The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!

I was just about to answer OP with "any ut99 weapon". Even the backup melee one was great in the right situation.

Though my favourite of them is probably the rocket launcher, but only by a thin margin. Mostly because my favourite map was always the small dojo one (morbias][), and that only has rockets and the occasional redeemer. Just pure death match all the time..

Ye. Ut99 weapons were pretty much all great. Personally I didn't really like the goo gun, but others made it an absolute beast. The sniper rifle ended up being hilariously good at range and stupidly deadly at close range as headshots seemed to trigger on any hit above belly. The buzzaw throwing thing was nifty for the bouncing shots, but iir the headshots with that required hits to the forehead... Which still cut the heads off from the neck. Felt weird that

I guess the default pistol was a bit weak, but dual pistols was decent upgrade to it.
