T5W#186-Top 5 Devil May Cry Weapons

Hey, hey, guess what? DEVIL MAY CRY IS BACK BITCHES!!!  It’s been 11 long years since the introduction of Nero and the return of everyones trench coated giant sword wielding demon bad ass Dante.  Don’t think the time gap has dulled my interest, or the interest of others.  Cue the hard pounding music and trippy action visuals in any trailer with the true Dante (not his DmC: Devil May Cry incarnation) and you’ll get action loving gamers ready for more.  But today, we’re here to talk about the one thing Devil May Cry has always tried to top itself in beyond the insane action: the weapons.  Guns, swords, armor, demonic possessions, you name it and it’s been used to massacare poor demons before sending them back to Hell.  Choosing 5 of these bad boys (and girls in some cases) is tough since Dante and Nero have the ultimate monster slaying armory.  Let’s give it a try anyway, here are my Top 5 Devil May Cry Weapons

 

#5-Cavaliere (Devil May Cry 5)

It’s a motorcycle that can split itself into two buzzsaw swords…F’ING WHAT!!!!!????  Ive only glimpsed this beauty in a couple of promo clips for DMC5, hence why it isn’t higher on the list but come on…who doesn’t want a ride like this in their lives?  I cannot wait to test it out when the game finally drops.

 

 

#4-Blue Rose (Devil May Cry 4, Devil May Cry 5)

A solid follow up sidearm to differentiate Nero from Dante, Blue Rose is a double barrel revolver that, much likes its dual wielded cousins, can mow down legions of demons without the need for reloading.  Blue Rose can also charge its shots for maximum damage and, tbh, it just looks like a really, really cool gun.  Imagine if Dirty Harry and Hellboys weapons somehow conceived an offspring: Blue Rose would be said offspring.  Sure it might not have the rapid firepower of Ebony and Ivory but Blue Rose is still a gun no normal human could ever handle.

 

 

#3-Ebony and Ivory (Devil May Cry Series)

You cant have a demon hunting video game without a pair of trusty pistols at your side.  The second Dante pulled these babies out to take out Trish’s motorcycle, I knew I was gonna have a literal blast.  Ebony and Ivory are always the handiest pistols for keeping enemies at bay before moving in for the kill.  They also never run out of ammo (then again I don’t think any gun in Devil May Cry ever does). With a bottomless clip and so many stylish ways to use them, Ebony and Ivory are the signature guns of devil hunter Dante and weapons befitting anyone who wants to call themselves the King of Kicking Demon Ass.

 

 

#2-Yamato (Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening, Devil May Cry 4)

Dante’s brother Virgil is one of the coolest villains in gaming.  His cold, calm yet ruthless demeanor; his slick character design, anyone who looks this awesome deserves a weapon to compliment them.  Enter Yamato: a sick Japanese katanna that once belonged to Dante and Virgils father, Sparda.  This is one of the single greatest blades in history period.  Long, sharp and capable of cutting down the mightiest of demons to ribbons in a couple of quick and unseen slashes.  Though this sword is used by both Dante and Nero in the series as well, the best experience with Yamato is still using it in Virgil’s campaign in Devil May Cry 3.  So freaking cool.

 

 

#1-Agni and Rudra (Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening)

The moment I got to see these blades in action the first time, I didn’t want to use any other weapon in DMC3, even if I ended up getting more later on.  The curved with spikes design is cool enough.  But watching Dante dances firey circles around his enemies wielding these bad boys and being able to connect them together for some quick double bladed weapon action is still something I could watch on repeat in any game til the end of time.  As much as I hope we get to see these two blades again down the line, I feel like theyre exclusively tied to Devil May Cry 3…which is fine cause that’s still my favorite entry so far (at least until I give Devil May Cry 5 a shot) and I’ll return every once in a while to play that game just to weild Agni and Rudra one more time.
