10 Starting Weapons In Games That Are Secretly Overpowered

10. Pistol - Deus Ex

The staples of the futuristic dystopia of Deus Ex are the cybernetic augments that enhance the capabilities of their users.

The mods are mostly associated with improving the body of your character, JC Denton, but they can also be used on his weapons, and this is how you can turn the basic pistol into the most powerful gun in the game.

Out of all the weapons in the game, the pistol comes with the largest amount of mod slots that you can fill up with all of the best upgrades that give it a significant edge over other weapons in the game. If done correctly, your pistol should turn into a mini-sniper rifle, capable of taking out enemies at any range with insta-kill bullets that pierce through their bodies as if they were made out of paper.

It's a lot of fun and quite cost-efficient early in the game, given how much ammo for your small lead dispenser you can find.

Not that you'd care much for frugality in the corporate nightmare of Deus Ex's world.
