10 Best Original Weapons In Video Game History

9. Omniwrench - Ratchet & Clank

Ratchet and Clank PS4
Insomniac Games

Ratchet & Clank is not a series that's short of an impressive weapon or two (hundred). Massive guns and bomb launchers can be acquired and upgraded through the duo's adventures, but it's something much simpler than any of those that really stands out in these games.

The titular Lombax's various Omniwrench gadgets look pretty unassuming at first, but they quickly prove to be so much more. Given Ratchet's flair for mechanics, the tool's practical uses are obviously of major benefit throughout the galaxy.

On top of this, however, Ratchet's Omniwrench is perhaps his most reliable weapon. While the others can run out of ammunition or fail to make consistent impact, the bludgeoning strength of the wrench is always reliable. Ratchet wields this with gleeful freedom, swinging his way out of all manner of tight spots across multiple planets.
