Devil May Cry 5 will give players a cowboy hat as weapon

All games have some sort of traditions embedded into them and players are usually well aware of what they definitely can expect in next part of the series. Devil May Cry 5 has a tradition like that too, as the action adventure third person shooter offers players a selection of stylish advanced state-of-the-art weapons that let you demolish packs of monsters from the underworld. During New York Comic-Con, Capcom demonstrated a completely new weapon for Dante – Faust Hat. 

Faust Hat looks like a fancy cowboy hat, with eyes. When you equip the weird weapon, your character also gets a scarf similar to the one Faust from Devil May Cry 4 was wearing. This scarf is made of red orbs that also determine its length (the more orbs, the longer your scarf is). 

Capcom claim that Faust Hat was created to show the high risk/high reward dynamic. Turns out this headwear lets you shoot red orbs from your hands. You can also throw the hat right at your enemy, if you’re lucky enough to kill him, you get a lot more red orbs. How neat is that? However, remember that throwing your hat at the enemy also grants him this hat as well. If he counterattacks you, you might lose more red orbs. Just something to take into account, ok? 

In addition to that, Capcom showcased new Cerber weapon that can transform into icy nunchucks, fiery Bō staff or sansetsukon covered with lightning.
