Unmaker/Doom Eternal

The Unmaykr is one of three Super Weapons in Doom Eternal. It is unlocked in The Fortress of Doom after obtaining all six Empyrean Keys by completing all of the Slayer Gates. Although it is a returning weapon from Doom 64, this time the weapon is spelled "Unmaykr", which is a nod towards the Khan Maykr's name and the Maykr race introduced in Doom Eternal.

The Unmaykr uses the same ammo as the BFG, and can be fired 30 times per BFG ammo pickup.

Tactical analysis
The Unmakyr is fully automatic and possesses a high rate of fire. Each trigger pull fires 3 projectiles in a horizontal arc. During continuous fire, the width of the arc expands with each shot in a 3 stage cycle before returning to its original width and restarting the cycle. This can be seen by firing at a wall and observing the scorch marks. Unlike the BFG 9000, the Unmakyr only consumes 1 ammo per shot, though its high fire rate can rapidly consume ammo reserves.

In-game, the Unmakyr is extremely effective against all demon types, including bosses. It is especially effective against tightly clustered groups and larger demons such as the Mancubus. Due to its projectile spread, the Unmakyr is most effective at close to mid-range. However, it is not an instant kill weapon and heavier enemies require more shots to kill. This should be noted for higher difficulties, especially when near death. Caution should also be used against highly mobile and flying enemies to avoid wasting ammo.

Although it lacks the instant room-clearing ability of the BFG, the Unmakyr can be an devastating weapon in the hands of a skilled player. Additionally, its direct fire allows players to be selective of their targets. Ironically, this feature makes the Unmakyr an ammo-saving alternative to the BFG, despite its high ammo consumption. Players can reserve the weapon for groups or stronger enemies and deal with the rest using conventional weapons, thus saving ammo for later encounters. Should the player be surrounded, the Unmakyr is an excellent weapon to quickly carve a path to safety, especially if near death.
