9 Video Game Rewards You Shouldn't Accept
1. The Bane - Borderlands 2
No other entry could be at the top of this list because at no point does Borderlands 2 do anything but ACTIVELY DISSUADE you from going after this reward. So if you're putting up with The Bane, then that's entirely on you.
The Bane is one of the most hilarious acts of trolling ever seen from a major publisher. A sidequest in Borderlands 2 tells of a legendary gun known simply as The Bane.
As you search for it, you come across more and more horror stories from the folks unlucky enough to actually find The Bane. Every step of the way, this quest is littered with the game asking if you're absolutely sure you want this gun. If you ignore all of those red flags and press on, though, you finally find it. And it is indeed an INCREDIBLY powerful gun.
At the cost of everything else.
Equipping The Bane lowers your movement speed to the bare minimum; your character now moving at around the speed of crawling, if not slower. On top of that, every time you fire this gun, The Bane lets out annoying, high-pitched shrieks with every bullet fired. Oh, and the sound still blasts loud and clear even if you turn the in-game volume down to zero.
The Bane is the ultimate slap-in-the-face video game reward. But hey, they did warn you.
