So many ways to kill.

BFG-9000 – Long-term Doom fans will recognize this beast. It can deal huge amounts of damage to an equally huge area, just like it could in the original game. You’ll acquire this during the single player campaign, but will also be able to find it in multiplayer as a power weapon.

Burst Rifle – As the name suggests, the Burst Rifle is a rifle that fires in three-round bursts. You won’t find this in the single-player campaign, but it is available to deal some serious damage in multiplayer for those with a steady aim.

Chaingun – The Chaingun, also commonly known as a minigun, has an incredibly fast rate of fire. It’s capable of taking care of large quantities of enemies as well as pummeling larger demons with a heavy punch. Be warned, though, this requires a bit of time to warm up before it starts firing.

Chainsaw – Shown off in numerous trailers in the build-up to Doom’s release, the chainsaw is a gruesome but incredibly fun insta-kill weapon. It requires fuel, though, so be sure to keep your eye out for it as you make your way through each level. You’ll find the Chainsaw early on in Doom’s single-player campaign.

Combat Shotgun – One of the first guns you’ll acquire in the single-player campaign, the Combat Shotgun is a pump-action close range weapon with high damage but a slow rate of fire.

Fists – You can take on enemies with your bare fists if you’re up to the challenge, although we really wouldn’t recommend it.

Frag Grenade – Frag grenades will become your best friend when dealing with large swarms of demons in Doom. You’ll acquire them early on in the game, so make sure to use them whenever you can. Just be wary of the recharge time on them.

Gauss Cannon – The Gauss Cannon is an energy weapon that is capable of dealing out one-hit kills. You can grab the Gauss Cannon in the single-player campaign, and will have to fight for it as a power weapon in Doom’s multiplayer, too.

Heavy Assault Rifle – Another weapon you’ll pick up early on in Doom’s single-player campaign is the Heavy Assault Rifle. Capable of dispersing swarms of demons in its standard mode, it also has a scope which turns the weapon into a semi-automatic rifle.
