big Blue Shield, Big Blue Mag.

Now I just need the Big Blue Gun...

Most of those weapons aren't "obscure" at all. I guess they might be if you only play with cheaters ...

I think the Crazy Tune and Akiko's Frying Pan are the coolest obscure weapons.

I've got two, Brionac cause i love how the blade comes out of the top when you attack. Also the Yasminkov 9000M, basically cause the empty rounds fly out of the gun when fired making it so realistic.

I know I will hate them, but I just like how they look and hope to only find one good one with hopefully decent Hit % (*knows it will never happen to any Skyly*). But I do like the Chainsawd too, and the Last Survivor will hold me off until I get it.

Well, unless I actually know you in real life, I doubt we'll be able to meet up...sorry bout that. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif PM if you think you know me. XD

But, if you still want a Crazy Tune, you'll need to find someone to offline Cmode with. If you have online (do you?) you can always trade for one.

I have the feeling you like FLCL too. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Hehe, yeah, Rappy's Fan. Looks especially great on a tall, masculine HUmar. XD

Nothing at all is a great weapon for a male Force, lol.

Other things that win for 'Not all that great or widely used, but don't it look cool?': Elysion, Kaladbolg, Bravace

40% Hit Spirit Arms, lol. RAmarl's best friend. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Jan 16, 2004, 10:36 PM
My weapon is a Diska with 50% hit on it. I have yet to see one drop, with any decent hit (I got this one from a friend since he says he never used it), and it is arguably the best weapon a melee force can use because...

It can hit four enemies at a time
It is distanced
Somewhat decent accuracy, with hit anyway.

Its like a Rappy's Fan on steroids, or something.

Kupi
Jan 16, 2004, 11:46 PM
Anything with Charge or Berserk on it for me. I'm still looking for a Charge Vulcan or Diska with Hit and I'm not sure whether I want to use 40 PDs to put Berserk on my S-Rank Twin, but either special still rules since it's extra damage for little cost. ^_^

Yep. I know 2 people that play PSO, they both probably suck at C-mode, but I'll make due. I doubt anyone actually has a legit Crazy Tune online though. How many people have actually gotten a S-rank in offline C-mode anyways?

Alive Aqhu, Branch of PakuPaku, Psycho Wand, Any ID card

By the way, after playing 3/4 of my year in Vega, I've seen no more than 5 Forces use a Pyscho Wand, It's not THAT common.

Heres hoping I can finish!
