The Soviet Union developed the first superweapons during the conflict, Atomic bombs.

But the next war would develop more fantastic and devastating superweapons. The other tended to be a support weapon: relatively ineffective at directly causing damage and required more tactical use but highly potent when used correctly.ĭuring the First World War, the development of poison gases allowed for mass destruction limited to human life. The first was an purely offensive weapon intended simply to cause huge damage and were usually targetted at enemy bases to maximise effectiveness. Typically, factions had two superweapons.

The concept of a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" has been around for quite some time however, only in the twentieth century did military technology progress to the point that weapons capable of instantly killing large groups of enemy personnel with little risk to the wielder were developed.
