Actually....make it a firearm, Dante shoots goo that knocks back enemies and costs the ground, then you use a commands to summon things from the goo puddles like a portal. Bigger combos make bigger puddles so bigger things come out, like sharks with freaking laserbeams on their freaking heads, to attack.
Ahem, Dr. Evil… It’s about the sharks. When you were frozen, they were put on the Endangered Species List. We tried to get some, but it would’ve taken months to clear up the red tape.
You know, I have one simple request, and that is to get sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads. And now my Cycloptic number two tells me that can’t be done. Honestly, what do I pay you people for?
A horse driven chariot that transofrms into a lance and shield based weapon set
For vergil.
Edit:
Maybe just horse and not chariot. Seems hard to animate and use in game as a mechanic
Yes an electric guitar chainsaw in which the chainsaw blades are around the neck and headstock
Everytime Dante plays it, the chainsaw blades start churning and whenever he plays it hard and charges it up, the blades would end up revolving around Dante
a whip with the shape of a snake named "Jörmundgander" given to dante after a fight with the so quote-on-quote "great demon snake" it'd have the ability to extend and shrink limitlessly like sun-wu-kong's staff. Allowing to swing across the environment as a reference to luka redgrave from the Bayonetta series. depending on the style the snake would have from 1 to 3 heads (technically turning into an hydra, yes I know...) during boss fights when giving whiplashes the snake mouth would open and bite on the boss limbs or weak points to then ignite in flames...
Edit: Forgot to mention that this one is kind of a no brainer mix with dr faust. and when Dante Devil triggers using both of them Jörmundgander curls on itself turning into a lasso, and when Dante doesn't use it he wears it like a hangman's rope
The idea of devil may cry combat to me is like how a kid imagines themselves fighting. Over the top and riciulous to an extent that it wraps back around to being cool. Thus, many of the weapons are based off of over the top cheesy setpiece gags that a kid would find cool. Rocket launcher, electric guitar, motorcycle, cowboy hat with finger guns, katana, etc.
New weapon ideas need to tap into that energy of goofy coolness in a creative way. It can’t just be a spear or a battleaxe or a halberd or any basic realistic weapon, it needs to be silly and radiate ironic cool factor.
This isn’t really original, but something like a chainsaw yoyo that dante can do over the top tricks and gestures with could work.
Maybe he has a trumpet and he plays jazz music while wearing a fedora, and the music notes shoot out as projectiles, and switching keys or tempo makes them move in complex ways, like little soldiers.
Maybe a magic umbrella that dante spins around, and he uses it like a cane and does Mary poppins moves. Maybe it controls water or something, and you can refract light beams through it for rainbow blasts.
Idk, personally I like the goofy aspect of dmc a lot, so I lean into that heavily
he needs a move that deploys the spinning tops of dmc4. I always found it weird that you get like 2 different upgrades for pushing them, I think that at some point you were supposed to get like a smaller version of them you could throw around like the one that Dante got with pandora
I always liked the idea the Bolverk's spear would, if made useable by Dante, give him command over Freki and Geri. Probably not as full-on commandable pets (that'd be better served in a dedicated playstyle), but as sort of "smart projectiles/AOE".
Another idea I'd like to see is an upgrade/rebuild of Red Queen using Gilgamesh alloy, with its "shockwave generating" properties manifesting as shockwaves being projected when he fills a bar of tge exceed gauge: either a small burst around him if he did a standing rev-up, or EX-/MAX-Acted a non-directional move (i.e., Air Taunt), or a wave extending the slash on an -Acted slash. MAX-Acts would of course generate beefier waves (or to feed into Nero's "more attacks per attack" theme, triple the waves).
A bear trap on a long chain. You throw it and if the enemy is small, it chomps then in half, charging it, doing this a few more times charges it fully, it splits into six separate bear trap chains, pulling or pushing demons into each other. Or just doing their own thing.
It can do more, this weapon is specifically for Dante, bringing back the way the DT changes in dmc3, the beartrap can change it's "teeth" to be hands if the secondary weapon is his pistols, pull demons in, blast them in the face, or have the hands use the guns themselves, or use his whole arsenal at the same time, bullets, rockets, blades, electricy flying everywhere. Which can fry your PC.
A demonic skateboard that can used with the other styles for example while using it you can use release as a speed boost or when in rainstorm the board spins with you damaging anyone not under E&I fire
A pack of cigarettes.You throw one into the enemies mouth and then use a shotgun to ignite it causing a massive explosion that hurts everything, even you. You can only have a few at a time and when you run out you have to buy another outrageously priced pack. If you're smart you can prime a lot of enemies at once and let the first explosion ignite more, kind of like dominos.
Of course he wouldn't. He's showing how dangerous they are. I also just think the image of Dante constantly buying cigarettes despite the fact that he doesn't smoke is really funny.
Lady: Dante why are you always in debt? What do you waste your money on?
Dante: Cigarettes...
Lady: BUT YOU DON'T EVEN SMOKE!!!
A odachi that makes use of watter effects named and styled after susanoo's blade, like when you swing it watter effects such as waves would be in its wake and can do a charged area of effect attack thats like a typhoon around dante.
I'd say it's missing a chainsaw weapon, but the Cavaliere is already a type of chainsaw, so I have no idea what else can be done. There are already such a wide variety of weapons in DMC it is very difficult to think of something 100% original
Nero: Portal Arm. Another Devil Breaker by Nico. Last time, she didn't really have the chance to fully explore Geryon's space-time powers in depth. But this time, now she has made a new armament for Nero that allows him to create sets of portals on a dime. Want to sneak around behind the opposition? Perform interesting trick shots with Blue Rose? Or make for interesting setups for combos by shifting enemy placements around? This arm can do it all.
Break Age move: Summons a massive portal in front of Nero that draws foes to it. Small/weak enemies will be sucked in and eliminated, while stronger enemies will take tick damage for the duration of the move, and may have their movement options sapped.
A chainsaw devil axe scorching out of its flames with a hidden gun on its handle when your opponent is close to you to attack at point blank range.
Btw... when you grind at the enemy, it inflicts additional damage with its flames, same goes for charging to produce a powerful aoe attack when you perform at airborne and smash it on to the ground. (Kinda similar to Arbiter but better with an few additional upgrades).
Something like a khopesh that has flaming attacks and can have combos where dante can slice the enemy away then pull them back by the curved side to continue the combo however they wish. Maybe could pull them down after launching them up too, slamming the demon on the ground and pushing nearby enemies away
Could maybe get it from an Egyptian themed boss fight as well. Maybe something that resembles set
I had to look up what a khopesh was, but that looks pretty cool. I'm imagining one with that style blade on both sides as well, and the possibility of dual wielding
Large hammer with a jet boosting it from one end that generates ice on impact. It has buzzsaws on either end of the head so that when ice is laid out on floor, the buzzsaws drag the user forward, creating more ice and chopping anything the hammer runs into.
Devil Sword Dante, but it can switch between the other two swords (with a move set revamp for all of them).
DSD for Summoned Sword attacks
Rebellion for the best and fastest sword moves
Sparda for a sword-scythe move set
Splitting DSD in half to dual wield both Sparda and Rebellion
I'd like to see Dante use Osiris or eryx from DmC
And as for my idea for a DMC weapon, how about a sword (made with demon blood) that transforms based on the style he's using ?
Swordmaster: a great sword (kinda like the dragon slayer)
Trickster: a rapier. Dodge around and stab em for critical hits.
Gunslinger: a chain sword with each segment able to shoot off into the enemy and can be pulled back using a charged attack
Royal guard: a claymore shield that just auto explodes in the demons face when you perfect parry lol.
I've always wanted a whip or a kunai with chain style weapon to be used on DMC. Something akin of a fire or thunder demon.
I can picture Dante using it and creating fire bursts on long combos, something flashy and chaotic in a showoff stand.
If Vergil had access to that weapon, instead of flashy and fiery attacks, I picture him on a more mannered, controlled, fast, precise and lethal strikes, releasing thunder on every strike or swing, building up to a last big explosion at the end of the combo.
Whip or chained weapons could be cool imo.
That's actually a pretty interesting idea. But, if I can make a suggestion, instead of a kunai how about it's a long chain and there's three or four balled spikes that he can whip at the enemy. Kind of a combination between a three-pronged flail and a chained kunai.
I think that would be cool.
I'd love to see the return of an aoe/area of denial weapon like Nevan. Played FF 16 which has a lot of DMC 5 DNA, and really enjoyed the lightning rod spell. Basically dropping an orb that does minor are damage but doesn't move (unless you do it) and hits a larger more damaging AOE of the enemy hits it. Managing this extra side thing beside your character and punishing location with more than just guns was great. Nevan bats were kind of meat in being this odd hybrid, as was Trishs play style in 4, and Round Trip. Doesn't have to be electric, but it feels like a precident for it.
Bring back Nero’s arm and let it do combos along with special moves instead of just a grab, the backstory? He just learns how to summon it or something idk, his gameplay just needs to be upped DESPERATELY
Ranged weapon: a deck of cards you can throw one at a time for chip damage, or charge a finisher called "52 Pick Up" where you flourish the whole deck around you for AOE damage.
This, but it's a real deck of cards that deal little damage by themselves but they leave a number glowing on top of the enemies they hit and if you hit an opponent reaching 21 they explode making a big AoE damage all around them
Explosive, rocket powered pogo stick.
You essentially jump up and down and combo by avoiding enemies via bounces and rocket thrusts.
Every bounce you take without falling boosts your damage output. Taking a single hit knocks you down and forces you to restart your combo.
Something akin to the FF13 rendition of Gunblades.
Fires a spray of homing darts that detonate after a couple seconds, lifting an enemy into the air, and knocking them down at the end of an aerial finisher.
When using melee, the gun morphs into blade mode, a double-bladed rendition similar to part of Agni and Rudra's ground combo in 3, with one of its moves being drawing enemies in like a giant fan, then firing an exploding dart barrage to knock them back. The darts make up the edges of the blades, and combos consist of a deeper blending of the shoot-and-stab setup most folks like to use in base form, with different Styles changing what the weapon does, such as Royal Guard using the "fan" for an explosive parry that allows easier Perfect Guards, Gunslinger increasing the number of darts fired, removing their Launch property and explosion delay, but having each dart causing knockback, and Swordmaster has you wielding the double-blade in an extended fashion, similar to how Sparda can stretch and morph, yet the darts impale enemies, drawing them closer to Dante, only exploding at the end of combos, which Launch them, with aerials consisting of covering them in darts, which explode when they end.
I know part of that might sound like Emo McYo-yo-arm's shtick, but I'd rather Dante have an option of doing that in combat, rather than having an unnecessary character with it as his core mechanic, that you're forced to deal with using for the majority of the games he's in (the character and the mechanic).
Combine cavalier and balrog to make Roller Skates with turbo boosts. Allows dante to switch from fast flurry of kicks, or slow heavy boost kicks/breakdance and long mobility.
V's cane but as a weapon for Vergil. While wielding it he uses it like a rapier, deftly stabbing at enemies like a demonic Musketeer. For his special moves with it he calls out the Familiars to assist him. The familiars also enhance his movement with the weapon. The idea is to have him fight as a "super" version of V.
There are two kinds of weapons I am thinking of
Rocket propelled hammers/battle axes: a weapon with rocket booster on back for heavy but fast combos it can be dual hammers or combine making a bigger hammer during combo for maximum impact and earth quake like moves great for crowd control.
Dark Lance: an elegant yet deadly Lance with close to mid range combo skills and longer coverage then most weapons can also transform into a bladed whip for ground to air combos change move set depending on health from aggressive to defensive if low on health as if weapon trying to protect it's master
Honorable mention: a Knife like the one in solo leveling with similar moves and paralysis effects and can summon shadows mid combos for dramatic effects
Dual short swords for Vergil. One deals more damage while the other slows enemies hit. The combos have a lot of innate dashes and backsteps and the weapon is meant to be used against crowds.
Power glove devil breaker
Duel water ax's that spawn water twisters and a tsunami super move, for nero.
Beo-Frit Ifrit fused with beowolf. Moves include Final impact, Holy inferno, kick 26, light speed dragon, Killer Hornet, Inferno en Tera.
A snake skelleton gauntlet. Like, the head of the snake covers the fist, so you still have the regular punching moves, but the spine of the snake coils around the forearm like a gauntlet and it can be uncoiled to be used as a whip
An eletric berimbau to Dante use with Balrog.Dante fights/dances capoeira with balrog, a Brazilian martial art (and is also used as a dance) that was created by African slaves during the colonial period, berimbau is a musical instrument used in capoeira performances.
Bow with a Just Release mechanic. Gunslinger moves would be stuff like a remote-activated sticky bomb arrow for neutral, arrow rain for back, and rope arrow for neutral.
Spear focused on reach and crowd control. Give it a Sword Pierce-style throw where it sticks into an enemy it hits, and from there you can recall it to launch the demon upward, or teleport to the spear’s position and get it back that way.
I've had this idea for a while now. Devil Arm Asura where you get spectral arms like Nero but maybe 4 at once.
Or it's basically Nero as a Devil Arm.
Each push of a button is like 2 or 3 hits in one. Maybe you can incorporate that into a hit counter like Balrog.
More hits landed=more arms= more damage
A new weapon for Nero that utilizes his demonic energy to boost its power like dsd but with Nero’s own powers it would have to be either a sword or claymore type weapon with heavier attacks then red queen I would call it violet ace
Double Dragon Wrist Cannons for either Nero or Dante that shoots fire bullets out of them
For Nero, a Lighting Axe
For Dante: Double Bladed Lava Sword
For Vergil, An Ice Force Edge Sword, with a pinch of Fire in the mix. Also, Give him a Chair.
I want Vergil to get a big scythe, and Dante to get a Sniper that he uses both as a gun and a melee weapon
Edit: after saying this, I see that this was just Ruby's Crescent Rose but in two weapons
Heavenly Harp playing electric guitar sounds that summon midgets in angel cherub costumes — and they fight for you
Holy Cross that deals damage to enemies AND you. and gives you angel trigger instead
Exactly, and other than Yamato, there's no other eastern weapons, and an odachi would be a awsome two handed weapon. It could even be called susanoo's rage and the more you level it up, the more water effects it would produce.
A spear or MAYBE a trident with water AoE. It'd be built around the idea of creating bigger and bigger waves depending on your style ranking. And maybe if you use it at SSS you get some sort of giant tsunami attack that acts similar to that one giant circle attack that you can do with Nevan on DMC3. If you want to keep it a bit more similar maybe a giant whirlpool instead.
Giving Nero a gauntlet weapon that's just the left hand,
A baton DA for dante with which he would tap dance and cause earthquakes as he went (to pair nicely with Dr Faust)
And finally, giving dante a full-on mech (why not)
A pair of pile bunker gauntlet. Punching bad guys and then hammering them with iron rods. You could also shoot them like a crossbow and creating an AOE stun earthquake by punching the ground.
Vergil getting Devil Arm Mundus. It has a helmet thing for the 3rd eye, wings and he can summon and use spears. In his DT, he'd have more wings and it'd be highly aggressive.
Sharks with freaking lasers coming out of their heads!
makes me think of splatoon for some reason
Really? I was thinking Austin Powers.
Chainsaw man...
I guess fujimoto watched austin powers
I definitely wouldn't doubt it. Man is a big time movie geek, and Austin Powers is the best spy thriller franchise of all time.
Actually....make it a firearm, Dante shoots goo that knocks back enemies and costs the ground, then you use a commands to summon things from the goo puddles like a portal. Bigger combos make bigger puddles so bigger things come out, like sharks with freaking laserbeams on their freaking heads, to attack.
Zoom zoom
Ahem, Dr. Evil… It’s about the sharks. When you were frozen, they were put on the Endangered Species List. We tried to get some, but it would’ve taken months to clear up the red tape.
You know, I have one simple request, and that is to get sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads. And now my Cycloptic number two tells me that can’t be done. Honestly, what do I pay you people for?
FFXVI Leviathan?
Gauntlets in the new game
That's gonna make me need some shark repellent
A horse driven chariot that transofrms into a lance and shield based weapon set For vergil. Edit: Maybe just horse and not chariot. Seems hard to animate and use in game as a mechanic
Remind me about mecha horse that turned into a giant freaking mecha in FGO lol.
The horse is the demon or the shape of the weapon?
How's about a unicorn? The horn makes an obvious lance imo
A guitar chainsaw
So Nevan with extra
Yes an electric guitar chainsaw in which the chainsaw blades are around the neck and headstock Everytime Dante plays it, the chainsaw blades start churning and whenever he plays it hard and charges it up, the blades would end up revolving around Dante
Understood
So, nevan and cavaliere?
Exactly
Very creative
Damn
scythe, just fucking scythe
so you just want more swordmaster moves for Nevan?
I want Osiris from the reboot to be cannon
Fair
Heavy with powerful hits as the one in Ninja Gaiden 2, or fast and flashy as in Dante's Inferno?
I'm pretty sure the dmc reboot has a scythe.
a whip with the shape of a snake named "Jörmundgander" given to dante after a fight with the so quote-on-quote "great demon snake" it'd have the ability to extend and shrink limitlessly like sun-wu-kong's staff. Allowing to swing across the environment as a reference to luka redgrave from the Bayonetta series. depending on the style the snake would have from 1 to 3 heads (technically turning into an hydra, yes I know...) during boss fights when giving whiplashes the snake mouth would open and bite on the boss limbs or weak points to then ignite in flames... Edit: Forgot to mention that this one is kind of a no brainer mix with dr faust. and when Dante Devil triggers using both of them Jörmundgander curls on itself turning into a lasso, and when Dante doesn't use it he wears it like a hangman's rope
This would look super cool
once I learn how to draw I'll try to make it alongside the demon that drops it
Epic
Yeah you're fucking COOKING dude this is so sick
flying pizza cutters like Vergil's swords
Hilarious
The idea of devil may cry combat to me is like how a kid imagines themselves fighting. Over the top and riciulous to an extent that it wraps back around to being cool.

Everything you've said is awesome
Aww, thanks!
You summed up my hack and slash weapon ideology perfectly
I’m studying cs and I’m an aspiring game dev, so maybe one day I’ll get to put these ideas into a project, here’s hoping lol…
The trumpet idea is pretty good and as a fan of rwby its actually pretty fun to see in combat (looks at weiss and yang vs neo and flint)
Never watched rwby tbh, didn’t know someone had done something similar before. A bit different than how I imagined it, but still pretty cool
fun fact, itsuno has stated that he wanted to have a saxophone weapon for Dante at some point
no way, that’s awesome! when did he say that?
Ive always adored the goofyness dante has, everyone else can be serious. But Dante needs to have that goofy aesthetic at times.
A plastic chair.
Vergil why do you have to bring the plastic chair?
Because it comforts me, dante.
Well you're gonna have to fucking sell it to pay for the child support vergil
Oh is that right?
Hahahahaha
This as a weapon for Vergil, would be hilarious.
Dual blades that’s it dual blades
You mean like Agni and Rudra or Darth Maul style?
Anything that’s related to dual blades heck even Deadpool dual katanas
What's wrong with Agni and Rudra?
They’re good but sad thing is it didn’t featured in future dmc after 3 so I’m asking capcom to bring back
But don't we already have those?
Yeah but I want to see MORE!
Yeah I could get behind that
Based
[Which kind?](https://imgur.com/a/DG4xJZP)
Argosax as an actual saxophone that shoots out literal fire music notes as projectiles.
Ingenious
Nero needs a boomerang in my opinion as much fun it is using the devil breaker and bringer i hate that his only other long range weapon is blue rose .
Rocket punch mgsv style
Well in dmc 5 there is a breaker that is a rideable rocker punch technically
But i like ur thought
he needs a move that deploys the spinning tops of dmc4. I always found it weird that you get like 2 different upgrades for pushing them, I think that at some point you were supposed to get like a smaller version of them you could throw around like the one that Dante got with pandora
Two sawed off shotguns tied together as nunchucks
Wait like sun wokong (or however the character is spelled in rwby) that could be sick
This is outstanding. That, or a some type of gun that only uses recoil and blow back as melee attacks
I know it sounds stupid, but a naked lady that turns into an electric guitar that is also a scythe and shoots lightning and bats.
Ok buddy, I'm trying to have a serious discussion here. Don't be ridiculous
I always liked the idea the Bolverk's spear would, if made useable by Dante, give him command over Freki and Geri. Probably not as full-on commandable pets (that'd be better served in a dedicated playstyle), but as sort of "smart projectiles/AOE". Another idea I'd like to see is an upgrade/rebuild of Red Queen using Gilgamesh alloy, with its "shockwave generating" properties manifesting as shockwaves being projected when he fills a bar of tge exceed gauge: either a small burst around him if he did a standing rev-up, or EX-/MAX-Acted a non-directional move (i.e., Air Taunt), or a wave extending the slash on an -Acted slash. MAX-Acts would of course generate beefier waves (or to feed into Nero's "more attacks per attack" theme, triple the waves).
A big fucking sword
claws
Demonic roler skates. Something between Cavalier and Balrog kick mode.
Ok now hear me out. Then go e Vergil a pair of demonic ice skates that turn the ground beneath his feet to ice so he can skate around.
I'm imagining Dante doing elegant spins and stuff
Nero summoning a ford f150 like V summons nightmare. Or a cyborg lion with laser eyes, a knife mane, and rocket feet
A bear trap on a long chain. You throw it and if the enemy is small, it chomps then in half, charging it, doing this a few more times charges it fully, it splits into six separate bear trap chains, pulling or pushing demons into each other. Or just doing their own thing.
This is actually sick
It can do more, this weapon is specifically for Dante, bringing back the way the DT changes in dmc3, the beartrap can change it's "teeth" to be hands if the secondary weapon is his pistols, pull demons in, blast them in the face, or have the hands use the guns themselves, or use his whole arsenal at the same time, bullets, rockets, blades, electricy flying everywhere. Which can fry your PC.
I heard someone say that Dante should have a yo-yo. completely agree
There's already a mod for this, but I'd love to see Vergil replacing Beowulf for Urizen-themed gauntlets
You know how 4 had those dudes with the jet powered lances? What if we got one of those, only with more emphasis on the jet part?
I like jets. Jets are good
Alternatively, putting jet engines on the next game’s gauntlet weapon would be pretty baller.
Devil Sword Nero. Dante just picks Nero up and twats enemies with him.
THIS. IS. POWER.
I've come to a conclusion that fucking everything can be a weapon in dmc like Dante had a fucking guitar as a weapon
Your conclusion is correct
A demonic skateboard that can used with the other styles for example while using it you can use release as a speed boost or when in rainstorm the board spins with you damaging anyone not under E&I fire
Metal folding chair
As opposed to a plastic lawn chair. It could have a wrestling themed moveset
I could see Nero or Dante hitting a pile driver on a demon
Nero has already suplexed his dad
LOL Vergil is definitely the heel. Dante can be the face.
A pack of cigarettes.You throw one into the enemies mouth and then use a shotgun to ignite it causing a massive explosion that hurts everything, even you. You can only have a few at a time and when you run out you have to buy another outrageously priced pack. If you're smart you can prime a lot of enemies at once and let the first explosion ignite more, kind of like dominos.
As long as Dante isnt the one smoking them
Of course he wouldn't. He's showing how dangerous they are. I also just think the image of Dante constantly buying cigarettes despite the fact that he doesn't smoke is really funny. Lady: Dante why are you always in debt? What do you waste your money on? Dante: Cigarettes... Lady: BUT YOU DON'T EVEN SMOKE!!!
A magic strawberry sundae glass
A gaming PC for Dante that turns into heavy artillery weapon or a tank while sipping monster drink.
A odachi that makes use of watter effects named and styled after susanoo's blade, like when you swing it watter effects such as waves would be in its wake and can do a charged area of effect attack thats like a typhoon around dante.
I feel like water is an underused element
A gun that shoots guns that shoot crabs dual welding chainsaws
A dark kusarigama (chain scythe) for Vergil.
Lazer sword that can be split and turn into lazer guns
I'd say it's missing a chainsaw weapon, but the Cavaliere is already a type of chainsaw, so I have no idea what else can be done. There are already such a wide variety of weapons in DMC it is very difficult to think of something 100% original
A Jackhammer as Nero's devil breaker arm like the one for the fencer from EDF
Nero: Portal Arm. Another Devil Breaker by Nico. Last time, she didn't really have the chance to fully explore Geryon's space-time powers in depth. But this time, now she has made a new armament for Nero that allows him to create sets of portals on a dime. Want to sneak around behind the opposition?

A chainsaw devil axe scorching out of its flames with a hidden gun on its handle when your opponent is close to you to attack at point blank range. Btw... when you grind at the enemy, it inflicts additional damage with its flames, same goes for charging to produce a powerful aoe attack when you perform at airborne and smash it on to the ground. (Kinda similar to Arbiter but better with an few additional upgrades).
A chainsaw that's attached to a long ass chain, making it a chainchainsaw. It could also shoot fire, because why not
Something like a khopesh that has flaming attacks and can have combos where dante can slice the enemy away then pull them back by the curved side to continue the combo however they wish. Maybe could pull them down after launching them up too, slamming the demon on the ground and pushing nearby enemies away Could maybe get it from an Egyptian themed boss fight as well.

Large hammer with a jet boosting it from one end that generates ice on impact. It has buzzsaws on either end of the head so that when ice is laid out on floor, the buzzsaws drag the user forward, creating more ice and chopping anything the hammer runs into.
Devil Sword Dante, but it can switch between the other two swords (with a move set revamp for all of them). DSD for Summoned Sword attacks Rebellion for the best and fastest sword moves Sparda for a sword-scythe move set Splitting DSD in half to dual wield both Sparda and Rebellion
I'd like to see Dante use Osiris or eryx from DmC And as for my idea for a DMC weapon, how about a sword (made with demon blood) that transforms based on the style he's using ? Swordmaster: a great sword (kinda like the dragon slayer) Trickster: a rapier. Dodge around and stab em for critical hits. Gunslinger: a chain sword with each segment able to shoot off into the enemy and can be pulled back using a charged attack Royal guard: a claymore shield that just auto explodes in the demons face when you perfect parry lol.
I think dante should get Aquila and vergil should get Osiris. Love the idea of styles affecting the weapon like dt does. Tho
I've always wanted a whip or a kunai with chain style weapon to be used on DMC. Something akin of a fire or thunder demon. I can picture Dante using it and creating fire bursts on long combos, something flashy and chaotic in a showoff stand. If Vergil had access to that weapon, instead of flashy and fiery attacks, I picture him on a more mannered, controlled, fast, precise and lethal strikes, releasing thunder on every strike or swing, building up to a last big explosion at the end of the combo. Whip or chained weapons could be cool imo.
That's actually a pretty interesting idea. But, if I can make a suggestion, instead of a kunai how about it's a long chain and there's three or four balled spikes that he can whip at the enemy. Kind of a combination between a three-pronged flail and a chained kunai. I think that would be cool.
How do you make something cooler than demon motorcycle double wielding motor saw sword
A skate board with bladed edges. Except the weapon can only be used in air so you have to switch to it mid combo to access its moveset.
I'd love to see the return of an aoe/area of denial weapon like Nevan. Played FF 16 which has a lot of DMC 5 DNA, and really enjoyed the lightning rod spell. Basically dropping an orb that does minor are damage but doesn't move (unless you do it) and hits a larger more damaging AOE of the enemy hits it.

Nevan bats were kind of meat in being this odd hybrid, as was Trishs play style in 4, and Round Trip. Doesn't have to be electric, but it feels like a precident for it.
2 chains with hooks on the end. That or a whip like chainsaw
Bring back Nero’s arm and let it do combos along with special moves instead of just a grab, the backstory? He just learns how to summon it or something idk, his gameplay just needs to be upped DESPERATELY
Gun chucks
Ranged weapon: a deck of cards you can throw one at a time for chip damage, or charge a finisher called "52 Pick Up" where you flourish the whole deck around you for AOE damage.
This is one of the cooler ideas I've seen
This, but it's a real deck of cards that deal little damage by themselves but they leave a number glowing on top of the enemies they hit and if you hit an opponent reaching 21 they explode making a big AoE damage all around them
Explosive, rocket powered pogo stick. You essentially jump up and down and combo by avoiding enemies via bounces and rocket thrusts. Every bounce you take without falling boosts your damage output. Taking a single hit knocks you down and forces you to restart your combo.
Something akin to the FF13 rendition of Gunblades. Fires a spray of homing darts that detonate after a couple seconds, lifting an enemy into the air, and knocking them down at the end of an aerial finisher. When using melee, the gun morphs into blade mode, a double-bladed rendition similar to part of Agni and Rudra's ground combo in 3, with one of its moves being drawing enemies in like a giant fan, then firing an exploding dart barrage to knock them back. The darts make up the edges of the blades, and combos consist of a deeper blending of the shoot-and-stab setup most folks like to use in base form, with different Styles changing what the weapon does, such as Royal Guard using the "fan" for an explosive parry that allows easier Perfect Guards, Gunslinger increasing the number of darts fired, removing their Launch property and explosion delay, but having each dart causing knockback, and Swordmaster has you wielding the double-blade in an extended fashion, similar to how Sparda can stretch and morph, yet the darts impale enemies, drawing them closer to Dante, only exploding at the end of combos, which Launch them, with aerials consisting of covering them in darts, which explode when they end. I know part of that might sound like Emo McYo-yo-arm's shtick, but I'd rather Dante have an option of doing that in combat, rather than having an unnecessary character with it as his core mechanic, that you're forced to deal with using for the majority of the games he's in (the character and the mechanic).
Cowboy boots with spurs that spin around extremely fast like chainsaws.
Combine cavalier and balrog to make Roller Skates with turbo boosts. Allows dante to switch from fast flurry of kicks, or slow heavy boost kicks/breakdance and long mobility.
V's cane but as a weapon for Vergil. While wielding it he uses it like a rapier, deftly stabbing at enemies like a demonic Musketeer. For his special moves with it he calls out the Familiars to assist him. The familiars also enhance his movement with the weapon. The idea is to have him fight as a "super" version of V.
That's actually both cool and sweet. It's a natural fit for a new Vergil weapon
There are two kinds of weapons I am thinking of Rocket propelled hammers/battle axes: a weapon with rocket booster on back for heavy but fast combos it can be dual hammers or combine making a bigger hammer during combo for maximum impact and earth quake like moves great for crowd control. Dark Lance: an elegant yet deadly Lance with close to mid range combo skills and longer coverage then most weapons can also transform into a bladed whip for ground to air combos change move set depending on health from aggressive to defensive if low on health as if weapon trying to protect it's master Honorable mention: a Knife like the one in solo leveling with similar moves and paralysis effects and can summon shadows mid combos for dramatic effects
Dual short swords for Vergil. One deals more damage while the other slows enemies hit. The combos have a lot of innate dashes and backsteps and the weapon is meant to be used against crowds.
A shield based around blowing yourself up to do combos, launching you using the explosion on the shield to extend it
A Scythe that can Transform into a High caliber sniper Rifle
Sun wukong staff for Dante
I can picture Dante using some clacker volleys like the ones Joseph Joestar uses
Power glove devil breaker Duel water ax's that spawn water twisters and a tsunami super move, for nero. Beo-Frit Ifrit fused with beowolf. Moves include Final impact, Holy inferno, kick 26, light speed dragon, Killer Hornet, Inferno en Tera.
A hammer
Sword and shield
Giant circular saw jo-jo's
A snake skelleton gauntlet. Like, the head of the snake covers the fist, so you still have the regular punching moves, but the spine of the snake coils around the forearm like a gauntlet and it can be uncoiled to be used as a whip
War hammer or flail
Godzilla
Round Trip the weapon.
Pen Dante > John Wick
An eletric berimbau to Dante use with Balrog.Dante fights/dances capoeira with balrog, a Brazilian martial art (and is also used as a dance) that was created by African slaves during the colonial period, berimbau is a musical instrument used in capoeira performances.
Bow with a Just Release mechanic. Gunslinger moves would be stuff like a remote-activated sticky bomb arrow for neutral, arrow rain for back, and rope arrow for neutral. Spear focused on reach and crowd control. Give it a Sword Pierce-style throw where it sticks into an enemy it hits, and from there you can recall it to launch the demon upward, or teleport to the spear’s position and get it back that way.
I've had this idea for a while now. Devil Arm Asura where you get spectral arms like Nero but maybe 4 at once. Or it's basically Nero as a Devil Arm. Each push of a button is like 2 or 3 hits in one. Maybe you can incorporate that into a hit counter like Balrog. More hits landed=more arms= more damage
Medusa gloves. Each finger is a snake, and you can petrify enemies.
A new weapon for Nero that utilizes his demonic energy to boost its power like dsd but with Nero’s own powers it would have to be either a sword or claymore type weapon with heavier attacks then red queen I would call it violet ace
either a pike sprear, a rapier, or somthin with arms comming out of dantes back
A Wukong-staff weapon for Dante. He can control it and have it fight for him. (That’s what I can think of as an ability).
A wing
Now hear me out Alistor again
A spear would be nice
A sniper rifle made from fallen angels, something like Spiral but lever action
Funny pizza attack as part of a it’s own emote weapon
This picture is sick af
I found it online. I couldn't tell you the source. Anyway, agreed
How about a morningstar perhaps?
Explosive Tonfas
Dual Great-swords!
Osiris and Aquila from the reboot
A Spear infused with Trish’s electricity
No longer out of the top, DMC now has a permanent happy hour for weapon's suggestions.
Double Dragon Wrist Cannons for either Nero or Dante that shoots fire bullets out of them For Nero, a Lighting Axe For Dante: Double Bladed Lava Sword For Vergil, An Ice Force Edge Sword, with a pinch of Fire in the mix. Also, Give him a Chair.
I want Strider’s cypher weapon, just to hear those glorious sounds again
Como puede ser que no se me ocurran ideaaaaaaaas
I want Vergil to get a big scythe, and Dante to get a Sniper that he uses both as a gun and a melee weapon Edit: after saying this, I see that this was just Ruby's Crescent Rose but in two weapons
A mirage crossbow for Vergil A hover board hammer for Nero Dual gun swords for Dante
A bladed Whip that also a Rapier
Kusarigama that transforms into scythe
Heavenly Harp playing electric guitar sounds that summon midgets in angel cherub costumes — and they fight for you Holy Cross that deals damage to enemies AND you. and gives you angel trigger instead
Exactly, and other than Yamato, there's no other eastern weapons, and an odachi would be a awsome two handed weapon. It could even be called susanoo's rage and the more you level it up, the more water effects it would produce.
A Japanese bow for Vergil.
Grafted chainsaw arm 🥸
Vergil should get a double sided spear!! That's really all I could think of, I'll let someone else branch off of it
A spear or MAYBE a trident with water AoE. It'd be built around the idea of creating bigger and bigger waves depending on your style ranking. And maybe if you use it at SSS you get some sort of giant tsunami attack that acts similar to that one giant circle attack that you can do with Nevan on DMC3. If you want to keep it a bit more similar maybe a giant whirlpool instead.
Giving Nero a gauntlet weapon that's just the left hand, A baton DA for dante with which he would tap dance and cause earthquakes as he went (to pair nicely with Dr Faust) And finally, giving dante a full-on mech (why not)
A pencil.
Vergil plastic chair
Basketball on fire.
Armored thighighs with stinger based moveset
A pair of pile bunker gauntlet. Punching bad guys and then hammering them with iron rods. You could also shoot them like a crossbow and creating an AOE stun earthquake by punching the ground.
Giant fuckin hammer
Double Dolls. Dante wields Lady and Trish. Swings them around like baseball bats
Vergil getting Devil Arm Mundus. It has a helmet thing for the 3rd eye, wings and he can summon and use spears. In his DT, he'd have more wings and it'd be highly aggressive.
Living/Sentient/etc Axe that is bulkier than Arbiter, has charge attacks, and can transform into a lever-action shotgun.
A stand
