Line 75:
* In ''[[Land of the Dead]]: Road To Fiddler's Green'', the kung-fu fists are so powerful(& fast firing) they are also a [[Game Breaker]]. After finding them {{spoiler|in a closet in your murdered neighbor's house}}, the game becomes a breeze, even with mods that add several thousand zombies, or turn your character into a [[One Hit Point Wonder]]. After getting the kung-fu fists, the only difficult mission is "Heavy Gunner", because you are given a minigun and must use it instead of the kung-fu fists.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has the carrot on a stick. [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|It's a carrot on a stick]]. You get it for defeating a three-headed hydra in a giant ruined troll city that takes at least 45 minutes (back in the days, that was already an incredibly short time for a dungeon) to finish if you're going for the hydra part ASAP. That's right, you go into an ancient troll city to defeat a mystical three-headed hydra and all you get is a carrot tied to a stick with a piece of string; no, it's not something the hydra drops, it's a reward from a NPC who wants the hydra dead. It increases your mount's movement speed by 3%, which seems measly, but being the only way to increase it at the time made it a powerful item for catching up with fleeing enemies, often deciding the outcome of a [[Pv P]] battle. In the current game, it's not effective for players above lvl 70, where faster mounts are available, which would make the item even more powerful.

* In ''[[Paladins Quest (Video Game)|Paladins Quest]]'', aka ''Lennus'', the Bib is one of the strongest body armors in the game.
* The several editions of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (Tabletop Game)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'' have had quite a few of these.
