10 Weak Video Game Characters That Are Secretly Overpowered

The postapocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 4 is a ruthless and unforgiving place. That's why you need a reliable companion that you can always count on when things get a little dicey. There are plenty of characters in the game that are willing to lend you a hand; however, if you're looking for a true powerhouse that can obliterate any enemy you come across, you need to look no further than your unseemly robotic butler, Codsworth.

Yes, despite being the first available companion and a simple house robot that has never seen combat in well over two hundred years, Codsworth can be secretly made into one of the strongest and most terrifying companions in the game. This is all thanks to the special robotics station that the player can unlock through the Automatron DLC.

The station allows the player to create their very own robots; however, it also allows them to modify existing ones. Including Codsworth.

With just a few upgrades, Codsworth can be turned from a simple Mr. Handy unit into a military-grade tank with lazer beams, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers.

But don't worry. You can still put a bowler hat on him and ask him to tell you his terrible dad jokes.
