The weapon will also be available very early in the game! (probably right after the shotgun) So you can kill those hard to reach demons and use the energy cells you get from kills right away. That’s right, you can aim the Plasma Rifle diagonally! This mechanic is unique to this weapon only. You mostly won’t need to duck to reach enemies and with the projectile speed aiming will be easier.Īlso since the projectiles aren’t homing anymore a new mechanic to help aim has been added to this weapon. Its new strengths however will not be in its firing speed or damage, but in the size and speed of the plasma projectiles. It will be an energy efficient weapon(unlike its previous version), also less destructive than before. The new Plasma Rifle, is a weapon which will help you in most cases, and will be a great go-to-gun. First of all the homing aspect of the rifle has been removed and taken to another weapon.

After seeing people play MiniDoom I came to the conclusion that a weapon which was very reliable was needed, and the familiar face of the Plasma Rifle was perfect for the job.

Mad Squirrel Mods decided to dub the original Plasma Gun as the Plasma Gun Mk. Meanwhile, the Plasma Gun from the original games is said to return in DOOM: Eternal.

In the franchise's few reincarnations, the weapon itself had been changed in appearance, starting with the Plasma Gun in DOOM 3. This was the very first Plasma Gun introduced to the DOOM franchise.
