10 Infuriatingly Overpowered Video Game Enemies

4. Virals - Dying Light

After multiple entries of enemies that were overpowered for being incredibly powerful, here's one that's OP for different reasons.

Truthfully, virals probably have the smallest health pool out of anything encountered in the game, even more so than the regular zombie. Although, trying to take down even a single biter at the beginning of the game is difficult due to the crappy weapons you start with, but a couple hours in, you straight up become a decapitation machine.

So yes, virals do fall fairly quickly. When you actually manage to hit them.

Virals are lightning fast, able to climb virtually any surface in the game that you can. They can also dodge any melee attacks, and even move like a boxer during rare stationary moments in case you wanted to attempt a long range assault. Unlike you, virals don't possess any limits on stamina either, so they can climb, evade, and attack at their own leisure.

Yes, that's right, it's a zombie that knows how to dodge. Weren't these things supposed to be brainless?

But the absolute worst thing about them is their hearing. Virals are an interesting way to discourage players from using guns in the open world, because firing off even a single shot can bring an entire pack of them from across the entire map.

Best to stick to your nearly broken machete, then.
