10 Powerful Video Game Weapons You Had ONE CHANCE To Obtain

In Resident Evil: CODE Veronica, Claire Redfield can pick up two submachine guns reasonably early in the main campaign. With these rapid-fire weapons, Claire can aim at two targets simultaneously, allowing her to mow down anyone who crosses her path.

But since we can't have nice things, the mopey Steve Burnside takes these firearms away from Claire shortly after. Because the SMG can tear apart zombies in seconds, it would've been cool to keep them.

Turns out, you can! If Claire heads back to the military prison and gives a hemostatic to Rodrigo, he'll trade his lighter for her lockpick. This doesn't seem important at the time, but the exchange has a major payoff.

Later, players take control of Claire's brother, Chris. When he encounters Rodrigo, he'll offer Chris the lighter, letting the boulder-bashing agent unlock a set of machine guns in the catacombs. Even though there are still plenty of undead creatures to contend with, things should now be easier, as you're equipped with two boomsticks.
