10 Most Devastating Doomsday Weapons In Video Game History

7. Weaponised Wasps - Dead Rising

When you cast your eyes over Capcom;s brilliantly over-the-top zombie murder simulator Dead Rising, you might pass it off as "just another game about zombies... with the ability to wear a Blanka mask that electrocutes them into tiny pieces".

However, there's much more going on with the undead horde beneath their rotten surfaces.

For you see, these aren't your regular reanimated corpses, as these are actually the result of something even more terrifying. Here the real culprit behind all the brain-munching is the purveyor of picnic panic, WASPS.

Technically these wasps have been bioengineered to carry a virus that makes whatever it stings incessantly hungry, so the real evil are the scientists behind it, but on a base level? WINGED DEMON OF DEATH WITH A STINGER OF DOOM.

Just think about it: Weaponized wasps that can turn everything they stings into a harbinger of hungry destruction. It's definitely not the most elegant Doomsday weapon, but it's sure as hell is effective, as the Dead Rising games prove over and over again. Hell, you could even look at the Zombrex cure as the end goal, keeping the populace enslaved to purchasing your anti-zombie treatment and holding it over them as a powerful reminder of what could happen if they miss a payment.

Somehow that's even more grim.
