If it’s worth firing once, it’s worth firing twice! One of the new weapons in DOOM Eternal, the Ballista functions in a similar manner to the Gauss Cannon from the previous DOOM, albeit in a lighter and more compact package of carnage. Nothing says up close and personal like the Super Shotgun, and now that it has a meat hook upgrade, one thing is for certain: There is no escape from its twin barrels of death. The new Meat Hook attachment means that you’ll be swinging between demons like a homicidal Spider-Man with an unending rage, ending lives and taking names. In an age of plasma rifles and hell energy vomiting sniper rifles, the super shotgun is direct and to the point: Get close to your target, squeeze the trigger and hope that you’ve got enough washing powder to wipe all the demon blood off of your armour.Īs classic as can be, this version of the Super Shotgun is built to close gaps. And nothing says classic more than the good ol’ super shotgun. Sure the Combat shotgun may be a useful beginner’s guide to rearranged demon faces, but you just cannot beat the classics. You’ll still be using it to throw grenades at demons, albeit this time with the Quick Rack, Bigger boom and Five-shot enhancements that allow you to send an entire party of explosives right into the gaping maw of a demon.Īlternatively, you can focus your upgrade points into Full Auto mod, which as its name suggests, turns your trusty combat shotgun into a buckshot Gatling gun of mass destruction at whatever it happens to be pointed at. In DOOM Eternal, not too much has changed. The perfect weapon for the fresh out of the furnace Doomslayer, the shotgun could be enhanced to deliver explosive shells and quick blasts of rapid-fire action. In 2016’s DOOM, it was a handy tool of destruction. Here are the explosive fruits of my research. While DOOM Eternal has more than just guns that players can wield, such as a fantastic wrist-mounted sword or a shoulder cannon that is giving me full Predator vibes, it’s the tried and trusted guns that make the game feel so good as you’re playing with firepower, unleashing everything from classic lead to far-out future tech that’ll slaughter anything in your way.Īhead of its release, I decided to take a quick look at how the weapon inventory has evolved in DOOM Eternal, how its mods change the game and make for a more a brutally satisfying experience. How do you make guns cool again, in a genre that has a million of them to play with? What’s the winning recipe, what’s the secret to success? Here’s my theory: You copy what DOOM Eternal is doing, because that game has somehow transformed an arsenal of weapons into the most sought-after toolkit with which to wipe a demon scourge out of existence.
