A game mechanic, usually a disliked one, by which a game's pickups, powerups, and sometimes even mission-critical objects can be destroyed entirely by accident. This can include damage by the players' attacks, damage from enemies' attacks, and, if the developer is especially evil, the game environment itself. Vehicles are not included in this trope unless they take an unreasonably low amount of firepower to destroy. Some games may even punish players who destroy certain items, on top of losing the items themselves. Related tropes are Breakable Weapons and Disadvantageous Disintegration. Compare Attackable Pickup. |

In Crash Bandicoot games, Wumpa Fruits and even extra lives can be spun away by Crash, or be blown away by explosives. In the "being chased" levels, the thing that chases you (boulders, giant polar bears, triceratops etc) can also do the same. N. Sane Trilogy even has an achievement for spinning away an extra life. | |

In Jagged Alliance 2, any item can be destroyed. Usually this occurs through explosions which damage a character, thus damaging the items he is carrying. Also, weapons become damaged (and can be potentially destroyed) by firing them repeatedly, and armor is damaged every time you get shot. Finally, wading or swimming through water will cause damage to most items you're carrying. Fortunately you can repair most items back to 100% condition. | |

The X-Universe series, starting with X2: The Threat uses this to avert Critical Existence Failure. Once your hull integrity goes below ~85%, weapons and upgrades start to get destroyed by enemy fire. The ion disruptor is often used to help capture ships by abusing this mechanic. It does the bare minimum of hull damage, increasing the length of time you have to cook off things like Hull Polarization Devices and Internal Sentry Lasers. |

Donkey Kong Country and its sequels had boss fights (or puzzles) that required the use of barrels. Wouldn't you know it, if anything minor touches those barrels, they explode into pieces, even though they're made of wood with metal bands. This is especially annoying in any boss fight where there's lots of stuff flying around on the screen and you need to use said barrels against the boss. | |

Knights in the Nightmare has objects in combat that, when sufficiently damaged, usually crack open to yield a Key Item that unlocks a new weapon or character later. If you damage them some more, they break completely, usually coughing up some Item Crafting material. | |

Desert Strike (and its sequels) leave all pickups subject to attack. This includes ammo, fuel drums, armor repair kits, mission-critical objects, and the people you need to save. To add to the fun frustration, your helicopter's auto targeting loves aiming at pickups and friendlies instead of enemy tanks and anti-aircraft units. Some particularly glaring examples include: Some missions in Urban Strike require you to carry an object under your helicopter. What you're supposed to do is hover over a specific spot so it slowly lowers, which isn't quite stated clearly. Problem is, they also give you a button to simply drop the item, destroying it outright (which of course fails the mission). Jungle Strike has you use land vehicles for some missions. Since you can't fly over things to pick them up, you grab things by very slowly running into them. But if you go any faster than 1 mph, you'll most likely just destroy it as well as take damage for running into something. |

The Catacomb Fantasy Trilogy series. You can make powerups (zappers, x-terminators and cure potions) explode by shooting your magic missiles at them, though scrolls, keys and radar gems are immune. This matters little because there's an unreasonable abundance of these items. | |

In the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons if a creature rolls a 1 on a reflex saving throw from a spell, the spell also affects a randomly-determined item it's carrying, potentially destroying it. Extended into the arcade games made by Capcom, but since it's a beat'em-up, it means that whenever you get hit, there's a chance that any of the magic items you're carrying might break. Most likely intentional, as many of them have effects that would trivialize the game even more if you could hold on to them all the way to the end. Attacks can destroy some disposable items in Dungeons & Dragons Online. It's particularly irritating when it happens to expensive ammunition or potions. |

The original Valkyrie Profile allowed you to pick up chests and item bags and at times required you to do so to use them and your ice crystal creation powers to build stairways to reach even better treasure. Unfortunately, due to the way the controls are mapped, it's easy to pick up an unopened treasure chest by accident when trying to open it and then panic, press the wrong button and have Lenneth gleefully toss it and the Infinity +1 Sword it contains into a wall, shattering both into a million pieces. Which ultimately doesn't make much sense, as vast majority of the items you obtain are explicitly stated to be coated in Ether and thus made unbreakable. | |

Far Cry 2 has ammo and explosive stockpiles that are amazingly valuable when raiding camps and bases, as most enemy weapons are rusted to the point of near-uselessness and they won't necessarily have something you can take ammo from. Explosive stockpiles, obviously, go up in a massive fireball that will probably burn everything nearby and create a spreading fire, while ammo stockpiles fire a hail of bullets in every direction for about 5 seconds or so. While this is often a tactically sound method of eliminating enemies or distracting them, it can result in a massive Oh, Crap! for players running low on ammo and grenades. | |

GoldenEye (1997) had the Caverns, a level where Bond had to gain access to a complex and for some reason explosive communications system surrounded by guards. If you went in shooting, the guards would usually line themselves up behind the computers before returning fire, blowing the system to hell. As it was very difficult to stealth your way to that point, you had to be able to take out the guards without damaging the equipment right next to them and before they destroyed it themselves. | |

In The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, all the Fetch Quest items are destructible.

In the Ultima Underworld games, dropping almost any item in water causes it to be lost forever. This generally doesn't matter, although it's liable to happen in one level which requires you to grab an essential quest item while skidding across ice towards a river. | |

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, blasts from traps, the Aftermath ability, and the Selfdestruct and Explosion moves will destroy any items caught in their radius. There's also Pokemon traps, which inexplicably turn any items in a room into enemy Pokemon when triggered, and any items that land in a hole or lava will be lost for good, as well. The traps are by far the most aggravating cause of item loss, as it's all too easy to forget to check for them when you catch sight of something valuable. | |

Mushroom patches in Darkwood can be destroyed by flinging rocks at them or just running over them (which will poison you unless you have the Light Step perk or the Rubber Boots on the hotbar). Useful to get rid of the patches of small white mushrooms that are nothing but a hazard, but very detrimental if you accidentally destroy a harvestable red patch – no Odd-Looking Mushrooms for you. | |

Some bosses in the game have even stronger abilities that do this. In Final Fantasy Tactics A2, some enemies gain abilities that break armour/weapons at a certain late-game part unless you have a special ability equipped... the main problem with that being there so much better Passive abilities to use over Safeguard. |

The 2D Duke Nukem games have soda cans which can serve as a health pickup, but can also be shot. Combined with Attackable Pickup, in that if you grab it on the way up, you get a decent score bonus, but no health. Fail to collect it and it's lost. Duke Nukem II has a six-pack of soda that provides a straight example of the trope in that it's completely lost if you shoot it and there's no way to collect any of the parts. | |

King's Quest: In King's Quest I, one of the random monsters is a dwarf, which will steal one of your treasures if it touches you. Since there is no way to get it back, the treasure is effectively destroyed. Since the goal of the game is to collect treasures... In King's Quest IV, if you use the shovel a certain number of times in the wrong place, it breaks, and if you haven't used it for what you needed to do yet, you're screwed. |

In Worms, boxes can be destroyed with explosive and fiery results. This can work for or against you, depending on who's nearby. | |

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg uses this sometimes in the form of special-purpose eggs that must be negotiated to a goal. Especially annoying because giant eggs are also used to combat enemies, essentially binding your ability to fight back by nullifying your only weapon. | |

And in the Gauntlet Legends series, anything could be blown up, including food. Food could also be poisoned if a green barrel was blown up near it. | |

Ultima: In the Ultima Underworld games, dropping almost any item in water causes it to be lost forever. This generally doesn't matter, although it's liable to happen in one level which requires you to grab an essential quest item while skidding across ice towards a river. Happens to anything dropped in the water in Ultima VIII, leading to inevitable shenanigans. |

Doom: Zombie enemies usually drop ammo and weapons when they die, but these dropped items get destroyed if crushed by a Descending Ceiling. All other items are immune to this, though, including ammo and weapons placed on the map by the level designer. Certain source ports do away with this. | |

The XCOM series plays this trope pretty heavily, along with destroyable terrain. Items even have different amounts of 'hit points' and a few are explosive in their own right. Most frustratingly, the enemy UFOs are packed with valuable equipment to salvage and research, all of which is ridiculously delicate/explosive. | |

The The Lost World: Jurassic Park game for the Sega Genesis is particularly evil with this trope. After collecting a certain number of tokens, you can call for an air support drop. The crate you get usually contains ammo, health, armor, and sometimes even an extra life. However, be careful busting this crate open; if the ammo inside is anything explosive, the entire contents of the crate will go up in a large explosion, likely blowing up the player as well. | |

Some RPGs will drop a random treasure chest (or equivalent thereof) into the middle of an enemy party during a random encounter. Finishing the fight without damaging the chest nets you its contents, but the chest can be destroyed if you're not careful. An example of this: the later Mega Man Battle Network games, where random Mystery Data can appear during a virus battle. | |

In Unreal Tournament, the Volatile Ammo mutator makes ammunition packs destroyable (which will cause them to fire five to ten rounds in random directions). Since the ammo will respawn after some time, it's actually a valid tactic to use them as Exploding Barrels by sniping the boxes when an opposing player gets near them. Thankfully (or not), the Redeemer doesn't have any ammo drops aside from the weapon pickup, or else it would just get silly. | |
