Which kinds of weapons you probably are NOT going to use much or at all?

There is a thread completely different from what I am asking already, yes. Why am I asking it? Because it is important to know what people do NOT like, probably even more important than to know what they do like.

For me it is:

1. Flamethrower. It never packs a punch of real melee weapon, and it is usually so short range that it is useless. On the other hand, if it would be *real* flamethrower, launching flaming liquid, not some sort of short-range flaming tongue as usual...
2. Shotgun and variations. They are nice in 3d shooters, but don't think that they will be as good in this game.
3. Grenades, bombs and such. Never saw any point to carry them, too situational.
4. Actually anything expendable, like shurikens.
5. To be honest — anything with ammo. Melee plus ranged energy-based support for the win. I hate to depend on ammo.

 

My only issue with ammo is inventory space.

I do love thrown weapons in games, but again I don't like carrying several stacks of them constantly.

 

Well you dislike anything i love.
I only hate big swords.

 

For me it depends if the item is literally pretty pointless to use/get, lol.
In Terraria it was items like Spear, Trident, Vilethorn- Because they were slow and weak and I usually had better weapons by the time I ever found them anyway.

 

I don't like throwing weapons, too weak. Unless they explode.

 

my plan is to have bombs, a flamethrower, some sort of sword and a few throwing knives/things so er anything thats not that

EDIT: flamethrower primary
bombs emergency
sword when ammo runs out or close range
throwing things when ammo runs out or long range

 

In Terraria I tended to ignore the magic weapons and the throwing weapons. The former generally came too late, usually I'd have a good bow or one of the repeaters by the time I got some good magic. The latter was just horrible.

 

Weapons I wouldn't be using? Probably anything that chews up ammo if it's a ranged weapon, like a machine gun. Ammo-eaters are a no-no in my inventory. I would much prefer a fast swinging melee weapon and a slow but extremely powerful gun, like a magnum. Also, the flamethrower would be a choice of mine if it was the liquid-flame spewing weapon you described.

 

Everything but LAZORS!!!!

 

Throwing weapons, definitely. Unless we get Thermonuclear grenades.

 

I hate bow and arrows they seem to week for me

 

I will most likely not use an epic weapon that recharges very slow, and is activated form the press of a button, mostly because I'll forget.

 

We're really running out of ideas aren't we *facepalm*
If I had to say... shotguns, most types of guns, and bows, but not crossbows.

 

oh man i loved vilethorn, line a goblin army up and the dps just stacks while theyre held back

 

I wasn't a fan of the bow and arrow. Although shooting from a blowpipe was kinda funny. I also wouldn't use a slingshot. I kinda liked bombs because I like to blow stuff up.

 

bows and mabey magic

 

Anything that is too weak and puny and TOO SLOW TO KILL!

 

Melee weapons.... all of them except a combat knife... thats the only one i would use..

 

Counter striked.
I will be using all weapons actually to find out what is the best and such really. After all if you play the game and say "Never gonna play it this way" then you're only limiting your replayability, which Starbound has heaping amounts of it seems.

 

A beam sabre, an energy pistol, and a sniper rifle. Unless forced to use something else those will be all I use. I prefer medium powered attacks in quick secession, I hate very slow weapons like axes or hammers. Shotguns, as fun as they are, are also in the class of "slow but hard hitting"
