I feel like something they could have done to differentiate the mortar from the napalm is give the napalm no splash damage but buff the lingering fire damage, or even just make the mortars rarer but hit even harder so they're like the power missile to the napalm's fire missile. The fact they functioned so similarly has always bugged me a little.
23:40, i played TM4 countless times, but never got to have the Auto Lob to go up LOL. And you forgot to mention that if you are indoors, that weapon is 100% useless since it won't release its missiles (or whatever they are) and therefore the enemy gets unscathed
worth mentiioning that TM4's Rain 2 is much more likely to garner some hits when enemies are in the air - such as going off ramps or Amazonia's launch pad things.
In terms of the Stalker missile, you can just fire it straight forward like a Power missile without charging it if you want, the charge just increases the homing ability the longer you hold it. Interestingly, the Stalker missile you can cancel the charge by switching weapons without losing it, whereas other weapons/games either don't let you cancel the charge or make you lose the weapon if you do, like the 2012 Swarmers
I’ve been asking for this and for damage testing with each one. 🤘 A really good strategy for the remote bombs is to use them in the same way as the Supernova Shockwave. Turn shields on first.
The Swarmer Missile in 2012 is strong, can reach up to 70 damage max, but to reach that, you have to pay attention to the lights and the sound they make, similar to Roadkills special from Black The Gas Can is also a dual weapon because it is also a remote bomb
I just miss twisted metal so much. Its annoying they only ever port TMB, or TM2 to current day consoles. I want to be able to play Small brawl, 3, 4, 2012, and head on again. They really need to cook some sort of remasters to coincide with the season 2 of the tv show.
You honestly surprised me with saying the Mega-Guns are the best pickup in all of Twisted Metal, I would never have thought of them! But I most certainly agree with you on that! They are so broken but soo good!! Also... 26:24 Really!!? You're saying the Remote Bombs are useless in TM4? I'm not trying to say your wrong or anything, but I honestly don't get it! I've always had a great time using the Remote Bombs in TM4! They have always been really good for me! That game actually made me love that weapon in the first place and made me want to use it more! Sure they are not as strong as the ones in TM2, but I'd say they did pretty good damage! at least for me! But hey, that's just my opinion on the matter... :>
Hope you're feelin okay dude, voice was sounding a little rough but good vidya as always. Also love seeing the sniper/shotgun pretty high up, passenger gunners are always a thing I thought was really cool in car combat games.
The rain missile in Twisted Metal 3 should have had a "super fire" effect, maybe differentiated by making the flames red or blue, that did double damage and couldn't be put out with turbo, to at least make it usable or even still make up for the asinine circular pattern the missiles erupt in.
From what I've seen, the Oil Slicks (that's their name according to the manual of the game) don't actually affect the CPU cars in any way, which is plain stupid since it's still a pick-up in the tournament mode. It'd be nice if it worked as you could use it to make enemies slip off the L.A. Rooftops. Since it has no effect whatsoever outside the 2-player mode, it definitely is the worst weapon in the series. As for the Tire Spikes, they are actually a decent weapon as they DO inflitct damage (just look at Warthog's health bar in your video while you were using them) along with the fact the cars are slowed down for a short period of time, which can also be very useful in that game when you're low on health and can't stop being chased by a fast car, mainly in the Freeway level (they come in packs of 3 too). The fact that the cars get slowed down is actually a feature I find very cool. It could have actually been carried on to TM2, but since there were already other better weapons for such purpose such as a rear Ricochet, mine, rear freeze, there was no more need for those. EDIT: Oh, and they're actually better than the Catapults since these in fact deal no damage by themselves.
#15 There was something about the sniper rifle in TM2012 that was special lol, online I always grabbed it as soon as it spawned and went to the highest point of the maps to play Sniper Elite XD, got a lot of wins off of it as well I was always in top 3 if I wasn’t number 1 in kills.
we need a new twisted metal game! its been over 10 years but Playstation is more interested in angering their fanbase with live service games that continue to fail.
I love seeing more TM content on RUclips c: Also what did you do to get TM:Head On looking so crispy? When I try and run the PS2 version on emulator it has a ton of graphics issues and all of the textures look like mud.
A little odd to me that you bundled the Ricochet RC car from 2012 with the Remote Bomb, cause that's just the game's incarnation of the Ricochet (it does say Ricochet when you pick it up but a lot of other places in game just say RC cause it's shorter), either way the 2012 ricochet rc car is just kind of odd, like it's a lot slower than every other game's ricos, though it still gives you the bounce bonus. The charge on the other hand, actually makes it do LESS damage if you get a direct hit, in exchange for being able to remote detonate it (can't remember if this does anything to the bounce bonus)
The biggest thing for the mortar for me was in TM3 the thing was so long range with a nice arc that sort of homed in, in TM4 the thing is a mess, super short range and not really worth using. Unless you do the TM3 roadkill strat and point blank lmao.
My biggest problem with the Roman Candles is that they take up so much of your inventory. Your max inventory is 40 and the Roman Candles take up 10 slots. That's 25% of your inventory. They can be decently useful at times, but not enough to be worth all that space. I'd also put the Ricochet higher, but I love getting bank shots so I am pretty biased towards it, I will admit. The homing missiles in Head-On are slept on. Hitting two of them deals 20 dmg, which is equal to a power missile. Getting that much dmg with little effort is very good. I'd argue they're the 3rd best homings behind TM1 and TM2.
Are you talking about the PS2 version of Head on or PSP? Mainly asking because on the PS2 version EVERY weapon is pretty over powered to the point that nothing really sticks out as good or bad haha
the only thing I think I disagree with your list on is your brief comment on the TM4 remote - you said it was bad. While the knockback is nothing to ride home about compared to in TM3, I think TM4's remote bomb still does decent damage. Couple this with how slick and quick you can place and explode remotes as you're turbo'ing! In TM2 and 3, sometimes they explode right when you place them for seemingly no reason! And of course, you can also use the remote bomb to get rid of the train, helicopter and that pesky ROLLING METAL!!!!
My first thought was speed missiles because man those are crap but yeah, I did forget those TM1 weapons as I never really played the first much. I had that thing where I played TM2 first and I think even 3 before as well,so when I played TM1 I was not very satisfied lol. Yeah those TM1 weapons are definitely worse but at least it had the excuse of first game syndrome. Speed missiles just suck.

You're like a power missile. Always straight to the point and going strong! 😂🎉
Yooooo Thank you so much Monkey!! Legend!
WWWWWWW

Reticle is a kings weapon if you get the charge and spacing down man. This list was pretty accurate though

Funnily enough I feel like fire missiles home better than homing missiles in tm black sometimes

TMB gas cans at 18 is criminal. Should be number one. ZERO INTEGRITY.
@@dessadoo naw they straight ASS
Head on gas can are so much better

Keep up the good work man, videos help pass the time and great to listen to.

Twisted Metal is my favorite. I just recently got Small Brawl and I like it
Oil spill is only a good weapon if you're British Petroluem, and hate marine life.

Hmmm ever considered Rating each Stage Soundtrack or Rate the Non-Licensed Music of each game? I'm always a big fan of Subjective lists
Great list! Turbo is best boi, speed is king :P

You think the oil slick would be more useful if it's flammable?
For sure!
Fire Missile only Number 25? Heretic. You will pay for committing such an atrocious sin.

Absolutely insane that you did this. You made THE fucking twisted metal every weapon ranking video. 🫡
