Doom Eternal is still fab without a pistol, though – in fact, judging from how much Matt gushes about the Super Shotgun in his Doom Eternal review, I’m not entirely convinced the game needs multiple weapons anyway.
“Slow-motion grappling hook drive-bys are a thing in Doom Eternal, and I implore you to indulge in them.”
You can get it by using console commands on your PC, though considering the rest of Doom Guy’s arsenal, a little handgun seems a bit tame at this point.
I reckon that pistol could’ve been pretty useful had it ended up in the game properly.
