Diablo 4's strongest weapon isn't a weapon at all: It's a deadly potion capable of dealing billions of damage

Diablo 4 season 4 screenshots.

Technically, Diablo 4's latest season doesn't have a unique power like season 2's vampiric abilities or season 3's robot spider pet. Instead, there are a couple seasonal elixirs that speed up the leveling process so that you can get your hands on the new crafting systems. But players who are pushing into the highest levels of The Pit, a new extremely challenging dungeon type, have discovered that one of those seasonal elixirs might be the strongest seasonal "power" the game has ever had.

The Elixir of Holy Bolts sends spears of light out from the corpse of a recently slain enemy and those spears are dealing billions of damage due to what seems like a bug. The math under the hood is still unknown, but its damage appears to scale way higher than it should. Minions, for example, mirror the stats from the necromancer controlling them, but when they kill an enemy the bolts deal double the amount of damage you'd expect.
