History ImprobableWeaponUser / Videogames

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', after transforming into the Deku form, your main weapon is the point of your hat, which you attack with by doing a pirouette, and your secondary weapon is spit bubbles.
*** Furthermore, in the Zora form, you attack by ''throwing your own fins'' at the enemy, like boomerangs.

* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'': The series features HospitalHottie Compa, who uses a giant syringe in battle, 5pb., the blue-haired [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] musician who wields a guitar and can kill her audience (of enemies) with music by playing said guitar or just outright smack them with it and Plutia, the [=CPU=] of another dimension who whacks enemies on the head with plush toys.

** Part of the throwing mechanic in this game was bugged in that [[GoodBadBugs even something as inconsequential as a thrown fly or a thrown glob of vomit would cause ridiculous wounds]]. Not to mention [[MemeticBadass Captain Ironblood]] beating a hydra to death while [[NakedPeopleAreFunny naked]]... and wielding a ''cabinet''. Monsters could do it as well; giants and colossi would wield the first thing holdable, leading to death by pants. Adventurers could do likewise, and rack up legendary kill-counts on the least likely of objects.

** By virtue of becoming playable, April O'Neil uses equipment from her reporter job to fight villains, including her trusty microphone, a camera pole, a boom mic, and (large) studio cameras.
** Casey Jones uses his sports equipment as usual, namely his hockey stick, baseball bats and golf club. The most noteworthy one in this case is slam dunking his opponents with a basketball for one super.

* ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'': Beatrix's WeaponOfChoice is her right cybernetic arm the Incistyx Injector which is a gigantic syringe-arm larger than herself. She typically uses it like a SniperRifle to shoot out diseases on the battlefield to either enfeeble enemies or aid allies.

* ''VideoGame/{{IMGCM}}'': All MagicalGirl heroines wield various unusual weapons called “Magical Instruments.” [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because Kamisaman's technology, which transforms the heroines into magical girls, also transforms their smartphones into objects [[WeaponOfChoice based on their traits and will]].

* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': Since they introduced alternate weapon skins, there's been a few of these available, mainly for the [[DropTheHammer War Mace]] and [[AnAxeToGrind 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/TheJackboxPartyPack'': In "Weapons Drawn" from ''Party Pack 8'', the players are tasked to draw randomly selected murder weapons, which are then used to kill party guests, leading into the "detective" phase of the entertainment. These weapons range from the straightforward (such as "letter opener" or "cannon") to the odd (such as [[CarFu "bus"]] or [[HandbagOfHurt "carry-on luggage"]]) to the downright ridiculous (like "cosmic rays" or "family of raccoons") to abstract concepts (such as "tight deadline" or "emotional regret").

* ''[[VideoGame/LaPucelle La Pucelle Tactics]]'': Culotte may take the cake for shear variety of improbable weapons. He throws mushrooms, monsters, lollipops, bombs, apples, rocks, and many other unusual things at enemies. And those are just his "normal" attacks.
** One of his skills involves throwing a series of those 'weapons' at the enemy. The skill description reads "Everything but the kitchen sink..."

* ''VideoGame/GachaWorld'': Dice literally throws a massive dice that [[ShoutOut explodes and deals damage on a six and deals zero damage on a one]][[note]]For those that don't know, exploding dice is a system where if a CriticalHit is rolled, that dice gets rolled again until it is no longer a CriticalHit and all the previous [[CriticalHit critical hits]] are added up to the grand total.[[/note]] when summoned. There's 50% chance to [[CriticalHit roll a six]] and be over with it or failing that roll, a separate 50/50 roll of either a [[CriticalHit six]] or a [[CriticalFailure one]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'': Though they might look normal at first glance, the majority of weapons are actually cobbled together from non-weapon items. The Nozzlenoses are repurposed garden hoses, the Inkbrush is a giant paintbrush, the Hydra Splatling is a portable fire hydrant, and the Luna Blaster is a hair dryer, for instance. There is also an entire weapon class consisting of gigantic paint rollers, which can be swung to flick harmful ink at foes or club them as a bludgeon, as well as Sloshers, which are described as "weapons-grade buckets".
* ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' introduces more outlandish weaponized mundane objects, such as the Goo Tuber (a soybean paste dispenser), the Clash Blaster (a roll of crayons), and the Curling Bomb (an exploding curling stone), as well as a new weapon class themed on [[ParasolOfPain umbrellas]].
** Furthermore, some of these weapon classes have variations that are even more absurd. One roller, the "Flingza Roller", resembles a fountain pen, and the "Ballpoint Splatling" is a ballpoint pen. The comically-named "Bloblobber" is a slosher that looks like a bathtub... the list goes on, we could be here all day.

** Zato-1 use his own shadow.

** Bridget uses a KillerYoyo as well as his teddy bear.

** ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'' allows you to combine two abilities[[note]][[PlayingWithFire Burn]], [[AnIcePerson Ice]], [[ShockAndAwe Spark]], [[DishingOutDirt Stone]], [[HavingABlast Bomb]], Needle, and Cutter, with two of the same being an option[[/note]], often with insane results. Highlights include an active volcano [[NiceHat (worn as a hat)]], ice skates made of ice, fireworks, and having him turn into a curling stone, a melting ice cube (hot steam), and a ''refrigerator''. To elaborate on that last one: Kirby transforms into a fridge and flings deadly food at the enemy...and any leftover food can be eaten to heal Kirby.

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': There are eight weapons in game (nine, counting a [[KillThemAll Genocide Route-only]] upgrade to one of them), most of them very improbable. [[DeviousDaggers Worn Dagger, Real Knife]]? Makes sense. Stick? Can do. Toy Knife? Tough Glove? Ballet Shoes? [[ThrowTheBookAtThem Torn Notebook?]] [[FryingPanOfDoom Burnt Pan?]] Special mention goes to Empty Gun. While the game never states that if it's a real gun or just a toy, it's explictly [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin empty]] -- meaning that the player character [[PistolWhip pistol-whips]] [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon their enemies with it.]] [[JustifiedTrope It should be noted though that the monsters in the game are stated to be vulnerable to killing intent - meaning that even something completely ridiculous can be used to hurt them if their attacker wants it enough.]]

* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes''. Mostly subverted in that they are proper weapons, it's just that the users' job description as "assassins" hardly match with them. First game has, in order of encounters, a giant straight razor with energy properties and doppelganger spin, explosive bullets, sword beams, a crotch laser, a rocket launcher as a replacement leg, a multi-story experimental military earthquake generator operated by a giant brain, props more typical for a magic show, a ridiculously large wave motion gun, gimps, and a lightsaber dragon thingy. Second game has a gatling revolver, a boombox/power fist that can shoot missiles, a sports themed humongous mecha formed by a jerk jock and an army of assassin cheerleaders, a recorder that turns into a doublesided lightsaber, a flamethrower axe, perfect poison, the earthquake thingy again, a gun that shoots money and ricochets off walls, [[spoiler:the crotch laser guy again]], a laser blade that fires LaserBlade dragons, a pair of scythe/anti-material rifles, a KillSat, a multitude of {{Laser Blade}}s that get thrown around...
* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'': Amaterasu is a prime example of this. She can equip 3 kinds of weapons, 2 of which fits this: "reflectors", basically mirror shields which she bludgeons people to death with (and [[CounterAttack counters attacks]]), and "rosaries", chain of beads which she either whips people with or shoot projectiles from. The last one are standard {{BFS}}es.
** She also uses a paintbrush. That one, at least, is not her "main" weapon, but instead used to draw magic symbols for her magic attacks.
** Waka uses his flute, which he plays deadly music with... and it can also project a LaserBlade.
** [[VideoGame/{{Okamiden}} Her son]] also uses said weapons, and Kagu attacks with fans. Kurow uses [[MusicalAssassin the sound from a flute]] [[spoiler:and {{Laser Blade}}s [[InstrumentOfMurder from said flute]]]].

* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': A few of the characters are Improbable Weapon Users. Like [[{{Pirate}} Motochika's]] freaking [[AnchorsAway anchor]] ''which he also uses to surf''. Tachibana Muneshige skirts the line, with him dual wielding ''chainsaws''. The {{Joke Item}}s take this even further.

** Wario has ''[[{{Fartillery}} fart]]'' moves. And after he's finished riding his motorbike, he can [[CarFu throw it at you]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': There are eight weapons in game (nine, counting a [[KillThemAll Genocide Route-only]] upgrade to one of them), most of them very improbable. [[KnifeNut Worn Dagger, Real Knife]]? Makes sense. Stick? Can do. Toy Knife? Tough Glove? Ballet Shoes? [[ThrowTheBookAtThem Torn Notebook?]] [[FryingPanOfDoom Burnt Pan?]] Special mention goes to Empty Gun. While the game never states that if it's a real gun or just a toy, it's explictly [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin empty]] -- meaning that the player character [[PistolWhip pistol-whips]] [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon their enemies with it.]] [[JustifiedTrope It should be noted though that the monsters in the game are stated to be vulnerable to killing intent - meaning that even something completely ridiculous can be used to hurt them if their attacker wants it enough.]]

** A popular joke among the ''Fate'' fanbase (particularly with ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters vastly expanding the sample size of characters]]) is how relatively few members of the Archer class actually use bows. They can use guns, swords, slingshots, magic portals that dump an entire armory on you, and, as of Christmas 2017, ''live sheep'', as long as they're most famed for ranged attacks.

* In ''Quest For the Shaven Yak Starring [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren Hoek and Stimpy]]'', Ren's basic method of attacking his enemies is by tossing toothbrushes at them, while Stimpy's is [[HairballHumor coughing up hairballs]]. The other weapons the duo can collect are a remote control that fires lightning bolts, soap that fires bubbles, and pieces of powdered toast.

* ''VideoGame/CoffeeCrisis'', in which you are a nerdy barista fending off an AlienInvasion, gives you a ''coffee maker'' as an improvised club, which can handily smash the faces of alien mooks.

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'': While swords and bows (and tools) are the only practical weapons, it is theoretically possible to beat a monster to death with a torch, bed, pumpkin, [[UpToEleven or even a block of dirt]]. Best of all, items without durability don't even get damaged by using them as improvised weapons.

*** As Merchant-derived classes, both the Blacksmith line and the Alchemist line have skills that revolve around weaponizing their carts UpToEleven, with both class lines sharing the ''Cart Boost'' skill. The Blacksmith line just uses brute force with their carts, like in their ''High Speed Cart Ram'' while the Alchemist line modifies their carts to the point they can fire cannonballs, like in their ''Cart Cannon''.
