10 Most Underrated Weapons In Gaming

8. Flash Grenade: Resident Evil 4

In Resident Evil 4, Leon S. Kennedy wielded the widest selection of weaponry the series had yet seen. The standard pistol, shotgun, magnum and rocket launcher made appearances, but the arsenal was much expanded and could be upgraded and improved by spending pesetas with the in-game merchant.

Three different types of grenade are available in the game: the standard grenade is a very useful little explosive for clearing out groups of foes, the incendiary grenade engulfs a small area in flame, and the flash grenade momentarily stuns opponents.

The latter may seem very weak, dealing no damage and only setting up melee attack opportunities, but experienced players will understand their true utility. Flash grenades are instantly lethal to foes with exposed Las Plagas parasites (bosses aside), such as those deadly Armaduras knights. They have other niche uses (crows will also be killed immediately by them), but for this reason alone, it’s always worth keeping some in your inventory.
