Best upgrade for all weapons in Doom The Dark Ages
Doom The Dark Ages has a variety of weapons to pick from, and their in-game effectiveness largely depends on your chosen upgrades. Every weapon has a specific set of upgrades to pick from, but not all of them are equally effective. This guide will help you zero in on the best upgrades available for every weapon in the game. That way, you won't waste your hard-earned Gold, and help every gun deliver its true potential. Best weapon upgrades in Doom The Dark Ages Every weapon has a certain best-case use scenario, but regardless, their effectiveness will go up as you get different upgrades. Screenshot by Destructoid Weapon Upgrade Reason Combat Shotgun Smelt While the Combat Shotgun has some really cool upgrades, Smelt is an amazing choice. It will make enemies drop more ammo for you to pick up, which is fantastic when you consider how healing works in the game. Tune Up is another good choice, but other weapons fill the role better. Accelerator Heatblast Heatblast is the closest you can get to a weapon with near-infinite ammo, and the effect is among my favorites. Chainshot Eldritch Blessing The Chainshot isn't very good in terms of overall effectiveness, but Eldritch Blessing certainly improves its damage potential. Every Hell Surge parry will automatically charge your next shot from the weapon. This is specifically useful against Champions, who have plenty of Super Shotgun Any The Super Shotgun is one of those rare guns that can improve significantly with all its upgrades. If you love this gun, investing in all its upgrades should be your priority. Shredder Pincushion The Shredder really lacks sustained damage potential, and that's where the Pincushion update comes in. Your Shredder will gain the power to fire explosive rounds, and they're significantly better than the spikes. The explosions are also great at AoE damage. Cycler Amplify The Cycler isn't one of my favorites, but Amplify will help you deal more damage to shocked demons. Pulverizer Flay The focus with Pulverizer is to increase its damage, and a great way to do that is with the help of Flay. Flay will make the Pulverizer shoot more projectiles per shot, along with extended range. Impaler Chronospike The Impaler is a great weapon as it is, but you'll get more time to dodge incoming attacks from enemies. Any projectiles fired during the slowdown time will deal more damage. Grenade Launcher Rupture One of the Grenade Launcher's biggest weaknesses is ammo. With Rupture, any direct hit will drop Cluster Grenades if the enemy has been affected by the Shield Saw. It's a bit tricky upgrade to master as you'll also have to use the Shield Saw in combination with the Grenade Launcher, but the upgrade effect is the best one to get. Rocket Launcher Cooked The Rocket Launcher doesn't have too much ammo. Empowering every shot is going to get the most out of it, and that's what the Cooked upgrade does. You'll have to master the art of Parrying, as doing so will power up your next shot. Ravager Ignition The Ravager is an incredible weapon, and the Ignition upgrade makes it reach its maximum fire rate faster. Any form of movement penalty that might be applicable while moving is also removed. How to get upgrades in Doom The Dark Ages? You'll have to discover specific POIs called Sentinel Shrines and use your Gold to complete upgrades. You can upgrade your weapons, shield, or melee weapons, but it requires you to be selective as the amount of Gold you can earn is finite.
