Dad Weapons

What even are these? I got called a, and I quote, "sweating dad of 5 with no f-ing neck" in messages while using a retold tale and ace of spades the other day. He preceded this by saying I was only using "dad weapons" and honestly I don't even know what this means. Can anyone clarify?

  • lol the fact that he messaged you about your 'dad' weapons would indicate he was upset that said 'dad' weapons had killed him and/or his teammates. take it as a compliment that your skill with your 'dad' weapons bested him and whatever type of 'meta' weapons he thought he was using. lol

  • It means you killed him/her repeatedly, but it's not his/her fault and they're still better than you. Kid logic. I have two son's, so I'm well experienced with it.

  • I just ask some of the clan (who are sweating little kids just to clarify) and apparently all of the strong non pinnacle weapons that can be used to carry are the dad guns, so guns like ace,retold,trust,ageoldbond (any auto really) the duke, you guys get the picture. I've also been told my saint 14 bubble titan with perfect paradox is so dad it's almost get off my lawn grandpa.

      If I had to take a guess I'd say it means they think you're bad. Like someone's dad trying to play. They're probably kids themselves. People just come up with random things to say in hatemail. I was playing Assassin's Creed once and some guy over voice chat called me a n*****. I was blown away by the blatant and completely baseless racism.

      • Haha that's gold. What a crack up burn "sweating dad of 5 with no f-ing neck" Whats the no neck reference about as well? They probably felt like they got spanked by you and your weapons so there for it brought up their recent memories of getting spanked by their dad. There are dads who kick ass and take names and then there are the kids who cry about it. Being the dad is probably the better of the two.

        • "Dad weapons" are pulse rifles. That guy is an idiot.

        • It's honestly strange. I got called that for suggesting characters need to do more than be vending machines, and have them simply be friendly AI. Given the context I guess that means I want help with content from AI? I mean it would be nice, but it was more the experiential aspect it would lend to missions and whatnot that I was after. Oh and the people saying it are probably average at best anyway.

        • So if crutch weapons are dad guns, what are kid guns? Guns like not forgotten or mountain top that take days of play time to get 1 gun?

        • I'm not sure what "dad" guns are. I would probably get hate mail for my Service Revolver (Kill Clip really does 3 tap, and it's got some serious range) if I allowed randumbs to send me messages. I'm usually in the game with one goal in mind, and it isnt to listen to little kids whine about getting beat.

          • One of my clan mates got a similar message while we were in a 6 stack. Said “enough dad stacking. Back to work.” Our average age was like 27.

          • I wouldnt consider ace and retold tale to really be dad weapons though. Most people that use that term think of dad weapons as lord of wolves, jotunn, and any pulse rifle.

              If he was using Dust Rock, Lunas/NF, Service Revolver, Blast Furnace, Outbreak, Erentil, Jotunn, Wizened Rebuke, Recluse, Beloved... well you get the picture, anything thats meta right now (which is actually quite a lot of guns tbh) then he was a dirty hypocrite lol

                It means low skill weapons. As in you're a dad who has no time to invest into the game so you use low skill weapons for easier kills in PVP. Secretly it means that whoever you killed was triggered about being killed over and over, either because their lack of skill or because of other failings. "Dad Weapons" is simply a pejorative they use to temper their own insecurity by making an excuse for why they got killed.

                    • Its the flavor of the week for child gamers since the streamers have all latched onto the term "lord of dads" or "dad of wolves" as if most gamers now aren't an average age of 35.
