10 Overpowered Weapons and Items That Completely Broke Video Games
The Knife (Wolfenstein: The New Order)
After successfully taking over the world, you’d think the Nazi menace of Wolfenstein’s world would have designed armor that could resist traditional weaponry like a simple combat knife. Luckily for B.J. Blazkowicz and the rest of the world, they didn’t, and the knife proves to be one of the most powerful weapons players could hope to have on their Nazi killing endeavors.
Able to tear enemies to shreds in close combat and an instant kill when thrown into any of their softer bits, the knife is a must-have throughout the entirety of the game and an easy solution to most any human enemy that stands in your way.
It was understandably replaced in the second game, along with some reworked mechanics which encouraged players to use more of the series’ diverse weaponry, but that only makes it that much more fun to go back to The New Order to get one’s hands on the knife all over again.
