It is the only original DOOM weapon that will not be usable in DOOM: Reawakened.

Cell charges are used as ammunition and for powering up the weapon.

I shoots a rapid fire of blue luminous energy called plasma, which is capable of burning any foes in its path. Around that time, the Plasma Gun was still undergoing experimentation and did not receive proper field testing until one was obtained by Doomguy during the demonic outbreak. The first plasma gun’s design was based on a toy gun, but in 2016 it became something more alien, highlighting its futuristic ammo. Its place of origin was the Deimos Science Facility sometime between the years 20. The plasma gun for instance, has made several changes since it was first introduced in the original DOOM, but these changes have been made in isolation, unaffected by the whims of the shooter genre at large. I was one of the first energy-fired weapons designed by the Union Aerospace Corporation. Mad Squirrel Mods decided to dub the original Plasma Gun as the Plasma Gun Mk. Meanwhile, the Plasma Gun from the original games is said to return in DOOM: Eternal. What makes this mod so nifty is that once you install the apk files and open up the launcher on your Quest, everything is. In the franchise's few reincarnations, the weapon itself had been changed in appearance, starting with the Plasma Gun in DOOM 3. It was like a 90s-era gold mine of bloody, gory, pixelated violence in VR. This was the very first Plasma Gun introduced to the DOOM franchise.
