10 Most Devastating Doomsday Weapons In Video Game History

10. Archimedes II - Fallout: New Vegas

So I think it's safe to say that Archimedes, the Greek scholar of mathematics, physics, engineering, and astronomy (leave some for the rest of us mate) was a bit of a clever sort. In fact, his list of accomplishments are widely touted as being the backbone for many advancements in maths and science which is mighty impressive indeed.

Almost as impressive as his literal real-life heat ray.

That's right, the fella actually made a device that focused and bounced light through mirrors and lenses in such a manner that turned it into a heat ray, which he reportedly used on enemy ships.

This is something the makers of Fallout: New Vegas took and ran with when they created the Archemedis II - a doomsday weapon that uses solar power to charge a satellite to the point that it fires down a pillar of pure energy onto those below.

And of course, you can get your hands on this monster to deep fry anyone who dares question your new role as "GOD OF THE SUN". Seriously, this weapon is so utterly potent with raw energy that I'm getting sunburn just writing about it.
