multi-player can be great fun just not
with these weapons in play welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
overpowered multiplayer weapons in video
games for this list we’re scanning the
world of multiplayer focused video games
in search of those guns blades explosive
and assorted weaponry that are extremely
powerful especially for the players
given situation or circumstance these
aren’t necessarily bad weapons just
somewhat excessive when used number 10
the hammer Super Smash Brothers series
hammer time this is not from the
original Super Smash Brothers on the n64
onward the hammer pickup has been the
age of those fast enough to grab it and
a detriment to everyone else the player
character enters a repetitious state of
hammering for 7.5 seconds with anyone
hit by the hammer suffering severe
damage a hammer blow means an almost
instant knockout for damaged players so
keep your distance if you can
number nine Thunderbolts Mario Kart
series
since the early days of Mario’s karting
adventures this item has cursed players
received only by racers in or near last
place in a given race the Thunderbolt is
effectively an ace-in-the-hole shrinking
down every racer on the track except the
one who used it of course
thus last place players are given a
chance to catch up while everyone else
is rendered both slower and more
vulnerable to spinning out when struck
those frustrated by their friends using
the Thunderbolt against them can rest
assure that they only picked it up
because they were losing number eight
proximity mines goldeneye double O 7 one
of the three mine types available in
Goldeneye the proximity mine is
certainly an interesting addition these
explosive can be thrown and put to use
as a hands-off surprise attack which can
be devastating to unwitting players
don’t worry I place proximity mines all
over this place excellent do you
remember where now multiplayer matches
featuring proximity mines as the sole
weapons are not uncommon with
instantaneous deaths abounding and fear
of being caught off guard very prevalent
it’s such a fun idea and such a chaotic
and overpowered result Oh proximity
mines
number seven the cerebral bore – rock –
seeds of evil nothing like an
unavoidable weapon to make things
interesting right well that’s what
players were given with the cerebral
bore a firearm of unknown origin with a
lock on feature if it successfully locks
onto an enemy it’s fired projectile
latches on to the enemy’s head and
begins drilling in in a gruesome fashion
with regards to multiplayer this weapon
makes quick work of one’s foes and can
be difficult to avoid once it’s obtained
a lock at least it’s slow to use giving
you some time to get out of the way
number six the concrete donkey worm
series fear the donkey before it brings
devastation wherever it bounces since
the final expansion to the original
worms game worms the director’s cut
players have had the dubious honour of
utilizing the concrete donkey weapon
exactly as it sounds this sturdy statue
like item is dropped from the sky and
then smashes through the landscape until
it hits the water should any teams of
worms be caught underneath they’re
likely to suffer hundreds of points of
damage or suffer a watery fate it’s
definitely a spectacle that’s for sure
what was say number five splat rollers
splatoon
even Nintendo’s Inc theme to take on
third-person shooters isn’t immune to a
little imbalance for example there
exists the splat roller by all accounts
a standard roller weapon with which
players can coat maps with ink however
it’s more than impressive ability to
spread ink faster than any other weapon
gives it something of an unfair
advantage additionally it comes with the
ability to spray ink at opponents in
close range with a wide spread which can
be particularly annoying when players
use squid mode to sneak up on their
enemies number 4 knife Call of Duty
series lightning strike awaiting
coordinates first introduced as the
player’s primary melee weapon in 2007 s
call of duty 4 modern warfare the knife
has become something of a legend though
not always for great reasons
whether in the online suite or in
campaign mode players using the knife
can very easily obtain instant kill
after instant kill UAV on standby on top
of that perks that add extra speed and
knife range make this simple weapon into
an absolute terror no matter how big
your gun is anyone who sprayed their
weapon into an enemy’s belly only to
have them lunge forward and insta kill
you with a knife knows the frustration
this contentious mechanic is known for
UAV awaiting orders
number 3 AWP Counter Strike series known
by a few names Arctic warfare police
magnum sniper rifle or just awp for
short this gun is virtually guaranteed
to leave death in its wake though it is
arguably a balanced and integral part of
the counter-strike experience anyone
who’s been on the receiving end of this
one hit kill machine has wished it
wasn’t especially if the user was
switched glitching one shot from the OP
is basically a guaranteed insta kill
providing they’re hit anywhere but the
legs known to players for it’s
terrifying and distinctive report the OP
puts the boom back in boom headshot
number two the pistol halo combat
Evolved
though many have fallen to the sheer
power of the energy sword this
particular firearm stands out a fair bit
more as one of the first weapons
available for use in halo combat Evolved
the pistol known in full as the m60
personal defense weapon system packs
quite a punch
in fact the guns long-range scope shear
force when fired and semi-automatic
nature make for some imbalance
multiplayer battles developer Bungie has
said that there was a lot of back and
forth about the pistols intended power
before combat Evolved was released with
a last-minute Co change granting the gun
its infamous strength before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one Farsight XR 20 perfect dark
well at least the names appropriate
rares turn of the millennia first-person
shooter Perfect Dark known in large part
for its elaborate and high-quality
multiplayer suite has quite the lineup
of weapons one weapon of note is the
Farsight XR 20 a shoulder-mounted rail
gun which can see through walls with
x-ray vision and can also shoot through
any object resulting in instant kills
combined with it’s absurd secondary mode
that seeks out targets anywhere on the
map and the Farsight is the very
definition of unfair do you agree with
our list no one else will what
multiplayer weapons do you feel are
overpowered for more balanced top 10s
