How to Get All Weapons in Doom The Dark Ages

Image via: Bethesda Weapons are not just about brute force in Doom: The Dark Ages. The Doom Slayer is a raving manifestation and thus a strategic arsenal in motion. Survival is hence about mastering any weapon the game throws at you, rather than fist-smashing skulls or shield-crushing bones. And there are plenty of them. Unlocking new weapons in every chapter, here's all of them that can be acquired, and the uses for them. The Arsenal Begins: Weapons by Chapter Weapons in Doom: The Dark Ages are not given away like candy; they are earned with story progression, dropped from pods, or unlocked through environment-based puzzles. Here is a rundown of how weapons enter your hands: The first chapter opens spectacularly and dishes three must-have weapons: Combat Shotgun, Power Gauntlet, and Shredder. They establish a sort of "mid-range fury and ammo recovery" sort of feeling. It is between Chapters 2 and 6 that your core playstyle in the Shield Saw, Accelerator, Cycler, and Super Shotgun is put to test-and traditionally help flip armored demons and shielded threats. Really deadly action starts from Chapter 8 onward when the weightier powers of heavy grenades, rockets, and crushing skulls of Ravager get loaded in your toolkit. Major late-game power spikes go to weapons from Atlan (Chapters 3 and 11), the Ballistic Force Crossbow (Chapter 14), and Dreadmace (Chapter 15). Doom: The Dark Ages - BEST Weapon Upgrades to Get First Choosing the Right Weapon for the Right Demon Localization of different weapons into different contributors means exploiting enemy weaknesses. Close-quarters brawlers: Time hits carefully when the Flail and the Power Gauntlet are face-to-face with demons, because their melee stacks recharge quite slowly. It can get you through the groups easily. Shield breakers: Accelerators and Cyclers overheat and wreck the shields so that their defenders cannot shield throw or heavy round. Crowd control: When the arenas fill with smaller enemies, the Pulverizer and ironically the Grenade Launcher dominate more. So this is when area-of-effect weapons really stand out. Precision kills: The Impaler and Ballistic Force Crossbow are your sniper kits. They should be used after stunning the enemies or clearing the field for breathing room. Mastering the Mecha: Atlan's Limited-Time Arsenal These interludes result in a drastic shift in gameplay, with primary emphases on timing and positioning. Perform dodges to charge Atlan's Machine Gun or Shotgun. These are non-customizable but give raw moments of giant-on-demon combat that feels satisfying and cinematic. DOOM : The Dark Ages - All Weapons Showcase Late-Game and Legendary Tools Ravager : Think Pulverizer, but focused. Good against elites. Ballistic Force Crossbow: Short ammo but devastating — keen on one shot against a boss. Hunt for hidden arrows and plan their use Dreadmace : The final melee unlock, the Dreadmace is a giant one-shot AoE monster. It has no combos but the big splash damage and style do make up for it. It's always tempting to get into a single wielding weapon, but mastery in Doom: The Dark Ages is in adaptability. Change your weapons often, read enemy types, and choose strategically rather than savagely. Your weapons are varied for a reason: every gun and every swing has the demon it is supposed to kill.
