Remember running your feet up and down the carpet to create an electrical shock in your fingers as a kid? Well, the Static Rifle works the same way, allowing you to build up stronger firing power as you move along in Doom. It fires rocket bursts that can take out most smaller enemies in one shot, and you can also set up a secondary firing mode that lets you detonate the rocket sooner. The rocket launcher is one of the best weapons in Doom, but it's also the hardest weapon to find ammo for, which means you'll want to make each shot count. It has a solid firing rate, decent range, and you can increase its capability by modding it with a grenade-style bolt that spreads out to create additional damage by bouncing further towards your enemies. With this classic weapon making its return to Doom, you'll be able to spread brightly colored wildfire on anyone that gets in your way. The only downside is that it takes a little longer to reload – which is a small price to pay for a shotgun this awesome.

In addition to its powerful firing capability, you can also modify this weapon to increase its spread capacity, making it possible to hit more than one enemy at a time if they get too close. If you're the type of person who prefers to shred a hellion or enemy soldier with a single shot, the Super Shotgun is the best tool for the job. You can also modify it with a Charge Burst attachment to fire three shots in a row, just in case one doesn’t get the job done. Essentially, you won't run low on ammo as quickly as you would in other games, and can pump them out at a much faster pace if things get hectic. It may not be as awesome as the Super Shotgun, however the benefit to the regular shotgun is its faster firing rate, and the fact that you can stock up to 20 shells at a time. It also has a decent amount of range if you feel like taking out your foes from a safe distance. Although it won't take down an enemy as easily as other weapons in the game, the heavy machine gun still can be very useful, especially when it comes to precision aiming with the sight. This is one of the first weapons that will really get you started with in Doom. What makes the pistol even better is that it comes with unlimited ammunition, so you can reload and stay in the fight without the distraction of having to scavenge for ammo.

The pistol is the weakest weapon in Doom, but it certainly beats trying to fight enemies with your fists.
