DOOM Eternal: Ranking EVERY Weapon From Worst To Best

10. Chainsaw

Let's be honest, Doom Guy doesn't NEED the Chainsaw. When you're lugging a veritable armoury around on your back, a Chainsaw just seems a bit excessive. Having said that, do we WANT a Chainsaw? Like a Texas based serial killer, we do indeed.

Like everything in Doom, there's also a strategic element to the Chainsaw: it drops more ammo than a spray-and-pray Quake player. It's the perfect situational tool for when you just need a few more bullets. Or lasers. Or rockets. No BFG related produce, however. Awwww.

Not only does it refill Doom Guy's ammo, something that is a frequent necessity in Doom Eternal's frenetic arenas, it's also a guaranteed insta-kill. In a lot of situations, the Chainsaw can be an absolute lifesaver, lopping off those pesky mancubus arms before that overgrown vomit-lobster can acidify too much of your precious health bar.

Just use it sparingly, though, the Chainsaw only has three charges maximum. The last thing you'll want is to go toe to toe with a Tyrant only to find you're uselessly revving a high tech butter knife.
