10 Most Creative Guns In Video Games
3. GLOO Cannon - Prey
The latest creative gun to not only obliterate our enemies with but also solve complex spatial puzzles will be joining us in May 2017 with the release of Prey – Arkane Studios and Bethesda's upcoming first-person shooter which sees us trapped aboard a damaged space station overrun with shadowy, shape-shifting aliens.
As the name suggests, the GLOO cannon fires quick-hardening glue in huge, bulbous clumps. While not lethal on its own, the glue is one of the best methods of getting those pesky aliens under control – some are beasty, strong and aggressive, while the mimics can appear as almost any mundane item to take you by surprise – from a fire extinguisher to a toilet roll.
Whatever the enemy, pinning them in place with the fast-drying glue is the best way to get the fight under control before switching to a more traditionally, ballistic weapon.
The glue is also conductive, meaning it can be used to quickly fix broken circuits. It is also a great way of putting out pesky gas fires blocking your path. However, the most innovative use is its ability to quick-fire build pathways to otherwise inaccessible areas. Whether you're laying down a bridge between a gap to wide to jump, or building your own gluey staircase to an unreachable platform, the GLOO cannon is going to be not only your primary source of defense, but will allow you the opportunity to examine rooms and puzzles in new and interesting ways.
