Welcome to Inspired BURST!
Long overdue, the updated release to the pack of weapons from the 2024 weapon competition is here!
Inspired BURST! offers an exciting selection of 15 unique weapons based on other games made by various community members.
Learn about the weapons below, or just skip straight ahead and download the file!
Snake Whip by PinkRoboBlaster Whoosh, crack! This snake-shaped whip comes from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and can pick up items from afar, bringing them right back to you. This game-changing power comes especially in handy for getting those hard to reach weapons or valuable large energies!
Cra's Range by StardustMotion There's no escape from this sharpshooting weapon based on the Paralyzing Arrow spell from Dofus' Cra class! Although it has a minimum range, nailing a distant opponent with an arrow from this weapon will cripple their mobility and give you a speed boost when chasing them!
Alucard Sword by CutmanMike Not even walls will keep you safe... Behold, the Alucard Sword! Based on the eponymous weapon from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alucard Sword is a fairly standard melee weapon until charged. At max charge, this spectral sword will allow you to phase through your surroundings to attack anyone cowering behind cover!
Artery Core by MegaVile Utilize powerful energy straight from the Core of Cave Story's island with this rapid firing weapon! Deceptively simple, this weapon really packs a punch. Keep the pressure up for long enough and you'll have the chance to nail your enemies with a massive, ripping ball of energy!
Deadly Malware by Ec1ip5e As potent as it is feared, Deadly Malware is a weapon that is every bit as threatening as its name would imply. Based on the Treant enemy's Deadly Wrap from Sonny, this dual-purposed weapon homes in on targets and anyone unlucky enough to be hit has to stay perfectly still or suffer catastrophic explosive damage!
Electric Burst by Chimmii Aim for the sweet spot! This lightning fast spreading projectile is a combination of customizations from, fittingly enough, Mighty Gunvolt Burst! By holding the Fire button down, you can control the distance the projectile flies before it splits. Detonating it inside someone will lead to a huge payoff!
Gyro Boots by Woolock Utilize the power of the spin with Gyro Boots, an heirloom hailing from Shovel Knight: King of Cards! While active you'll smack around anyone nearby, but where this weapon truly shines is its unrivaled vertical mobility! You'll passively climb any walls you're near and gain a double (and triple!) jump if activated in the air!
Judgement Rush by Hilman170499 You cannot run from death... or from Judgement Rush! One of the curios featured in Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, this weapon lets you lock onto a foe and chase them down with a flying slash! You'll get the most out of this weapon if you can land the big slash at the end of your chase, so try to corral your prey for maximum damage!
Hammer Throw by Barrels O' Fun Time for a rain of pain! Hammer Throw, based on the Hammer Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3, flings arcing hammers in rapid succession in at unsuspecting foes! Your hammers will do more damage the longer they fall for, and aiming up will give you an incredible lob. Try for the 2HKO dream!
Moon Gas by ThéophileCaceres Capitalize on confusion with the hallucinogenic Moon Gas! This ultra unique weapon is based on the Red Smoke from Poppy Playtime and provides you with incredible crowd control capabilities. Lay down a thick cloud of smog and anyone who dares approach will be heavily slowed and begin to see and hear illusions!
Magnet Sphere by Ukiyama I see you... ZAP! Inspire fear in your foes with Magnet Sphere, a powerful weapon based on the spell from Terraria! When fired, Magnet Sphere fires a magical orb of energy that rains constant lightning down on anyone close to the orb. Don't sleep on direct hits with this weapon, either; it can really pack a wallop!
Youkai Buster by Reemu Prepare to be purified! Youkai Buster, taking inspiration from Reimu Hakurei's many powers from the Touhou franchise, is a multifaceted shotgun-style weapon. Its power grows as you wail on foes, firing more and more projectiles... and that's doubled with draining ammo from their selected weapon!
Plasma Spark by Korby Behold the supercharged Plasma Spark! Based on the Plasma ability from Kirby Super Star and the Spark ability from later games, this unique charge weapon gains power by tapping your movement keys! Each level of charge acts differently, but at max strength you'll fire a huge ball of plasma that can go through walls!
Zangetsuto by Russel Slay the horrors of the night with the Zangetsuto! This frightening blade based around Zangetsu's most powerful techniques from the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon series replaces your Mega Buster with a quick-slashing sword! Run fast, double jump, and slash foes with a devastating three hit combo!
Rocket Grab by Trillster The time of man has come to an end! Based on the most iconic part of Blitzcrank's skillset in League of Legends, the Rocket Grab launches out a hand to grab your opponents and drag them kicking and screaming back to you! If you distance yourself right, you'll charge up a Power Fist and slam your victim into the air with a massive uppercut!
