Bethesda announced Doom: The Dark Ages<\/em><\/a> at the Xbox Games Showcase over the weekend, and easily the most exciting addition to the franchise featured in the trailer is the Shield Saw. As the name suggests it’s a shield. Which is also a chainsaw. Naturally, modders have already programmed the weapon into the original Doom<\/em>.<\/p>\n Modder Craneo shared a clip on X yesterday showing how they were able to bring the Shield Saw featured in the trailer for the upcoming Doom<\/em> sequel into the retro computer game. They converted the old-fashioned chainsaw into an innovative weapon that both protects you from enemy damage and rips opponents to shreds, thereby providing the wielder with a brilliant balance of defense and offense. The video makes it seem you can also toss the Shield Saw, something that was surely a pain to program.<\/p>\n Craneo also brought another Dark Ages <\/em>weapon to Doom<\/em> overnight called the Skullcrusher, or Skul-Gun, as Andy Chalk of PC Gamer<\/em><\/a> called it. As the name suggests, the Skul-Gun uses skulls as ammo and fires them out like oversized bullets. That mod remains incomplete however, because, as Craneo notes, the gameplay mechanics for its next-gen counterpart haven\u2019t been shown yet. If you want to try these out, Craneo helpfully provided links to grab the mods for both the Skul-Gun<\/a> and Shield Saw<\/a>.<\/p>\n may post the wad file later, nah, won’t remake the whole game, and ofc this skullcrusher is incomplete since we don’t know it’s full gameplay, only main fire I assume… pic.twitter.com\/mfUEmZZ4Xp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Craneo (@CreeperOfSteam) June 11, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The Doom modding community is well renowned for their creativity in adding features that make Doom more fun to play. They made Doom<\/em> playable within Doom 2<\/em><\/a>, ported the 2005 Doom mobile game to Windows<\/a>, modded the horror game MyHouse.wad<\/a> into Doom 2<\/em>, and programmed the Indiana Jones-inspired mod Venturous to the Doom engine, among other things. Of course, modders have also tried to get Doom<\/em> to run on every piece of hardware known to man, from a lawnmower<\/a> to a Roomba vacuum cleaner<\/a>. The latter device was dubbed the Doomba because game developer Rich Whitehouse programmed it to translate the floor maps into Doom maps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
