History ImprobableWeaponUser / Videogames

*** And the king of all improvised weapons, the Rock-it Launcher! Built out of a vacuum cleaner and a few other assorted parts, you can feed almost any random piece of garbage into it as ammo and it will fire the junk at lethal speeds at a target. Because of the physics engine of the game, small, heavy objects like billiard balls are best - but even objects like teddy bears can decapitate an opponent when fired with the launcher! It's also fun to decapitate raiders with stacks of dollar bills like a demented Scrooge [=McDuck=].

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' uses her hair. She also retains this ability in the third game despite the loss of her genie powers, implying she inherited her deadly hair from her father.

** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'': In the Bloodmoon expansion, you can find and use a severed Nord's leg as a bludgeoning weapon.

** The Friends to the End DLC for ''VideoGame/ShantaeHalfGenieHero'' has Rottytops user her own leg; not by kicking, but by detaching it and wielding it as a club.

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' uses her hair. She also retains this ability in the third game without her genie powers, implying she inherited her deadly hair from her father.

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' uses her hair.

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'': Emeralda uses her hair.

** The ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' spin-off ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' also has some rather odd choices of weapons for some characters, though the majority use said weapon to focus their elemental abilities or use them to summon helpers. These include Link (one of his weapons is a spinner), Sheik (a harp), Lana (a book), Zelda (a conductor's baton), Agitha (a parasol), Linkle (winged boots), Skull Kid (an ocarina), Toon Link (his sand wand can summon ''a train'') King Daphnes (a sail), Medli (a harp), Marin (a bell), and Yuga (a picture frame). But none of them compare to [[AmericansHateTingle Tingle]], whose weapon is a balloon, but in battle also uses folded maps, bags of rupees and statues of himself. And compared to the other character, none of these are magical in nature.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'': Cream the Rabbit is known to use her pet Chao, Cheese, as a weapon. Similarly, in ''Sonic Adventure'', Tails uses his tails as a flail-like weapon, with a pendant augmentation that allows him to spin at a much higher speed.

** The Fist of Gratia weapon is a firearm replacement that's essentially a large hunk of iron with finger holes. Its creator, Gratia, was hopeless with firearms, so she preferred to just beat enemies senseless with said iron block. Given, a knuckle duster isn't ''that'' improbable a weapon as it is, but considering the context, that Gratia was a Hunter and her most likely enemies were werewolves... Knuckle dusters aren't exactly a part of your standard werewolf hunter's arsenal, and beating werewolves into smears of blood using one is CrazyAwesome if nothing else.

** ''LightNovel/FateZero'' also gives us Berserker [[spoiler: aka Sir Lancelot]] who can turn any weapon into a Noble Phantasm. During his first fight, he even wield street lamps effectively as staves.

* The Squaresoft game ''VideoGame/BahamutLagoon'', while not having specific characters with improbable weapons, does have various items that all characters can throw to cause damage or status effects. These items include Sweet Memory, Porno Mag, and Botched Cookie.

* ''VideoGame/NamuAmidaButsuUtena'': Kongōman Bosatsu "Leader" has a very long flower garland, which he uses in battle [[WhipItGood as if it's a whip]].

** The Healing Church's Executioner fraction led by Logarious wielded massive wooden stagecoach wheels to massacre the Vilebloods, and with the Wheel Hunter Badge, the player Hunter can wield one of those, too. Granted, their staggering size and weight should make them just as violent and effective as smashing people's face in with a boulder, but it would also be extremely hard to handle, even with the two handles attached to the inner sides.

** The Fist of Gratia weapon is a firearm replacement that's essentially a large hunk of iron with finger holes. Its creator Gratia was hopeless with firearms, so she preferred to just beat enemies senseless with said iron block.
** The final boss of the DLC is a contender for most improbable weapon users in all of fiction: It fights using its own placenta. Of course, said placenta is to all appearances pretty heavy, being almost as big as a grown man, can create organic explosives, and furthermore has an edge protruding out of it, so it's not like the thing isn't a viable weapon, and the umbilical cord makes it [[EpicFlail surprisingly versatile]] as well... Still, "I'm fighting a newborn orphan armed with its own placenta" ''is'' a pretty rare sentence, beaten only by "[[ThatOneBoss the newborn orphan armed with its own placenta is kicking my ass]]"
** Defeating the above-mentioned boss allows you to become a contender for most improbable weapon users in all of fiction as well, as doing so grants you the Kos Parasite, a tiny, squid-like, extraterrestial parasite that's even called [[LampshadeHanging "atypical"]] in its own description. Regularily, it can only be grasped and swung, enhancing your unarmed damage, but if combined with the Milkweed Rune it allows you to turn into a HumanoidAbomination that fights by using CombatTentacles, projectile vomiting, throwing slugs, and contorting your body until your spine snaps, releasing a burst of StarPower in the process.

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has Ness saving the world with increasingly powerful baseball bats, sling-shots and yo-yos. Or Jeff and his incredibly powerful ''bottle rockets''. Paula wields a frying pan. The prequel game is similar.
** And in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', Lucas and Flint wield wooden and metal rods, Kumatora equips gloves for weapons, and Duster uses boots. Improbable in more ways than one with Duster, since one of his legs is partially paralyzed.
** Additionally, in the ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' [[GameMod ROM Hack]] ''VideoGame/EquestriaBound'', while the group has equipment based on their personality (Apple Bloom using stuff like power tools, Scootaloo using different kinds of weather-based attacks) Dinky stands out in that she uses old mail as her main weapon.

** SpoonyBard Edward in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' uses harps to attack. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears The sequel]] lets him use bows and knives, too, though this doesn't let him use his [[MagicMusic Bardsong]] ability.

* ''Videogame/{{Hades}}:'' If you make the mistake of [[ShopliftAndDie trying to shoplift at Charon's shops]], he will immediately show you that oar isn't just for the Styx by way of initiating a BonusBoss fight and slapping you to death with it. Not even the FinalBoss hits quite as hard as getting paddled across the face by the damn thing.

** [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Steve/Alex]], similar to Villager/Isabelle, use several mundane tools as weapons, from buckets filled with lava to anvils to even a whole functional ''minecart''...

** Mario uses a cape for one of his attacks from Melee onward, turning his opponent to face the other direction if it hits them. From ''Brawl'' onward, he also uses FLUDD the water spraying machine from ''Super Mario Sunshine''.
** Luigi can use ''himself'' as a missile attack from Melee onward. And the fourth and fifth games give him the Poltergust vacuum from the ''Luigi's Mansion'' games as his ultimate weapon.
** Ness uses a yo-yo and a baseball bat for his smash attacks.
** Peach, who can use a parasol, a {{frying pan|OfDoom}}, or sports equipment. She can also bring out Toad as a counterattack.
** Dr. Mario, in addition to the cape attack copied from Mario, flings giant pills as his basic attack instead of fireballs.
** Mr. Game&Watch, using elements from the various Game&Watch games he is derived from, uses bacon, a turtle, a chair, a torch...
** Wario has ''{{fart|illery}}'' moves. And after he's finished riding his motorbike, he can [[CarFu throw it at you]].
** Lucas uses a twig that looks like he just picked it up randomly from the floor one day. He uses his psychic powers to turn it into a rather lethal bludgeoning weapon, though.
** R.O.B. uses spinning tops for his down special, a reference to Gyromite.
** The Villager brings out an entire arsenal of these, including bowling balls, flowerpots, turnips, a tree, his ''pockets''...
** The Wii Fit Trainer uses soccer balls, volleyballs, and hula hoops for some of their attacks.
** Greninja uses shuriken and kunai...made of water.
** As in Donkey Kong Country, King K. Rool throws his crown like a boomerang, and it packs a punch.

** Banjo uses his partner Kazooie as his main weapon, whether that means shooting eggs like a rifle or inflicting GrievousHarmWithABody.
** Steve/Alex, similar to Villager/Isabelle, use several mundane tools as weapons, from buckets filled with lava to anvils to even a whole functional ''minecart''...

** Zato-1 uses his own shadow.

** Faust (aka Dr. Baldhead) uses a giant scalpel.

** A.B.A drags around a huge key.
** Dizzy's metamorphing wings are sentient.
** Anji uses [[PaperFanOfDoom paper fans of doom]].
** Sin uses a flag.

** New character Answer "The Ninja Businessman" throws business cards at enemies.

** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionSeries'': Luigi uses a Poltergust to suck up ghosts: it's essentially a vacuum cleaner with an attached flashlight, which in later games comes with a black light attachment.
