* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorUnderground'': Around the game's halfway mark, Manon acquires an [=StG44=], a precursor to modern assault rifles. Compared to the earlier Sten and MP-40 submachine guns, it is larger, chunkier, packs punch like a rifle and fires as fast (if not faster) than both. It is PurposefullyOverpowered because after this point Manon is no longer going to be facing Milice and Afrika Corps goons, but [[EliteMooks far more dangerous and well-trained Waffen SS and German mountaineer troops armed with these weapons]] -- and while there's plenty of them, there is only one of Manon. In other words, you need this weapon to proceed.

** In addition to the trope namer, ''VideoGame/Doom64'' (the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 port/remake) adds the Unmaker, which can be evolved from a piddly blaster to a triple-shot rapid-fire death-dealing laser cannon that will make short work of most enemies.

* The Assault Cannon from ''Franchise/StarWars'' videogame ''VideoGame/DarkForces'' really puts the B in BFG. A plasma cannon [[AlternateFire with an attached missile launcher]], it was designed to be wielded by the nearly 3 metre-tall [[RobotSoldier Dark troopers]]. It's a wonder [[PlayerCharacter Kyle]] can aim it, let alone fire it.

Added DiffLines:

** The Autocannon and Heavy Cannon are lower-tech than the Blaster Launcher, but no less comically oversized. The Autocannon is a [[GatlingGood multi-barrel rotary cannon]] so heavy that it cannot be shouldered and requires the user to [[ChainsawGripBFG aim it via a top-mounted handle]]. The Heavy Cannon does away with the rotating barrels and instead replaces them with a ''100-millimeter man-portable howitzer'', firing such comically huge, heavy shells that you'll lucky to get more than one shot out of it per turn. In exchange, both of these guns will kill most aliens stone-dead on the first direct hit (or near-miss if you land a big enough high-explosive shell), or blow holes in the environment big enough to drive a tank-drone through.

* ''Videogame/{{DRL}}'', unsurprisingly, features the good ol' [=BFG9000=] as well - but it doesn't end there, upping the ante with VideoGame/QuakeII's [=BFG10K=], a nuclear (self-recharging) [=BFG9000=], the [=VBFG9000=] and finally tops it up with the ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin biggest f***ing gun]]''.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series:
** Features a slew of [=BFGs=], even getting their own skill set for use. They range from the mundane Bazooka to laser Gatling guns and plasma rifles. The third instalment has the "Fat Man", described as a tactical (read handheld) nuclear catapult. Since ThereIsNoKillLikeOverKill, there is a unique Fat Man (the '''Experimental MIRV''') that fires ''eight'' mini nukes at once. Can kill anything with one shot, but the 8 mini nukes have a combined cost of over 2000 caps.

** In ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' the BFG returns, and is [[OneHitPolykill now so powerful it might as well be called the 'Big Fuck-Off Gun', since it will make every demon in the general direction of the blast to "fuck off from existence".]] [[spoiler:Also, it is used to finish off the final boss]]. It also has most of the regular guns be pretty big boys too. For example, the Heavy Assault Rifle fires .50 BMG rounds, which are usually used in heavy machine guns, and the [[MagneticWeapons Gauss Cannon]] is the size of another person, and comes in SniperRifle and PlasmaCannon flavours.

* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY3'' has the HET-5 Red Fox, an [[LimitBreak Overkill Weapon]] based off the real-life GM6 Lynx. Whilst ammo is limited, it is capable of piercing through walls and {{Shield|BearingMook}}s, and will kill anything short of a [[MightyGlacier Bulldozer]] in a single hit.

* ''VideoGame/GhostRecon'' gives Scott Ibrahim a Barrett M82 .50 caliber sniper rifle, a rifle used mostly for disabling light vehicles. Almost every demolitions category character can carry the M136 anti-tank rocket launcher.

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' has a [[http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/C-14_rifle gauss rifle]] designed to be fired while wearing PowerArmor. Ghosts are armed with [[http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/C-10_rifle C-10 Canister Rifles]], which are basically ''sniper'' shotguns almost as long as they are tall. And no, they don't wear PowerArmor at all.
** And then there's Marauders, assuming you count "dual [[ArmCannon integral]] {{grenade launcher}}s" as "gun".
