8 One Shot Kill Weapons That Fail At Their Job

8. Rocket Launcher - Resident Evil REmake

Anyone who knows anything about the Resident Evil franchise will be aware that, when all else fails, the trusty Rocket Launcher can be relied upon to take down the final boss. That's just how it's been ever since the first game, when players blew the Tyrant to holy Hell at the end.

But for the 2002 REmake, Capcom pulled a cheeky fast one on players, as if they fired the Rocket Launcher at the Tyrant while it was stood still, the monster would just straight-up no-sell it.

That's right - the Tyrant would just swat the rocket away like it was a most minor inconvenience, and only a second well-placed rocket would actually take it down for the count.

Considering the Rocket Launcher's vaunted status as a guaranteed one-hit kill weapon in the Resident Evil franchise, it's both hilarious and a teensy bit cruel that Capcom decided to buck the trend to give us one extra final scare.
