The Heavy Cannon shares its ammo pool with the Chaingun. Trigger management is of the highest priority when using this weapon, as self-inflicted gunshot wounds are common thanks to its no-pull reflex trigger system. However, the additional weight makes the Heavy Cannon an ideal sniper rifle, as swaying and tremors are mitigated by the massive bulk. In this state missile damage is increased by 30%: with the "Bottomless Missiles" Mastery, this results in the Heavy Cannon being able to deal more damage per second than the Chaingun in Mobile Turret form.Ī common complaint among users of this punch-packing conventional weapon is the weight, as most of the components are forged in Tungstronium, a proprietary alloy developed to withstand enormous stresses imparted by the optional exploding dart ammunition. With this, a kill with standard gunshots from the Heavy Cannon (with the Micro Missile mod equipped) will supercharge the weapon, causing it to glow red for five seconds. There is no longer an upgrade to reduce ammo consumption, as this has been replaced with a new "Primary Charger" upgrade. The micro-missiles are essentially the same, save that there are now launchers on both sides of the barrel for a total of 12 shots between loading pauses. The scope functionality has been changed somewhat since the previous game, however: it is a drastically slower single-shot mode, and uses six ammunition per shot when aimed. It is functionally similar to the Heavy Assault Rifle seen previously in Doom (2016).Īs before, the modifications available are either a precision scope for long-range fire, or a micro-missile launcher which launches small missiles with a narrow seeking angle: these explode with a small amount of splash damage a short time after impact. This will spawn the pistol in the hand of the Doom Slayer.The Heavy Cannon is a weapon in Doom Eternal.

Type into the console ‘give weapon/player/pistol’ and tap Enter. When in-game, tap the Tilde button (the one below Esc and above TAB on your keyboard) to open the developer console. How do I activate the pistol in Doom eternal? While the pistol has been the standard starter weapon in DOOM since time immemorial, it’s never been a terribly fun gun to use. id Software decided to scrap the pistol because “it didn’t really fit the combat flow” according to the developer.
