Template:Infobox/weapon The BFG 9000 (stands for Big Fucking Gun or Bio Force Gun) is a weapon in Doom. It is a very powerful weapon, which utilizes some kind of heavily modified bioplasma. Similar to the Chainsaw, this weapon cannot be found on the weapon wheel.

Tactical analysis

The BFG 9000 fires a green burst of plasma, damaging nearby enemies near the projectile on flight and upon explosion, and is the most powerful weapon in the game, as it is able to kill any non-boss creature in 1 hit. However, bosses can be stunned with one direct hit for a few seconds, which can be used to break up an attack. The weapon is very useful in dangerous situations or against a large group of powerful creatures.

Unlike most weapons, no modifications can be added to BFG 9000, nor can any improvements be made. It also holds up to 3 "bullets", however there is an upgrade that can be made for enemies to have a small chance of dropping BFG ammo.

The BFG is one of the 3 power weapons available in Multiplayer, where it is an excellent way to kill demons or clear large areas of enemies.

Trivia

  • The reboot variant of the BFG-9000 appears to have been based on Classic Doom variation, with some visual features shared with the BFG 3.14 from the 2005 film (Also known as the BFG-11k in Skulltag). Its behaviour is similar to the Doom 3 variation.
