10 Pre-Order Bonuses That BROKE Their Video Games

1. Saints Row 4 Commander In Chief Edition - 'Merica Weapon

Saints Row 4 can't do anything half-way. The game prides itself on seeing just how far over the top it can go and how many boundaries players are willing to watch the game destroy.

Its pre-order bonus is no exception.

Players who pre-ordered the Commander-in-Chief edition of SR4 received a special weapon called, appropriately enough considering the nature of the game and its humorous take on being the President of the United States, 'Merica.

'Merica was literally the ultimate gun. It had the following : light machine gun, sub-machine gun, automatic shotgun, heavy pistol, minigun, rocket launcher, and a flamethrower.

Oh, and just for good measure, a huge combat knife.

While holding down the trigger, all of the 'small' weapons fire, and the player can alternate between rockets and the flamethrower as the secondary weapon. To top off this lunacy, while it's equipped, whatever music you've selected stops and the US Marine Corps battle hymn begins to play.

Although 'Merica can't damage heavy armour like tanks, it absolutely obliterates most other opponents, to the point you almost feel sorry for them as you go about vapourizing the neighbourhood.

To say this bonus is overpowered would be doing the word 'overpowered' a grave injustice.
