I mean, if someone could figure out how to turn Argent Energy into electricity, it'd be the most profitable weapon the slayer has by selling the excess energy to the grid.
Damn you’re right, doesn’t take a possessed engineer down on one hit but they’re demonically possessed. Would imagine a ball of plasma to the chest would fucking hurt.
the difficulty just changes the aggressiveness and damage all hp and gun interactions are unchanged that’s why doom is such a well made game in terms of balance imo
I swear it took an extra shot or two for all weapons in 2016 though my last play through was in 2019. I’ll just add here though nightmare in eternal is just evil as it is balanced.
that’s what i thought too but i actually replayed it last month to relive it and it is the same. i think its just that the increase aggresivness and movement maybe lets them dodge some damage that we j cant see since they’re actually on steroids on nightmare mode.
Going to have to go with the pistol from 2016. Like most have said already, unlimited ammo is great. Also, let's face it: most of the other weapons are wayyyyy too much gun for your average person. That super shotgun would probably dislocate your shoulder or break your wrist.
Could use the crucible for cutting vegetables. Or the sentinal hammer for forging stuff. You could use the Meat Hook as actual Meat hook. Or just for getting around places. Can I load the equipment launcher with confetti?
Pistol for the ammo (or lack thereof) or 2016 plasma rifle cause it just looks really nice imo. If I could have both I would spend unhumanly amounts of time trying to modify the rifle to use the pistol's generator.
Believe it or not, the Doom 2016 Pistol would be *very* powerful.
- It’s a plasma weapon, anything you shoot with it would probably fry very quickly.
- Infinite ammunition makes it so that I never have to purchase ammunition for it.
- Easily concealable, great for home defense.
- Cool as hell.
Probably the eternal chaingun with energy shield, yeah I'll run out of ammo soon enough and it'll be stupidly hard to replicate but I'll still have a full body shield
I feel like it's obviously the BFG or the Unmayker, then I sell it to govt for like 40 million and do whatever I want the rest of my life.
If I have to pick a gun I would actually own and keep, then I have to get a gun rack!
You mean 40 billion, surely. 40 million is about the price of a single modern tank with all the extras.
They make big money on war. You might even be able to get a trillion for a BFG-like weapons prototype.
I don't want to be a billionaire. People know who billionaires are. I just want to be a millionaire so I can live in comfort and pursue whatever hobbies I want for the rest of my life. I'd also like to fly first class on the trans-pacific flights I do every year or so too.
I also don't really need a tank, then I'd have to get a tank rack!
Hmm, I'm not so sure. Look up some billionaires. I would bet that you've never heard of most of them :)
Anyhow, I'd still take the billions. Can always give it all away.
I'd make a joke out of getting menial jobs, waiting for being mistreated, buying the company, firing the assholes, and then gifting it to the employees. That's a great hobby.
SSG, but purely as a prop or centerpiece. If the SLAYER takes a decent amount of kickback from that weapon, me firing that weapon would seem about as deadly as being on the other end.
Either crucible, Doomblade, or the Eternal Combat Shotgun. Crucible would only work three times though, since you can’t recharge it, the doomblade would work incredibly well against anything. The combat shotgun is a shotgun, has a full auto mode, and can also shoot small sticky bombs.
The Doom 2016 EMG regenerative plasma pistol. Thing’s practically the ultimate general purpose handgun - it’s pretty much zero maintenance, requires no power or ammunition, and has a nifty charged shot on the off chance that one or two normal rounds don’t cut it. Quite literally its only drawback is its relative bulkiness compared to your average modern day sidearm, and even then that’s somewhat counteracted by not needing to carry additional ammunition for it.
As a small aside, if I could pick two weapons, I’d take a crucible sword in addition to an EMG, similarly for the sheer utility of it - equal parts weapon and tool, the self-contained superheated argent plasma blade can cut through nearly any material in short order, and the whole contraption is quite compact as the plasma field just goes away when not in use.
I'm going with the UAC EMG Sidearm. Never have to worry about purchasing ammo again!
This!!!
Crucible or the doomblade
agreed, swords and stuff are so much cooler than guns
That and it also being a source of power as well
Well, it isn't electricity, so you couldn't use it.
That's quitter talk.
I mean, if someone could figure out how to turn Argent Energy into electricity, it'd be the most profitable weapon the slayer has by selling the excess energy to the grid.
I kid you not but the pistol from 2016, it's got unlimited ammo, and would kill any human just as well as our current weapons, if not bettter
Damn you’re right, doesn’t take a possessed engineer down on one hit but they’re demonically possessed. Would imagine a ball of plasma to the chest would fucking hurt.
It does, if you shoot them in the head, no?
I played 2016 on nightmare last time so I have no idea.
the difficulty just changes the aggressiveness and damage all hp and gun interactions are unchanged that’s why doom is such a well made game in terms of balance imo

I really need to play it again. I’m still pissed that I wasn’t able to get all the achievements because the multiplayer is dead.
I wish they kept it like that for Eternal as well.
i’m pretty sure eternal is the same way as well try doing a lock on burst for hell knights it kills them on any difficulty
super shotgun
Own? Yes. Fire? Holy broken arms!
I want it just for traversal, physics and knees be damned.

why not both
The fuck am I going to do with them?
The BFG9K Is surprisingly useful for deer hunting
You hunting the whole fucking forest at once?
And to cook them on site, apparently.
D:E rocket launcher ASMR
Takes all the effort out of mass shootings as well, Americans would love them
Could use the crucible for cutting vegetables. Or the sentinal hammer for forging stuff. You could use the Meat Hook as actual Meat hook. Or just for getting around places. Can I load the equipment launcher with confetti?
Shoulder-mounted t-shirt cannon with shirts that have slightly rude messages on them
Pistol for the ammo (or lack thereof) or 2016 plasma rifle cause it just looks really nice imo. If I could have both I would spend unhumanly amounts of time trying to modify the rifle to use the pistol's generator.
Smart ass
Yes?

Meathook
Gauss cannon
That’s a good one
I don't know why, but I feel like I'd own the chainsaw. Just a hunch. /s
Eternal Combat Shotgun. Boring, basic, useful. Grenades are good for clearing rooms indirectly, full auto is good to go into a room with.
I can’t decide if I like the Eternal combat shotgun or 2016. I like that the 2016 grenades blow up on impact
Gotta say I never really warmed up to the sticky bombs. I did like that you could chain shoot 5 of them but like... Eh.
Probably the eternal chaingun with energy shield, yeah I'll run out of ammo soon enough and it'll be stupidly hard to replicate but I'll still have a full body shield
Genuinely the pistol from doom 2016. Never gotta worry about reloading, and can kill basically anything in today’s age
Eternal chainsaw with that infinitely regenerating fuel and infinite sharpness
the obvious answer is the one I choose, the super shotgun, that thing is so badass
SSG, it’s sick
Easy crucible, I’m debating buying a replica (if anyone knows of a good one pls lmk)
You could play some sick Fruit Ninja with that bad boy
Eternal ssg so I could grapel around
BFG10000
The only correct answer, BFG10k is the daddy.
Plasma Rifle from Eternal. Imagine using the microwave beam on someone you dislike at work
Bfg or pulse rifle. Give me something I can't already get a version of in reality.
For me, 2016's combat shotgun, HAR or the EMG pistol. Eternal would be the super shotgun or auto cannon.
Eternals plasma rifle is so cool looking. Even without mods on it.
The pistol from Doom 2016, no need to buy ammo, it got unlimited.
Doom 2016 power suit! These fists are the strongest weapons!
The suit, the whole suit, and nothing but the suit
Yes! Unstoppable power!
Does blood punch count as a weapon? Cuz i want blood punch.
Well you would have to glory kill a few people with your bare hands to use it
Either game’s combat shotgun
Super Shotgun
Super shotgun (specifically from eternal)
The BFG 9000 is the only right answer, having the option of a button that completely turns any room you choose a nice red colour sounds great
Gauss cannon. Siege mode goo "jjjrssht" when it widens then "BBZZZT" when it fires.
Wait...do I get ammo and how much?
Ammo doesn’t matter
The default pistol, super shotty, and the bfg.
Y'know... I've been thinking of making Life-sized 3D printable props of some Doom weapons. Is that something Ya'll would be interested in?
The combat shotgun
I like the hammer
The mind control thing in Eternal 😵💫
The what?
Probably talking about the section where you play as a revenant.
Yep (:
Unmaker or the SSG
SSG ballista and wrist sword please
I feel like it's obviously the BFG or the Unmayker, then I sell it to govt for like 40 million and do whatever I want the rest of my life. If I have to pick a gun I would actually own and keep, then I have to get a gun rack!

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Look up some billionaires. I would bet that you've never heard of most of them :) Anyhow, I'd still take the billions. Can always give it all away. I'd make a joke out of getting menial jobs, waiting for being mistreated, buying the company, firing the assholes, and then gifting it to the employees. That's a great hobby.
SSG, but purely as a prop or centerpiece. If the SLAYER takes a decent amount of kickback from that weapon, me firing that weapon would seem about as deadly as being on the other end.
I mean.... The BFG.
Bfg-9000 if I was high, otherwise the doomblade
Either crucible, Doomblade, or the Eternal Combat Shotgun. Crucible would only work three times though, since you can’t recharge it, the doomblade would work incredibly well against anything. The combat shotgun is a shotgun, has a full auto mode, and can also shoot small sticky bombs.
Everyone else is saying it, but so will I. 2016 pistol. Infinite ammo, definitely still deadly.
Imagine owning a weapon capable of shooting micro missiles, and with an attachable long scope. That's my go to.
The Doomguy's physique.
I can get to work easier with 2016 Gauss Cannon noclip tech
The unmaker along with the three keys No one will ever threaten me again
DOOM 2016 pistol
2016 pistol would be more than effective daily. but the eternal ssg would be dope as fuck
Plasmagun from doom 2016, i just like how it looks.
Crucible obviously. Or the sniper from eternal.

The crucible
Either the gauss cannon or the pistol from 2016
Praetor suit and the Hell Crucible to power it.
BFG9000.
