The Armory
« on: May 22, 2009, 01:59:25 pm »


We all know that this game lets you use just about anything as a weapon, but I'm curious to know what people here use. There are three categories to this: actual weapons, improvised weapons (something that could still reasonably be used as a weapon even if that’s not its intended purpose), and bizarre weapons (such as a beating someone to death with a sock).

For me,
Conventional: Usually a two-handed sword works wonders, except for when fighting mega beasts, that’s when I use a pike. Gets stuck and knocks them out really nicely, makes the fights almost laughably easy.

Improvised: Using arrows as a spear is the most common one for me. Nothing more badass then tearing an arrow out of your chest and then repeatedly impaling an archer with it.

Bizarre: Slog's head. The head of the first Bronze colossus I killed, found out it made a great cannon ball to throw at people.

So share your weapon choices and any stories attached to them.

Bowling with the head of a bronze colossus.

Best idea I've heard for a while.

Eh, no special weapons.  I usually just throw whatever happens to be on the floor.  My dwarf wiki arachnid can only hold 2 items.  So I tended to gouge out people's eyes, break all their joints, then kill them.  Oh, and to prevent "last seen" spam, I tend to throw their bodies into a lake, too.

Conventional: Usually a axe because they are great at cutting off limbs

Improvised: I don't really have one.

Bizarre: a persons arm is a great club  :)

Halberds always seem to be alot more effiecent then axes, in my experience. Also, one of the most fun times I had involved beating children to death with my own severed arm.

I could've used my own severed eyes, if only they dropped.  My arachnid had lost 5 by the time of his unfortunate death.

This would most likely fit into the improvised weapons category; beating things to death with my *dog bone sceptre* on my way back to the Cyclops corpse where I left my sword. Those Foul blendecs went flying.

Primary weapon: Axe
Secondary weapon: Pile of dragon/other big thing bone bolts. Because stabbing every single part of somebody's body into red with 100 simultaneous hits is funny.
Bizarre weapon:  Live vermin.

too bad. When you think about it shouldn't each arrow count as 1 hit? Even if it is to the same body part?

It should be a modifier. A hit should be 1.2 stronger per each thing.
