However you feel about Doom, there's no denying one, simple fact: The game gives good boomstick.
Doom is defined more by its fast pace and memorable cast of demonic foes. But this seminal first-person shooter also features a diverse arsenal of guns that all feel different from one another. The upcoming reboot of Doom doubles down on the mayhem -- quite literally -- with the addition of alternate firing modes. That three-barrel chain gun is a beast to haul around, but take the time to deploy it in turret mode and you can unload with a whopping nine barrels.
To get you in the mood for the looming demon slaughter, Bethesda Softworks was kind enough to share a gallery of concept art and renders that highlight some of the new Doom's weapons. In addition to all the images, you also get commentary from the artists laying out the inspiration for each gun and describing some of what it can do.
Look for Doom on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One starting May 13.
