Okay I’m just gonna say it now I’m NOT a bouncer benjamin But I can’t even deny the weapon is pretty good overall

The Clank Zapper being its own bottom tier is the Most Correct Thing to ever exist.

Deadlocked Holoshield probably got slept on. Most of that game revolves around defending your bots while they do something slowly and enemies in Deadlocked have no issue with zoning them from across the map.

Also what was pointed out by both me & OneEyedKingNL at 50:55; there’s a golden version of the Groovitron you can get in Tools of Destruction, which was literally an INFINITE ammo of Groovitrons. The whole game just cracks like a freakin egg when you have it.

The main thing I remember about the Holoshield Launcher in Deadlocked is using it in that mission where they just send a billion Swarmers at you and filling the air with so many bolts that it actually crashed the game.

Honestly I think in terms of damage the Quack-O-Ray from UYA is SS tier, it's borderline broken. The only downsides are it stops shooting when you jump and its range isn't the best, but once that thing is fully upgraded and you get the fire bird that attacks other enemies, with all the ducks also homing on enemies and exploding it's just so OP, much more so than the Sheepinator in GC.

Bruh Merc and Green were some of the best characters in Deadlocked. Synthenoids aside, they really set the tone for what was going on and had great dynamics together

3 hours 20 minutes long huh? I think I just found my next summer project.

Spiral of Death's main weakness is that you have to WAIT for the discs to return to you. When it upgrades and you can shoot 3 at a time, what'd often happen is that one of them gets stuck on something and then you have to wait on that disc to return to you before you can fire again. And I say this with it being my single favourite weapon.

I’m really glad you put the Harbinger where it belongs. A lot of people knock on deadlocked and downplay the harbinger for not being a “true” ryno but that shit completely erases everything with RAINBOW LASER BEAMS FROM THE SKY and actually paints the ground in burn marks for a while and I love it. I agree with almost everything on this list!

In UYA online you could throw mines in a certain pattern and freeze everyone's PS2s

You're so mistaken about the Glove of Doom in Rift Apart. You can take down a Grunthor in mere seconds by letting a dusin of bots gnaw at it, and they last for several minutes and follow you around, they even teleport to you if they can't walk directly. One of my favorite weapons from the game, vastly improved from the original game.

> Fat orange weapon that doesn't do much is the trump gun You mean the B6 Obliterator?

If this tierlist included full potential Deadlocked weapons like it does for other games, many of the weapons would be in much higher tiers. Dual Vipers on D is just utterly fucking ridiculous. Also I fucking like the Chopper. I love the way it arcs and flies towards the enemy without missing. Very satisfying.

Scorpion/Leviathan Flail is...orgasmically good.

Ryno 4 is insane, it's orders of magnitude better than the fifth, it kills the final boss 10 times faster than the fifth. Ryno 4 is extremely Broken, you shoot it mindlessly and it kills everything insanely fast

I think I'm the only one with this opinion but it was years ago but when I last played UYA I remember being really disappointed at the Ryno

LETS GOOO!!!! I’ve been waiting to see this video pop up. I’m glad you did this xem, because this tier list is huge

So right about the Scorpion Flail

No idea what chat was on about, the UYA's RYNO is crazy. It's a one-shot screen wipe.

I really hope the constructo system comes back one day

This is making me consider replaying the series from rac 1 to ra (minus 2016) to just relive it, I honestly don't remember tod like at all

hey Xem i just wanna let you know that i love your content. Ratchet and Clank is my favorite game series ever since i was a kid, and i love speedrunning. you’re one of my favorite Ratchet and Clank content creator. keep up the awesome work dawg. also i really wish RaC was more popular because i love it so much and i want to see more of it

Such a fair tier list how you go about it. Great video as always xem

JHO i just realised your vids are actually pretty recent! I dna why but I've been hit with a wave of RAC nostalgia...it started with listening to one OST (maktar nebula...boss fight) and now im this deep in the rabbit hole and found ur content to keep me nice and snug. Thnx 4 that man. I'm even prepping to download a ps3 emulator and to pickup where I left off with the RaC series!

Ryno 2 is absolutely the best weapon in the series

Honestly loved all the speedrunning info from the previous vid. Please continue factoring it in

The rocket launcher in Acit is called Negotiator.

Plasma Coil in S Tier. I knew you were good people Xem.

I dont want to die from cringe, so im going to like the video before watching it

me who only play Ratchet 2 - 3 - 4 in he old days . yeah, that seems right. RYNO 2 and HARBINGER deserve the spot . those 2 weapon are the main source of fun when you visit the game again when you finish the whole story

Happy to see my boy the Plasma Coil so high. Personally I like the glove of doom/Agents of doom weapons (I haven't played Rift Apart but boy I want to). Particularly I like RaC 1 Glove of doom as some extra fire support since I can't strafe during an engagement without the thruster pack. But I can see how being at a higher skill level with the games makes them less attractive. I'm a pretty casual player

Yay 3 hours I’m gonna watch this during and after work

I will never forget that as a kid, I somehow had enough bolts to buy the zodiac... like really early on that shipping planet...looking back I can't believe I didn't buy the RYNO II

Shock ravager grinds raritarium like no other weapon. There's a certain island on Sargasso that has a spawn spot for a ton of anklebiters, you can kill them all in one whip hit for a really good amount of the shiny crystals.

Discovering this years later as my need for R&C has resurfaced. I’ve tried All-4-One on like 6 different occasions and have never been able to finish it.

the ammount of creativity that goes into those wapons and the coding that follow is insane tho xd

The RA Glove of Doom is actually insane, though! You can spam out everything and at max level they just kill everything over and over again and they follow you until they explode to do mega damage!

The hunter mine launcher is absurdly fun just because of it's upgrade plus the mini bomb mod. Basically the stalker mine launcher launches mines that split into more mines and then the mini bomb mod makes the mines spit out even more bombs. Fun as fuck

After watching the previous R&C weapons tier list few weeks back, I knew I had to watch this one, too

Ahhh, OG RYNO. I got it on first playthrough because as a child I was so incompetent that I ended up grinding bolts in between attempts at the water section and bought the RYNO.

I think you're way too harsh on the Glove of Doom , should be in high C tier at least. In RA you can throw out like 20 of them at once and they will just eviscerate every ground level enemy super quick. Their explosion also does hurt enemies, you can dump raritanium into making the damage higher and radius larger. Also I played Nexus for the first time like 2 weeks before RA came out and I think the RYNO 7 was just a better RYNO 5 with better accuracy, deserves to be in S tier imo.

The groovytron is extremely OP in TOD because if you play the game on NG+ and go to the device vendor in the gelatunium factory. You can buy the golden groovytron for 3 or 2 million raritanium. It's like the groovytron but with infinite ammo of it and it has explosion damage that's pretty decent. So yeah it IS arguably the most CRACKED weapon in the game. And low-key imo the shield could be the second most OP weapon in the entire series in terms of defensive potency. The "Ryno" In deadlocked with the Ryno2 are equally placed in my heart

Hmm I believe you might be underestimating how much "I'm gonna throw this down and just have some damage happen" weapons appeal to us casuals.. At least I would overuse glove of doom and miniturrets to no end. They might not be great dps wise, but you can change to another weapon while they're still active. Especially of what I have seen of it in Rift Apart the Doombots follow you forever so you can just load into a map throw theese guys down and go on with your day, having an army of biters take care of smaller stuff or distracting bigger stuff while you take care of the bigger enemies. Then again I haven't actually played it so maybe I'm missing something

I agree with the Warmonger being so high but only because of the ITN, 2016 and Rift Apart versions. In A4O it's the strongest weapon but also has pitiful ammo, so I found the Plasmabomb more effective in almost every scenario, and in FFA it gets even less ammo and does basically piss all damage after expending all its ammo - again, Plasmabomb does way better. But in ITN it's busted as you don't even have to aim the thing, and in Rift Apart it's busted when combined with the Cold Snap, big agree there

You know what? It is time for my subscribe 😅 keep up the amazing work, greetings from germany ❤ Ps: haven't played rift apart yet 😭 Pps: i hope the stupid Tornado thing from Tools of destruction is in the clank zapper categorie just because you cant turn off six-axis for weapons😂

I expect big brain plays when ranking these.

I find the static barrier/repulser being a really good shield according to memory. But still. When ever I start a new game. It allways brings a smile to my face whenever I buy the shield charger/ Tesla barrier and the pda.

YEAYYYYYY I LOVE IT BRO GG HAPPY SATURDAY XEM92

Clank Zapper!!!! I forgot about that abysmal PoS lmao!! I remember being like, 3/4 playthroughs deep as a kid and realizing "Oh, I have all weapons done except this. Shit." And it being able to kill like, nothing."

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two weapons. - The Harbinger - RYNO 8 Me: They're the same weapon.

i love the youtube uploads lately for when we cant always watch live

My favourite weapon, the plasma coil, is in S tier and the N60 and Clank Zapper are the bottom 2 weapons. I respect you.

I’d say the decoy glove and the taunter are slightly better casually than you gave them credit for, but only because even casual players need to clip through walls so they can farm bolts on rilgar with the taunter. It’s insane how much you need to buy the ryno, all the weapons and all the gold upgrades in the first game, when compared to how many bolts you actually get just playing the game normally.

1:06:30 The Holo-shield launcher once glitched out on me. I had it with the polymorph mod for some reason, walked through it and it turned me into a duck. This was on the map that was loads of asteroids spaced apart. After I got morphed I fell off the map and died and lost all of my weapons. Turns out the game put them in a weapon pack like in multiplayer on the point that I hit the death plane. Weird shit.

I’ve found that the best and only use of the Visibomb in RaC2 is to scout through the Tabora desert and Grelbin arctic to find where tf the remaining crystals n shit are

Awesome video Xem

Firmly disagree about glove of doom I absolutely loved watching my army of bots tear apart enemies.

Wouldn't it make sense if plasma whip gave the idea for Scorpion flail? Another melee weapon, just increased in power/usefulness. Not as elegant as whip but cool in having the brute force of just smashing everything around

the b6 is underwhelming but still underappreciated imo its really good for spreading statuses over a really wide area and kills the shit out of anything below an executioner

After replaying going commando recently I never realized that the black sheepinator draws enemy aggro, so it's completely overpowered for arenas as once you sheep one enemy the rest either die to that sheep, or distracts the enemies long enough to sheep them too, it snowballs infinitely in the arena so you can save ammo for the bosses at the end.. can't remember if other morphing weapons did that. Also meteor gun is absolutely absurdly broken that even though it's 25k it kills yetis and leviathans basically instantly, the best casual weapon to use when hunting moon stones by far.

most fun way to play. send out all your support weapons. then choose from your favorite weapons to shoot

Scorpion flail is my favorite weapon too its too damn good to use

I love the thumbnail xD!!

Is it weird that i remember about 90% of the weapons in the series?

Nice tier list! Tho Dual Vipers, Holoshield Launcher and Mini Turret Launcher are quite underrated, rest is pretty accurate imo. When you get shock mod you can fire 1 or 2 Dual Vipers bullets out of like 200 to 300-ish ammo to clear all weaker enemies around you and stun medium enemies for a moment. You can also kinda stun-lock all non-vehicle enemies with the freeze mod the same way as you'd inevitably, safely kill with the Plasma Whip in UYA. Bullets also split when leveled up, affecting multiple enemies while richocheting around the surroundings for free stray kills/damage. The fire rate / damage output also isn't bad considering it's a free starter weapon and it has really long range. Lvls up fast too. Dual Vipers got quite a lot of utility/various uses, especially early to mid game. The Fusion Rifle kinda makes them obsolete, but if you're out of Fusion Rifle ammo, they can still do the job of killing most enemies from a distance. I don't remember other pistol weapons able to almost full-screen stun/K.O all small to medium enemies with a few bullets for which I'd put the Vipers in top B-tier at least, probably lower A. The Holoshield Launcher is quite good in certain missions and in the OG PS2 version they hit really hard when enemies touch them. Also infinite shield HP. You can put down 3 of them and not worry about projectiles for like 15-20 seconds, it's crazy. When leveled up they also fire back at enemies and hit pretty hard. You also get this weapon early game afaik before you've got the firepower to wipe out all enemies so fast you won't have to worry about enemy projectiles. Probably mid B-tier. The Mini Turret Launcher shreds all enemies and bosses on its own when leveled up. Imo best turret weapon in all of Ratchet damage/ammo/accuracy-wise. You put down 5 of them and won't have to worry about enemies for another 2-3 waves, even on Exterminator difficulty. With freeze mod they both stun-lock and kill all enemies around you. xD This weapon is like Hunter Mine Launcher but better because it just keeps going. Easily bottom S-tier. imo the only real bad weapon in that game is the B6 Obliterator. (Check this video for reference kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5mpbLWkxsnMomQ.html ) Dual Vipers getting more work done than the max level Magma Cannon is kinda interesting.

I know you said Rift Apart might be your new favorite in the series, and I think I agree. What was your favorite until now? Have you done a tier list for the games?

The wrench cancel trick for the suck cannon in uya, thank you sir.

3:00:58 The Holoshield glove is very underated. It can literally leech life from your enemies and give you health. At least C Tier imo.

I think you are underrating the mine glove. It is practically just the bomb glove but can home in on enemies. Especially with RaC 1's lack of strafe, I would say it is actually more useful than the bomb glove in at least 70% of circumstances. The damage is also solid as well, it isn't like it does nothing. At the very least, it should be C tier, up to A tier considering UYA multiplayer.

For me the bouncer was the first weapon I bought that felt like an actual “end game” weapon.

The chopper/multi-star isn’t very powerful, but it can be useful as it has great seeking abilities. I was stuck under the ledge in the room on Joba just before the Levitator. I was low on health so I took out the Multi-Star and fired some shots into the ceiling above the ledge and took out all of the enemies.

Y E S - I NEED THIS

Chopper Chris here. I actually think the Chopper holds up more than the Lancer in the early game (which is ironic since it's obtained after), but falls off, yes. You don't necessarily have to aim the gun at enemies, it can bounce off of walls whilst you ZR spam forward. The upgrade falls off after the Siberius boss (which it shreds btw). However I think for RaC2's early game, it's consistantly my most used weapon.

Hunter Mine + Time Bomb mod can occassionally clip enemies and at least the Leviathan boss off the map

If I ever get the chance to play all the RaC games (even though I plan to play Rift Apart first, since that game is freaking amazing), I might try to see how I would rank all the weapons in a tier list. Also, random question, who made your profile picture? It looks adorable

Speaking of Ratchet 1 weapons and their weakness in Ratchet 2... I did a while back ago RaC1 weapons only playthrough in Going Commando. Beginning and middle parts were fun but the end game was just pure nightmare. In Yeedil one enemy ship requires 20 Visibomb shots to get destroyed. In Grelbin I even couldn't kill Leviathans with Visibomb, stopped trying after 50 shots. That's kind a sad but hilarious at the same time

The pulse rifle can kill a dessert dune monster in two shots though, I don't get much else use out of it. But it is useful

Imma keep watching, but the Dual Vipers with the shock mod was nuts!!!

I love how the Clank Zapper is just lonely at the bottom

meteor gun with lock on mod is ridic good, it kills the final boss quicker than megarocket

57:18 SE is useless in campaign mode and is only used for one specific guy for one specific run... But it's absolutely phenomenal in multiplayer.

35:30 Doppelganger in FFA is B-C tier for campaign mode (or speedrun) but SS-S tier for multiplayer.

Now do every single song in RAC

For those who don't know this, the RYNO 3 shoots out a flippin super nova that essentially screen nukes everything on screen at V5 mind you

1:18:38 when i telling this in the chat i needed to go just after so i'm gonna give some info on this. When you use the cryoshot in R&C FFA on the medium or turret ennemies and you freeze them, use another gun and kill it. in pvp when you use that technique you just up all your weapons in 1 round so 5mn more or less, that work as well in the story mode but take much longer because you need more xp for up them. So maybe 20× time more xp is maybe a lot when i said that i don't know really the real number but it's completly broken for sure all the top player used that

harbinger is my all time favourite gun in all of the ratch and clank series... I haven't played rift apart though since I don't have a PS5 but I doubt anything from there can beat it in: looks, power, sound or overall feel. The harbinger is just too amazing and I'm not trying to suck up to it, and then you go to the next gun lol so much difference

I love your long KZfaq vids xem

It took me way too long to realize you weren't saying "Ouya" and was wondering when the fuck Ratchet got ported to that.

Thank you Xem

My fav weapon by far Is the rench- because as a kid I did not know I could buy weapons in the games 1+2. I only used the little blaster I was given in start lol

People complaining about RYNO 8 not doing damage to bosses clearly never cold snap > RYNO 8 crit Scolo. I could consistently get him from 70 to 0 in 1-2 shots

You absolutely need to do a NG+ run for each weapon where you can only use that weapon and the wrench

My fav pick from every RaC game will almost always be it’s rocket launcher. But my favorite rocket launcher is Minirocket Tube/Megarocket Cannon so that’s my #1.

Thank god the are some guys still left that remember the weapon contest that insomniac did. I remember trying to design a futuristic bow with energy arrows for ratchet. Too bad i sucked back then.

No gun has sounded as good as the blaster from Ratchet and Clank 1. I miss that game.

I wonder if I ever played UYA multiplayer with you back in the day. What usernames did you go by? Side note: The mine glove just always make me think of Hoven gorge games where if you were good you knew all the nooks and crannies to hide mines like for example when people would jump on the jump pads or in the corner when you enter the rooms connected to the big tunnel in the center.

People looking at RYNO 2 through nostalgia filter. RYNO IV literally is the only weapon needed to beat ToD. Like equip on Kerman NG+ and use it through every single planet to win and you probably won’t even ever run out of ammo. It is the best RYNO

Fully upgraded R&C2 shield is the best weapon and it's not even close. With it on you can just fly through the whole planet without killing anyone with weapons (except bosses)

after a week i finally watched the whole vid
