10 Skill Upgrades That BROKE Video Games

10. Boom, Headshot! - The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds features a number of exploitable and overpowered mechanics, however, the chain effects that can come off a precise headshot is undoubtedly the most destructive and useful in the game.

This perk is best reserved for players whose build revolves around taking cover and taking headshot potshots against Marauders attacking them. The perk causes enemies' heads to explode if they die from a headshot, with the added bonus of causing 25% worth of headshot damage to nearby opponents.

This can have some seriously destructive effects if there are enough enemies around as well, potentially causing a decent chain reaction if the damage done by one exploding head is enough to tip nearby enemies past the lethal range, and so on.

The effect feels unintentionally powerful with certain builds and playstyles, with entire levels of enemies being wiped out by players without posting nearly the kind of threat the developers were hoping for.

On top of the huge game-changing impact the perk can have for players, it is also available for companions, duplicating this overpowered AOE effect to even higher levels of destruction.
