10 Video Game Rewards You Unlock For Doing Completely Mundane Things
1. Repair Toasters, Evaporize Your Enemies - Wasteland
The toaster repair skill has been a staple of the Wasteland series since its debut appearance in Wasteland 2. It seems like a worthless skill to have in a postapocalyptic world, but those who gave it a shot and levelled it up all the way to ten know just how useful it can really be.
Although the skill does exactly what it says it does—repair toasters—the number of these little metal boxes you find in Wasteland games is quite astounding. Moreover, each one contains some kind of goodie for you to loot once you unjam the device and make it operational. These can range from mostly useless things like actual slices of toast bread to stupidly powerful stuff like special tokens that you can exchange for unique gear and, of course, deadly weapons.
The best part is that most guns you find inside the toasters come with a unique ability of their own, meaning that each prize you get from your repair work is sure to feel special.
The toaster repair skill may not sound as cool and flashy as melee and firearms abilities, but in the world of Wasteland, one's knowledge of kitchen appliances is just as deadly as any conventional weapon.
