10 TERRIBLE Video Game Levels That Took Away Your Powers

3. Don't Look Down - Far Cry 4

It's actually a pretty common trope throughout the Far Cry series to periodically take away most if not all of the player's weapons, yet never more irritatingly than in Far Cry 4's Durgesh Prison level "Don't Look Down."

In addition to being imprisoned and separated from all your gear, you're also hopped up on hallucinogenic drugs because, why the hell not?

So, you need to try and escape the prison without weapons, while also avoiding the hallucination of a masked tribal killer who, believe it or not, will actually kill you if you're spotted.

Getting killed throws you right back to the beginning, and even after you escape this section courtesy of a grappling hook, you have to navigate an outpost filled with guards and alarms which can similarly lead to a quick death.

It's without question the most widely loathed mission in the entire game, and a textbook example of a "no gear mission" designed simply to piss players off.
