How to Get All Weapons in Doom The Dark Ages

ARTICLE AD BOX

Weapons are not just about brute force in Doom: The Dark Ages. The Doom Slayer is a raving manifestation and thus a strategic arsenal in motion. Survival is hence about mastering any weapon the game throws at you, rather than fist-smashing skulls or shield-crushing bones.

And there are plenty of them. Unlocking new weapons in every chapter, here's all of them that can be acquired, and the uses for them.

The Arsenal Begins: Weapons by Chapter

Weapons in Doom: The Dark Ages are not given away like candy; they are earned with story progression, dropped from pods, or unlocked through environment-based puzzles. Here is a rundown of how weapons enter your hands:
The first chapter opens spectacularly and dishes three must-have weapons: Combat Shotgun, Power Gauntlet, and Shredder. They establish a sort of "mid-range fury and ammo recovery" sort of feeling.
It is between Chapters 2 and 6 that your core playstyle in the Shield Saw, Accelerator, Cycler, and Super Shotgun is put to test-and traditionally help flip armored demons and shielded threats.
Really deadly action starts from Chapter 8 onward when the weightier powers of heavy grenades, rockets, and crushing skulls of Ravager get loaded in your toolkit.
Major late-game power spikes go to weapons from Atlan (Chapters 3 and 11), the Ballistic Force Crossbow (Chapter 14), and Dreadmace (Chapter 15).

Choosing the Right Weapon for the Right Demon

Localization of different weapons into different contributors means exploiting enemy weaknesses.

Close-quarters brawlers: Time hits carefully when the Flail and the Power Gauntlet are face-to-face with demons, because their melee stacks recharge quite slowly. It can get you through the groups easily.
Shield breakers: Accelerators and Cyclers overheat and wreck the shields so that their defenders cannot shield throw or heavy round.
Crowd control: When the arenas fill with smaller enemies, the Pulverizer and ironically the Grenade Launcher dominate more. So this is when area-of-effect weapons really stand out.
Precision kills: The Impaler and Ballistic Force Crossbow are your sniper kits. They should be used after stunning the enemies or clearing the field for breathing room.

These interludes result in a drastic shift in gameplay, with primary emphases on timing and positioning. Perform dodges to charge Atlan's Machine Gun or Shotgun. These are non-customizable but give raw moments of giant-on-demon combat that feels satisfying and cinematic.

Late-Game and Legendary Tools

Ravager: Think Pulverizer, but focused. Good against elites.
Ballistic Force Crossbow: Short ammo but devastating — keen on one shot against a boss. Hunt for hidden arrows and plan their use
Dreadmace: The final melee unlock, the Dreadmace is a giant one-shot AoE monster. It has no combos but the big splash damage and style do make up for it.

It’s always tempting to get into a single wielding weapon, but mastery in Doom: The Dark Ages is in adaptability. Change your weapons often, read enemy types, and choose strategically rather than savagely. Your weapons are varied for a reason: every gun and every swing has the demon it is supposed to kill.
