10 Overpowered Video Game Weapons That Made You Rage Quit

2. Vex Mythoclast - Destiny

Vex Mythoclast Destiny
Bungie

As befitting their reputation for being the rarest, most unique weapons available in Destiny's universe, the expectation that Exotics be suitably powerful to boot has never been called into question, though in the Vex Mythoclast's case, Bungie went a tad overboard with its stopping power.

Boasting the damage of a Fusion Rifle but the range and fire rate of an auto rifle to compensate, it goes without saying that if you won the lottery and nabbed a Mythoclast after toppling Atheon in the Vault of Glass, your first port of call would be the Crucible.

And so would begin your domination of Lord Shaxx's Guardian-populated arena, melting other players in a handful of shots from safe, risk-free range. The power discrepancy only became more obvious as additional Guardians got their hands on the weapon and, eventually, Bungie had no option but to neuter its effectiveness.
