[[File:Genocide Gun 2017|thumb|right|335 px|Usage of the Genocide Gun in ''EDF 2017''.]]
The Genocide Gun is the ultimate weapon in ''[[Global Defence Force]]'' and ''[[Earth Defense Force 2017|2017]]'' but is also by far the most difficult weapon to unlock. It has a 70 or 75m blast range and does 1,000,000 damage. It is unlocked by beating all levels on Inferno difficulty. The [[Pesticide weapons]] in ''[[Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon]]'' are most likely an homage to this gun. While this gun is extremely efficient at eliminating the aliens, it will take out the EDF soldiers just as fast. This is why it is of the utmost importance to use this weapon with great care and to make sure that one is always outside of the blast radius before firing. Also, it doesn't inflict any damage to certain enemies like [[Carriers|UFOs]], [[Vallak Dino Mech|Dino-mechs]] or the [[Mothership]].

The Genocide Gun counts as a rocket launcher. The versions in ''Portable'' and ''Invaders from Planet Space'' are exactly the same, with ''IfPS'' not allowing the weapon to be used in multiplayer.

The Genocide Gun counts as a rocket launcher. The version in this game features a 6x scope as the alternate fire, and deals 0 damage to enemies on Inferno difficulty. The only difference in ''2017 Portable'' is that as with ''IfPS,'' the Genocide Gun cannot be used in multiplayer.

A handheld Genocide Gun like the one in earlier games was apparently tested during development, but caused too many framerate problems and was dropped. Hacking the game using a modded console has shown that the Ranger Genocide Gun and the Wing Diver equivalent, Armageddon Cluster, are still in the game files in an unfinished state (with their weapon level set at 100), while the code contains references to a Fencer Genocide weapon but no actual weapon data.

+
The ''EDF 2025'' Genocide Gun has a completed model, but shows an icon of an AF100 rifle. A video of the Genocide Gun being used in ''EDF 2025'' can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGnvobY0jJo here].

the EDF weapon appears to be a portable version developed from salvaged alien technology.

In ''

assembly takes the form of a series of prongs
on
the underside of
the Mothership
surrounded
by
a
large
rotating
ring:
the
prongs
create
a
series
of
energy balls which drift slowly
to

cause
massive
explosions.

structure
also
has
an
associate attack, generating a circle of energy

In
''2017,
2025''
and ''4.1'' the Genocide Gun is a giant assembly that extends from the Mothership's underside port and unfolds, glowing as it prepares to fire; when it fires it shoots out a 180-degree arc of beams each of which causes an overlapping 10,000 damage explosion, usually dealing 20,000 damage to anything caught in the attack.
