8 Worthless Video Game Items You NEVER Used

7. PS20 - Deus Ex

Pokemon Love Ball
Ion Storm

If I were to say to you "would you like a weapon that fires a burst of plasma designed to melt the face off of anyone and that doesn't create an unsightly bulge in your pants?" you'd probably be all over that right? A portable nuclear reactor that could help with stealth missions? Who wouldn't want that?

Well, this is how the PS20 markets itself in Deus Ex. However, the shortcomings of this weapon become pretty apparent the moment you try actually using it. As this plasma pistol HAS JUST ONE SHOT, talk about pressure right? One shot is all you get to eliminate your target so you better not bloody miss.

And it's HERE that the weapon's second setback comes into play, as even if you do channel Slime Jesus through you and nail a perfect headshot there's a good chance that the enemy won't even die thanks to its pathetic damage output.

Excellent, it's like trying to take down an army using a toy you'd find in a cereal box.
