10 Overpowered Video Game Weapons You Can Only Use ONCE

10. Orbital Strike - Mass Effect 3

The science-fiction world of Mass Effect is filled with terrifying weapons of mass destruction, but unfortunately, whenever Commander Shepard goes on yet another suicide mission, they only get to bring regular guns and a little bit of psychic power with them.

That is, with the only exception being the special mission on Rannoch.

The above operation is the only time when Shepard gets to play with the big guns of their universe. More specifically, they get to activate an experimental orbital beam mounted on Normandy.

The laser is powerful enough to take down a Reaper, and that is exactly what you’ll find yourself doing on Rannoch, ordering strikes after strikes to destroy one of the galaxy’s greatest threats in style.

The sequence is done really well, as it maintains a sense of urgency and danger while simultaneously letting you have fun with your new deadly toy. The Reaper never feels weak, but dropping a huge laser beam onto it still feels satisfying.

There’s just something about being able to rain death from above with just one click of a button.
