10 Best Original Weapons In Video Game History

4. Fat Man - Fallout

Fallout Fat Man
Bethesda

The Wasteland setting of the Fallout series is a pretty desperate place, but it is home to some exciting treasures for any survivors brave enough to venture out. This includes many weapon types, and few are as memorable as the most devastating long range weapon in the game.

The wonderfully named 'Fat Man' is a modified launcher that fires miniature nuclear bombs at your enemies. Sure, that sounds pretty useful doesn't it? But think for a few moments about just what the thing really does. Nuclear bombs hit with megaton impact, meaning that even these mini versions can dish out sheer devastation when fired.

The Fat Man is a pretty heft thing so lugging one around is a bit of a chore for your character's inventory. However, thanks to its undeniable ability to improve your fortunes against virtually any enemy the Wasteland has to offer, it's managed to make itself an essential tool for the Survivor over the years of the series.
