Fans of The Dark Ages Are Curious About the Shield Saw

Alright, let’s dive into this whole Shield Saw mystery thing with Doom: The Dark Ages. It’s like rummaging through your garage, wondering how on earth you lost that one tool you swore you’d never misplace. And here we are, the Doom community going wild over what happened to this strangely iconic weapon.

So, the Shield Saw. It’s not just for show in The Dark Ages. It actually slices through demons like butter. Might sound gruesome, but seriously, it’s a thing of beauty. You could even sling it at walls to make these epic jumps across gaps. It’s more than a tool—it’s the Doom Slayer’s Swiss Army knife, chaos edition.

But wait, here’s the twist. This beast of a weapon is nowhere to be found in Doom 2016. Fans are buzzing, speculating if it shattered into a million pieces or just got, you know, misplaced. Seriously, picture the Doom Slayer going, “Oops, my bad,” after a battle.

Reddit, the melting pot of theories, has fans throwing out wild guesses. Some say it’s in some DLC they might surprise us with. Others jokingly think the Doom Slayer decided he didn’t need it anymore—the Crucible or Chainsaw might be cooler.

Here’s the fun bit: someone on Reddit, ‘awkward_but_decent,’ wondered if it broke. It sparked this avalanche of fan theories. Diverse as the Doom community’s interests are, they kind of united over this missing piece of gear.

Now, touch on the reality of game launches. Doom: The Dark Ages is blowing up. Like, three million players in a week kind of huge. It’s like they tapped into some primal need to blast demons by the truckload. What’ll id Software do next, right? I mean, after this success, they’ve got a high bar to keep clearing.

So, maybe one day they’ll spill the beans on the Shield Saw. Or maybe they’ll just keep us guessing with teases and nods. Until then, it remains a riddle wrapped inside an enigma in a universe full of impossibly tough demons. Fun times in the Doom universe, right?
