“Fallout 3” (2008)
Every Fallout Game Ranked
What’s a better weapon than a nuclear bomb? How about a portable weapon that lets you fire miniature nukes? If so, then look no further than the Fatman. Don’t let the funny name fool you, the Fatman is downright terrifying. With the ability to catapult its nuclear payload across long distances, this weapon has both the range and power to decimate whole swarms of enemies unfortunate enough to be caught in its blast radius. In Fallout 4, the Fatman can even be equipped with the MIRV mod allowing it to fire six nukes at once.
#9: Planet Buster
Planet Alpha - Review
“Spore” (2008)
In this evolution simulation game, players can grow and evolve their own race of creatures. Building civilizations and expanding their influence from small tribes to even entire planets. As players evolve, they also unlock a variety of tools and weapons. Among the most powerful is the Planet Buster which can be unlocked after reaching the Space Stage. Once fired, it completely destroys a planet to the point where it becomes permanently uninhabitable. This weapon is so dangerous that using it is tantamount to committing a war crime. As a result, firing this weapon will negatively affect your relationship with other planets, with the exception of the hostile race known as the Grox.
#8: Quantum Deconstructor
“Destroy all Humans!” series (2005-)
The title says it all. In this iconic video game series, players are able to access a variety of hardcore weaponry to accomplish their goal of terrorizing and destroying the human race. The most powerful weapon that assists in that endeavor is known as the Quantum Deconstructor. The Quantum Deconstructor is considered the most powerful weapon in the series and is capable of blowing anything and everything to space dust. With this weapon of mass destruction on hand, Crypto becomes an unstoppable killing machine and victory over the human race is all but assured.
#7: BFG-10,000
Top 10 Strongest Hidden Weapons In Video Games
“Doom Eternal” (2020)
The 20 Weirdest Ways to Play DOOM
The very mention of this weapon is enough to leave even the creatures of hell shaking with fear. The BFG 10,000 is essentially a bigger, badder and more overpowered version of the iconic BFG 9,000, which it uses as a power source. After fighting through hordes of monsters in the Phobos moon base, players have the privilege of firing the mother of all BFGs. Once activated, this weapon unleashes enough energy to blast a hole in the surface of Mars. With a gun this big, it’s best not to get on Doom Guy’s bad side.
#6: Hammer of Dawn
“Gears of War” series (2006-)
Gears 5 Review | MojoPlays
The Gears of War franchise features a ton of dangerous weapons designed to fight back against the Locust Horde. However, in terms of raw power, there is no better weapon to rely on than the Hammer of Dawn. This orbiting satellite fires a laser capable of vaporizing anything unfortunate enough to be marked as a target. From the Locust to even entire cities, almost nothing can escape from the Hammer of Dawn unscathed. It’s so dangerous that it can just as easily bring about humanity’s destruction, as it can its salvation.
#5: Annihilaser
“Planetary Annihilation” (2014)
If you’ve ever wondered if there was a video game equivalent to the Death Star, then look no further than the Annihilaser. This planet-sized doomsday weapon can fire a blast of energy and obliterate any planet it sets its sights on. Building it can be difficult as it requires five catalysts and a metal planet, as well as protection from other players. Even so, it’s worth the time and effort to build as doing so will grant any player the power to wipe out entire solar systems. What's more, the Annihilaser does not have a recharge time, so it can be fired almost immediately after it is used.
#4: Karma Fortress
Top 10 Times Streamers Got Instant Karma
“Asura’s Wrath” (2012)
In Asura’s Wrath, the planet stabbing Wailing Dark is definitely a fearsome weapon. However, it pales in comparison to the demigod's stronghold, the Karma Fortress. Roughly the size of a planet, the Karma Fortress is an intimidating sight. Not only does it have the power to crush anything to dust, it also possesses the power of a super weapon known as the Brahmastra. By drawing on the power of Mantra, the Brahmastra unleashes a laser beam of concentrated energy capable of blasting anything to kingdom come. Whether it's swarms of evil Gohma, gods or even planet-sized monsters, very few beings can survive a strike from the demigods’ ultimate weapons and live to tell about it.
#3: Apples of Eden
“Assassin's Creed” series (2007-)
The 10 GREATEST Weapons In Assassin's Creed Games
Don’t let their size fool you, the potential for destruction of these relics is immense. The Apples of Eden allow for whoever wields them absolute control over humanity, with the exception of a few chosen individuals. Created by an ancient civilization known as the Isu, the Apples can be used to create realistic illusions, control minds, turn people’s thoughts into reality, manipulate energy and so much more. Throughout history, the Apples were used by powerful figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Queen Elizabeth the First, as well as Pharaoh Akhenaten. All of whom used the Apples to increase their influence and procure power for their own goals. In other words, whoever possesses the Apples can shape the foundations of human history.
#2: Halo Array
Halo Was Almost A Strategy Game for Mac! History of the Halo Franchise
“Halo” series (2001-)
The 10 WORST Things About The Halo TV Series
These planet-sized rings were created by the Forerunners, an ancient and technologically advanced alien race. These rings are designed to be used as a last resort against the Flood, parasitic organisms that consume and wipe out entire sentient species. Despite being designed to end the Flood, the Halos do not actually destroy them. Instead, they target their food source, which in this case is pretty much all intelligent life in the Milky Way galaxy. Once activated, the Halos unleash a wave of radiation that obliterates all intelligent life and leaves the Flood to starve themselves to death. With the exception of those with access to the Forerunner installation known as the Ark, activating the Halo Array is guaranteed to kill billions.
#1: The Crucible
Top 10 Messed Up Weapons in Video Games
“Mass Effect 3” (2012)
10 Biggest Changes in Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Similar to the Halo Array, the Crucible is a super weapon of last resort developed by an ancient alien race to stop a major threat. The reason why the Crucible is so dangerous is due to its three possible functions, all of which greatly affect the future of the galaxy. Before activating it, Commander Sheperd has the option to either destroy all Reapers and synthetic beings in the galaxy; control the Reapers at the expense of their physical form, or use it to merge both synthetics and organics into a single race. With each option having different outcomes, both good and bad, its potential for destruction is something to be feared.
