8 Overpowered Weapons Hidden In Horror Video Games

Now to be clear, there is a huge distinction between a weapon being wielded by a user and calling a highly trained deadly super soldier a weapon of mass destruction, but I think you'll forgive me for fudging the definition slightly with this one, as if you've played any of the XCOM games you'll rightly agree that ANY help in ANY form is an utter godsend.

Also, if you don't count XCOM as a horror, then you don't even know the absolute fear of missing a 99% chance-to-hit shot. The terror.

Watching your weak meatbags get annihilated over and over again by aliens with superior weaponry is demoralizing to say the least, so what if I told you that there were some secret super-soldiers hidden in XCOM: Enemy Unknown that will help you turn the tide in dramatic fashion?

It turns out that if you head to the solider profile section of the game, you'll have the option to edit their name, and if you select from a list of real-life developers of the game, you'll get access to already upgraded warriors with powers far beyond that of your usual squad.

You suddenly go from being on the back foot to blasting apart aliens with psychic powers or amazing one-mile headshots. Having the achievements disabled for using such secrets is definitely worth it.
