9 Video Games That Make Stupid Weapons Awesome

7. Bloodbourne - A Wheel

Resident Evil 5 Egg
FromSoftware

Unless you’re trying to speed run it with a Guitar Hero controller, you don’t really have time to mess about with anything that can impede your ability to succeed in a From Software title.

Bloodbourne is no exception, so making sure you have weapons attuned to your character build and fighting style before fighting the next Eldritch horror is a must. Add this to the bleak darkness of the world and you realize you are in a realm far removed from the joke weapons of more ‘friendly’ titles.

How surprising it is, then, to find a wheel of all things sitting in a Messenger shop. Although a device of torture is one you’d expect to find in the nightmare hellscape that is Yharnham, the ability to throw one over your shoulder and wield it like a club is not one that anybody was expecting. More unexpected still is just how useful such a weapon can be in the hands of a skilled strength or arcane character build. One of only two weapons that can reach a strength S scale, and with plenty of other power stacks to boot, this clunky wheel would appear to be one of fortune.
