DOOM 3 Hints

Plasma Gun

  • Damage: 16 per round
    Clip/Max Ammo: 50 / 500
    First Found: Alpha Labs Sector 3

    Anyone who's played the original DOOM games knows how useful the plasma gun is. It's like a chaingun that fires powerful plasma bursts at a high rate, and it doesn't even require a spin-up time! Many players consider this to be their all-purpose fun gun once they get it, and usually prefer to have it ready when entering unknown parts. Its plasma shots are a little easier for enemies to dodge, and they're considerably larger than bullets, making it hard to shoot through small openings.
