10 Starting Weapons In Games That Are Secretly Overpowered

All three of Bloodborne's starting weapons are strong enough to carry you through the whole game, but one of them, the Hunter's Axe, also happens to be one of the best weapons out there.

It may not look like it when you start the game for the first time and get mauled by a bunch of werewolves, but the axe is secretly the most versatile and scalable weapon you can get your hands on. Its secret lies in its range and the fact that its two alternate modes let you use it for both one-on-one fights with bosses as well as easy crowd control when you're exploring Yharnam.

The high range of the weapon means that you can keep all of your enemies at bay, and once you start scaling it with strength, it will also deal tremendous amounts of damage to them while you're at it.

A fully upgraded and properly scaled Hunter's Axe is a beast in combat that only a few other weapons can match in terms of its damage output and versatility. And while you can certainly try to play around with them, there's really no need for that, seeing as the Hunter's Axe is there for you from the start.
