DOOM Eternal weapons are bound to be boisterous, intimidating, explosive, and deadly. DOOM is known for creating an aggressive play style as players earn health, armor, and ammo by pressing and killing enemies. Unlike most shooters that want you to take stock of situations and look to make the best tactical decision, DOOM wants you to spray-and-pray.

Based on the demos at E3 and other gaming conventions, the weapons are looking to be the same as previous iterations.

There is undoubtedly going to be more weapons revealed during the actual release of the game, but here's what know so far.

DOOM Eternal Weapons: Heavy Cannon

The Heavy Cannon is much like the Heavy Assault Rifle, but it has a charged shot instead.

DOOM Eternal Weapons: Arm Blade

The Arm Blade is used for Glory Kills. It tends to make them a bit more bloody.

DOOM Eternal Weapons: Plasma Gun

One of the most popular guns in the series, the Plasma Gun went through a complete redesign for DOOM Eternal. It's gone back to the bulky version compared to the newer sleek version from 2016.

DOOM Eternal Weapons: Super Shotgun

The Super Shotgun is coming back and has a new twist, the Meat Hook. It allows players to hook enemies and shoot them in the face point blank. It should be a fan favorite.
