- Doom: The Dark Ages will feature overhauled weapons from the last entry.
- Except for the shotgun, all weapons are transformed and built from scratch.
- It also has new melee weapons and vehicles making the core gameplay different.
The next installment in the Doom franchise, Doom: The Dark Ages is all set to release this year. As we near the launch, new details about the title are being revealed, and this time it’s about the most important aspect of the title, the combat.
The game director says that all weapons in Doom: The Dark Ages are completely different and overhauled from the last game except for the shotguns.
Why it matters: Combat is what makes the Doom games stand out and that’s primarily thanks to great weapons and guns, where each shot has its weight, so it’ll be interesting to see what the new ones bring to the table.
Speaking to PC Gamer, Doom: The Dark Ages director, Hugo Martin talked about the changes they’ve made to the weapons. He said that you have your classics like the plasma rifle and shotguns, but they wanted to do more, so they started from scratch.
I think only the shotguns are the same, The plasma is so different, so the rest are brand new.

Some of the most interesting new weapons include The Skullcrusher which lets you do horrible things to the demons, and The Railspike which pins the enemies to the walls. In addition, the title will also feature new vehicles.
Overall the core gameplay will be different from the last entries. Martin further stated that the difficulty of the game won’t dial up instantly because most of the guns are brand new and they will take some time to master.
Doom: The Dark Ages is just a couple of months away at this point as it comes out on May 15. So, you won’t have to wait too long to finally jump into the unforgiving world and take out the demons with the brand-new weapons.
