The Outer Worlds 2's weirdest weapon is a flashing rainbow sword that turns combat into a rhythm game I'm terrible at

Outer Worlds 2 Spectrum Beam Saber - Order soldier raising tankard.

It's fair to say that The Outer Worlds 2 loves its weird weapons. From the first moment you step foot on Paradise Island, you'll start discovering all sorts of strange murder contraptions, from a sniper rifle that fires sneaky explosive bolts you detonate when you reload, to a pistol that infects enemies with a contagious disease they can spread.

The strangest weapon by far that I've discovered in my travels through Arcadia, though, is a sword that turns combat into a rhythm game. Yes, you read that correctly—if you don't slash and slice to the old timey beat, you won't gain its bonus. This sword might seem like a bit of a meme at first, but when fully powered up, I'm convinced it might be the best melee weapon in the game.
