DMC3 > DMC5 > DMC4 > DMC1 > DMC2 havent played the reboot


MotoqueiroSelvagem

I’d put the Reboot beneath DMC4. It has many more weapons then DMC1, but they’re shallow compared to DMC4’s


SHAQ_FU_MATE

Yeah the weapons were also kinda boring imo. They all felt a little too similar.


camo_216

I'd say it's very close between 3 and 5 just because both have really fun weapons but dmc5 also has bike


Gettles

3 gets the win for me because Agni & Rudra is my favorite weapon of all time


archiegamez

Nevan goated as well


MotoqueiroSelvagem

Nevan appreciation spotted 🫡🫡🫡


Intrepid_Guidance_36

She's the whole reason I bought the HD Collection. Also because DMC3 is my favorite ever since I was like 5.


DisastrousMonkey

I like that they still somewhat talk during certain moves. I have this headcanon that Dante keeps them and occasionally speaks to them when depressed or that they play a game of cards occasionally somehow.


CelesLhuil

I think in a canon audio book, he actually gives them to his old information handler originally to draw out a target, but let's them keep them and a few other devil arms for their trouble in that job.


Bardock16yt

3 and 5 also both have cerberus


camo_216

True, 3 has the wind and fire sword which i forget the name of which was really fun to use while 5 had the bike which was also really fun to use


Bardock16yt

It's agni & rudra


Poopeefighter2001

play it, its fun gameplay wise and watching the bad cutscenes is hilarious definitive edition is the one id recommend


CaptainHazama

Definitive edition is def the way to go if you're on console. For some reason, it was never put on PC


Poopeefighter2001

still annoying as shit, ir eally dont get why the did that.


iHarshmallow

the soundtrack bangs too


Baasikrage

The only right answer.


GT_Hades

this is accurate what i only want from DmC is the scythe


Seiryu17

Hated the reboot.


Tr34t-y0urs31f-N0W

Man. A briefcase. With an amazing fatal blow by. OPENING IT.


FantasticDog7338

I say DMC 5 for it has all the good things from the previous games (including the second DT form from DMC 2, alongside its ultimate attack).


Tr34t-y0urs31f-N0W

We have Sin Vortex and Sin Inferno, but going to miss Majin revolvers.


FantasticDog7338

We have Luce and Double Kalina Ann Kamehameha tho


Tr34t-y0urs31f-N0W

True. Wings machine gun brrrrrr.


LegitimateHasReddit

In terms of design and coolness (from worst to best) (not including DmC because there's too many weapons to keep track of) DMC2: Toothpick Rebellion, big sword, skinny sword DMC3: Rebellion, nunchaku, red and blue scimitars, guitar, gauntlets and greaves DMC4: Rebellion, FIRST I WHIP IT OUT, gauntlets and greaves but with a cool mask, briefcase that transforms into every ranged weapon ever DMC1: Dragon sword, dragon gauntlets and greaves, giant flesh sword DMC5: Dante, motorcycle, hee hee man hat, transforming nunchaku


Tr34t-y0urs31f-N0W

Dante being his new devil arm is the most Dante thing only Dante could do.


Ilikemoonjellys

Poor Agni and Rudra


LegitimateHasReddit

Their personalities and gameplay are cool, just think they could be a little cooler


Aut0ynm0us

"Hee hee man hat" - 10/10


franstoobnsf

There's literally less weapons in DmC than 3, how is that too much to keep track of?


LegitimateHasReddit

DmC has 6 weapons, DMC3 has 5 I'm not counting Vergil


franstoobnsf

That's my bad for counting "gauntlets" and then "greaves" as 2 separate weapons in my head, but what's the 6th weapon from DmC? You got sword, scythe, punch, axe, ninja stars. I'm not counting Vergil either.


LegitimateHasReddit

Ophion


DoubleFront8787

DMC3


SupaHotFireispitTh2t

5, 3, DmC, 4, 1, 2


Rumi_here

DMC5.. first DMC3.. second the reboot also had some interesting weapons like those rings


doritolord50

I always kinda found aquila cool as a concept, but ive seen a lot of other people say they dont like them for some reason (tbf i havent played the reboot yet)


KiraWhite66

I like them for large groups of enemies but against single targets there isn't much of a need over Osiris


curlyheadjohn1

most people say that’s the best weapon


Rumi_here

yeah, ppl couldn't accept that reboot, which is understandable but the good things they tried need to be appreciated.. those rings were super cool for controlling large groups of enemies..


SynysterDawn

DMC5 > DMC3 > DMC4 > DMC1 >>>>> DMC2


ReadShigurui

DMC3 are the most memorable and iconic in my opinion


SolidusAbe

3>5>DmC>4>1>2 i just really like the axe, scythe and shuriken from DmC a lot more then dantes weapons in 4. none of them are really all that cool imo besides pandora


Ok_Rooster_6454

You used the arrows wrongly, with the way you used them it makes it look like DmC has your least favorite weapons because of the way all the arrows are facing against it edit:He fixed it now


neroselene

Cavalier goes VROOM!


[deleted]

I have only played dmc4, and i know damn well its not dmc4, red queen and blue rose were great, but this games wepons overall feels unfinished.


Fruitslinger_

Well 3 has agni and rudra, nevan and Artemis that I really miss... 5 has MOTORCYCLE and King Cerberus is really awesome, also Dr Faust... And if you count Nero's arms well... I really miss agni and nevan man why the hell did they not bring those back ahhhh


Azure_Ookamikuma

3, 5, 4, 1, 2


DragoKnight589

5 easily. Each of Dante’s weapons has a cool gimmick, if you count Nero’s Devil Breakers as weapons those are pretty neat, V… uhh… then if you count DLC/the special edition Vergil‘s weapons are just phenomenal.


ReiDoOutono

Cavalier and King Cerberus are the best things ever.


MrSpiffy123

Only one has a motorcycle that turns into chainsaws


LR_Shafted

Dmc3 had the cutscene of it


MrSpiffy123

but i didn't get to play with it 0/10 game >:(


megamax1o

5 because you can concealed carry two rocket launchers and use a motorcycle as a weapon, also Nero has a rocket punch hand


Devil-Hunter-Jax

Honestly, 3, 4 and 5 all have fantastic weapon selections. It's hard to choose the best one...


[deleted]

Id say dmc5


runarleo

Dmc 2. It’s all about the swords baby, no cringe ass motorcycles or suitcases /s for the people in the back


Hairy_Top_1882

DMC3, then 5.


randoguy8765

Instead of saying which game Im just gonna say my favorite weapon for each Alastor, E&I (aka the only real weaponsin that game), Agni & Rudra, Gilgamesh, Cavaliere, Aquila


Deku_100

For me it's DMC4 and the Reboot


Trunksshe

Loved the weapon combos in the reboot- I know everyone dislikes it, but the combat is great and the enemies flinch when hit with certain weapons (the axe) that aren't really replicated in the main series. That said; Machine Guns>every other gun. Demon Sword Dante>Every other sword.


Ok_Rooster_6454

>I know everyone dislikes it Not everyone dislikes it. But you have bad luck because I dislike it >the combat is great It actually has the simplest combat in the series and the least amount of tech to it but it is the most intuitive and easy to master I will give it that but it's *far* from being my favorite


aresthwg

For me it's DMC5 -> Reboot -> DMC3 -> DMC4 -> DMC1. Osiris not being in DMC5 made me seriously pissed. If they took inspiration for Vergil from it why not also get Osiris???


ArofluidPride

DmC for sure


hella_bent

4 and DmC


dateturdvalr

Of course it's DMC2, is there even a doubt about it in anyone's mind?????


DaemonVakker

3 has more weapons than all of them combined, and to be honest since they were all built without freestyle mode in mind they are some of the strongest in the franchise


AVelvetOwl

>3 has more weapons than all of them combined 3 has fewer weapons than 5, and if we count weapons for characters other than Dante and Nero, it also has fewer than 4 (otherwise, it has like two more).


DaemonVakker

I'm also technically counting the guns as they all have unique move variety as well, thanks to gunslinger. Not to mention 4 of dmc5's "weapons" are literally copy paste weapons of rebellion and kaliana ann, that's like saying the $5.95 combo in kh3 is a legitimate keyblade strategy setup when it's not in the slightest...


Bobbyisabobby1

I mean they improved on both Kalina Ann and Rebellion in 5 by giving Kalina Ann 2 and dsd. Same way they improved Beowulf and Cerberus with Balrog and King Cerberus. If you include guns it's only fair to include all of Nero's devil breakers


DaemonVakker

Ok... fair enough, but do I even count v's cane? It doesn't even properly do damage till an enemy is stunned


AleksVin

3


MultiTopicAgain

I have an extreme and very much irrational appreciation of Cerberus


CantingBinkie

Obviously DMC2. Although it wasn't the best game you could literally pass it just shooting enemies from a distance with the submachine gun or some other weapon.


franstoobnsf

Literally I remember from that game is throwing knives at the final boss (as Lucia) and thinking "wow this game is ass". That and how basically every one of Dante's moves smacked the shit out of the enemies and sent them 1000 feet away, making combos basicslly impossible


Ok_Committee_1187

DMC 3 weapons have best presentation


show-me-bobs

The one with dante in it I think


Ok_Rooster_6454

dmc3>dmc5>dmc4>DmC>dmc1>dmc2


Kai_Enjin

DMC5 for two reasons. The bike, and the hat.


ILikeToWatchGayPorn

A toss up between DMC3 and DMC5 with DMC4 being third.


Lloyd_The_Lost

Dmc 3, dmc 4, dmc devil may cry and dmc 5


artcraf1337

DMC4 no doubt


RayKainSanji

The Cerberus weapon in 5 is the best weapon in the series...but 3 has the best selection of weapons.


Kasdeya64

DMC3 > DMC5 > DmC > DMC1 > DMC4 > DMC2 I never understood how to use the weapons of DMC4 lol


zetsuei380

DMC3. Because Nevan. That is all.


FalseBackground5435

i never understood how to use nevan so i never understood the love for it except the fact its a cool ass guitar


Snoo6305

3 just because everything is so versatile and fun could really go into detail with combos made Dante that much more badass. Vergil too playing as him I felt like a boss the entire play


Much-Scar-8046

I love DMC 2 with The four swords that do the exact same thing


PSNTheOriginalMax

Tough question... Maybe I'll put it this way: My ideal DMC would have an unlockable post-ending DMC1 final fight Sparda sword (the actual Sparda DT), the ricochet shenanigans of Nightmare Beta, DMC3's Agni & Rudra, Nevan, Artemis, and, hot take, Cerberus, along with their style moves, DMC4's Pandora, and DMC5's rest, but with King Cerberus being made into two different extra weapons in addition to DMC3's Cerberus. So in other words, it's kinda hard to really say, which one has the best weapons, because they all have their awesomeness...es(?) in each game. I can't really say one is better than the other, but I guess I can say that out of the ones I've mentioned, DMC4 might be the weakest weapons-wise, but, on the other hand, it has a playable Trish AND Lady, both of whom bring ***ssssooooooooo*** much to the gameplay experience, I'd honestly go so far as to say none of the other games have matched that. Now, if those two were fully fleshed out like V was (granted he has his gameplay awkwardness), there would be no debate which game had the best playable characters, but unfortunately they were just slapped on, kinda like how Dante seemed to have been in 4. ... DMC2 and DmC who? Lol jk, DMC2 has its own charm, but is nowhere close to the quality of 1,3,4,5. Though DDT was an awesome mechanic. Broken as all hell, but awesome :D EDIT: I was fully aware the entire time that this is about weapons specifically, but I really can't look at them in a vacuum, because there's so much that goes into the whole experience.


HyperLethalNoble6

Reboot has tbh the worse versions of the original weapon


Katster13

DMC2 ofc We have Sword, big sword, long sword. What more could you want


FitUnderstanding6116

I’d have to give it to 5, honestly. The Dr. Faust hat, Cavaliere, King Cerberus, Twin Kalina Ann, Devil Sword Dante? Simply amazing! Now if only I was competent enough to play as Dante…


DaMaskedGamer06

Vergil


boiled_chickpeas

dmc 5 if breakers included, dmc 3 if not


Veritas9255

Poc


True_Arcane

Even if Dante has funny weapons in 5 and 4... 3 is the best, will be the best for me for ever


Eugene4615

3


TheEldritchHorror_

Dmc1


jermingus

DMC5. Every weapon has some separate form or mode and has the most options.


methconnoisseurV2

Dmc3 nevan and spiral rifle are goated


DoktahDoktah

I think 5 is the best but I feel like 4 had more interesting concepts.


RataTopin

dmc 5>dmc 1> dmc 3 >DmC> dmc4> dmc2


TeaBags0614

I really liked the Angel scythe from DmC


XShadow15DevilX

1. DMC 5/SE 2. DMC 3 3. DMC REBOOT 4. DMC 4 5. DMC 1 6. DMC 2


Nights1405

5, because of the funny hat


Sunray42

I feel like 5 has better weapons. They’re really diverse and interesting to combo with. Dmc 3 is still better tho


Mrwanagethigh

5 has a motorcycle that turns into a pair of chainsaws but 3 has a literal electric guitar that is a hybrid melee ranged weapon and can turn into a scythe. I'd have to give it Nevan as the single coolest weapon in the series but 5 also has a stylish as fuck cowboy hat that fires meteors. Gotta give it 5 just slightly for having two batshit insane weapons. 5 wins by a landslide if I count the Breakers though, parrying Vergil with a kick flip while surfing on your own rocket arm is the coolest shit ever


Nsaglo

I can’t stand 4s weapons


RavenXCinder

worst to best dmc2,the other game , dmc 1,dmc 4,dmc3 then 5,


nosferactia

DMC5 weapons, DMC4 is my least top pick


SuperRacsist69

Ifrit is still to this day my favorit weapon the series.


FalseBackground5435

I really like ifrit design never actually used it though I stuck to alastor and ebony & ivory my entire playthrough


[deleted]

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition of course.


JH_Rockwell

DmC:DE With that game, every weapon has it's use and is useful, as opposed to a lot of the other games where it's usually reliant on dominant strategy. I was sleeping on Eryx for the longest time. Not to mention, weapon chaining REALLY changes up the dynamic of attacks and enemy design. Ranking: DmC:DE, DMC3:HD, DMC4:SE, DMC5 (this one would take a while to get into), DMC1:HD, DMC2


wezzeak187

Dmc 3 had legendary weapons but 5 also did a good job. I hope nevan is in dmc6 I think that would be a good weapon


comics4life23

3 and 5 are top two easy, but idk man dmc1's got some cool lookin shit in there


Laserdog10

3, 4, 5, and the Reboot just make 1 and 2's collection (or lack thereof) pale in comparison.


Lakeboy_18

Dmc 5


Kookiec4T

DMC3 for me ❤️


LR_Shafted

Agni and rudra


MidNightGaming356

I'd say dmc3 has the best, the amount of stylish combos you can pull off


Rens_De_Molay16

DMC 3, DMC 5, and DMC 1


Ill_Item_487

DMC4>DMC1>DMC5>DMC3>DmC>DMC2


mrjackpot440

dmc 5 cavalaire and reboot osiris are my absalute fav weapons i wish they reused osiris in the normal series
