by

Arena shooters are all about fast-paced, frantic combat, so naturally weapons play an important role in the game cycle. Gaining access to new weapons in a good arena shooter isn't just about discovering a shiny new way to fight your enemies, it's about discovering something that can dramatically change the flow of gameplay from moment to moment. If it is anything like its predecessors, Doom: The Dark Ages there are probably many weapons that do just that.

Announced back in June, Doom: The Dark Ages' reveal trailer has already confirmed several weapons for the medieval-themed spin-off. Along with the iconic Super Shotgun, Doom: The Dark Ages will give players a large iron shield that can be used as a boomerang, a plasma rifle, a wheel gun that can pin enemies to walls, and some kind of weapon that crushes skulls and shoots bone fragments as projectiles. It's already a strong arsenal, but there are a few classic ones Loss a weapon that would be nice to see Doom: The Dark Agesdark fantasy aesthetic.

Weapons That Should Return in Doom: The Dark Ages (And How They Can Be Remade to Fit a Medieval Aesthetic)

Gauss gun

Introduced in 2016 Loss reboot, the Gauss Cannon is an incredibly powerful plasma weapon that fires precise energy shots. When modded, the Gauss Cannon can also go into Siege mode. This mode forces players to stand still with the cannon while it charges, but it fires a much more powerful beam that can cut through multiple enemies.

For now Doom: The Dark Ages Seeming to already have an accurate Ballot Launcher with its cannon, a reworked version of the Gauss Cannon could still hold a prominent place in the game's arsenal, perhaps if it honed in on the punching abilities of the 2016 version.

Ballista

Introduced in Doom Eternal as a replacement for the Gauss Cannon, the Ballista is an obvious choice Doom: The Dark Agesat the same time already reminiscent of medieval weapons, and historical ties are connected with it Lossancient guardian warriors. Doom: The Dark Ages it wouldn't take much to make Ballista fit the dark fantasy theme, it would just need to swap out its Argent Energy bolts for more conventional projectiles.

Rocket launcher

A staple of the franchise since the beginning Loss in 1993, some type of rocket launcher is required Doom: The Dark Ages. To match the aesthetics of the game, Doom: The Dark Ages can make his rocket launcher act more like a grenade launcher, being designed to resemble a handheld trebuchet or catapult that fires a projectile in an arc.

Soul cube

Introduced in Thought 3 and then never seen again, the Soul Cube is a unique weapon that absorbs the life force of defeated enemies to recharge. Once fully charged, the Soul Cube pulls out multiple blades and hovers in the air, latching onto the target, draining its energy and returning to the player to restore some health.

Although Thought 3Evidence indicates that the Soul Cube was an ancient Martian weapon and thus likely not present in Doom: The Dark Ages“prequel, Thought 3 not actually considered canon at the moment, so Dark Middle Ages is free to give the weapon its own spin.

The BFG

Probably the most iconic Loss weapon of all time, the BFG should be in Doom: The Dark Ages. While the BFG's high-tech design may not match Dark Middle Ages“Ancient aesthetics, the game can explain this by saying it's an earlier model of the weapon.
