Best Weapons in DOOM: The Dark Ages

DOOM: The Dark Ages builds upon the series' tradition with a lethal and varied inventory. While all weapons possess particular advantages, others stand head and shoulders above the rest owing to their excellent damage, usability, and capacity to be upgraded.

Elite Weapons

Ravager – The Mighty Titan

The Ravager is DOOM: The Dark Ages' top weapon. As equipped with the Vampirism, Ignition, and Supplier upgrades, it inflicts massive damage while reloading health and ammunition. Though late in the game to unlock, its unparalleled efficiency makes it a favorite right away.

Ballistic Force Crossbow – Terrifying AoE Potential

Acting as the game's equivalent of the BFG, the Ballistic Force Crossbow is superior in area-of-effect damage. Clearing crowds of demons instantly with it is a godsend in intense situations. But its low ammo count necessitates its deliberate use.

Shield Saw – Master of Offense and Defense

A defense-oriented weapon, the Shield Saw is surprisingly deadly. Its ability to function in synergy with upgrades such as Pincushion and Rupture and four heavy shield runes makes it a versatile and lethal choice for ranged combat tactics. 

Mid-Tier Weapons

Combat Shotgun – Early Game Trustworthiness

The Combat Shotgun is the initial weapon that players are introduced to, yet it continues to be useful throughout. Upgrades such as Smelt and Flare-Up assist in generating armor, increasing survivability and making it a staple for prolonged combat.

Accelerator – Sustain Through Heat

The Accelerator has an advantage with its Heatblast upgrade, which enables it to produce its own ammunition. It's especially useful in dense encounters, charging up for devastating bursts of energy.

Even though DOOM: The Dark Ages provides an abundance of deadly weapons, the Ravager, Ballistic Force Crossbow, and Shield Saw are the most versatile and powerful weapons that come close to the essence of DOOM's maddening, high-speed gameplay and are a necessary component for any Slayer that seeks to overwhelm the hellish horde.
