20 Most Powerful Video Game Weapons Ever

10. Fat Man (Fallout 4)

While the Euclid C Finder was great, that whole "only being able to fire it once per day" can screw you over if you're not careful. Whereas the Fat Man from Fallout 4 rightly decrees that "careful" is for nerds. As is skipping leg day - apparently - considering that mini nukes don't have any weight in this game.

The Fat Man is a mini nuke slingshot that launches miniature nuclear warheads at folks you don't like so that they - as well as the surrounding countryside - get bathed in a few thousand degrees of heat, a ton of radiation, and a tiny version of one of the most devastating weapons in human history. The only real weakness is that it can easily be used against you the minute your target gets too close for you to fire and safely be outside of the explosion radius.

But as long as you keep your distance and just keep firing until everything is dead, the Fat man will be your best friend out in the wasteland.
