DOOM: The Dark Ages Fans Craft Real-Life Skullcrusher Gun

Summary

Fans recently recreated the Doom: The Dark Ages' Skullcrusher weapon in incredible detail.
The project took three and a half weeks to complete, with the replica's frame made largely of plastic and wood.
Doom: The Dark Ages was released on May 15.

Players have been introduced to a number of savage new weapons in Doom: The Dark Ages, but one married couple of fans love the Slayer's Skullcrusher so much that they recreated the gun in real life, and in astonishing detail. The hype around the latest Doom title has been strong since its recent launch, so much so that many fans of Doom: The Dark Ages have been inspired to bring several of the game's characters, weapons, and items to life via arts and crafts.

Doom: The Dark Ages mixes things up a bit when it comes to the Doom Slayer's arsenal this time around. Although classic weapon archetypes endure and several old favorites, such as the Super Shotgun, are back for players to use, some weapons like the machine gun have been replaced with gruesome new variants in the latest game. The Skullcrusher is instead the go-to weapon for players who want to tear through hordes of demons with full-auto fire, with the gun breaking demonic skulls down into shards of bone to use as projectiles.

Inspired by the gory majesty of this new weapon, a fan known as KamuiCosplay recently put together an amazingly detailed replica of Doom: The Dark Ages' Skullcrusher with their spouse. The user recently shared a short video detailing the whole process of its construction, with the project itself taking three and a half weeks to complete. The pieces composing the model's frame are mostly made of plastic and wood, and were individually laser cut prior to assembly. The model even contains motors that spin the skull-crushing blades, along with LEDs that light up parts of the weapon, including the custom-engraved skulls that sit in its ammunition port.

With that in mind, Doom: The Dark Ages' awesome variety of weapons gives those interested in trying their hand at arts and crafts plenty of ideas to work with.
