A favored weapon of sailors and pirates, the anchor ranks high on the list of badass improbable weapons. Anchor weapons come in two flavors: either strapped to a chain and swung as an Epic Flail variation on Hooks and Crooks, or as a large heavy melee weapon with a cool shape. And don't forget the sharp points at the ends; the hapless victim who gets impaled won't. As their intended purpose is to hold down a ship, anchors are supposed to be exceptionally heavy. You'd expect any anchor wielder to be a huge, burly man or big guy. This just makes little girls swinging anchors all the more amusing. Especially if she's the one to quote it as her Pre Ass Kicking One Liner. Compare Powerful Pick. |

In the gamebook Bloodbones, one of the enemies you can encounter is a pirate brute who tries to rough you up on the deck of a ship using an anchor as a weapon. You can defeat him by making him trip on the anchor's chains, and then knocking said anchor into the water, where he gets dragged overboard to his death by his own weapon. | |

Captain Flynt from Borderlands 2 uses a huge anchor that looks and acts somewhat like a Powerful Pick, pounding it against the ground to create shockwaves. Its first DLC adds Anchormen, who dual wield anchors with short handles and long chains — they can batter you at range or pull you up close and whale on you. Of some note is the fact that both Captain Flynt and all Anchormen are pirates. | |

Elden Ring has the Rusted Anchor, which is classified as a Greataxe. It is notably one of the very few big weapons that does Pierce damage (a damage type usually reserved for small thrusting swords and spears), making it a very good choice of weapon for a Mighty Glacier who plans on "trading" with the enemy, as the game has a "counter" system where all characters take substantially more Pierce damage if they get hit while attacking. There is also a talisman you can equip to specifically boost this counter damage. | |

One of the mercenary factions in Warmachine is a group of pirates. Their warjacks (giant robots about 12+ feet tall) tend to wield anchors as weapons (or carry ship cannons as ranged weapons). Justified in that their warjacks tend to be built out of parts salvaged from wrecked ships, either their own or their unfortunate opponents, whichever is available. | |

Roadhog from Overwatch normally throws a large hook on a chain at targets to pull them in close for easy blasting with his extremely Short-Range Shotgun. Some of his alternate skins change his Animal Motif from pig to shark, replace the hook with an anchor, and the usual voice line instead quotes this trope by name. | |

In RuneScape, the player can use the Barrelchest anchor as a weapon. It's one of the few weapons specifically scavenged from the corpse of its previous wielder: the gigantic pirate zombie robot, Barrelchest, who's larger than some rooms of your house, where it's fought. And true to the fact that it's the second-heaviest equipment in the game, wielding the Barrelchest Anchor gives you a massive strength bonus, though its attack speed is the slowest possible. Uniquely, the barrel modifies the player's running animation, in which they haul it close to their chest and hustle with an awkward jog. |

Darkest Dungeon: The Drowned Crew were done in by a cursed anchor that tied them up in its chain and pulled them into the depths, and they will use it against you in a similar manner by tossing it at one of your heroes and tying them up in the chain. this not only causes the Crew's health to regenerate, but does massive Stress damage to the hero as they experience the Crew's drowning demise. | |

There's also one (and only one) Pirate who uses "a martial arts weapon that looks like an anchor" in Suikoden Tierkreis. The weapon in question is clearly a lot smaller than a standard anchor, though, incidentally allowing him to wield two of them. | |

Gokai Silver in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger wields the Gokai Spear, a Shapeshifter Weapon that switches between trident, laser rifle, and (when he uses his Super Mode) anchor modes. This meshes with the fact that the Gokaigers are Space Pirates. | |

Onimusha Souls also features Chosokabe Motochika wielding a chained anchor slightly bigger than he is as his weapon of choice. Given that it's Capcom, the same who did Sengoku Basara, it's likely a nod. | |

The swung-on-a-chain version comes in to play at the end of an ESWAT level. You had to guess which height it would be swung at, and for some reason it was swung just right so the enemy could deflect your bullets. | |

Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object brings us Captain Minamitsu Murasa, who flings around giant anchor bullets. In a variation, the anchor bullets are generated from spiritual power as part of her danmaku. Her actual weapon is the bottomless scoop she carries (which she does use to attack), which fits with her drowned ghost inspiration. |

In one of the Dragonlance books, the heroes and the mercenary ship they're traveling on is attacked by an enormous, flesh-eating Sea Slug. Since it proves nigh invulnerable to conventional weapons, they get rid of it by tricking the monster into swallowing the ship's anchor, and then suddenly steer the ship, so that the slug loses its grip and is dragged to the sea bed by the weight of the anchor. | |
