What is the worst weapon in the game?
One that reeks of such utter uselessness that just picking it up randomly makes you throw it away right away?

For me, it would be the akimbo 9mm.
It does not raise your total ammo pool, I can't aim with dual 9mm precisely while the 9mm is only useful if you aim properly and because it reloads that fast the enlarged clipsize does nothing but making the reload animation unberably long.
Worst of all, if I drop it half of my 9mm ammo goes away which is why it even beats the badness of the machete because it actively screws you up while you can just drop a machete and the it does not completely replace your knife.

I treat 9mms that are on the ground like mines.

What's yours and why?

LAW.

Low ammo
Heavy
Dangerous to use
Expensive
M79/M32 are simply better.

Why has it gotten so little attention? You'd think they would have balanced it.

The last patch upped its damage considerably you know.
So much so that you can now stun scrakes with rockets.

But yeah, its massive weight still keeps it from being useful.

Yeah, it has overly lethal splash damage too. But I do love me some LAW pwning action. It's great for crowd control. Just needs tweaking for larger enemies and perhaps adding to the Demo perk.....

Yeah, especially on a map like offices if half the team stays on the first floor and the other half go into the courtyard, death from above!

Peeeeeewwww...KABOOOM!!!

Broken Pipe from certain map . How a melee like that can decap heads 8D ?

(Law isn't so useless, i love to pick it up + medic perk against the Patty, Machette ftw ! So much funny / challenging than the katana)

I agree with the dual 9mm's

They should make buying a second one cost no weight, then maybe id get them.

I hate the hunting shotgun. I always sell the one I spawn with for a pump-action. Power is meaningless when you can't predict the shot pattern and you have to get right next to the specimens with a weapon that has to reload after 1 shot. That doesn't sound like the plan for me.

The LAW. If I saw them lying around, I'd simply sell them... if they didn't weigh so much!

Non-katana melee weapons are pretty crappy but you find them around pretty often and are usually worth a hefty amount of cash.
