History ImprobableWeaponUser / Videogames

* ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' himself is probably the grandmaster of this trope. Fire, bombs, and even armor-piercing needles are logical enough along with the normal plasma and lasers, but sawblades, steerable boxing gloves, and ''globs of quick-dry'' '''''cement'''''?

** There's also Quint from the Gameboy series, who uses a ''nuclear-powered pogo stick.''

** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid: Peace Walker'', you can hold up guards with a banana.

* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'': Ryu Hayabusa has a few questionable weapons in the UsefulNotes/XBox game series. In the first game, he aquires a wooden bokuto which requires about 7 upgrades until the shop owner Muramasa ''forges'' the damn thing into an ''oar''.

** The Friends to the End DLC for ''VideoGame/ShantaeHalfGenieHero'' has Rottytops use her own leg; not by kicking, but by detaching it and wielding it as a club. In Jammies Mode Shantae also wields a surprisingly deadly pillow. ||Though it's later revealed that Rottytops was inside the pillowcase all along.||

** One can argue that Tira's standard weapon, essentially an edged steel ''hula hoop'', is an example as well. This comes [[IncrediblyLamePun full circle]] in IV, where her joke weapon ''is'' a hula hoop.

* ''VIdeoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'':

* ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'': Watanabe Seisakujo's ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' doujin fighting game, later rehashed by Ecole, features the Tohno maids in full blast as [[NinjaMaid Battle]] [[{{Meido}} Maids]]. Hisui, powered by the Tatari, has her personal HyperspaceArsenal ("Hisui's [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gate of Babylon]]") where she can attack by launching books, hangers, vases, lamps and trays. Other weaponry include [[DieChairDie This Chair]] (and [[DemolitionFu Table]]), [[LethalChef Explosive Plum Bento]], a FryingPanOfDoom, a Stirring Spoon of Hurt, a [[MakingASplash Bucket and Cloth]] and a watering can. Kohaku follows up with syringes, [[WhenTreesAttack semi-sentient plants]] that can pack a punch (Go, Johnny!) and her trademark broom, which, justifiably, doubles as a sword sheath. And her [[RobotMaid Mech-Hisui]], which is also a playable character...

** The title character Goemon himself is using pipes and coins for fighting

* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': Since they introduced alternate weapon skins, there's been a few of these available, mainly for the [[DropTheHammer War Mace]] and Battle Axe powersets. War Mace gets a [[BatterUp baseball bat]], a shovel and a wrench, while Battle Axe gets the same shovel turned on its side. Your enemies aren't strangers to this either- see the Scrapyarders, why will sometimes use ''jackhammers'' against you.

* ''VideoGame/HammerinHarry'': Or ''Daiku no Gensan'' in Japan; either way, the titular character normally falls under DropTheHammer... but in ''Hammerin' Hero'', he gets alternate jobs which give him access to some improbable weapons. At the normal end is a baseball bat. Others include things like records, boomboxes, sushi, whole raw fish, anchors...

* ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'': The Black Gate lets you wield a surprising number of mundane objects, from shears to shovels to a rake and even a live hawk. Some even make passable weapons - the shears do as much damage as a one-handed sword. One of the deadliest weapons in the game is the Hoe of Destruction, which is a farming hoe which was accidentally enchanted to become lethally sharp.

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'': Emeralda, being a nanomachine colony, can morph her body into various deadly weapons, including turning her hair into knives or her limbs into hammers and drills.

* Beowulf wields a folding chair named "the Hurting" (a shoutout to the original poem where he wielded the legendary sword "Hrunting") and the severed arm of his first defeated opponent, Grendel.

*** And then comes the Warrior's Spirit, a pair of bear paws the Heavy has strapped over his hands. Gives new meaning to the phrase "I will kill you with [[JustForPun BEAR HANDS!!!]]" He also has the Holiday Punch, which are a pair of winter mittens that he can kill and make people laugh with.

* ''VideoGame/{{Wasteland}}'' allows you to equip any random object you find as a Brawling weapon, from books to ropes to broken toasters. Obviously things like crowbars, fire axes and chainsaws are much more effective, though.

* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSin'' has the infamous Barrelmancer build, the cornerstone of which is filling an indestructible chest with as many heavy objects (like barrels) as possible, then throwing it into enemies with Telekinesis for colossal damage. It's actually so good as to be a GameBreaker. (And still works in the sequel as well as ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'', which runs on the same engine.)
