2023 was a great year for games, and any good year for games is also a good year for powerful weapons. Weapons are how we interact with the world in video games – and we’re not going to talk about those regular boring weapons everyone can find. These are the secret weapons – the unlockables we missed and the overpowered tools of destruction we’d do anything to earn. Some of these weapons are ridiculously difficult to unlock but they’re all worth tracking down in 2024.
The Phantom Liberty DLC redeems one of the shakiest video game launches of the last few years, turning Cyberpunk 2077 into a legitimately great game. Phantom Liberty does more than your average DLC, adding secret weapons only the most dedicated players will discover. While you can find hidden weapons by exploring secret parties all over the new region of Dogtown, we’re talking about an even more impressive unique gun that’s hard to find – the Erebus. This special weapon shoots bullets infused with Blackwall power, which if you’ve played Cyberpunk, means very bad things. Basically, the gun shoots AI-enhanced digital bullets that spread like a deadly virus, rapidly draining the health of everyone in an area it spread to.

We won’t go deep into spoilers here – but you need to side with Reed before the final missions. Following Reed’s path leads to a secret underground facility you can explore. Inside this facility, you’ll need to discover the code to an optional locked door. Through the locked door into the engineering bay, you can recover the blueprint for the Erebus weapon. After completing the expansion story, return to your apartment. After some time has passed, a mysterious caller will contact you. Go to Yoko, one of the first Netrunner vendors you’ll meet at the start of the game, and she’ll offer to help you. Give her the gear and you’ll get this gun.
And this is a doozy of a gun. It has unique effects you won’t find anywhere else in the game, and it is absurdly hard to get. Of course, we’re going to put it first on the list. You ought to get it too. I’d guess 99% of players missed this weirdo weapon, and it’s easily one of the most powerful weapons to unlock from last year.
The legendary Handcannon is back in Resident Evil 4 Remake. If you’re a fan of Resident Evil 4 or Resident Evil 5 or really most of the Resident Evil games, you’ll be familiar with the overwhelming power of this revolver. And Resident Evil 4 even gives you options for unlocking it. Capcom really knocked the Resident Evil 4 Remake out of the park, adding even more weapons – and with those weapons come increased difficulty. This game is way harder than the
