9 Video Games That Make Stupid Weapons Awesome

6. Resident Evil 5 - A Rotten Egg

Resident Evil 5 has a lot of guns; assault rifles, shotguns…those ones that Chris Redfield uses to punch a boulder into a volcano. When fighting for your life amongst the mutated and virus ridden undead, anything high caliber or explosive can be the difference between stopping them or joining them. If all else fails, however, can I offer you an egg in this trying time?

First appearing in Resident Evil 4 as a way to heal or stun Ganados when thrown, the cornerstone of the fry up returned to the roster in Resi 5, with the ability to deal small amounts of damage to oncoming Majinis. Whilst regular eggs will buy you a small amount of time, the rotten equivalent is another beast entirely. Hurting the player instead of healing, the egg can be thrown to cause a whopping 1000 damage. More than a shotgun, and enough to take down a basic Majini in one pungent hit.

How do you like your eggs in the morning? Right in that zombie’s eye socket, that’s where.
