A type of [[Improvised Weapon]].
Crowbars tend to be pretty popular - they are heavy enough to be used as [[Carry a Big Stick|clubs]] and have two bladed points that can do some nasty damage either by swinging or thrusting. Plus, they can be used as [[Shoot Out the Lock|lock bypassers]].
Line 43:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Probably [[Trope Codifier|the most famous example]] is in ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half-Life]]'': [[Player Character|Gordon Freeman]]'s [[Weapon of Choice|signature weapon]] is a crowbar. This is [[Lampshade Hanging|commented on]] by the G-Man in Episode 2.
** ''[[Bioshock]]'' is a [[Wrench Whack]] game, but with a [[Shout-Out]] to ''Half-Life'':
{{quote|"Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?"}}
* ''[[The Punisher (2005 video game)|The Punisher]]''
Line 54:
* ''[[Jagged Alliance]] 2'', it is available since the first game, but back then it cannot be used as a weapon. This is just a bonus since its main use is to pry open locked doors and containers.
* The Blue Sun mod for ''7.62mm High Caliber'' adds a crowbar as a melee weapon.
* ''[[Odium]]''. About as much power as a [[Batter Up]], and weaker than an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]].
* Present in both ''[[Saints Row]]'' games. The best melee weapon in the original, but overshadowed by [[Magical Defibrillator|better]] [[Drop the Hammer|weapons]] [[Katanas Are Just Better|in the]] [[Chainsaw Good|sequel]].
* Subverted in ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]'': as a [[Shout-Out]], you can find one in Area 69, on a desk. You can't pick it up, though, but some mods replace the dildo with it.
* In ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'', one would probably expect the recurring ultimate [[Bonus Boss]], Tyrant Overlord Baal, to [[Equippable Ally|magichange into a sword]], considering how almost all of his attacks involve summoning [[BFS|really huge ones]] to impale his foes. Instead, he magichanges into an ordinary-looking crowbar. A crowbar so powerful, that it can potentially max out the wielder's stats.
** This might be a [[Shout-Out]]
* The original melee weapon for most of the classes in ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]'' was a crowbar.
