10 Overpowered Video Game Weapons That Gave Players Nightmares

The Golden Gun has become synonymous with the concept of the ultimate weapon. You only get a single bullet, but it only takes one from this shiny hand cannon to kill a player.

Your health bar means nothing as the Golden Gun allowed a player to run around a map and completely obliterate any other character who was foolish enough to get in their way. It's only show of mercy is that it must reload after every shot, but in the right hands, this can be a trivial downside.

Although it has returned in other Bond games, it never felt more devastating that in Goldeneye due to how special it felt, and the rarity of finding it.

One hit kills and with the mechanics of the game allowing near dead-on accuracy every time you pulled the trigger, it's pretty much an all you can murder buffet with this thing in your hand.

The Golden Gun caused more than a few friendships to be ruined in the '90s.
