megaweapon

Massive destructive device

A megaweapon is a weapon of massive scale or destructive power—nuclear warheads, orbital bombardment systems, or fantastical devices capable of annihilating cities or planets.

The term appears most often in science fiction, video games, and military speculation: The villain threatened to deploy the megaweapon.

In gaming contexts, it may simply mean an exceptionally powerful armament.
