You may have heard it said that a man is only as good as his word. Well if we apply this sentiment to the world of video games, one would have to say that a gamer is only as good as his character’s weapons. The video game industry has changed a lot over the years. The industry is filled with games♒ that feature a run and hide mentality, (𒆙mainly horror survival games), as well as puzzle, music or racing based games. These games have no weapons or enemies to battle, making weapons completely useless in the process.

Yet, there are still games in this world being made every day that feature some incredibly powerful weapons. From classics like The Legend of Zelda franchise to more modern franchises like Assassin’s Creed, the industry is filled with some truly magnificent, powerful and clever weapons to battle equally powerful foes. Whether it’s an alien invasion, demons or just survival in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, these wea♈pons can mean life or demise for your video game character. So when you jump into these games, the question always arises: what weapon do I need in this situation? What sword will defeat the fabled dragon? What weapon do I take into battle against this alien horde?

That’s 𝕴what we are here to answer for you guys today. We are going to share with you the thirty most powerful and strong weap💮ons ever found in video games. Be prepared for a deep dive into the history of video games.

However, you’ll need to complete 40 shrines or defeat four divine꧙ beasts and then complete 24 shrines (securing 13 heart containers along the way) in order to pull the weapon out like Excalibur in the King Arthur story. Otherwise, your health will be depleted if you try grabbing it sooner.

29 ♛ 𒅌 Whisper Of The Worm (Destiny 2)

One of the most coveted sniper rifles in the second Destiny game, the weapon is rare in that it only becomes available during a public event known as Taken Bright o💜n Io’s Lost Oasis area.

Complete it in 20 minutes or less and you’ll come💜 away with the Whisper of the Worm sniper rifle. Happy hunting.

28 ܫWindshear Sword (Skyrim)

Th♈e epic and amazing RPG game features an incredibly large sword known as Windshear.

The weapon is notorious for being able to hit and stagger enemies of all shapes and sizes, including large dragons.

27 🅷 Encore Schematic Staff (Dragon Age: Inquisition Trespasser DLꦍC)

This is the kind of weapon you’ll want to have in the Dragon Age: Inquisition game. It’ll increase your attack speed, add bonus damage to your party’s attacks and will even regenerate health for your party. At the entrance to the Crossroad🦩s area you will see a skeleton with a treasure map on the left-hand side after you pass the first Eluvian. It’lꦛl lead you to the location of four Halla statues in the Winter Palace. Collecting all four statues will grant you the weapon, and you will have a powerful weapon to wield indeed.

26 Aerondight (Wit❀cher 3) ⛦

This powerful weapon can be found in the game’s Blood and Wine expansion pacꦅk.

Widely considered to be the most powerful silver sword in the game, the weapon 🅘increases in power by 10% every time you hit an enemy with it, building it’s charge until you are able to deal a critical hit every chance you get.

To gain this weapon, you’ll need to complete the “There Can Only Be One” quest, where you will need to display five virtues to a hermit near Corvo Bianco before defeating him in🐟 a duel, at which point the Lady of the Lake will bestow the mighty weapon to you.

25 Hand Canon (De♚ad Space 2) ඣ

The terror and dread of the Dead Space franchise gets a little bit of fun in this next weapon. The most powerful weapon in the game is this giant red hand foam finger that uses unlimited ammo and will make anythi🐲ng it’s pointing at explode. In order to gain the weapon you’ll first have to beat the game on standard difficulty, then beat it on the new and much harder difficulty setting you unlock from the first time around. After two times through the game, fans will need to let loose with this powerful weapon.

24 🍰 Had♐okan (Mega Man X)

This next weapon is a bit of a crossover between two franchises, as one of the Street Fighter power moves makes it way over to Mega Man.꧙ This weapon allows Mega Man to use Ryu’s Hadokan abil🎃ity, shooting blue fire balls from his hand cannon.

Yet to get this weapon is insanely difficult.

You will have to collect every boss weapon, heart tank, energy tank and armor up𒆙grade in the game. Then during the armored armadillo level, you’ll have to ride the mꩵine cart to the end of the level, jump off the wall at the end to another level and grab the energy power up. Then you will have to jump into the pit below and repeat the process five times, until finally the weapon is found in place of the energy power up.

23 ✨ 🐭 Magnopulser (Far Cry 5)

This weapon is interesting, in that it’s an alien artifact found in the highly popular latest edition to the Far Cry franchise. It’s bestowed to you by mad scientist Larry Parker, who is one of the citizens of Hope County, where you are trapped by the evil cult you were sent to stop. At long ranges the weapon allow🌞s you to throw objects and people around, but at close 🍒range it’ll vaporize enemies. However be aware vaporized enemies don’t leave behind loot, just weapons and ammo. To find this weapon you’ll need to find Larry at Parker industries, then complete the side quests he bestows on you before you can grab this weapon from him.

22 Hidden Weapon (Dark Souls 3)ꦍ 🐷

This is a more literal translation of a “hidden weapon”, as it’s not that difficult to find in-game, but is actually invisible. You’ll need to buy a spell from Orbeck of Vinheim for a mer🥀e 1,500 souls after giving him the Golden Scrolls.

You’ll then need to use the spell on a staff or weapon that can cast spells, turning it invisible for about 45 seconds.

While not very practical in the single pꦑlayer campaign and more likely to lead to your doom, in multiplayer it allows you to keep your attacks secret from other players on the battlefield.

21 ܫ Prophet’s B🦩ane (Halo 5: Guardians)

Not only does your damage increase while using this, but you will get unlimited camouflage and increased speed as well. Typically this w൲eapon is found during multiplayer rounds at random, however this weapon can be discovered in single player campaign mode. To do th𒈔is you’ll have to complete the Flaming Knives on Osiris Easter egg, which involves setting the first level Osiris to Legendary difficulty, then finding and lighting seven knives throughout the level. Doing this will cause the room to rumble, then your weapons will be replaced with the Prophet’s Bane and a plasma pistol just as a Promethean Knight and Warden Eternal show up.
