10 Awesome Weapons That Actually Made Video Games Worse

The wrench is BioShock's sole melee weapon, which the player picks up in the opening moments of the game.

And while most starter weapons tend to be relatively weak until the player picks up something better, in this case it actually has the potential to be the strongest damn weapon in the entire game.

By using the right combination of tonics, the wrench can deliver the most damage-per-second of any weapon in BioShock and kill every single enemy with a single hit - bar the Big Daddies, of course.

This peculiar lack of balance has led to some players completing wrench-only runs of the game, underlining just how hilariously overpowered the starting weapon truly is.

Its immense potential power is pitted against the fact that, ultimately, playing wrench-only is really quite boring.

By using it exclusively you're simply denying yourself the absurd number of more entertaining combat options available during the game, yet for some the "lazy option" will still be their preferred route.
