Top 5 Most Overpowered Weapons in Video Games

September 12, 2015 by Dennis Patrick

These five weapons are among the most overpowered pieces of equipment in video games.

When a video game is released, it could usually do with some tweaking before it's fully ready for the public. As strange as that sounds, developers at times may have to go back and balance certain characters and weapons to make gameplay a bit fair for players. 

However, there are some weapons or characters that were designed to be overpowered and completely badass. Take for example Oddjob from the Nintendo 64 video game release 007 GoldenEye. Oddjob had a fairly unique ability that others didn’t possess and that’s an extra bonus weapon, his hat. Within the James Bond movies, Oddjob had a distinctive hat that had a sharpened blade. When tossed, that hat could chew through flesh and bone which made the in-game hat a one-hit kill weapon. Because of that weapon, players who choose the character had an advantage right at the start of a multiplayer match. 

Check out these five other overpowered weapons within video games and let us know you favorite overpowered weapon down in the comment section below.
