Summary

  • DOOM: The Dark Ages features new weapons like the spike-launching Shredder and savage Skullcrusher.
  • Fans have discovered an unused weapon in DOOM: The Dark Ages, possibly related to the Chainshot.
  • Speculation suggests the unused weapon could play a role in future DLC set in the mysterious Cosmic Realm.

As a dedicated gamer diving into DOOM: The Dark Ages, I’ve been thrilled by the array of fresh, snappy weapons at my disposal. However, some intriguing discoveries have emerged among the player community – whispers of an enigmatic weapon, seemingly twin to the Chainshot, that was hidden away in this game. This mysterious gun, nestled within DOOM: The Dark Ages, isn’t the first obscure weapon unearthed in the legendary FPS franchise, and there are rumblings among fans that it might just make an appearance in future DLC for The Dark Ages.

In the game DOOM: The Dark Ages, the traditional weaponry that forms a significant part of DOOM’s character is expanded upon, offering fresh takes on old favorites while incorporating some new additions to the Slayer’s toolkit. Iconic weapons like the plasma gun and the Super Shotgun are once again at the ready, but there’s a twist: traditional weapon categories such as machine guns have been given a modernized touch.

In this updated version of DOOM, players can grasp the Shredder, their first fully-automatic weapon that fires spikes, and later on, they can seize the Skullcrusher, which spews shards of demon bone over a wide area at an impressive rate of fire. Additionally, DOOM: The Dark Ages offers a selection of potent melee weapons for close combat, such as the flail and the fearsome Dreadmace.

In the game DOOM: The Dark Ages, unlike other DOOM titles where each weapon has two interchangeable modifications, the Reaver Chainshot seems unique as it only appears to have one gun. Although there’s no confirmed second Reaver weapon class within the game at the moment, some fans speculate that an unused weapon found through console commands could have been its counterpart. This unseen weapon was recently displayed in a video shared by Naive_Lab_5189 online, showcasing its fully automatic function. While players initially need to use mods to access DOOM: The Dark Ages’ console commands for full functionality, the “give all” command allows them to test the weapon out personally.

This Unused DOOM: The Dark Ages Weapon Could Be A Taste Of What’s To Come

With what appears to be an unfinished model and animation set, this weapon bears a striking resemblance to the Chainshot, as both use metal spheres for ammunition. Furthermore, its design and appearance suggest it might hail from the Cosmic Realm, the strange, eldritch dimension first introduced in DOOM: The Dark Ages. Some enthusiasts believe that this unused gun could potentially be a test feature destined to play a role in the game’s upcoming campaign DLC.

At present, specific details about the upcoming DLC for DOOM: The Dark Ages are scarce, but given its title as a prequel set in a crucial era within the DOOM universe, there’s much speculation to be had. With players eagerly seeking answers about the enigmatic Cosmic Realm, it seems reasonable to assume that future DLC will delve into this new locale in some capacity. The introduction of another unsettling eldritch weapon would align perfectly with these expectations.
