One weapon that ’s surprisingly not useable in the Doom Slayer ’s former adventure is the pistol . Traditionally , everyDoomgame dating back to the 1993 pilot would start actor off with a pistol that would quickly be replaced withbigger and badder armaments , but the latest i d Software title skips the first step , or else bound straight to more useful implement of death and destruction . However , modder SunBeam create a wayfor players to gain access to a handgun that was reduce from the game , using console commands and Cheat Engine .
While the footstep required are technobabble for those who are n’t used to the microcomputer scene , it is potential to restore the shooting iron inDoom Eternal , though it becomes immediately obvious why it was cut . Like in everyDoomtitle before it ( includingDoom 2016 ) , the handgun is outclass by every other weapon in the game . In fact , Twitter userDave Oshrysays the gun for hire was cut for not check in withthe flow of combat , an explanation that nominate perfect sense with a game likeDoom Eternal . Even with semi - auto and burst - flaming mode , the pistol likely could n’t contain a candle to the other weapons in the game .
The armed combat ofDoom Eternalrevolves around using huge guns to weaken enemy so they can be taken down with Glory Kills to restore wellness . It ’s a fast - paced combat puzzle that does n’t add itself well to taking potshots with a pea plant - hit man , even one with a dandy burst fervour mood . InDoom 2016 , the pistol was redundant as presently as the role player cull up the Combat Shotgun , since using the chainsaw like a shot reward the player with ammo , thus negate the handgun ’s potential public-service corporation as a " desperation weapon system . " Thus , it ’s only natural that thepistol would be removed fromDoom Eternal , since it would largely go unused by most players anyway .
Nevertheless , it ’s a neat find that SunBeam managed to screw the artillery back into the biz , even if most player will use it for a minute or two before switching back to bigger and better guns , like the Super Shotgun or the new Ballista . InDoom Eternal , bigger is better , and the handgun just does n’t slue it when stacked against the eternal rest of the arsenal . Still , perchance the gun will make its style into the approaching exclusive - player DLC expansions that are presently in development for the title .
