Now to the real question

[Almaz]

Is there gonna be BFG? Or is there gonna be an analogue of it? What do ya think?

[TheAlmightySunBro, Silkaire]

Probably won’t include the BFG. The weapon wouldn’t have been thought of at this point.

[UNBREAKABLE]

I hope the unmaykr replaces it and it's better than it was in Eternal. It is in the Slayer's fortress in eternal so it's likely he used it before in the crusades.

The argenta has much more powerful weapons than earth did... I don't think "hasn't been thought of yet" is an issue, the game does not literally take place in medieval times. There will most likely be an equivalent if it isn't the unmaykr or crucible.

I think the Unmaykr would be pretty cool as the main "get out of jail" weapon this time.

Then I hope there's changes to the Unmaykr. I didn't find the weapon too useful in Eternal.

It's frozen in a glacier for you to find and equip

I think it’s going to have a beefed up Unmaykr instead of BFG, but then it’s going to be the first Doom without BFG.

If they want, they can redesign BFG to look closer to its classic design and then say that Doomguy hid it in Hell/some Argenta world when it run out of ammo.

[IHateStairs]

it should, the BFG existed in the original Doom universe prior to this point so maybe doomguy has a spare from when he was fighting for the other earth laying around somewhere. That or they'll somehow have doomguy and the sentinels make his own early version of the BFG based on what he used in Doom 1,2, and 64

I'm curious to know what your thought process for this was - if it were sane or you had thought about it for more than a second or two, for example. Like what about the fact that all this stuff canonically happens after DOOM and DOOM II? You know, the games that had the BFG 9000 in them?

[Falleax]

I hope they just bring back the Unmaykr and have it not be useless. Have it be real strong and useful and use demon souls as ammo like the soul cube from Doom 3, then have it get broken during the final battle to justify why it's garbage in Doom Eternal.

I’m such an idiot. I felt like DOOM the Dark Ages was going to be a prequel to DOOM 1 and 2 but that wouldn’t make sense since he wasn’t super human yet in DOOM 1,2. That takes place after those.

But regardless of this I do have a strange suspicion that there will not be a BFG anyway, since it seems like the point of the game is the change of setting

That’s what I think to. I would prefer them to not put it in the game so we have something new to use.

No in the DOOM Universe DOOM guy traveled back in time to literally tens of millions of years ago. it wouldn't have been thought of.

Oh I see, so they had double-barreled shotguns, laser AA guns, chainsaws, orbital insertion and giant mechs but they didn't have BFGs because it wasn't thought of even though Dong Guy thought of it when he was holding it in his hands and using it, and it didn't come back until tens of millions of years later because it's not a pistol so he can't pistol start with it either
