10 Video Game NPCs Who Got The Worst Deaths
4. Hitler Gets Shot In The Balls - Sniper Elite 4
The Sniper Elite series rose to popularity off the back of its fantastically satisfying sniping mechanics, namely the franchise's marquee X-Ray Kill Cam feature introduced in Sniper Elite V2.
X-Ray allows players to fire a bullet and observe in painstaking, up-close, slow-motion detail as it tears through the recipient's flesh, bone, and internal organs, and perhaps even explodes their damn testicles. Yup.
But the second and fourth games in the series allowed players to kill none other than Adolf Hitler himself, with Sniper Elite 4 providing a number of creative ways to do away with the Führer, from crushing him with a large boat, to crushing him with a giant eagle statue, to even rigging up his casserole with a bomb.
Yet sometimes the old ways are the best, and given everyone's favourite playground song about Hitler, could it really be more fitting to kill him by firing a high-velocity round into his knackers?
Amusingly the X-Ray reveals that the game's version of Hitler also only has one testicle, and players will receive the "Albert Hall" achievement for killing him this way.
Hitler may have been epic human garbage on a biblical scale, but there's no denying how awful it would be for anyone to die after having their one remaining nut forcibly exploded by a projectile. Oof.
