Most modern video games are full of detailed weapons and gameplay mechanics that directly impact the difficulty. This is why it's highly probable that there's no one best weapon in games. It's all subjective based on the playstyle. However, every game has at least one top gun, which is more or less the most iconic one in that game.

1.
DOOM Eternal (BFG 9000) - In the last three decades there have been over 5 different doom games. However, it's safe to say the good old BFG is still the most iconic one in the series. -
2.
Half-Life 2 (Gravity Gun) - There are just too many good weapons in Half-Life, so it is hard to pick one. But the most memorable one that is incredibly powerful has to be the Gravity Gun. -
3.
Hitman (Silverballer) - There’s a reason why Silverballers are on the box art of Hitman, they’re just a perfect match for the character. Especially if you dual-wield it with a suppressor. Sadly, the newer entries ditched the concept of dual-wielding. -
4.
Bioshock (Shotgun) - Bioshock has its fair share of amazing weapons. But nothing comes close to the feeling of electrocuting your enemies and blasting them off with a shotgun. It’s a seriously overpowered combination. -
5.
Control (Grip) - There are multiple modes to the Service Weapon in Control and each one calls for a different play style. However, it’s Grip that works the best in a variety of ranges, especially with damage boosting perks. -
6.
Bioshock Infinite (The Paddywhacker Hand Cannon) - The best weapons in Bioshock are the Sky-Hook and the elemental powers. However, when it comes to guns, there's only one that stands tall, the Paddywhacker Hand Cannon. -
7.
The Widowmaker (GTA V) - The inclusion of sci-fi elements in GTA is seriously atrocious. Funnily, one such sci-fi weapon has become the staple of overpowered guns in GTA, the Widowmaker. -
8.
The Last Of Us (Hunting Rifle) - Other than the bow, there’s no better weapon in The Last Of Us that compares to the power of the Hunting Rifle. -
9.
Call Of Duty 4 (M16A4) - There are two main weapons that everyone remembers in COD4, AK-47, and M16A4. The latter is slightly better in terms of handling. -
10.
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (Chronoscepter) - Turok is known as one of the best FPS games featuring dinosaurs. So it’s safe to assume that the best gun in the game isn’t going to be a regular one. -
11.
Cyberpunk 2077 (Malorian Arms 3516) - Despite the broken and meme-worthy release of Cyberpunk it still offers some great gameplay and fighting mechanics. And the best part of its combat is the Malorian Arms, the greatest gun in the game. -
12.
Metal Gear Solid V (Water Pistol) - On the surface, this game offers a lot of weapons. But the one that stands out is the Water Gun, as it is honestly one of the most overpowered stealth weapons in gaming. From stunning enemies for an easy takedown to disabling enemy electronics, this gun does it all without making a sound. -
13.
Far Cry 5 (AR-CL) - Far Cry is a game that offers players plenty of space to play. So a great gun in such a scenario would be something that’s good in short-range and long-distance. And that’s exactly what AR-CL is all about. -
14.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus (Sturmgewehr) - The assault rifle variant that appears in the New Colossus has a much sleeker design compared to the previous game. However, one thing that it does retain is the amazing functionality, making it the best gun to use once again. -
15.
Halo Combat Evolved (M6D Pistol) - Halo is one of the most renowned FPS titles of all time and that's all thanks to the amazing gameplay. And some credit for that goes to guns such as M6D, though if we're being honest, any numbers of entires from Halo could have been included. -
16.
F.E.A.R (10mm HV Penetrator) - The 10mm High-Velocity Penetrator in F.E.A.R is easily the best weapon in the game. This nail gun fires 10mm steel stakes at lethal speeds, nailing enemies to the wall in a gravity-defying manner. -
17.
Call Of Duty MW2 (ACR) - The ACR is known as one of the most used guns in Modern Warfare 2 and for good reason. The gun is a perfect mix of handling and speed, making it more deadly than any other weapon in most circumstances. -
18.
Dishonored (Pistol) - Literally every weapon in Dishonored can change the way you play the game. The same goes for the Pistol. And if you use this one right, it’s the fastest way to wipe out enemies. -
19.
Bulletstorm (Flail Gun) - The custom-built grenade launcher is the wet dream of players who love crazy trick shots. Flail Gun is super fun to use and is pretty overpowered, making it a blast to use. -
20.
Metro Exodus (The Kalash) - The third major entry in the Metro series is AK-74M, also known as The Kalash. It’s the best gun to use for most objectives, making it the most useful weapon in the game by a wide margin. -
21.
Prey (GLOO Cannon) - From the name only, the GLOO cannon doesn't sound all that powerful, but for those who have played Prey, you'll know it's just as useful as the gravity gun is in Half-life. -
22.
Crysis (FY71) - The primary weapon for KPA infantry, is an assault rifle known as FY71. It is simply the most functional Crysis gun other than the shotgun. Winning just because it fits the scale of the game. -
23.
Wolfenstein the New Order (Dual Wielded Assault Rifles) - Similar to the New Colossus, New Order features its version of assault rifles. These guns become incredibly deadly if they are dual-wielded. -
24.
RAGE (Combat Shotgun) - The good old combat shotgun from Rage is a clear-cut winner among the other weapons in the game. Not just because of its looks, but also because of its sheer power. -
25.
Team Fortress 2 (Rocket Launcher) - The most legendary weapon from one of the greatest multiplayer games of its time is more or less a BFG. The Team Fortress 2 Rocket Launcher is without a doubt the best gun in the game. -
26.
Unreal Tournament 3 (Biorifle) - Who can forget watching your enemies dissipate after getting shot with Biorifle in UT3? This classic battle-royale title set the tone for what multi-player games could be, while giving us some epic guns along the way. -
27.
Quake 3 (Rail Gun) - The sheer power of the Rail Gun is one of the best parts of Quake 3. Being chased by a giant eyeball with legs? No problem. With the rail gun, there is nothing you'll come across in the arena that you won't be able to handle. -
28.
Doom 3 (Shotgun) - The best gun to use in the classic Doom 3 is none other than the shotgun. -
29.
Gears Of War (Lancer Assault Rifle) - The fact that Lancer is always on the box art of almost every Gears game is enough proof of how important it is to the series. But what makes it the best gun, is the melee functionality and the sheer speed-to-power ratio of this gun. -
30.
Left 4 Dead 2 (AK-47) - In a game where players mindlessly kill hordes of zombies, any weapon will feel useful. Yet, on higher difficulties, one weapon outshines the rest, and that’s AK-47.
