10 Video Game "Upgrades" You Immediately Regretted

preview

Perks and buffs are an essential part of most games out there. They're your first and most important method of making your character stronger and ready to take on more daring challenges.Picking the right buffs can be tricky. Not just because of the wide selection of upgrades you get to choose from, but also because, in some cases, the powerups can actually make you weaker!Yep, despite what the name might suggest, some video game buffs don't actually make your character more buff. Due to glitches, poor design, or even the deliberate choice of a nefarious developer, they hinder your character's abilities and make your life significantly harder.The worst part is that these buffs will usually look tempting, so you won't be able to tell that they're different from the rest until you pick them up and experience their debilitating powers on your own skin.If you want to avoid this fate, be sure to watch out for the following buffs. They might look interesting, but in reality, they're just traps that waste your time and effort.
	
	
		Fallout 4 boasts an impressive collection of perks and abilities that help your Sole Survivor thrive in the harsh postapocalyptic environment of the Commonwealth.Most perks in the game can make a genuine difference in your play style, adding powerful modifiers and extra functionality. This said, one peculiar perk is different in that it does make a great change in your game, but for the worse!"Night Person" is a perk that, as the name suggests, makes your character fight more efficiently at night. The first level of the perk is actually fairly useful, increasing your intelligence and perception while the sun is down, but the second level can permanently ruin your game.On the second level, Night Person gives you night vision when sneaking, which sounds great at first glance, but you realize it's awful as soon as you use a rifle with a night vision scope.The combined brightness of your doubled night vision is so blinding that it renders all night-scope rifles useless. And while you can replace night scopes with regular ones, the former can come with additional functionality like marking your targets, ironically making your night-attuned character less functional in darkness!Becoming Count Dracula had never sounded more lame!
