8 Video Game Secrets That Were A Waste Of Time

Now, normally you'd not see the words "actual bloody lightsaber" and "waste of time" in the same sentence because after all lightsabers have been certifiably proven to be some of the coolest weapons known to mankind, however, the LZ Answerer which players can unlock in the absolutely batshit Resident Evil 8 bucks this trend because it is about as useful in combat as trying to flick your opponent's nipples while they're decking your face in.

To unlock this manky melee weapon, players must first go through the rigors of completing the admittedly fun Mercenaries mode and getting a SS rank on every stage, then use the CP generated from those runs or farm the currency from others challenges to drop a mighty 70,000 CP in the Extras Shop to purchase the LZ Answerer.

And while there might be a true childlike joy in powering up this beast for the first time, you'll soon be made to look like an utter berk when you attempt to dice a lychan and barely remove the peach fuzz from its testicles. Seriously, for a supposedly "ultimate" weapon, it sure does make one Je-die inside a little when even regular enemies still take multiple hits to fell, despite being marketed as an item that can cut through things like butter.

While it's technically the best melee weapon in the game in terms of power output, that's like saying a brick is a better anesthetic than a shoe covered in nails, and you'll find yourself growing extremely bored of the item within moments leaving the rest of your time with the game a reflection on how much time you sunk into getting it.
