The Doom franchise, in general, has always been about empowering you with hellish weapons to slay powerful demons. Doom The Dark Ages keeps this trend running, offering a wide array of weapons to pick from. Each weapon brings its own playstyle and strategy, incentivizing you to try all to find your ideal playstyle. The Plasma Cycler is one such weapon that absolutely melts through the demons.

The Plasma Cycler in Doom The Dark Ages is a plasma weapon, much like the Accelerator. It is best used to heat up shields and destroy enemies cowering behind them. The weapon can be upgraded further down the line to inflict shock effects, making it even stronger. 

You find the Plasma Cycler during Chapter 5, The Holy City of Aratum. This is one of the larger levels in the game, so you may feel lost if you set out to find it with no direction. We’re here to help you find this plasma-based weapon. In this guide, we shall go over how to get the Plasma Cycler in Doom The Dark Ages.

As stated earlier, you find the Plasma Cycler in Doom The Dark Ages during Chapter 5, The Holy City of Aratum. This chapter sees Ahzrak closing in on his goal of obtaining the Heart of Argent. The demon prince brings in Hell Carriers for his assault, and you must head out and destroy them. 

The level begins with the Slayer mounting his dragon and heading to the holy city. The Hell Carriers power the force field around the Cathedral. Push through and take down the first two Hell Carriers. After this, defeat the demon miniboss on your dragon and follow the marker to the third Hell Carrier.

Destroy the Hell Carrier’s defense systems and land inside. Shred through the hordes in your path and make your way toward the carrier’s engine. You will find the Plasma Cycler as a weapon drop just before entering the engine room. Interact with the container beside the door to retrieve the weapon.
