Get Known if you don't have an account. A minor form of munchkining, wherein a player exploits the ability to gain a powerful item or weapon early in the game. This allows the player to rush through the first potentially tedious parts of the game without major challenges. There are a few ways to do this, many involving patient use of the reset button and quick access to a save point: Abuse a game's Item Crafting mode.

In most cases these involve using seemingly useless item s to craft a rare item either to sell or use. Grind early mini-games as much as possible so that their typically low prize money adds up enough to swap for an item hiding behind a Cash Gate.

Steal equipment from a temporary party member So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear in reverse. Having the creator " encourage " buying a previous game to automatically obtain that item from the previous game. Level grind and combine for hours to get the best Mon ; either the Mon itself is the Nuke, or it enables access to it. Pushing a Crutch Character into an early powerhouse, especially in some form of Crippling Overspecialization. Being given a Taste of Powerand then finding a way to keep those items forever.

Acquire a very niche spell which is normally highly impractical but very useful for grinding a particular species of a Beef Gate which is not supposed to be beatable at this point.

Results in loads of EXP and an overpowered party. It should be noted that the first three cases can be used together in tandem depending on the nature of the game itself.

For example, a rare item from a enemy can used to craft another rare item to be used in another situation such as grinding in another area. More dishonestly, you can outright cheat with various popular "all items" codes, as many of these items can be patiently used to achieve the effects of other codes that may wreck your game by screwing with Event Flags.

Depending on the game, this may be a form of Sequence Breakingsince many adventure games rely on the logical order of obtainable equipment or abilities to reach the boss you need the grappling hook, found across the lake for which you need the flippers, found behind the boulder for which you need the bombs, etc. The "Breaking" part of the term is a deliberate cautionary word choice, since doing this in some titles can cause the game to crash entirely and necessitate a complete restart, sometimes many hours of play after the sequence is initially broken.

Distinct from a Game Breaker in that it's usually not enough to carry you through the entire game, although the two can overlap. Level Grinding can theoretically get you to this point, but in most games it would take so ludicrously long that it's way more tedious than just getting on with the game. There are plenty of Disc One Nukes that exploit some aspect of the game to make grinding way more lucrative than it should be, however. Twinking is when you do this by using a high-level character to feed loot to a low-level one.

Last Disc Magic is the inverse of this. See also Peninsula of Power Levelingwhere you can gain experience early on rather than items or equipment. If it's potentially purchasable in a store, you may be looking at a case of Teaser Equipment. The Legend of Zelda: From the original game: With luck and perseverance, you can go into Level 1 with six hearts, the White Sword, the Blue Ring, and the big shield.

In the second quest, you have to either get the Whistle from Level 2 or beat the first two dungeons before you can get the White Sword which, for the record, requires you to have five heart containers. After obtaining the Bow in Level 1, you can take a very dangerous trek to Level 8 and get the Magical Key, which lets you open an unlimited number of locked doors and thus bypass large portions of the dungeons.

A Link to the Past: A minor Sequence Break allows you to easily get the Magic Cape, which gives Link invisibility and by extension, invincibility and the ability to phase through large bumpers found in some caves and dungeons.

To get it, you just need to go to a certain grave in the Dark World inaccessible in the Light World until late in the game and warp to Light World to enter a secret passage.

You can get the second-strongest sword as soon as you get the Hammer, an item from the first Dark World dungeon. Along with the Mirror, it can be used to rush into the fourth Dark World dungeon, grab the upgraded Glove, save the blacksmith south of the town early, and get your sword upgraded.

This upgraded sword lets you kill the second Dark World dungeon boss in two hits. The Ice Rod is an optional item that is usually obtained much later in the game. However, as soon as you obtain bombs basically the instant you leave the Sanctuary, the game's tutorial zone you can make a somewhat dangerous trek to the southeastern corner of the map, blow up one wall, and get the Rod early.

It will go through your early magic meter at an alarming rate, but it does ludicrous amounts of damage, allowing you to two-shot the second dungeon's bosses. A Link Between Worlds has the upgraded Fire Rod. Deals as much damage as the Master Sword? Can hit enemies multiple times? The pillar of fire can travel up and down stairs and even be thrown at targets lower than you?

Big area of effect and travels a whole screen's length, and will keep hugging a wall if it hits it at an angle? Easy on the magic meter? Available before you enter Lorule for a modest amount of Rupees and a few Maiamais? Checked to hell and back.

A glitch from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening allows the player to grab the final dungeon's weapon, the Fire Rod, at the very beginning of the game.

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeyou can get the Biggoron's Sword within an hour or two of becoming Adult Link. While it does force you to sacrifice your shielding ability, it's twice as powerful as the Master Sword, has better reach, and is more useful in most situations. Majora's Mask has the Bunny Hood and the Blast Mask, both of which can be easily obtained in the same day cycle as soon as you're able to leave Clock Town. The former increases your speed by 1. These two items make the first dungeon laughably easy, and will continue to be useful throughout the entire game.

Before starting the second dungeon you can take a little detour to Ikana Valley with the Lens of Truth and obtain the Stone Mask, which makes all enemies ignore you and makes dungeons and especially the Pirate's Fortress much easier.

With one of three possible soul combinations, it is possible to acquire by far two of the most powerful equips in the game as early as the midpoint: Additionally, grinding for one of those monsters' souls Curly can be done in the same room as the Valkyrie soul, which is expensive on MP but disgustingly powerful and one of the few forms of holy damage aside from the Claimh Solais itself.

In yet another example, the Mystelain is one of the other holy swords, and while it's nowhere near as good as the Solais, it can be found in a secret room in the Clock Tower, which is a fair bit before that weapon. Again, it's the holy damage that's key, and it's very useful against Death, the boss of the tower. In the sequel Dawn Of Sorrow, the Mandragora soul throws a shrieking mandragora into the middle of the screen, which explodes like the enemy does.

It can be obtained pretty early if you're willing to grind for it, costs little MP, has very good range, and does quite a lot of damage and remains useful for most, if not all of the game. Symphony of the Night: You're supposed to not get them until you've got the mist form, but there's a secret lift that appears if you wait a while in the room above it, allowing you to get them earlier.

They have little range, but are quite strong. Mastering the Holy Water early on also counts as this - the sooner you figure out how you can own bosses in seconds with it, the better. Alucard's spells are this as well. Normally you're supposed to wait until you purchase the button commands from the Master Librarian to use them, but if you just happen to know the button command or look up a walkthrough online you can cast it and have it added to your menu right at the beginning of the game.

Soul Steal hits every enemy on the screen multiple times and each hit restores 8 HP breaks the first half of the game wide-open.

Just before going to Kyoto the first time in Onimusha: Dawn of Dreamsyou'll have access to Roberto, whose unique ability is to move heavy objects, and Jubei, whose small size lets her maneuver in tight spaces, such as holes and narrow walkways.

Backtracking to the first area of the game The Plains Highwayyou can now use these characters to create shortcuts through the area. Getting a Gold Ranking rewards you with the Red Bell, an accessory that makes enemies drop more red souls which levels up your weapon and armor. You can repeat this mission as much as you want - and you will be overflowing with enough red souls to max out the weapons you can have at this point and build up your armor as leveling up increases your number of accesory slotswhich includes the Onimaruif you have it.

Subsequent rewards for Gold Ranking is the Sweet Herb, a fairly uncommon material that can be used to make strong healing items. All of this makes later stages like the Oni Mansion much easier to handle.

If you spare the time to fiddle with combinations it's always a fixed numberyou can unlock the door and get a Rare Antler, which can be used to make powerful equipment, such as the Blue Bell. Mega Man Legends has the Machine Buster arm, a laughably weak rapid fire weapon that you can get as soon as you save City Hall about a half-hour in. If you spend about three hours grinding the little bird Reaverbots in the newly accessible ruin in the field before you fight the Marlwolf that drop surprising amounts of Zenny and max out every stat of the weapon except "Special", the weapon turns deadly.

It'll destroy the Marlwolf so quickly that the dialogue will glitch out, and mow down every boss up until Bruno in mere minutes. Even then it's not useless, just outclassed by other weapons and your now upgraded buster gun.

Boktai 2 has a couple of examples: The Solar Forge is a Disk One Nuke goldmine. Merging two level 1 swords yields a level 2 sword, two level 2s yields a level 3, etc.

A very easy Sequence Break allows you to access the Bonus Dungeon after the second dungeon rather than the second to final one. You're not supposed to go to Dream Avenue until you have the gun back, but it can be accessed much earlier by purchasing Coffin Monster Elephan which comes with a built-in projectile attack. With a bit of luck and patience you'll level up 7 or 8 times on your first trek through and come out with weapons that are much stronger than the ones the Devs meant for you to have at that point.

Most notably this supplies some handy weaponry for the aforementioned solar forge. Boktai 3 has the La Vie En Roseobtainable as soon as you finish the Noob Cave and reach the town.

By purposely welshing on a Dark Loans debt and having to be "punished" for it three times, Doomie thinks you're doing it because you love her and gives you the sword. It will remain a useful weapon throughout, as it's unbreakable and powers up as you level up, but will be an invaluable crutch weapon for the first couple of dungeons.

Particularly against the obnoxious Hresvelgr. In God of Waran exploit involving the tutorial for using the Medusa's Head magic, the XP bonuses given by the combo system, and the Poseidon's Rage magic you get on the first level allows you to potentially stockpile enough experience to instantly max out the levels of every new spell you acquire the instant you get it, along with the gear you have at that point.

In the next-gen version of Spider-Man 3the player can unlock all the webswing speed upgrades by completing races even before completing the the second story mission. Early on in the original Devil May Cryat the start of the 4th mission "Black Knight"Dante is pursued by Phantom. Dante can either run away to another room to avoid fighting—however if you managed to purchase the 'Air Raid' attack, it can deal a large amount of damage to the boss, and defeating it will usually yield a lot of Red Orbs at that point in the game.

You can save, and then quit the game, reload, and you can repeat this process and eventually have all of Alastor's skills, an improved health and magic devil trigger meter before you even leave the castle.

About halfway through the first chapter of Metal Gear RisingRaiden will find himself near a factory with an old Ferris wheel nearby. There is a ranked fight and a box on the opposite side of the wheel that needs Blade Mode to open. The blade mode box always contains a Holo-Chip worth 5, BP, and A-Ranking or S-Ranking the battle will yield 4, BP. You can win the fight, grab the chip and save Courtney or the Customize menuand when you restart from the last checkpoint, Raiden will be standing near the wheel, fully healed, all item boxes reset including the blade mode box and be able to redo the battle.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World If you keep going through the first level of the game, you'll eventually have enough money to buy tonnes of upgrades from the shops in the first level.

There's also a hidden shop on level one that has some items that give ungodly boosts to your stats without having to pay bucks first. There's also a secret passage that you can reach that is filled with flying piggy banks that you can break for cash. Combined, you can attain high levels with ease. Of course, the shop's location is revealed in one of the trailers that promoted the game, so anyone who was watching the game before it came out would know exactly where it was.

However, if you have a snack with you, you won't lose a life because the snack will Auto-Revive you. There's a cheat that gives you The Power of Love the sword with a heart handle that you find near the end of the game at the start of every level. If you use the infinite money to get to a high-enough level that you can use the Grand Slam move swinging any held item 3 times in succession and level up your strength allowing you to swing held items fasteryou can then steamroll through the game.

In the NES version, the player can level-grind his way through the first few fight scenes alone by simply spamming the same basic punches and kicks on enemies. This is due the fact that the player gains experience points, not by defeating enemies, but by landing attacks.

Since enemies aren't killed until they're knocked down to the ground, it's possible to attack an enemy as long as possible while they're still standing up. There's also a glitch in level 2 that let's you erase an enemy from the screen by back-tracking. However, if you stand where he was and punch, the game will register it as a hit and you'll gain experience. It's possible to have max experience and all the available techniques in about 2 minutes.

In Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King from EA, a smart player will focus their skill points towards the purchase of the counter-kill "Bane" abilities, which is ridiculously easy to pull off and puts the character into Perfect Mode on a successful execution, making all resulting kills in that brief period "Perfect" kills, earning the player far more experience points.

A number of cards exist which allow you to play stronger cards on much earlier turns than you normally would be able.

Examples include Tolarian AcademySol Ringand Black Lotus. Most of these cards are now on the banned list for this reason. Some 1-mana cost cards and 0 mana cost cards, espeically in Black and Red colors, give you this for major early turn advantage. They do this by either providing you a creature with ridiculous stats for the low cost Such as Vexing Devil or Kird Ape or an effect that normally would cost much more such as Sign in Blood.

While they usually come with some sort of drawback to not make the completely overpowered, once they hit the field they are no different than any other late-game creatures or spells you can play for a higher cost and no other drawbacks. Hence why these type of decks need to win as fast as possible; as soon as the game progresses past "disc one", they're as good as dead. Fortunately, with the right set up, they can win quite easily before then hence the "nuke".

Daily Life With Monster Girl Online does this intentionally by giving you Miia as your very first character. She's significantly weaker than other characters of similar rarity, but she's strong enough to carry you through most of the early game maps until you get stronger characters from the gacha. In Gran Turismo 4you can import cash from your GT3 save, up tocredits. With that sort of cash, you can buy a car that will storm all of the opening races without breaking a sweat.

Or, you could get a decent car, work the licenses to an A grade, win the first rally and with a Cien, which will storm most races it can enter. Oryou could win the second rally and sell the car you win for a coolWinning either of these rallies is easier than it sounds, as they are on tarmac and thus do not require dirt tires, an expensive option which shuts out most starters. Gran Turismo 3 allowed you to do the Rally license tests without needing to complete the other license tests.

This means that, provided you got the gold on all of the tests, you had access to the Subaru Impreza Rally Car Prototype, allowing you to plow through most of the early game races, as well as some mid-game and rally races, too. Gran Turismo 2 has the Grand Touring Event Series. All of the 3 races. Every race rewards you a JGTC car and JGTC cars in this game are unrealistically fast. The last one, which requires a HP car to have a chance of winning, rewards you a JGTC Skyline, which has no restrictor plate and thus makes around horsepower instead of the horsepower PS limit in JGTC.

And it's a 4x4. The Dynamix PC game Death Track allowed you to choose between three cars: Crusher high firepowerPitbull heavy armor and Hellcat high speed. If you chose the high speed car, and in the shop sold a couple of the default weapons that came with the car, you could afford the fastest engine available, making you able to win all the first races by lapping everyone else.

The frequent wins allowed you to fully upgrade your car early on, allowing you to beat the whole championship quite easily. In Test Drive Unlimitedselling a car to a friend with high amounts of cash for an exorbitant sum allows one to buy advanced cars early on in the game, allowing you to smoke the competition using overwhelmingly fast cars.

In Need For Speed Most Wanted the oneany of the Blacklist racers' cars. After beating one, you get two choices out of six markers, three of which are hidden. The markers are get out of jail free cards, extra impound strikes, various high-quality parts from the car shop, or the pink slip to the other racer's ride. Each of these cars is much faster than a the same car bought from the dealership and upgraded to the same level and b anything else you're going to find on the road.

Often the car won't be unlocked for several more hours, and each car is more than powerful and agile enough to beat the next couple racers.

Early on, this is crucial, because you'll be saving money on parts that you can use to keep your heat level down. In Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for both Wii and PS2, you can get ALL the Dragon Balls as early as in Chapter 4 of the Saiyan Saga, provided you know where they respawn.

You can wish again and again for very powerful Potaras, thus having absurd stats to plow through Story Mode and others as well with little effort. This is averted in Tenkaichi 3: Dragon Balls are now randomly found among the rubble in the Story Mode fights, as there is no world map anymore.

Then again, they won't be of much use as Story Mode characters have prescripted equipment, all the Potara system was reworked so that you couldn't max more than 2 stats out of four total, health not included, the high-level Tournaments are difficult for the wrong reasons damage carries over to the next fight and your skills matter way more than stats when playing online.

Many of the aforementioned stuff can be unlocked in multiple ways, the simplest is fighting X number of battles both wins and losses are counted.

Defeat the opponent 50 times setting VS. You can repeat this for the other default classes and you'll also be unlocking other things along the way - it's possible to have the Edge or Calibur type weapons before even setting foot in Tales of Souls.

This method also makes going through Chronicles of the Sword much easier. Shadow of Chernobyl allows you to nab a mid-game armor with Night-Vision Goggles in the very first village with a bit of jumping skill, unique second-tier weapons often appear by the third area usually in the hands of easily dispatched mooksand by the time you unlock the Bar not a quarter into the game, nothing stops you from heading to the Army Warehouses, a reasonably quiet late-game area where Duty and Freedom kill each other in a scripted event, leaving you free to loot their bodies.

In fact, doing a few low-effort missions for Freedom there allow the Marked one to net a valuable pump-action shotgun and the best suppressed weapons of the game the AS Val and the VSS Vintorez with barely any effort - it's just a matter of knowing who to talk to and what info to disclose. In Clear Sky you can find Scar's Vintorez near the top of the first area where he dropped it in the beginning cutscene, and while ammo is scarce for a while you can repair it for just an easy-to-make sum of rubles.

You can exploit a clipping bug to steal an AK and scope from the CS mechanic, and the game practically throws high-end weapons at you constantly. The way they did stashes in Call of Pripyatthough, takes the cake—they're more realistically hidden in cubby holes and other out-of-the-way places rather than randomly appearing in containers, but that means that once you know where they are you can go fetch game-breaking weapons and supplies pretty much the moment you start the game. From the exact beginning of Call of Pripyat, a player can find; the second-best shotgun in the game, a nice mid-tier assault rifle, the best scoped rifle in the game, the second-best pistol and an upgraded version of the beginner armour set for free, without even talking to anybody.

Or firing a single bullet. Through Nimble who is located at the very first hub of the gamehowever, a perspective player with some extensive artifact moneymaking can outfit himself with some of the best equipment in the game before he even begins the plot. By abusing an exploit in the training rooms in the tutorial level, you can start the game proper with- among other things- a Laser Pistol in perfect condition, maintenance tools, an assortment of healing items, a Standard Pistol, and a PsiAmp.

The weapons in perfect condition are the biggest boon, since it takes a while to fully upgrade the maintenance stat. Additionally, you can unlock an armory very early on if you already know the code which normally is given to you three levels latergaining access to the game's best weapon before you could possibly have the skill to use it- but ensuring that you'll already have it whenever you do acquire the skill.

Further abuse of memorization provides early access to other keypad locks. You can skip the entire first level this way, not to mention large sections of other levels. In all games, the Random Number God charged with generating guns can net you some pretty neat stuff even early on, such as a Fulgurating x4 elemental multiplier submachine gun in the third game area visited, looted off a Skag refuse pile.

FT service which is an in-game code entry system for Borderlands 2 allows the players to enter codes to get additional skins and Golden Keys. Currentlyone can get Golden Keys just by entering Golden Key Codes into the system, which usually aren't immensely powerful, but always allow the player to have a gun that's much more powerful than their current level.

In the case of DLC character Aurelia, being a wealthy Baroness means that she starts off with Purple-quality weapons and a large chunk of money that lets her get anything she wants from vending machines.

Metroid Primeat least the original, non-Players' Choice version, allows you to cheat the system and get the Space Jump Boots right as you land on Tallon IV. As a result, you can skip every single boss in the initial run of the Chozo Ruins except for the Incinerator Drone. It also allows skilled players to skip right through the Magmoor Caverns without the Varia Suit, a feat considered impossible otherwise. Basically, once you land on Tallon IV, you can snag the SJBs, speedily grab the weapons and Energy Tanks, and be in the Magmoor Caverns faster than you can say "Metroid".

Echoes gives you the "taste of power" variety of disc one nuke, except normally it's stripped away from you when you go to the dark world for the first time. Using a glitch called Infinite Speed and a bit of Secret World trekking, you can skip losing your powerups entirely. Beware, triggering the cutscene where you lose your powerups after actually collecting an item causes you to lose everything you've collected to that point permanently.

Halo 4 's Spartan Ops have a small-scale version of this in many chapters, if you have a lick of common sense. You can steal Wraths instead of destroying them.

The developers did not plan for this, and so often, you'll have a a plasma-firing tank when you are supposed to have two sticks and a rock, and you're got to share the rock. It makes stuff on Legendary possible without invoking We Have Reserves.

Over time, they've wised up The Ranger Pack DLC in Metroalong with the Season Pass in Metro: Last Lightcan make their respective games quite easy by giving the player access to ridiculously powerful weapons early in the game. The Ranger Pack bestows the Volt Driver, which can kill virtually anything short of a Librarian in one or two hits, as early as the second mission of 's Chapter 2, while both it and Last Light's Season Pass give the option to purchase the Heavy Automatic Shotgun.

As the pages for both games state, "nothing that can be killed survives the entire belt". In Last Lightyou get to pick your choice of weapons and attachments from the Ranger armory in D6. At the end of the first mission, you get captured by Nazis and your weapons are taken away. On regular difficulties, you have to make do with looted enemy weapons upon your inevitable and prompt escape from captivity. In Ranger mode now DLC only, unfortunately you can find your weapons on a rack not long after starting your escape, letting you rock out with silenced assault rifles and silenced six-round shotguns when the human enemies are packing cobbled-together submachine guns and pistols.

Of course, this being Ranger Modeyou're going to need the extra firepower. Nosferatu The Wrath Of Malachi: There's a hidden revolver in the very first room of the first major section of the game the player is going to enterlong before you can save a family member that will give you a revolver.

Master of Orion 2. There are a number of "special" systems which generally have some kind of reward for reaching them and a top quality planet to colonise. The catch is, they have a big space monster who will kill any interlopers. It seems expected that you need to build up a strongly armed ship or two in order to kill the monster.

However, generally a fleet of about 10 scout sized ships armed with MIRV nuclear missiles can take them out - even if you lose most of your fleet in the process. This trick works because most of the monsters have only 1 or 2 extremely powerful attacks - each will easily kill a ship, but only one at a time. Doesn't work on hydras, the Guardian, or Antarans though, they have too many attacks. Emphasize science and tech straight to Feudalism to get Longbowmen, a vicious defensive unit that can protect your cities well up until you unlock riflemen.

This is doubly true of any cities you founded on hill tiles. Go hell bent for bronze working to get Immortals. Build up an army and declare war on someone immediately; score as many great generals as you can. Start a golden age, which lasts twice as long as any other civ. Keep extending it with every great general you get. Sit back and laugh as you conquer the world, since the golden age also makes your military units stronger. Find a planet with xenoarcheological ruins? Drop a colony module right down next to the ruins, start digging them out, and on the day before the dig is complete, save.

Advance a day, and if you discovered tech you don't like, reload and let the RNG give you something else. Doing this can net you the various nano-level technologies, maxing out your civilization's propulsion, weapons, energy generation and shielding systems, potentially before leaving your home star system.

In an early mission, X2: The Threat gives you temporary control of a fairly well-outfitted Argon Express. If, upon returning to Terracorp HQ, you sell off the shields and rear gun, you'll get overcredits, enough to fix up the stripped Argon Mercury you're about to be given and still have enough to make a decent trading run. Terran Conflict has many abandoned ships drifting a little off the beaten path that you can find, and either sell or use. Some of them, like the Advanced Barracuda, are powerful enough to last for large chunks of the game.

The Xtended Game Mod for Terran Conflict adds in the ability for NPC craft to cause each other to bail out in combat previously exclusive to ships being attacked by the player.

Normally one is just likely to find abandoned and heavily damaged Pirate scout ships that lost battles to the Border Control, but every once in a while you can find abandoned corvettes, station transporters, and capital ships. However, claiming corvettes and larger ships requires a special piece of software that costs a half a million credits, as much as a kitted-out interceptor.

Dark Alliance series allows you to import character from other save files - even the character that you are currently playing. Abuse of this can enable a player to max out their character's levels and equipment as soon as they reach the town. The game allows you to trade between your characters online. One neat trick is to make Khalim's Willwhich is usable by characters of any level because it's a quest item and provides obscene amounts of damage for most if not all characters below level 25 when you acquire it, you're generally around level It's still somewhat useless by the time you can get it there barring a very specific build.

However, joining a normal game and giving that much damage to a character in normal mode essentially means anyone can go through the whole of normal one or two-shotting every monster with a regular short bow. To put it in perspective, Diablo only has 14, HP on Normal though fire resistance does factor in and Baal, the boss of the expansion only about twice that.

The most a regular enemy has is about Makes early level grinding in Hardcore a breeze. Hyrule Warriors has two weapons for Link Epona and the spinner and one for Zelda the Dominion Rod as Downloadable Content. The difference between these weapons and all others is that all three levels are unlocked once you download them, as opposed to needing to get the higher levels unlocked in Adventure Mode or Story Mode.

Thus, they can be found any time a weapon spawns as a pickup. Should the second or third level get spawned and as using a Link, Toon Link, or Zelda amiibo will spawn a level three weapon for that character if used, such spawns are easy to findyou'll get a powerful weapon to clear through early parts of the game very easily. DLC characters Twilight Midna, Young Link, and Tingle also come with all of their weapon levels unlocked and available as drops, but their use is restricted to Adventure Mode, so it's not as strong of an effect.

Armored Core features the Human PLUS enhancementwhich can only be obtained by failing missions until the credit count reaches During the mission "Work Robot Removal", destroying all of the generators to fail the mission on purpose can guarantee you credits, yes, you fail the mission in order to grant the power of Nine-Ball. That said, gamer pride is on the line for this one - it's not a hidden power bosst so much as the game telling you that you SUCK and giving you a crutch.

Canonically, the Player Character is such an Ace Pilot since he keeps up as the only Core pilot without Human PLUS. MechWarrior 3 had a salvage system which allowed you to get just about any enemy mech, provided you shot one of its legs off and anything could be equipped on any mech.

As a result, you could end up with a ton mech after mission 4 and 2 ton mechs after mission 8. MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries features a gladiator arena, where you can play 24 missions very early on.

Command & Conquer - Generals - Zero Hour Cheats, Cheat Codes, Hints, Tips

When you get out, you have enough money to buy a few of the best mechs on the market, and the in-game time has advanced enough for them to be available.

Heirloom items can make leveling alts ridiculously easy, as they scale with character level and have stats appropriate to rare items. This is intentional, as you have to already have a level 80 character and spend a fair amount of justice points to acquire them. In the Good Bad Bugs camp, there have been a few instances where Blizzard forgot to make quest reward gear Bind on Pickup, meaning that, since they have no level restriction, players could equip them on their low level alts.

These bugs were quickly squashed, however. Another of those bugs involved Enti's Quenched Sword, a grey lowest level quality sword, basically intended as vendor trash for high level players, but it had no minimum level to equip and so could be sent to a low level alt. While its base damage was ridiculously low even compared to the weapons you started with, it still counted as a high Item level item, and could therefore have the high end weapon enchants applied to it, which when sent to a low level alt, gave him a VERY powerful weapon.

Sadly the lack of a minimum level to equip was fixed in the next patch. In the original Guild Wars campaign, there was a lively economy of high level players who would party upfor a price, with low level players and run their party from quantitative trading system book first non-tutorial town how to trading soybean meal futures, more commonly from the last outpost before the high level enemies show put call parity american call option to the last large town where they could get the best armor in the game.

Both the running service and the armor would cost much more money than a beginning character has, but since you can freely transfer money from all other characters on your account this was not much of a problem. Grinding your mining and smithing levels while selling off the goods gets you not only a good amount of cash, but also some very alpari forex withdrawal weapons and armor— and since the enemies around the first couple of towns generally don't aggro on sight, it's easy for your fighting levels to be too low to use said weapons and armor.

Formerly possible in zOMG! Gaia Online staff quickly realized the many problems with this and locked the rings. Realm of the Mad God is one of the few games that doesn't have level requirements for equipment AND they don't have vendors to buy unwanted items. Not surprisingly, one may see level 1 characters with top tier equipment, and veterans will frequently give their unwanted items to newer players.

On the downside, one will also frequently hear newer players begging for items. The Wonder Wing move in the first game. You learn it as early as Clanker's Cavern, and it effectively makes you invincible against enemies and kills all of them, even normally invincible enemies like the Mummies and Skeletons.

The only catch is that you can only hold 10 feathers at a time for the move, and refilling it isn't easy due to how scarce the feathers are.

Banjo-Tooie gives us Kazooie's dragon transformation. All you need to do is grab the Ice Key in Jinjo Village once you learned the move to reach it, and then learn the Talon Torpedo from Jolly Roger Bay, which lets you access 60 sec led binary options demo account area in Glitter Gulch Mine, granting you the Mega Glowbo.

Trading it in to Humba Wumba in Isle O Hags lets her turn Kazooie into a dragon, which replaces the Rat-A-Tat with a fire breath attack that can one-hit kill any enemy and even scare most enemies away and it works for Kazooie's standalone form as well and gives you infinite ammo for Fire Eggs, which is a huge help.

It makes the first few worlds really easy even by Kirby standards. Fusion has an example hidden right before the first boss. Almost right above where you find your first Energy Tank, you can missile open the roof and find a second Energy Tank, effectively doubling the amount of health you would normally have at that part of the game. LEGO Harry Potter contains a nice little gem. After the second level in the whole game the first one at Hogwarts you have the ability to get to the "Collect Ghost Studs" Red Brick powerup, before the plot would normally allow you to.

You can easily get the 4 million needed to get Accio which makes a lot of the puzzles moot by just giving you potion items as well as other spells in just an hour or so of grinding.

Add to this a glitch that sometimes allows you to collect ghost studs after you finish year 4 when you shouldn't be able to and this really edges into the territory of Game Breaker. LEGO Star Warsdue to a programming oversightby default made any custom character with a red lightsaber a sith. Sith characters are the only ones able to interact with black LEGO bricks, and normally you aren't supposed to have access to such a character until you beat Episode One and unlock Darth Maul.

However you're free to make a custom jedi with a red lightsaber and be able to move black LEGO before you even beat the first stage, giving you access to several red bricks cheats much earlier in the game. All the various LEGO Adaptation Game titles all have several unlockable characters that can be accessed by entering a cheat into the extra menu some also have cheats to unlock red bricks.

Usually at least a couple of these characters will have abilities you aren't supposed to access until much later, allowing you to access secrets in the Hub World and Free Play modes earlier than intended. The Laser Swat lets you break gold bricks much earlier from The LEGO Movie and InGen Hunter 1 has the shoot and grapple abilities from Jurassic World are even borderline Game Breakers for what they give you access to and are both unlockable via a cheat code.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has a way for determined players to get hold of all seven Chaos Emeralds - and therefore, gain the Super Sonic ability - in the very first Act of the very first Zone through judicious use of the reset button. And even without the reset button, it's possible, with skill and patienceto get all 7 before the end of Act 2 of the first zone.

It suicide dives at said alarm. Put yourself into a Spin Dash, but don't release and it'll rack up the points to eventually give you loads of lives. In Sonic 3a skilled player can get all of the Chaos Emeralds within the first two levels of the game. Angel Island contains two giant rings per act, so before finishing the first level a player could have four of the seven, then another four, two in each act in Hydrocity.

Alternatively, one can wait and not get any of the giant rings the first two levels, and just use the eleven chances available in the third level, 8 rings in the first act and 3 in the second. Needless to say that getting it on the first two levels means the auto binary options trader 300 seconds of the game can be blown through.

Both acts of Mushroom Hill combined have at least 7 giant rings. It is much harder to do as Sonic but still possibleand much easier to pull off as Knuckles due more to the amount of special stages available on Knuckles' unique routes than the difference in abilities.

One of the most famous examples is the Metal Blade from Mega Man 2 ; it is unquestionably the most powerful weapon in the game, and one of the most powerful in the entire series; besides being very easy to acquire from the start due to its easy-to-beat robot masterit delivers high damage and can cut through multiple mooks at a time, has a machine gun rate of fire, fast speed and long range, the ability to shoot in eight directions, and an ammo capacity so ridiculously large that would take a conscious effort to deplete it!

And on top of that, it's the only weapon in the game that, some more than others, works effectively against half the robot masters it deals good-to-decent damage to four of them, including the boss you get it from in the rematch, and it's also the weakness of one of the Wily bosses. If it weren't for it's sole handicap of several enemies being completely immune to it, it would make the Mega Buster all but obsolete!

Mega Man 10 has a similar instance with the Triple Blade, obtained from Blade Man. He's the easiest boss once the player gets his strategy down, and is thus a good contender to fight first.

Although it doesn't have as much ammo as the Metal Blades, the Triple Blade also allows you bid stock market definition attack forward and diagonally with a Spread Shotlearn forex live home study power course hector deville password shot is stronger than the standard weapon, and they also penetrate foes they destroy.

It's tricky, but far from impossible to beat Storm Eagle first without the stock market poised for correction to dash against his wind so long as you know where and when to start running.

The reward, Storm Tornado, rips through stages like nothing. If you have the guts to take on Sting Chameleon and Storm Eagle second and third after Chill Penguin and get the Buster upgrade from Flame Mammoth's stage soon after, you're rewarded with the ability to constantly turn yourself invincible for the rest of the game, and all for relatively little ammo consumption to boot! Of course, doing this is a one-way ticket to the bad ending, and usually makes it impossible to get Zero's upgrade unless you're very lucky.

A more "legal" example is Zero's C-Sword skill, obtained from Grizzly Slash. It has good range, and can strike multiple hits. And defeating Slash also rewards you with the Double Jump ability, which, as many fans would know, is very useful. What makes it a Disc One Nuke is that Grizzly Slash is the easiest boss and level in the game, and a good choice to start on the 8 bosses.

Maverick Hunter XStorm Tornado is a very useful weapon; it hit multiple times and can go through enemies to hit ones behind them, making it good for clearing out the levels of enemies so you can focus on navigating the level.

Storm Eagle himself hos stock market worksheet also an easy boss to beat once you unlock the dash in addition to helping you get out of the way of his vertical attacks, it also allows you to shoot him while he is performing his Ring Out attack. Encouraged in the Skylanders games; your Skylanders' stats are saved to their figures instead of the game's save file, so after you beat a game once you can play it again with your now around level 10 Skylanders, breeze through most of the game and get them to the level cap along the way.

After that, you can now take your max-level and fully upgraded Skylanders to the next games in the series or the previous games, if they're compatible with them karachi stock exchange share market go on a rampage. You'll get similar results with the more powerful trappable villains in Trap Teamparticularly Kaos who is a Game Breaker in and of himself.

Super Mario World has the Top Secret Area, found in only the second world and easily accessible if you're aware of how to unlock it.

The hidden HAL Rooms in Kirby titles often contain Copy Essences for abilities that either can't be gotten until the late game such as Fighter and Wing or are exclusively gotten from mid-bosses Hammer being the only one.

Additionally, buying certain amiibo allows you to gain specific abilities at will; this includes the aforementioned Smash Bros. In the very first level of Blender Brosyou can find Puwape, a Mini Bro who lets you walk on water. This isn't gamebreaking itself at all, but if you know the music to use, Puwape can be evolved into Cyupy, who can steal health from enemies and give it to Blender.

The game's crafting and spell research and skill buying systems also allow for severe Game Breakers. The above mentioned Divine Right spell can be learned by any class after capturing a knight and building a mage tower, which can be done before reaching the first boss. Similarly, the chill tough spell, which causes your opponent to miss 3 turns, can be learned at about the same time.

Similarly, the components for the absolute best gear in the game can be acquired at about the game's halfway point, allowing for every boss from then onward to be a cakewalk. Normally, leveling up only helps with certain enemy, as the game scales Random Encounters.

However, you can buy skill points without leveling up, allowing for a level 1 character to have more attack power than any enemy in the game. Another skill combo that can be a Game Breaker is the Warrior skill Berserker Rage combined with Conflagration.

The former converts all red gems into skulls, and the latter changes all gems of a particular color into red gems. With proper items it's possible to achieve turn one kills from level 20 onward, making for very disappointing boss and multiplayer battles. The first two 5-star monsters, the first being Amaterasu that players get in Elemental Story serve this role for a while until the player can amass enough resources to do a roll which may drop another 5 star monster.

However, Amaterasu, being a healer, is less useful compared to the other monster. In Dota 2you can defeat Roshan at the first 20 minutes at the game as Ursa, once you get Vladimir's Offering because Ursa has an ability called Fury Swipes, which makes the enemy suffer more damage from you the more you hit it And as such, you will recover health even more.

Heck, you can get on level 1 if you have a friend with you and ask him to pick Wraith King. That is because of Wraith King's Vampiric Aura, which gives Ursa and himself a lifesteal attack. As such, you can give your entire team gold and yourself an extra life at the start of the game. The game even acknowledges that, as Fury Swipes has a timer of 15 seconds to fade away on an enemy if Ursa doesn't hit it. Only in Roshan the timer is command and conquer generals zero hour unlimited money glitch seconds.

And whenever you pick Vladimir's Offering, Ursa will actually say a voice line regarding of killing Roshan. I come to reclaim what you stole! Sacrificing for Artifact Weapons because certain roles get powerful weapons as guaranteed first-sacrifice-gifts, and Wizards get their best weapon as a guaranteed first.

An early co-aligned altar virtually guarantees ascension for a well-played Wizard.

This strategy is referred to as "digging for victory. The Small Cave is guaranteed to have several items inside, including a very useful waterproof blanket and several weapons.

Sometimes, you can find command and conquer generals zero hour unlimited money glitch out-of-depth items like eternium weapons or armor. There's a massive one for players who get the Raven starsign. Completing a certain quest nets normal players the Rune-Covered Trident, a very powerful artifact weapon, when they reach level 36, but usually that's a little too late to make a big difference. Raven-born characters, however, get the trident at level 16 stock brokerage compare, and at that point it's almost guaranteed to be a major upgrade to their current weapon.

The 'Heir' talent, a semi-hidden talent obtainable at the start of the game, provides your character with an item - usually an improved weapon or armor piece. These range from 'slightly better than starting equipment' to 'carry you through labour day trading hours bunnings good chunk of the game'.

If you polymorphed the creature you were facing into a high-level monster say, a Griffin or a Jabberwockand then killed it with the damage-dealing wand, you'd instantly earn enough experience points to jump to level 10 or The next ten or fifteen dungeon levels are trivially easy to survive with that many hit points. Faster Than Light has this due purely to the random nature of the game.

It's quite possible to acquire some powerful gear right out of the gate—for instance, you could jump into a debris field in sector 1 and find a Halberd Beam, which, while not the most destructive of the beam weapons, can still tear right through many early enemy ships. However, it's notable for being very hard to veer into Game Breaker a brief overview of one touch binary options trading to no single weapon being superior in all situations the aforementioned Halberd beam, for instance, will be laughed off by forex broker association level 2 shield or higher.

A rare Shoot 'em Up example: The Plasma Storm in Tyrian.

Although it has very limited ammo, it can destroy most bosses in a matter of seconds. And it's obtainable even before the first stage of the first chapter of the game! An early Wave in Raptor: Call of the Shadows has a Air-Ground Missile pickup from a destroyed building about 30 seconds into the Wave. You can then quit out to the hangar menu, keeping the weaponand sell that weapon for half price on the Black Market in this case, 70K.

Repeat this process until you have enough money. Alternatively, if you're more patient or have access to the level warp cheatthere's a later Wave that drops a Dumbfire Missile worth even more credits. The Tektite Blaster T-Braster in Gaiareswhich has a bit of a Guide Dang It on how to get it Fire the TOZ 6 times, missing all of them, and then capture an enemy weapon with the 7th TOZ shot.

In the tank-based Seek And Destroy The Challenger is unlockable in the third town. It just happens to be one of the best armored tanks in the game second only to the Maus unlocked at the endgameand has a large amount of carry weight meaning that it can be upgraded with sufficient weaponry and armor to make the game something of a cakewalk Harvest Moonsurprisingly. In Harvest Moon 64you can get Karen up to a pink heart in a matter of minutes, just by showing her your dog a couple hundred times.

Also, this might be debatable as "early" depending on your priorities in the game, but by getting a seed maker in A Wonderful Life and a fruit tree you could sell fruit tree seeds and be easily set with money for the rest of the game. Another Wonderful Life tried to tone it down by making fruit tree seeds sell for less, but it was still a huge cash cow compared to Rune Factory does it best ways to make money on runescape f2p better by making it possible to mine high-quality sapphires in the second dungeon.

The sapphires reset once you come out and go back in, leading to a lot of players becoming millionaires in no time at all. House and farm upgrades became an instant piece of cake. No Harvest Moon embodies the Disc One Meaning of binary option trading in the uk better than Harvest Moon DS.

With clever Save Scumming while mining, the right guides, and a fair bit of patience, it's possible to become a multi-millionaire who can work past exhaustion without penalty, have access to the ultimate crop-growing area, AND have all of the legendary tools within the first two days of the game. Skies of Deception has the XFA It can be unlocked as early as five missions in, yet its stats are comparable to lategame fighters even before tuning.

Plus it comes with QA AMs out work from home jobs in thane west without investment the box. At 26k it's only slightly more than half the cost of the much later-appearing F and can be bought one, maybe two missions after unlock if you're stocking up the cash from doing well.

Given that it was the Game Breaker superplane of Ace Combat 2though, this is perhaps unsurprising. In Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan Warthe F-5E starting plane can carry a few QAAM missiles, which are essentially guaranteed kills against aircraft. The Su Terminator is also unlocked after mission six and has very good special weapon options and 82 standard missiles.

SimCity allowed an easy solution to power problems for very cheap. By starting the game via map editor, the player could begin in a territory with a "pyramid" of waterfalls - free of charge. Filling this pyramid with hydro plants would provide power for the entire city, making early game a breeze as unlike most other plants, the hydro plants don't need to be rebuilt after a set period. In the first two Naval Ops games, blueprints for advanced ships as in guided missile destroyers when the enemies are still using WWII tech can be obtained fairly early on with the right research and come with weapons and auxiliary systems that would not be normally obtained until much later.

Advanced anti-sub missiles for your battleship are especially welcome. Finding your Dwarf Fortress site contains a volcano or a magma pipe near the surface: This is because you can use magma to power your forges indefinitely, meaning you don't have to waste wood or coal to do that, and magma is also a great way of disposing of prisoners, as well as invading goblin armies and elves. Elite Plus introduces the ability to buy different ships, but in most versions your starting Cobra Mk 3 -despite being woefully badly-armed - is a mid-tier model and quite valuable.

Trading it in for a smaller and theoretically less capable craft nets you a significant amount of cash to spend on various useful upgrades. Other games in the series toned this down heavily, for better or worse, but Oolite reproduces it faithfully.

EA Sports is notorious for this In the NHL series, EA frequently inserts a Make-a-Wish kid as a free agent with extremely good stats and little to no salary demands. Virtually any team could become a Stanley Cup contender by picking her up and using their existing goalie and salary cap room as trade bait. And since she was a pre-teen, she'd be kicking ass for decades. Madden NFL had a similar situation happen with Steve Young and Barry Sanders, who both making profitable calls on binary options signals early.

The games from the early s had a nuke in the form of any "play action" play. It was not unheard of to set NFL passing records with an otherwise mediocre offense simply by abusing this exploit.

This became less and less prominent in the latter part of the decade as the overall AI of the games began to improve. The Hidden Blade and its Counter Attack.

It's Difficult but Awesomebut if you master it early enough you can One-Hit Kill everyone. In Brotherhoodwhile the parts of the game where they are received vary by player, the crossbow and poison darts make most of the guard encounters a breeze, even in stealthier missions.

The ability to instakill most enemies silently is extremely boring, yet practical!

Revelations is full of these, largely due to the fact that basically everything opens up to you fairly early on in the story. The Master Assassin Armor set is attainable as early as Sequence 3, giving you massive amounts of health compared to the two pieces of basic leather armor available at blacksmiths at that point. Another example is the Datura Bomb. Easy to create, as bombs and bomb ingredients are unlocked rather early, yet makes every mission where getting detected is a fail incredibly easy.

Just get high up in a rafter and toss a Datura down upon the unsuspecting Mooks. Watch in glee asyour enemies choke and drop dead. As an added bonus to not being detected for it, nearby mooks will then walk over to see what happened. Right into the line of fire for the rest of your Datura Bombs Rinse and repeat as needed.

It will only happen if you didn't get the Three Armed Men scenario three men are how to make money illegally fast first, but allow you to scavenge in peace so long as you stay out of their way and don't attack them and is somewhat difficult, but very rewarding.

In it, you meet an army deserter who attempts to rape a woman. Back Stab him and take his rifle, ammo and moonshine and the supermarket is yours, giving you ample food for several days.

Well in the first level, there's an area where a group of militants are facing some mercs and a Stryker. Hidden in the area is a sniper who will pick off the militants who are exposed to him.

So look for the militant carrying an rpg and then run into him. He'll get angry and stand up to yell at Snake. Forex seminar in philippines the militants respawn, you can easily accumulate enough money to buy everything that Drebin can sell you including all his rocket launchers and the.

Resident Evil has three, with Jill having special advantages: The shotgun is available to both Jill and Chris, it hits much harder than your pistol, and ammo is relatively common. Moreover, if you can get the timing basic stock market classes mechanics right aiming up and shooting right before they grab youit lets you give a One-Hit Kill to zombies, as well as keeping them from turning into Crimson Heads in the Updated Re Release.

It's even better an example for Stock market options and futures, since she can obtain it very early in the game. Normally you are supposed to get the broken shotgun, which you can't get for a while, and swap it for the real one otherwise you set off a trap.

However, you can go straight there as Jill and take it, and Barry will save you from the trap at the last second. This lets you stock up on other ammo for everything else. Right at the beginning of the game as soon as Jill and Barry split up, you can head upstairs and yoink the Bazooka from Forest's corpse. The Updated Re Release made this one a little less powerful by locking the upstairs balcony door with the Armor Key, forcing you to wait until much later in the game as well as face the zombified Forest to find it.

Exclusive to the Updated Re Releasethere's the automatic shotgun. It's got all of the benefits of the regular shotgun, has a larger ammo capacity, it fires and loads faster, and it has slightly better damage and knockback.

You just need to save Richard with the serum and then he'll drop it when one of the game's boss monsters kills him. Again, Jill gets the edge, as she obtains it in the first fight with Yawn in the attic, whilst Chris has to wait until he reaches the Aqua Ring and kills Neptune.

While Joel has to scavenge to hell and back to craft shivs to sneak attack, Ellie has an unbreakable switchblade which can One-Hit Kill anything she faces if she gets behind them. In Exaltedit is entirely possible to create a character capable of hitting anyone, anywhere, with the spell "Total Annihilation".

Or how about being able to create a curse that kills off everyone who falls within a broad category - say, humans? In fact, most of the effort when creating a character goes into resisting the urge to crank up your favorite attack before you even begin playing.

Pretty much the defining characteristic of Mage: The Ascension in the minds of most players. A game where the progression and power limits were entirely defined in terms of a single character, with a loosely-written "cooperative casting" mechanic written in about five minutes before publication that essentially allows you to add mage statistics together with a spell and keep rolling until it was as powerful as you want? That definitely won't be a problem at all.

For reference, you put build points into schools of magic, and most effects need a couple points in several schools for instance, you need a few dots in forces to start a fire, but can't hit a person with said fire without life, and have to aim it manually without space. So on an individual level dumping all of your initial points into a single sphere is crippling.

Not so much with rituals and cooperative casting, a group of four or five players can essentially throw the sun on top of anyone on the planet they've ever met while sitting safely on the Moon from session one. Game of Imagination give few, to compensate for Early Game Hell: Mages start the game with amount of spells equal to related skill.

Usually it's Story-teller's choice do you get paid your first time donating plasma to give them at the start, but if players want to make the decision themselves, they have a budget of 50 Points of Proficiency for starting spells. It's entirely possible to start the game as a mage with Lighting Boltthe most powerful spell from the source javascript select option dynamically. Or just pick some efficient combo of mid-tier spells within given budget.

While one-handed, they deal the damage of two handed weapons, and half of it is fixed. Even with the worst possible damage roll they still surpass any regular sword with the maximum damage roll. In similar vein, dryads start with a special type of bow.

It's already second most powerful bow in the game, but the main point of the weapon is lack of any requirements - other bows take specific levels of Strength and Agility to use. Dryad's bow has none of it. Combat maneuver Second Attack costs only one point to buy during character creation, being the cheapest of them all, and is as broken as it sounds. While the second attack comes with a penalty, it can be overcome with sufficiently high Armed combat skill.

The infamous Pun-Pun, a kobold or other reptilian creature, but kobolds are traditional " Squishy Wizard " who is able to have any special ability, and has "arbitrarily high" stats — most players treat this as Pun-Pun having ascended to godhoodand for good reason. Strict mechanics allow this as early as 11th-level, but technically it could be done as early as 1st with the right magic item, or demonic knowledge. The key to this is one random but official splatbook for the Forgotten Realms setting.

The game has plenty of more mundane examples and in fact a number of mechanics have been used at various times with low level survivability in mind. But third edition had some doozies, not the least of which was Haste, which was a result of the dev team not understanding the change in action economy from 2nd edition to 3rd, allowing wizards to cast two spells per round without suffering the second edition drawback of aging more rapidly which itself could be mitigated somewhat by playing an elf but 3rd edition made that part unnecessary.

Of course the trade-off is you blow through your spells that much more quickly but you can usually talk your party into letting you recoup after an intense battle. Certain classes have a delayed casting progression, like the paladin, which only ever learns fourth-level spells and gets them much later.

To compensate, these classes also learn some spells earlier, so they can remain competitive; the aforementioned paladin learns the useful Lesser Restoration as a 1st-level spell, while the cleric gets it as a 2nd-level spell, so the paladin only gets it a level later. Then there's the archivist, who can add any divine spell to his spellbook and cast it at its original level. A canny player will abuse this ability to obtain spells at a far lower level than normal.

The aforementioned Lesser Restoration is one of the most common choices, as well as the 4th-level Scrying and Freedom of Movement as 3rd-level, the 6th-level Heal and Antilife Shell as 5th-level, and the 8th-level Summon Giants as 4th-level. This is all up to Rule Zeroof course, but by pure rules-as-written, an archivist could learn a spell that summons a CR 12 fiendish fire giant or three CR 9 fiendish hill giants at a level where a CR 3 howler is the best summon otherwise available.

The Warbeast template in Monster Manual II was designed to show what an animal looked like when bred and trained for battle. It was mostly pretty small bonuses all-around, plus stuff to make it easier to handle.

That wasn't the problem. The problem was that it included a formula for price This meant that a HD T-rex with the template was looking at a market price of gold While hurling thriftily-priced dinosaurs at the opponent doesn't stay effective forever, it's still insane for something you can manage at 3rd-level, and a guaranteed way to make your DM ban something.

The Moon Circle Druid is this in 5th Edition. The sub-class focuses on the Druid using Wild-Shape primarily as opposed to being a caster. When hitting level 2, this allows the Druid to change into creatures like Lions, Bears or Dire Wolves, all CR 1. These creatures typically have HP over 30, when other fighter-type P Cs at level 2 will only have around Their Attacks also rival Fighter and similar classes of the same level as well, while having some nifty effect bonuses like Advantage if an forex anlik canli pariteler is within 5', or the ability to automatically attempt to knock an enemy prone in addition to dealing damage.

The real kicker is that their HP are also considered Temporary bonuses. This power can be used twice before needing a Short Rest. This means that although the level 2 Fighter in the group might have an 18 AC and 20 HP, the Druid can shape-change into an animal with 32 HP and effectively gain 64 bonus HP before needing to rest to regain the power.

This disparity in power tends to taper off around level 5, when other party members tend to catch up. Age of Aquarius First Edition had the infamous "Psychic Vampirism" exploit.

Psychic Vampirism is a power that lets you drain psychic energy from any random Joe Shmoe and claim it for yourself; un fortunately, the authors forgot to specify how many Confidence points you are allowed to store, which means as many as you wish. And six Confidence points and above make you into a psychic god. Just go down into a crowded subway and drain one Confidence point from every random passer-by; you'll be able to levitate mountains, fire lightning from your fingertips and mind-blast Cthulhu himself.

Pathfinder has a few classes that qualify. The Magusa semi-hybrid that sacrifices the higher-level magic and versatility of a Wizard to gain the martial prowess of a Fighter.

They gain the ability to enhance their weapon with their own arcane power, giving them a boost to their accuracy and damage for minutes at a time. The ability only grows from there, gradually allowing them to add special effects to their weapon instead of just a flat bonus to attack and damage rolls. Taking it a step further is the "Bladebound" Magus archetype, which trades in some of their normal class features for an intelligent magic sword that automatically grows in power with them without even needing to spend resources to improve.

The Summoner can function as this as well. While the character themselves will likely not be any more powerful than another person of the same level, Summoners come with an eidolon companion: While they eventually fall behind actual player characters due to the way their power scales with their master's, a properly-built eidolon can easily take the roll of a party's main damage sponge or melee combatant at low levels, especially if their master focuses on buff spells to further increase their power.

The Summoner also has the Synthesist archetype, where their summoned eidolon takes the form of an armor-like covering rather than a separate creature. A Synthesist uses their eidolon's Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution instead of their own, on top of gaining all of the evolutions given to their eidolon. With this archetype, a Summoner can focus exclusively on boosting their Charisma since Charisma is the stat all of their abilities run off of and still trounce most enemies in a straight fight.

The RYNO II, a fast firing homing missile launcher than can mop the floor with most enemies and even kill the bosses in mere seconds, can be accessed as early as Tabora, barely a quarter into the game—but it costs a million bolts, making it unlikely that the player will be able to afford it until after a huge chunk of the game has been played.

Into The Nexus gives us the Fusion Grenade, once it hits V3 and becomes the Fusion Bomb, which explodes into Pyrocidic Nitroballs. It gets better when you use your Raritanium to increase the amount of Nitroballs that fly out. In SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 on PSP, the OC or RA mentioned above is also a relatively easy to get a useful gun. Although to get it you have to score kills, but you can just bang away in the first mission or custom missions with the lowest difficulty.

Plus, it also can be fitted with a silencer which the AK can't. An intrepid player can get a distressing amount of equipment within the first missions of the Crusader games; notably, can usually acquire the shotgun and rocket launcher in the first mission of each with relative ease, while finding secret areas later in the game can result in the character being fully-armed and armored by halfway through the game.

Gotcha Force has the Barrier Girl. She has a fairly quickly charging normal attack, a melee attack that drills opponents so it does several rapid hits, good for jugglingand a fairly quick charged shot that she can use if the situation warrants. All of that would make her decent if not spectacular, except for the "barrier" part of her name. Said barrier is a shield that will simply absorb a decent amount of damage, and can be redeployed.

Granted, it takes a while unless Power Burst is active for said barrier to recharge, but Barrier Girl is one of the more agile combatants - she's quick enough that she can strafe opponents without taking damage even without the shield. Even the wonky AI can abuse her ability to tank unless the player abuses the only early attacks that can chip the shield quickly drilling attacks It's possible to exploit the hospital prizes and the Dark Assembly's promotion exams to get very powerful equipment, a huge amount of money, and all your units above level 20 before so much as setting foot on the first non-tutorial map.

It's much easier to abuse the random dungeons in Phantom Bravemostly due to the entire fusion system. Getting to level takes only a couple hours if you know what you're doing with your weapons, and in fact in that time you can also create a weapon that will demolish everyone up to and including the final boss, as once you have about level 70 or 80 and a good beefed-up weapon, you can pop a 'bad' title on a level dungeon, stealing high mana items with your bottlemail, and supercharge that weapon to be totally invincible.

Just remember to stay away from those fraggin' weapon-stealing mushrooms! Or select a weapon whose final abilities have insanely large areas of effect to kill them all at once, like a bomb, egg, or vase.

RES weapons work the best as they can complement Marona's own gigantic RES stat which renders her nigh-invulnerable to damage. Also you gain much more experience for tilted-level kills, the only grinding necessary in the game is for facing down the final three EX bosses and building up the amount of attacks you can do.

Instead of SP your amount of attacks is tied to weapon experience level. In the PSP version of Disgaea 2, the game just gives you a level Pleinair at the start of a new game if you've downloaded the free DLC pack she comes in. You can then use Pleinair to easily beat level Sapphire also a free DLC download and have her join as well.

Presumably this could be done with paid DLC characters as well. Disgaea has yet another easily abusable method of game breaking. Go to the item world until you find one with an invincible geo panel. Level up Laharl's spear mastery to 25 — takes about an hour if you're lucky.

You can then get the second best spear in the game, Longinus.

Using the aformentioned lose-to-Mid-Boss trick, you can get it AGAIN, and sell it to make a TON of money. The second one has a more blatant example. It takes a little mindless, repetitive turn ending, but after a while they get all the way up to the max level ofstarting at about Because you can capture any monster that's at most x the level of your highest level character, this allows you to quickly build up to having a team of these level monsters within five hours of starting the game.

By comparison, the final boss of the main story is level The PSP version patched out this exploit in 2 ways. The first by not allowing you capture any monsters that you can't create, the second by not allowing you to capture anything whose level is higher than your highest levelled party member.

But wait, there's more. At the end of the third chapter, you are thrown into a Hopeless Boss Fight against an enemy who is on average one hundred times your current level, with the gear to show for it. Typically, you would now be resigning yourself to getting mercilessly ground into pixellated paste or trying to line up the odd Fastball Special maneuver to nab a few treasure chests. Now, the item to go for here is something called a Testament. It gives any character equipped with it a whopping points in every single stat, apart from health, which gets twice that bonus.

At a time when your average attack stat is roughly Add to that the fact that character equip multipliers add another ten percent at least on top of that, and you have yourself a character whose curent level is 12, but whose effective level i.

Just keep reloading, and sweet sweet overpoweredness is all yours. And then, coming off that honking stat jack, we have the Item World. Summarizing briefly, it is a completely randomly generated dungeon created entirely off an item, and is crucial to postgame power-leveling. Early on, it is mostly where you go to build up Felonies. But there's a twist: These are usually well above your current level, but your main character is now not only more than a match for them thanks to having endgame gear at the start of your adventurebut also has an ability which does a percentage damage boost as long as his level is below that of his opponent.

Proceed to demolish pirate booty with extreme prejudice, and appropriately massive experience points are all yours. Do it all right, and we have ourselves a level 25 character with nearing a thousand HP, easily attack, and one metric shedload of Mana to pour into creating better Player Mooks Mind you, considering that this is Disgaea we're talking about, this'll save you about 0.

This is due to the way the experience curve works. The next level EXP requirements increase very quickly up through level 99, but linearly at level and beyond. This transition creates a strange effect where levelling from 99 to takes more than double the EXP that 98 to 99 does, and to as well as odd levels after it takes even less EXP than 98 to The second part of the curve does not exceed the level 99 TNL experience until level It's possible to get a Bottle Mail a phantom that easily "steals" items it is confined into as soon as you start a new game and create enough characters to make a human pyramid so that Ash can reach the highest point on the map this also earns his first Changebook that allows for Phantom Brave's spin on the Reincarnation ability that resets a character level to 1 with stat bonuses equal to the number of levels he gained before.

It takes only a little bit of grinding after that to start exploiting random dungeons to farm items, mana, money, and titles. Then there's the trolley — an improbable weapon that boosts Speed and uses Speed to determine the strength of its attacks.

Since Speed also determines how often you get to gograbbing a high-level trolley through "failure dungeon" grinding breaks the game in half and lets you clear all the main story stages without the enemies getting a single turn.

One map in the second chapter contains two enemies who will constantly level up on each turn. However, although their stats - including defense and maximum hitpoints - increase, they only retain the fifty or so hitpoints they start with. Also, the Titlist class has a special skill, "Big Bang", which causes damage to everyone around them when you confine them, and it ignores defensedoing damage proportional to the character's level.

In other words, as long as you have two Titlists or fuse Big Bang to another character of enough level, you can just start the level, wait until those two enemies reach levelthen take them out with Big Bang. Instant massive level up, and absurd amounts of money.

Fill up your favorite characters with bonus points by repeatedly confining them to starred items and killing them by wishing for huts. Reincarnate into classes with stat-boosting skills so those bonus points boost everything. Grind map by taking out the "invincible" level superfortress with your overpowered character. Congrats, you've made the main game a cakewalk. And you're in a good position to start preparing for the postgame. The Sacred Stones there is a colosseum in the fifth stage.

If you have Seth with you when you enter the stage have him go there. Its risky, as the opponents range from weak to insanely powerful, but played right you can grind the Crutch Character up to a ridiculous degree and reap a whole lot of cash in one go.

Joshua of The Sacred Stones can also be leveled up in the arena fairly easily. However, the usefulness of this is tempered by the fact that you have no class-changing items at this time and won't be getting a Hero Crest until Chapter 9. Of course, you're about to get a Guiding Ring, and sending Seth and Joshua into the arena so many times is bound to provide plenty of healing opportunities As in, the class that absolutely destroys all of the monster enemies.

This is totally broken. You can pull the exact same stunt in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Bladebut thanks to a Good Bad Bug involving Ninian, you can also have your character possess a godly defense boost virtually assuring they will never actually die in the arena. By only taking bets in the gold area Anything less is practically a waste of a turn, and anything more is pretty dangerous you can easily level every single character to 20 Even healers if you care enough to spend all your time on it Not only that, but you'll end up with far more money than you put in, especially considering that using the arenas doesn't use up weaponry and equips you with their weaponry.

The only exception being axe users, which are vastly unreliable against swords The arenas almost always pit you against the type you're good at and it's essentially Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors with swords and lances, and quite literally with magic, with the loser not being as likely to hit.

Not only that but it's a recurring situation; there's arenas in levels 16x and 23 in FE75 and 12 in FE8etc. The "split story" nature of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War makes for an interesting one. The second half of the game begins at Chapter 6 featuring the children of the characters from the first half, and their equipment will be determined by what their same-gender parent had in their inventory at the end of Chapter 5 except for Briggid's kids, who inherit from their opposite-gender parent instead.

If Lewyn's son is a magic-user like his father, he'll inherit the ultimate wind magic, Forseti, as long as Lewyn received it near the end of Chapter 4. Tailto's son Arthur is a mage who arrives in Chapter 6so if she was paired with Lewyn On another note, Shanan gets the Balmung almost as soon as he joins up at the start of Chapter 7 and will be able to dodge pretty much everything due to the massive speed boost it grants, making him your premiere boss-killer until other legendary weapons are obtained.

Finn starts off with a Brave Lance, a powerful weapon that allows him to attack twice in one turn, and joins in the first chapter. He can easily crush the beginning parts of the game using said Brave Lance.

The nature of the upgrade system in Super Robot Wars games means any unit can become a Disc One Nuke with enough investment of early funds, as most games reward investing extensively in the player's favorite characters rather than spreading funds around between many units.

That said, nearly every game has at least one early unit that's a cut above the rest or provides a higher return on early investment than normal: The Original Generation character created for the game is usually somewhere in the top ten units, available from the start of the game, and the only character guaranteed to be with you regardless of story routes, but Granteed and Ialdabaoth are noteworthy standouts as units that can solo the entire game with ease due to simply being much more powerful than nearly anything else.

The Nadesico in J is also commonly considered a candidate due to its unusual strength for a battleship and the tendency for enemies to try and Zerg Rush it. Super Robot Wars Z gives the player one opportunity to upgrade Kei while he's still flying the Bronco II, before it becomes the titular Orguss.

Upgrading the Bronco II's weapons is considerably cheaper than doing so for the Orguss later. In the same game, three units the Gundam X DividerGundam Mark II and Impulse Gundam copy any money invested into them over to their successors, the Double X, Zeta, and Destiny Gundams, while still allowing you to keep the original units to give to new pilots.

Spending early cash on these units gives the player two powerful units for the price of one. Super Robot Wars W offers a truly outrageous degree of upgrade carryover, with one unit potentially mirroring its upgrades onto as many as five or even six other units. Just utilizing some, not even all, of the instances allows the player to have an army of nineteen units fully upgraded for the cost of four. Super Robot Wars L features early access to Kotetsushin Jeegwho comes by default with two Combination Attack moves that cost Ammo instead of energy while also being substantially more powerful than other moves available so soon.

Jeeg is also a plot-central character and thus gets a number of Mid-Season Upgrade events that make him even stronger, and because of the game's unusual pacing he gets these endgame abilities merely halfway through.

Gaiking is another early standout due to its plethora of Combination Attack moves with its supporting cast, and the powerful Flame skill that boosts its all-around performance as the pilot's level rises beyond what its stats suggest.

Again thanks to L having unusual pacing, you get the ability to combine it into the Lightning Bruiser Gaiking the Great halfway through the game. Super Robot Wars V presents the Yamato as an obvious contender for the trope, but it's actually the Crutch Characterand the story soon takes the ship away after the introductory stages with the whole next arc of the game being about retrieving it.

The actual Disc One Nuke is Might Gainethe first super robot the player gets that stays with the party once obtained. He's much more powerful than the horde of Gundams the player has had up until that point, comes with a number of advantages to incentivize his deployment, and using him enough in the early stages even rewards you later with Black Might Gainewho's like having a second copy of him. While there are two other super robots given to the player sooner than Might Gaine, the story takes them away at the same time as the Yamato and doesn't give them back until much, much later.

Age of Wonders IIcourtesy of the Design-It-Yourself Equipment system. The system itself prevents most Game Breaker items from being made. However, in a campaign game you can bring equipment and heroes across scenarios. Lingering on the first level to build superior equipment for later scenarios shatters any difficulty, as your heroes can handle any enemy troops, allowing you to leave the entire rest of your army on defense.

Nothing like giving your hero a sword with Double Strike, Extra Strike, and Life Stealing. The Crescent Hawk's Inception starts you off in a Chameleon training Battlemech. If you play out the story as intended, you're jumped by four Jenners and lose the 'mech, but escape with your life to begin seeking your revenge. Except that it's possible to simply run away as soon as the Jenners appear, letting you begin the game in a 50 ton Chameleon. Considering that the largest enemy 'mech you'll ever face in this game is onlyit makes you the biggest badass on the planet from the very start of the game!

In Mission 5 of Front Mission Driscoll and his very powerful and overleveled Wanzer are at the edge of the battlefield but won't attack unless you target him first. Normally attacking him is suicide, but by intentionally blowing off the limbs of a few Mooks rendering them unable to attack and positioning them so they're between you and Driscoll, you can Cherry Tap him to death with the Grenade weapon while he can't counterattack or escape.

It'll take a while but he gives 7xp for each turn and a whopping xp and dollars when you finally blow him up. This will, guaranteed, level up Lloyd to learn both Guide and Duel much earlier than intended which will turn him into an overpowered Crutch Character for quite a while. Enemy Unknownthe "Slingshot" DLC is this. You get to capture an alien battleship early in the game. It's a tough mission and there's no penalty for skipping it, but doing so will get you plenty of alien alloys and elerium to build weapons, enough alien computers to build your satellite control network, enough Alien Power sources to build the most powerful power plants, and two fusion cores that unlock research for the most powerful aircraft weapon which you won't be able to research due to high cost in alien weapon fragments and won't be able to install on your regular aircrafts as it only goes in the late game craft, but at least you won't have to hunt down a battleship when you'll want to make this researchas well as for a guided rocket launcher that never misses that once again has a high cost for research that you won't be able to afford for a while, but at least you won't have to hunt down a notoriously hard to shoot down battleship.

The rest of the Slingshot DLC also has powerful enemy spawning at predetermined places, allowing you to intercept them and take them alive for interrogation and to loot their weapons without triggering their Self-Destruct Mechanism. Dual Strike introduced the Skills mechanic. For every points you earn with a given CO they rank up and gain a new set of equippable skills as well as a new empty skill slot.

However, points earned in the non-canon War Room count as well, so with patience you can beef your preferred CO up before even starting the main game. It's no small wonder this mechanic was completely removed from Days of Ruin. In Jagged Alliance 2 right from the get-go you can hire the best mercs in the rooster armed with high-end weapons.

Sure, with your starting funds you can only afford a couple of days of their service, but that'll suffice. They'll curb stomp through the first several missions, and then you can strip them of all their fancy gear, hire some more affordable mercs and carry on with a substantial edge.

With the right strategy in Minecraftit's possible to obtain a few diamonds within minutes of spawning. That'ssss a nice diamond sword you got there Thanks to the open-ended gameplay structure of the Grand Theft Auto games, you can complete many sidequests, and in doing so, acquire extremely high-powered weapons and accumulate hundreds of thousands of dollars - all before even accessing the game's opening tutorial missions.

Out of all the deliciously abusable sub-missions in San Andreasone of the easiest ways to gather funds early-on is un surprisingly the the oldest profession in the book. Provided you can find the right type of car for the Pimping submissions and have lots of time to burn, you can gather completely ridiculous amounts of money early on. Or, if you have something else to do, in San Andreas you can go to a strip club near your starting location, and stand on the stage, where patrons will throw money.

As long as you don't touch the stripper, you can stand there, collecting money albeit at the slow rate of like dollars a minute.

This adds up after a day or so of leaving the game on, however You can also simply save the game, go to the horse track, bet everything on the long odds, reload if you loose, save if you win, and rinse and repeat until you're filthy stinking rich. If you get a wanted level killing them, just save back at CJ's crib to erase that.

Similarly, the drug-trading mini-game in Chinatown Wars can effectively render the in-game economy meaningless after a good hour or so of savvy trading. If you are pretty good at losing wanted ratings you can go to the UN building in GTA4 and kill the guards to aquire their M4s long before they are made available in the game. Also works with getting the last available weapon, the Combat Pistol - attack a gun dealer and take it.

Or if you'd rather play it safe, the Combat Pistol and M4 as well as all other weapons with the exception of the Rocket Launcher can be picked up at various locations even on the first open islands.

In Grand Theft Auto V: You can recruit Packie McReary as a crew member almost immediately after you start the game. He's a rather skilled gunman and takes a lower cut than other gunmen of his skill level, meaning that once you find him, your firepower throughout heists will be pretty well covered throughout the rest of the game without tearing into your profits.

The RPG in GTA Online doesn't unlock until leveland most of the game's other long-range explosives have similarly high level restrictions. However, the homing launcher is a DLC weapon, and as such doesn't have a level restriction.

And before they're even allowed assault rifles, to boot. The armored Kuruma car in GTA Online is a defensive form of this trope. Unlocked during the very first heist mission string, it features armor plated body panels and windows that offer near-total protection from bullets, making nearly every mission vastly easier to complete because players can simply turtle inside the vehicle while shooting out of its window slits.

The World is Yours let you play as your henchmen for quick cash once you got the ability to unlock them. What made them easily abused was taking their preset weapons and stuffing them in Tony's car, adding it to his collection. One of the henchmen starts out with a grenade launcher! Do this enough times and Tony will pretty much have all the ammo he needs with very little effort.

Crackdown has two major Disc First off, buying the DLC gives your character some ridiculously powerful weapons accessible at any time - including your first loadout screen. However, you can also get the most powerful weapons in the game by driving to the third island first and killing basic street thugs that have them - once you reach a Supply Point with them in hand, they're yours for the rest of the now significantly easier game.

In The Godfather game, the aversion of Broken Bridge means you can, if you so desire, grind your way to high levels and the cash needed to upgrade your weapons through various means as soon as you can start free-roaming.

Saints Row features three hitman missions, each requiring the player to kill eight different targets. Upon completion of each mission, the player receives one of three "signature weapons", which are enhanced versions of regular handguns, SMGs, and shotguns the player can buy: Additionally, the player doesn't have to keep scavenging killed enemies for ammo or spend literally tens of thousands of hard-earned dollars at weapon shops, but can instead refill all the ammo for all signature weapons for free at his hideout.

What makes these guns Disc One Nukes is the fact that all three hitman missions become available after the first four story missions, which are all rather easy since they're just tutorials.

And despite the fact that the hitman missions are veritable cases of Guide Dang It and Fake Difficulty because some targets are incredibly hard to find, they can all be completed before doing any more story missions or other side activities.

Saints Row 2 has two possible Disc One Nukes. As soon as you get your first crib it's possible to store any ground vehicle at it and be able to retrieve it whenever you want even if it's destroyed.

It's easy to get a high wanted level and steal an APC with a machine gun mounted on it then use it for the rest of the game. The second Disc One Nuke can be gotten as soon as you have your hideout. The hideout has a helipad on it and through a combination of skill, luck, and persistence it's possible to jump out of your own helicopter and parachute onto a SWAT attack helicopter that comes for you when you're at the highest wanted level. If done properly you can enter the SWAT attack helicopter and store it at your helipad where it can be retrieved later.

Once you gain a garage, and access back to the National Guard Depot, you can enter the depot, and hang around until you gain enough wanted stars to spawn tanks, then you can steal the tank and take it to a garage. You also have the option of using your own vehicle on some of the side missions, which means you can do drug runs in tanks, operating the mounted machine gun or laser gun, at later tanks while the dealer drives around the city in the tank.

Likewise, once you gain access to a HQ with a helipad, you can raid the National Guard depot again for armed helicopters. Some of the DLC for The Third gives you a Saints-themed STAG quality laser-armed tank and armored car from the beginning, as well as guns like the Professor Genki mind-controlling cuddly octopus gun and the sewer-shark summoning shotgun.

These make the early game near trivial, even on the highest difficulty. Saints Row IV lets you get a semi-auto shotgun shortly after dropping into the Steelport simulation, then when you return after "The Real World" you can play Keith David's sidequests for a Destructor tank, two versions of the Void UFO, and the Dubstep Gun, all within about hours of starting.

This can lead to low-level, just-starting characters riding around Calradia on an old nag of a horse dressed in shabby commoner's clothing, but carrying a powerful high-quality sword plucked from the corpse of some bandit.

How to Set Unlimited Cash in Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour

Terraria has loads of them. Depending on world size, you could find iron, silver, maybe even gold as soon as you spawn. There's also a small amount of demonite that can be found throughout the world. Another way to nuke is to join any multiplayer server. One other way to nuke is to head to the dungeon. You usually have to drop down a few feet before you're really in trouble, so stay up in the lobby.

You might find anything between a water candle which are commona water bolt a pretty cool spellor even a chest with dungeon loot.

If you create one prior to Hardmode which is easy, if rather time consuminghe'll show up almost immediately. If you have enough gold, you can buy the Mushroom Spear right away, which outclasses pretty much every weapon you'll be making for a while.

It has just as much pickaxe power as the Molten Pickaxe, meaning it can mine the first-tier hardmode ores. You can get it as soon as you have a fishing rod, just go to the ocean. You also need bait, which you start catching after buying the Bug Net from the Merchant for one gold.

Meteorite Armor is a mid-game level armor, but you can get it as soon as the Demolitionist moves in, if you're willing to take a bit of risk. First, buy some Dynamite from him. Then go to The Corruption preferably between midnight and 4: Smash it and pick up the Musket and ammo it drops, you'll need it to kill the Meteor Heads that swarm around the Meteor that crash-landed as soon as the Orb was smashed. Travel back to your base and wait until daytime, buying more Dynamite as needed ten is more than enough.

Search for the crash site it's a metallic brown crater and toss a single stick of Dynamite in. The explosion will loosen up a good portion of it. Jump in, grab it, and climb out before the burning effect of the Meteor kills you. Snipe any incoming Meteor Heads with the Musket, it should only take one shot each. Heal with potions as necessary, and don't throw in Dynamite if there is loose Meteorite lying around, as it will be destroyed in the explosion. The Meteor Armor allows you to pretty much skip over the Iron, Silver, and Gold Armor, letting you save those metals to craft something else.

Even better, the Space Gun which can be crafted from the same material as the Meteor Armor is a fast-firing laser pistol that gains infinite ammo if you wear all three pieces of the Meteor Armor set!

If you get the Zombie Genocide achievement early, the game rewards you with the Mega Buster. It's insanely powerful, capable of downing most psychopaths in shots. On top of that, it has a massive clip shots and if you use it up, it respawns.

It is very tempting to just plow through the entire game with the Mega Buster alone. More famously is the mini-chainsaw, a one-handed juggling chainsaw. Two of them can be obtained by killing Adam early on though the fight can be difficult, it's easily beatable by a low level character if the player is savvy and prepared beforehandand it respawns at his death zone afterward. When you unlock the passage between the plaza where the chainsaw spawns and the opening area linked directly to your safehouse, you can pick one up any time you want.

Not that you'll need to do that often: Couple that with high attack power and speed and capable of being stored in the inventory whereas the full size chainsaw is too bigand you've now broken the game. Zoo Tycoon 2 and its Extinct Animals expansion gives one the ability to create animals from fossils.

While it costs and requires you to find the fossils first, what you end up with is the potential for unlimited, free animals who start off young, and thus live longer than purchased animals. In Challenge Mode, this can be a handy little trick Project Zomboid has zombies that are quite tough in a fight, and the smarter tactic is to avoid them rather than fight them; however, from the very first house the player spawns in, they can potentially find numerous Kitchen Knives, which turn the player from a terrified survivor into a full-on Knife Nut.

Kitchen Knives break easily, but are very common, are the only melee weapon that reliably one-hit-kills zombies, and to top it all off, the one-hit-kill special attack it almost always performs leaves you immune to individual zombie damage for several seconds. There's also a chance to find the Fire Axeone of the rarest and strongest weapons in the game, on any zombie corpse, meaning the player can potentially find one within minutes of beginning the game.

It's highly durable, can frequently insta-kill zombies, and can chop down any door in the game with ease.
