10 "Joke" Video Game Weapons That Are Hilariously Overpowered

10. Hand Canon - Dead Space 2

Dead Space as a franchise is utterly brutal. From it's grotesque enemy designs, to horrible death animations, every aspect of the game makes it clear that this is not going to be a fun time for Isaac Clarke... well that is unless you've equipped him with the Hand Cannon.

This foam fingered firearm can be unlocked after completing Dead Space 2 on Hard Core mode, a feat which might literally drive you mad for how difficult it is, in fact you might even look at the unlocked weapon and laugh maniacally as your reality blurs believing it not to be real.

Yet when it comes to using the Hand Cannon, it's no joke. This literal finger gun will shred through Necromorphs like butter making the entire game a breeze, plus there's no greater tension breaker than having Isaac yelling out "bang bang" or "pew pew" as he decapitates his foes.

Honestly using this feels like a fever dream, for not only have you gone through the all time hardest difficulty in the game, but now you're completely upending the tone of the remaining gameplay. A literal side splitter if ever there was one.
