4. Thunderclap - Rise Of The Tomb Raider

Thunderclap is one of the most badass weapons in not just Rise of the Tomb Raider, but also pretty much any Lara Croft game.

It's a double barrel shotgun - so immediately cool points there - and also one of the most powerful weapons in the game, which also helps. But, in all fairness, it needs to be cool, to make up for the fact that it's otherwise basically entirely useless.

But how can such a strong weapon be useless? Well, because of when you are gifted such a thoughtful and well-intentioned present.

Namely, that you get the weapon as a reward for 100% completion of the game, at which point you've... sort of killed everyone you needed to, making this elite gun a bit of a waste.

On the plus side, you can use the weapon on chapter replay and score attack - or just go fight a bear or something - but it's not quite the same as getting to blast your way through a bonus area, or get a new game plus mode where you can wreck shop with your new toy.
