Ranking all weapons in Doom The Dark Ages from best to worst

Currently, Doom The Dark Ages has a total of 11 weapons. This article will place all of them in a tier list from S-tier to C-tier, with S-tier containing the best and the C-tier containing the worst of the weapons.

S-tier

This tier contains the best weapons in Doom The Dark Ages. Consider upgrading these over others as the game progresses.

1) Super Shotgun

The Super Shotgun is easily one of the best weapons in the game. It can dish out massive damage at close range, making it deadly even against the powerful enemies in the later stages.

Although this gun has limited range, most of Doom’s battles take place in close quarters where you can combine your melee attacks with the Super Shotgun to be the most effective.

2) The Cycler

The Cycler perfectly complements the Super Shotgun in Doom The Dark Ages. It shines in long-range combat with fast fire-rate and high accuracy, making it perfect for situations where getting close to enemies might not be the best option.

Furthermore, the Cycler also has the ability to apply Shock to enemies. For context, Shock is a debuff that makes the monsters take more damage. This ability is extremely effective against enemies in the later stages of the game, who are difficult to take down due to their high health or blocking ability.

3) The Impaler

The Impaler should be your weapon of choice for bosses and minibosses. Its insanely high damage to single targets makes it perfect for these situations where other weapons might be lacking.

Moreover, the upgrades for the Impaler focus on your overall development instead of just the gun itself. This makes it so your character gets better overall as you progress.

• Grenade Launcher
• The Chain Shot
• Rocket Launcher
