[@willb1405]

Drakkonahn in doom 2016 there was a very slight weak point system with the demons, but nothing like in eternal. So there was no incentive to use a different weapon to target difference weakness, as you could just use the ssg on everything. Obviously you can still do this in eternal, but you’re encouraged to use the different weapons to suit different demons. There was also vastly more ammo in 2016 so you really could just ssg everything and do very little else.

[@drakkonahn8544]

@@willb1405 that is true, however the ssg in doom eternal gives you 25 armor every couple of seconds as well as keeping you mobile, whereas the other weapons don't, and still kills demons faster than targeting their weak points.

[@willb1405]

Drakkonahn it’s effective yeah and deals a lot of damage, but it’s not better than every weapon against every demon. Eg a ballista will kill a cacodemon in two shots, faster than the ssg. Or the chaingun can take down a hell knight in a few moments, faster than the ssg.

@@ryannixon4138 I wrote this comment 3 years ago when I played exclusively on Xbox, now I play the game on PC and my feelings on the super shotgun haven’t changed. It’s like the gold standard but if you’re going to play on nightmare or ultra nightmare you need to master the quick swap to completely bypass reload times. Super shotgun/ballista, ballista/ precision bolt, precision bolt/sticky bomb, precision bolt/rocket. Top tier combos.

[@ryannixon4138]

@@nerdoutreachprogram5358 woah that quick swap stuff sounds cool. And that’s cool the super shotgun still holds well. Seems like a good risk reward kinda thing

[@vonschiffer226]

HEY GUYS! So super cool tip about the Marauder, just in case people are having problems, this is what I've learned. I didn't use the Super Shotgun like a lot of people are saying. I instead stuck with the Ballista, and actually ran to the opposite side of the room and let him run to me. That's the trick. The tips on the Marauder when you first see it in the game I feel is super misleading, forever entrapping you in trying to figure out what is "medium range". But that's all you have to do! Use the Ballista, run away from him so he has to run to you, then shoot him. I killed him in 4 shots.

[@Prizrak-hv6qk]

They quickest way on harder difficulties is the ballista/super shotgun quick-switch combo. Blast him with the ballista, quick-switch to super shotgun and blast him with that while he's still faltered from the ballista. I think that you might also be able to chain it with a blood punch if you're really quick but I haven't tried that yet. The ballista and super shotgun combos are probably the most effective way to deal quick damage in the game. All of the top players use quick-switch combos and will often bind ballista and super shotgun keys to mouse-wheel up and down. I tried it today and it really does work wonders for heavies on Nightmare. Quick-switching bypasses the reload animations for the weapons, so you can just do repeated salvos extremely fast. Basically, in the time that it would take you to fire, reload and fire the super shotgun again, you can do super shotgun + ballista + another super shotgun combo, which will take down most heavies. Almost like cheating, I guess, but top players have been using it since Doom 2016 multi-player and id obviously left it in the game.

[@luismendoza7101]

For anyone struggling with the maurader you can equip the super shotgun and ballista. Stun him first with the super shotgun and switch to the ballista and shoot him again. Brings down the amount of time spent on him and levels the playing field.

[@tangoplays2547]

If you dash in when you shoot the Ballista with a quick swap, you have half a second or so to hit him with another shotgun blast before he brings his shield back up.

[@CognizantCheddar]

If you're really slick, use the ballista at the green-eye flashing moment, then switch to the lock-on rocket launcher while jumping over the faltered Marauder and firing the locked-on rockets while you're above him, followed by one last rocket into his back as you land (the fourth rocket will hit because the last rocket of the lock-on barrage falters the Marauder a second time). Do it right, and the Marauder is dead in one exchange. It's the fastest way I know to kill him. Only takes one green-eye flash moment, unlike other combos. Iirc, Zero Master demonstrates the combo in his 2-hour UN speed-run against the Arc Complex marauder.

[@ember3579]

For the Doom Hunter, I tend to ignore the shield entirely and just focus on blowing the tank carrier to bits. For that job, the sticky grenades that the combat shotgun uses are best if you're too close for rockets. I find that there's very few things that can dodge sticky spam all over the floor in front of you when you're pumping 5 at a time.

[@Phynellius]

I usually burn the shield down and then frost grenade, drop 2 frags and open up the chain gun personally. Makes quick work of the bastard

There’s also a more recent and high-level tip for the Microwave Beam, which is hotswapping to it to falter a demon for a moment in order to land another hit. Great for keeping Mancubi, Arachnotrons, and other demons that would otherwise be fast or highly-damaging at bay just long enough for a Ballista or Rocket Launcher shot, and you can keep them in this cycle by swapping back to the microwave beam when you need to. I haven’t tried it much but it’s definitely a good tactic for high-level play.

You know that Slayer Gate with two Tyrants that hits you surprisingly early in the game? One way to make those Tyrants a breeze is to max out the Micro Missile mod before that point. Kill a fodder demon with the normal Heavy Cannon rounds, then quickly focus-fire the now damage-boosted Micro Missiles on a Tyrant. It'll be dead before a fully charged Chrono-Strike rune is depleted. For the five second damage-boosted duration, the Micro Missiles with the mastery skill unlocked is the best DPS in the game.

[@AL-go2mv]

For fighting fodder and farming health the plasma gun is great. The plasma blast is great for stripping weak points off of heavier enemies and recharges fairly quick. Plus after using it your normal ammo damage goes up. I actually find the gun does better at health farming on fodder than the heavy cannon because of the rate of fire. The microwave beam is reserved for heavy demons with shields or if I can isolate a a more aggressive heavy demon from fodder I can stop him from attacking with the microwave beam and probably kill him if I have full ammo. Most of the time this severely weakens him and I can easily finish him off with another weapon. This reduces the risk I take damage from that demon due to it being able to attack. Its most useful to me in situations where there is a swarm of fodder and I am able to get the heavy into a more isolated location as to have enough time to use it.

[@dmatech]

It helps to watch the crosshair carefully with the heat blast. There are little indicators for each of the three ranks of blast that you build up, and they're easy to miss if you don't know how the thing works. It lets you time your blasts perfectly.

[@honorablejay]

I haven't even finished this, and I can easily say the combat shotgun is my preferred weapon. For those that don't think so: sticky grenades. Once upgraded, you can fire 5 without reloading, they stagger enemies easily, can rip off the weapons of enemies (revenant, arachnotron, etc), and the splash deals good damage. That doesn't mean I'm completely discounting the power of the SSG, but in most situations I find the combat shotgun has more versatility. It can sticky, it can auto-fire, and it doesn't chew through ammo as fast as the SSG.

Before the video, my favorites were the sticky bomb launcher for the combat shotgun and the precision bolt for the heavy cannon. This has not changed, as I feel the sticky bomb launcher allows for good hit and run attacks while the precision bolt not only destroys weak points but can be used to scout ahead for better tactical options. However, my opinion on several other mods has changed, with the most notable being the plasma gun's heat blast being more valuable than the microwave beam (which I had previously seen used to great effect on the gargoyles and prowlers). I have even more respect and appreciation for the chain gun's mobile turret and ballista's arbalest mods. I would consider those four (sticky bomb, precision bolt, mobile turret, and arbalest) to be the game's most essential mods.

Doom Hunter's sled goes down with a few blood punches. Best to save your ammo than waste energy cells.

[@csabawars]

My 2 favorite is the precision bolt and stickbomb in ultra nightmare i use that 2 most of the time only in the end when the demons start to pressure me way too much i start to use all the others too.

[@Setmose]

Is there a range beyond which you can't get a Rocket Lock-On lock?

[@champagnepandaog3305]

He said normal combat shotgun shot isn’t that useful late game, but it’s easier to stagger fodler demons than both mods.

[@StrifeAnarchy]

I left this video the same way I came in... Loving my chaingun

[@Eysc]

Remember to quick switch to lower the recovery time

Before watching :Rocket Launcher/BFG After watching: The Chain Gun

[@nerdoutreachprogram5358]

For anyone watching this in 2025 trying to finish the game on Ultra Nightmare before The Dark Ages comes out, this video has good tips but they’re not ultra nightmare specific. The best way to learn ultra nightmare is to watch full playthroughs of the game by someone like ZeroMaster. Watch a pro, do what they do. (Quick swapping is the key to Ultra Nightmare)

[@percivalgraves521]

I gotta say both doom games (2016 and Eternal) are really nice games. But the 2016 Doom for me personally is a bit better then eternal I really liked the athmosphere of that game and the guns. I really miss having like the pistol with infinite ammo for backup but they’ve implemented a cool way around It which makes it more challenging but I still preferred the pistol though.

[@akuskus]

Here you have chainsaw with infinite fuel to get ammo for real guns. I don't remember myself ever using the pistol in 2016, except in the beginning sequence of the game when there were no other weapons.

[@percivalgraves521]

akuskus Ye but the chainsaw also has limited uses like you can use it once and it has to recharge unless you get fuel ofc but still having the ability to know that you cant physically get out of ammo is great. And also if you have no demons around d you also get into bad situations for example where you have to actually shoot those green things and I went out of ammo and since there was no ammo laying around and no demons I couldn’t get any ammo so I was just stuck and had to do everything again. Also when I just killed a massive horde of demons and then realized there is a secret encounter I also had no ammo left and couldn’t do it.

[@marcuslombardo8615]

I haven’t tested this but maybe a good idea for the Destroyer Blade is to charge it while under cover of a shield wall from a Carcass, or while in the air from a bounce pad. P.S. Is everybody commenting about the super shotgun, playing on Hurt Me Plenty? Lol. I never find myself using it for every encounter.

[@shrimpy4307]

at 1:19 in the video with i beat the game 100% on UV AND MY FAVORITE weapon was the plasma rifle (Will reply with any updates after the video)

[@tuckerpasley4278]

Unmakyr?

[@shadowbolthaseo1861]

That's what I was wondering as well

[@thepope2412]

Bfg is better in every way

[@akuskus]

It's Unmaykr.

[@user-cz1id3ts5m]

Who else loves holding down the trigger with the chaingun mobile turret morning?

[@arandomperson4641]

ive found that the micro missle are great at doom hunters

[@Bed_Stain_Offical]

My faforite weapon is ither the ballista or supa shoty

[@IbrahimKhan-ix9vt]

Hello again

[@Dantics]

HEY DUDE! Long time!

[@IbrahimKhan-ix9vt]

@@Dantics will you be doing a playthrough of doom eternal?

[@HappyWuggy]

In Doom 2016 all I used was shotgun and super shotgun, in this game its heavy assult rifle and plasma rifle 80% of the game

[@JaxonThomas-x9s]

My fav will prolly be the chaingun

[@RevXSavage]

Yeah no, my mind didnt change, my choice was always the rocket launcher with lock on and the ballista arbalest second. Took care of everything including bosses without hardly any issues. (1 shot Gladiator and Khan Maker on nightmare) The other guns were fun, used the Combat Stick bomb shotgun quite abit which was my #3 and the precision bolt #4 (for weak point pops), but i always had ammo for the rocket launcher and ballista on nightmare mode cause chainsaw is a hell of a weapon to keep low capacity weapons with plenty of capacity. As for rocket launchers, anyone whos a quake or unreal tourny player, always gets a height advantage and aims towards the ground with rockets, or in a PVP model, aim for the feet so the explosion damage still does damage rather then at a player to fly past to deal no damage. But it's also knowing your range and closing gaps quickly to master the rocket launcher without suffering self damage and doing direct damage without the lock on. Never really had an issue with dodging demon's too much in the game if i wanted to hit something. Other then the maurader of course until i mastered the timing.

[@saadmansakib6612]

mobile turret+super shotgun = game owned

[@jupitermonkey5687]

But what about choosing between the bfg and the unmaykr?

[@alexriesen6272]

HELL yeah

[@auulauul9328]

There seems to be a distinct lack on unmaker, eh?

[@Dantics]

I don't count it as a weapon you need to get through the game since you get it when you've basically mastered the game, hehe

[@auulauul9328]

It's a weapon because you kill stuff with it.

[@megaoof3279]

3:43 you can unload in their back

[@danieljonesworshipper8]

Doom really takes the S out of slaughter

[@MrAaaaazzzzz00009999]

Lock on burst on rocket launcher is necessary for khan makyr fight

[@shadowbolthaseo1861]

What about the unmaker?

[@Azrael_Equinox]

It's probably in heavy spoiler territory so he can't cover it in the review copy.

[@jamesgrose510]

Unmaykr's not a spoiler weapon; it's plain as day in your Fortress of Doom and requires you to do optional Slayer Gates, not story progression.

[@RicochetForce]

It's the Chaingun on roids, really.

[@RodoMars]

i it good for quickly deal with one specific enemy when you want to save your crucible or have not energy on that, as it has more dps than bfg according to dev, and one bfg can kill super heavy, but a few shots of unmakyr will do the job. it is good for taking out super heavy as a result.

[@praneelprasad8318]

But it’s better to use the BFG since it’s more ammo efficient in every way

[@jankemjunkie6564]

Dude it’s so hard to tell when the heat blast is ready to fire
