Quick Links
TheDOOMfranchise is well-known forits awe-inspiring arsenal of demon-destroying weapons, andDOOM: The Dark Agescontinues with this rich tradition. When they first start playing the game, players will only have access to the Combat Shotgun, but as they progress, they’ll be able to get their hands on a wide variety of exciting weapons.
There are 15DOOM: The Dark Agesweapons in total, plus the Slayer’s Shield Saw and four special runes that players can use with it. None of these items are missable, and all but one of them can be upgraded by visiting a Sentinel Shrine. Most upgrade paths are fairly linear, although some weapons allow players to choose between two different skills/abilities.
