10 Joke Video Game Weapons (That Are Secretly INCREDIBLY Powerful)
6. Thirst Zapper - Fallout 4
Found within the sixth and final DLC for 2015’s Fallout 4 (Nuka-World), the Thirst Zapper appears to be a joyfully retro but majorly futile water gun whose main purpose is to help with three Nuka-Cade games (Nuka-Zapper, Bandit Roundup, and Whac-a-Commie).
However, once the Project Cobalt schematics (as well as the Gun Nut and Science! perks) are employed alongside the V.A.T.S. targeting system, it’s possible to transform the Thirst Zapper into a truly formidable firearm.
Specifically, it can become the Nuka-Cola Gun (which dishes out radiated Nuka-Cola), the Cherry Gun (which sparks small explosions), or the Quantum Gun (which causes consistently fatal nuclear blasts). Clearly, it’s quite a devastating sidearm when fully modified.
Even in its purest form, the Thirst Zapper is able to turn the tables on raider leader Overboss Colter (during the Taken for a Ride quest) since, you know, his power armor is electrified (and therefore highly susceptible to water).
It's possible to kick his butt without using the Thirst Zapper, but why wouldn’t you when it’s so damn fun and easy this way?
