What is the cheapest/most powerful weapon you have ever encountered in a video game.

For me, its the AWP sniper rifle in counter-strike source.

As soon as I saw this I thought, "AWP" but it's not really that cheap. Several games have some really overpowered weapons but I can't think of anything extraordinary.

Grenades in CoD multiplayer.  Each game was like starting a match where you were rained on by artillery.

The grenade launcher in any game seems to always be the cheapest weapon. I mean how do you beat high speed explosives?

The Railgun in MGS4. It's so hilarious to do a new game+ with it.

I think the Golden gun was the most powerful and cheapest. It was powerful because 1 hit k.o, and it was cheap because of that...

The Blue shell from the mario kart games, those things are freaking badass.

But as for things in games that I play, the energy sword in Halo 2. That thing was so powerful it made me shiver

Toss up between Land-Shark Gun or the Topsy-Turvy and Black Hole mines from Armed and Dangerous.  Land-Shark Gun and Black Hole mine are pretty self-explanatory.  The Topsy-Turvy Mine, for those who haven't played the game, screwed into the ground and had handles on the top.  When it went off, it reversed the pull of gravity sending everything but you falling into the sky.   I laughed every single time I used them.

There have been a lot of guns that are overpowered or "cheap".  My vote goes for the sniper rifle in Gears of War. With active reload its a 1 hit kill everytime. For new people, they just get owned left and right. Cheap way to rack up kills.


Now that I think about it, really any sniper rifle in any game is pretty cheap.

i actually find that funny not really cheap though cuz you can just blow them away with the shotgun.


But as for cheapest weapon i would say TOW missle from warhawk doesnt matter what you are in tank, jeep, foot, warhawk, if you get near its radius you are dead

The Awp, Man i hated the sound of that thing.
The P90 in Cod4. Especially combined with some of the perks.

I wouldnt say the rocket launcher from halo, as those things are supposed to be powerful, thats why they have only a small amount of ammo and slower travel.

as far as gears id say the chainsaw.
