10 Insane Weapons Hidden In Open World Games

1. Experimental MIRV - Fallout 3

Fallout's post-apocalyptic world is the result of nuclear destruction so you'd think keeping people's hands off of nukes would be a generally accepted way to move forward.

Finding the Experimental MIRV takes some time as first you’ll need to locate the five Keller Family transcripts that are spread across the wasteland. Each one contains a number that when strung together becomes a passcode to a room in the basement of the National Guard Depot. Good luck getting there in one piece though. The Depot is a maze, filled with hostile robots and gun turrets that make getting to the armoury no easy feat.

Once you do make your way inside, you’ll find the Experimental MIRV. As a unique variant of the Fat Man, it fires the same mini-nuke ammunition and therefore does the same amount of damage per nuke. The major difference is that the MIRV loads eight nukes at a time.

Of course, dropping a nuke on any enemy in the game is overkill but when overkill isn’t enough then drop eight nukes.

Considering that there’s only 70 mini-nukes that can be found in the open world of Fallout 3 and you need eight at a time to load this weapon, the fun you can have with it is limited. It’s also limited because you’re pretty likely to blow yourself up with it. Turns out that nuclear weapons are not a toy. Who knew?
