10 Cruel Tricks Video Games Played On FPS Players

10. The Sniper Rifle That Mocks You - Borderlands 2

There's nothing that Borderlands players love more than that sweet, sweet loot - the shiny new thing is always better than the shiny last thing, especially where weapons are concerned.

And by completing Borderlands 2's side mission "Hyperion Contract #873," where you're tasked with exterminating 100 bandits, you'll receive a new weapon by the name of the Morningstar.

The Morningstar is said to be an experimental weapon "custom designed for a murderer like yourself," and as awesome as that sounds, it becomes a lot less neat once you actually start using it.

Y'see, the Morningstar is a talking gun which will wax sarcastic to the user whenever they fire, reload, kill an enemy, swap weapons, or land a critical hit.

The gun's quips range from insulting your poor marksmanship ("if you were a better shot, you wouldn't need to reload") to guilting your murderous ways ("they had a family") and even getting weirdly personal ("you don't talk to your parents as often as you should").

It's a nagging price to pay for a sniper rifle that, infuriatingly, metes out a pretty beefy amount of damage.
