The Dark Ages Update Weakens Two of Its Best Guns

Okay, let’s dive into this without too much fuss but, well, also with a bit of chaos. Doom: The Dark Ages just got hit with an update nerfing the Pulverizer and Ravager guns—those two were pretty much the big boys, or rather skull-crushers, if you will. This game, a new entry in the Doom series, yanks you back to medieval times. Crazy, right? It’s all swords and shields but with a Slayer vibe.

When these guys showed it off a year ago at one of Xbox’s shindigs, the Pulverizer was all the rage. It’s like, this gun grinds skulls and sprays them everywhere, like confetti. Pretty wild and messy. Oh, and of course, there’s a variant, ’cause why not, right? The Ravager is its name and the whole deal is it does the skull-spraying thing too, but in a tighter pattern. Slower firing though—it’s like waiting for toast to pop but it eventually speeds up. So, better for bigger demons, apparently.

Now, id Software—those guys behind the curtain—just said, “Hey, let’s spice things up,” and rolled out a small “Tunable” update. Sounds fancy for nerf-time. The Hell Knight’s arms? Yeah, they’re tougher now! Pulverizer ain’t taking them out easily anymore. And Ravager? They decided it was being too rough on the Komodo demons and bosses. So, nerf city for that.

Honestly, sad day for fans of the Ravager, it seemed perfect for those massive Komodo creatures. But, the Pulverizer’s nerf isn’t too bad since it’s pretty much chaos against Hell Knights unless they’re chilling with smaller demons.

Ah, bugs! You’d think with such chaos there’d be tons, but nope, surprisingly sleek launch they had. But if you’re into tracking tweaks, keep an eye out, ’cause future updates could switch things up. It’s like they’re playing whack-a-mole with these game features. Will it affect your fav weapon? Who knows, but isn’t that part of the fun?

### Doom: The Dark Ages Update Highlights
– Hell Knight’s arms? Surprisingly beefy now.
– Ravager’s damage? Toned down against bosses and Komodo.
– Health and armor drop duration? Trimmed during certain boss fights.
– Atlan mech levels see reduced drop times and rebalanced boss battles.

Now shove that into your brain while you blast some demons. Who knew medieval times could be so… explosive?
