DOOM Eternal: Ranking EVERY Weapon From Worst To Best

12. DoomBlade

The DoomBlade- Doom Guy's answer to the question: "What if you could punch through someone's face, but cooler?"

While it may be a context specific weapon, (sadly only unsheathed during a glory kill) the DoomBlade takes the prize for most "oof" inducing weapon. With a quick mash of the right bumper, you, yes you, can squeal with sick, childish delight as a Pain Elemental's eyeball ends up like a cocktail accoutrement on a stick.

With an array of imaginative animations at its disposal, the DoomBlade ensures that glory kills are never boring or repetitive. In fact, with Doom Guy's perforating arm skewer, he'd make an excellent recruit for the Assassin's creed franchise. Imagine the Templars going up against a seven foot tall murderising machine in a space suit. Jaws would drop to the floor. Literally.

It's such a shame then that the default melee attack is a simple punch, and it feels like a definite missed opportunity to become Hell's version of Vlad the Impaler. Imagine, unlimited access to slice through demon necks like a Sweeney Todd musical with better backing tracks. Ah well, talons crossed for Doom 3. Not that one. God, no, not that one.
