What do you think is the sneakiest weapon ever in a video game?

I don't understand the question.

Basically I'd say a "sneaky" weapon is a weapon that doesn't necessarily do physical damage to your opponents, but somehow screws them over.

I'm going to go with the Lightning Bolt from the MarioKart series. Its effects are pretty straightforward; hit the button, and it shrinks all your opponents. It's a bit of a standard weapon in that regard, but what's sneaky about it is if you're watching your opponent's position on the map, you can time it so it hits them just before they should be going over a ramp. Sneaky sneaky.

Ignore the bad pun >.>



More sneaky stuff from the same game.

I hate the blue shell, especially when I'm like an inch away from the finish line. One second I'll be in first place the next second I'll be in fourth.

'Sneaky' can mean whatever you want it to mean. Personally, I'm going with the gun-disguised-as-a-laptop from Perfect Dark.

Ummm.. Sniper Rifle?

Anyone else see what I'm saying?

Trace using the Imperialist in Metroid Prime: Hunters. It's a sniper weapon, and it cloaks you! Can't think of anything more sneaky than that.

Come to think of it, some of the weapons you get in the Polaris storyline of Escape Velocity Nova (you know, the ones that let you fire while you're cloaked) are pretty sneaky. Boom, missiles from thin air!

Gotta be the spycam from Sly 3. It's a robot camera with a grappling hook that can move around the entire level you're on (Oh yeah, and hit people for non-lethal damage). Later, it gains the ability to shoot. The taunts are the best.

I loved that thing.
