10 Video Game Rewards Not Worth Unlocking

10. Barrage Piercing - Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite packs so much content into an accessible handheld package, with hundreds of quests to complete and dozens of beasties to carve into chunks. To increase your power and make this slaying easier, you can tweak your character's build to focus on increased attack power, increased defence, faster healing, easier tracking, better elemental resistance, and so much more.

You can equip these skills by crafting new gear, buying it outright, or earning it by completing certain parts of the game. For example, if you finish all of the solo Battle Training quests, you'll be awarded with the Barrage Piercing, an armour piece that will grant your character the Capacity Up skill.

Now, completing every single Battle Training mission is no easy feat. This will require you to defeat high-level monsters like the Kirin and the Tigrex in a limited amount of time, and just to stack the odds against you even further, you can't even choose what weapon you take into the arena, meaning that you'll eventually have to use something you aren't good with, or simply don't like. Hunting Horns... they suck.

Even worse, the reward you get for putting in all this time and effort is decidedly underwhelming. The Capacity Up skill is only usable with ranged weapons, and out of all available ranged skills, it's easily near the bottom. Plus, it's only really worthwhile with an extremely limited selection of weapons. As a result, the Barrage Piercing really isn't worth going for, a reward that in no way matches the difficulty required to get it.
