Source If you get blasted by a shotgun in a multiplayer FPS match, it can often feel frustrating. When it comes to competitive Call of Duty, nothing was more infuriating that being on the receiving end of this high-tier shotgun. You could only unlock the Model 1887 by spending significant time playing the game, so […] More

While it’s not the first shotgun to ever exist in the FPS genre, the shotgun in the original DOOM has a legacy of its own. The starting pistol and melee attacks worked alright, but as soon as you picked up the shotgun in the first level, you knew things were about to get messy. The […] More

Source The Halo franchise has some pretty epic guns, but few of them are as overpowered as the M90 CAWS. The default shotgun is outstanding throughout the entire game series, but we most fondly remember using it during multiplayer matches. In both Halo 2 and Halo 3, having the shotgun in hand often meant double-kills […] More

Source The world of Rapture is a scary place; there’s murderous drug addicts rampaging in the streets, and the whole city is underwater. Even though you’re capable of shooting lightning and fire out of your hands, there’s nothing more reliable than the trusty Rapture Shotgun when things get tough. Capable of chopping down a ravenous […] More

Source The DMR is a favorite for more “new-school” Halo players, as the gun only appears in later entries in the franchise. It basically replaces the Battle Rifle in Halo: Reach multiplayer, but also has some uses in Halo 4 and Halo 5. Whereas the Battle Rifle offers a consistent three-burst shot, the DMR is […] More

Source This extremely powerful gun could be discovered in Halo 2’s campaign mode, either on the “Outskirts” or “Metropolis” level. The most common method of obtaining this obscenely explosive plasma gun involved maneuvering one of the flying Banshees through “Metropolis” to access a hidden outcropping. You won’t be able to simply stumble across the Scarab […] More

When you think of first person shooters, you usually don’t think of the pistols as the most iconic guns. While there are a few pistols in gaming that are exceptionally cool, they’re most often just a simple pea-shooter that acts as a last-ditch effort for when all other ammo runs out. The pistol in the […] More

In many ways, the Assault Rifle is the campaign-equivalent of the Battle Rifle. It’s not incredibly cool or powerful, but you can always rely on it for consistent damage when all else fails. Unless you’re playing Halo 2, you’ll usually off with an assault rifle in campaign levels. We have a lot of love for […] More

The Spartan Laser is one of Halo 3’s coolest and most powerful weapons, providing both incredible range and damage. Originally designed as an anti-vehicle weapon, this giant energy rifle shoots a single red laser with impeccable accuracy, easily destroying anything in its path. Like the Rocket Launcher or other “power” weapons in Halo, the Spartan […] More

The Sniper Rifle is easily one of Halo’s most iconic weapons, propelled by hyped-up multiplayer headshots and deadly stopping power. It’s a marksman’s best friend, capable of killing most enemies with one headshot (although smaller foes can be crumpled with just a body shot). It might seem simple enough, but becoming proficient with the Sniper […] More

The Shotgun has always been a reliable tool of destruction in the Halo franchise. Its high damage makes it perfect for multiplayer rampages, flattening enemies in the blink of an eye. It’s also very useful when dealing with annoying enemies like the Flood, which pop up as a major annoyance in almost every Halo game. […] More

The Bruteshot isn’t the best weapon in every scenario, but it’s ridiculously fun to use. In addition to being a grenade launcher that can flip enemy vehicles and splash damage enemies, it also has a giant blade on the underside for cutting down foes. You can unleash a barrage of six grenades, often displacing enemies […] More
