8 Video Game Rewards You Only Get ONE Chance To Grab - Commenter's Edition
4. The Bouncer - Ratchet And Clank (2016)
There's nothing quite like the sting of being reminded every time you open a menu that you're missing an item just because you didn't rush out and pre-order the game, and such is the case with Ratchet and Clank's 2016 reboot/film tie-in game/remake when it came to The Bouncer.
Now, The Bouncer is a brilliant weapon that you can snap up for a cheap as chips 100 bolts when you arrive on Novalis and is easily one of the best crowd control weapons in the game, firing a bouncing ball of death that explodes on contact with enemies releasing smaller bombs... which also bounce and explode. It's got a gimmick to say the least.
When upgraded The Bouncer shines even brighter. At Level 5, these smaller balls also explode each and every time they bounce making it a feast for the eyes and the vultures circling above. However, as Chris Bailet points out, this was only for people who pre-ordered the game, and as such anyone picking it up later will have a hole in their inventories, and a hole in their hearts.
