DOOM: The Dark Ages<\/em> is ready to receive its first DLC on July 7 in the shape of the Revelations expansion pack featuring a brand new weapon and as much as 12 hours of content. It\u2019s at all times fun to see the way in which DOOM\u2019s developers find ways to eviscerate, explode, impale, ignite, disintigrate, shoot, dismember, and otherwise wreak havoc with the demonic denizens within the now 33-year-old franchise, and the brand new Chain Spear looks to be one other welcome addition to the Slayer\u2019s ever-growing arsenal.<\/p>\n \u201cIt adds movement tech to\u00a0Dark Ages<\/em>\u00a0combat, complete with a splash and grapple hook. We\u2019re going to make the tanky\u00a0Dark Ages<\/em>\u00a0Slayer fly. You\u2019ll feel like a monster truck with a jet engine strapped to your back.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Hugo Martin, Game Director and id Software Studio Co-Director<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The slayer only recently gained a Shield Saw in DOOM: The Dark Ages<\/em>, but as so often happens with latest equipment, it has already develop into damaged and have to be replaced. Fret not, though, as he’s getting the Chain Spear<\/a>, which brings latest attack modes, features, and skills. While players may find it difficult to adapt to the Chain Spear at first, they’re encouraged to maintain trying as latest skills may be unlocked with it.<\/p>\n \u201c\u201cThere may be a ton of skill expression within the DLC, and it\u2019s all through the spear, so it\u2019s value your time and investment.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Hugo Martin, Game Director and id Software Studio Co-Director<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Players can use it to stab, throw at enemies like a sniper shot, and be used similarly to Everlasting\u2019s hammer for slam-down attacks to interrupt armor or parry various attacks, including projectiles. The spear also adds additional movement options for our hulkish slayer, and its tip may be shot out to make use of as a grappling hook. In some ways, it appears like the developers have reinvented the bullwhip utilized by Indiana Jones to assist the Slayer plow through enemies, defend himself, and be a useful gizmo when needed.<\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps most enjoyable are the movement options that the Chain Spear adds. The tip of the spear may be shot out on a series like a grappling hook, pulling the Slayer in toward enemies or up through the air and across the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Microsoft<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n One other latest feature of the spear is its ability to \u201corbit\u201d or rotate around enemies while tethered by its chain to rain down gunfire upon them. Martin references how this z-targeting system compares to that seen with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em>\u00a0and Elden Ring<\/em>. Revelations is alleged so as to add roughly 10-12 hours of content, which will even be incorporated into Dark Ages\u2019 endgame, where players will have the ability to make use of each the spear and shield.<\/p>\n \n\n
