Location: Kadingir Sanctum, Argent Facility – Destroyed. This weapon can pin down. I liked the Shield mod for the Chaingun more than the Turret Mode. The Turret has insane damage, and it's not THAT bad on bullet use overall. But the lowered mobility makes you an easy target for every projectile. It's best used to just tear up the Super Heavy demons but aside from that the regular Chaingun does the job just as well. The Chaingun returns to Doom Eternal with a new look. It no longer requires a spinup time to fire at maximum speed, and it appears to use the same EMG rounds as the Pistol from Doom 2016. Its Mobile Turret mod also returns to the fray, only it has four sets of barrels for maximum firepower. It also has a 'gun shield' mod that blocks projectiles.
With Mobile Turret, Chaingun deploys 3 more barrels to a total of 4, dishing out huge amount of damage in a short time. This can shred most enemies very quickly but also consumes a lot of your ammo in a short span of time. Frontal Defense With Energy Shield Energy Shield, when deployed, will absorb all frontal damage for a short while. Mobile Turret Hold the Weapon Mod button to transform the weapon barrels into a mobile turret. It will stall if it overheats.

The M220 Chaingun makes its return as a weapon in Doom Eternal, having been updated with a sleeker appearance similar to the pistol. Similar to the previous game, it shares its ammunition with the heavy cannon. The mobile turret mod from its previous incarnation returns as well, appearing to function the same as it did last time. In addition, due to the loss of the spin-up time from 2016[citation needed], the second mod is now a shield as demonstrated in the QuakeCon 2019 Doomhunter clip.

Doom Eternal features a wide array of powerful weapons, but the chaingun is without a doubt one of the best weapons in the game. It’s a straight upgrade over Doom 2016’s chaingun in every way, firing faster and dealing more damage, which is perfect for Doom Eternal’s more challenging encounters. The chaingun is acquired early in Doom Eternal’s campaign, but you can miss it if you don’t grab it before the mission ends. Thankfully, it’s hidden in plain sight, and the only way to miss the chaingun is to deliberately ignore it as you play through the level. This is how to get the chaingun in Doom Eternal.
How to Get the Chaingun in Doom Eternal
The chaingun is obtained in Doom Eternal’s fifth mission, Super Gore Nest. This mission sends you to a massive gore nest that is one of the leading factors playing into the demonic invasion of earth. Super Gore Nest is a fairly lengthy mission, and the chaingun is hidden right in the middle of it. Play through the mission normally until you reach a giant outdoor area with three colored pedestals. You should already have the Yellow Key by this point, so clear the area of demons and insert the Key into the corresponding yellow slot. You’ll still need a red and blue key to proceed with the mission, so enter the newly opened doorway to continue your mission.
As you fight your way through the newly opened passage, you’ll come across a small room with a few demons inside. In this room, you should see the chaingun behind a glass window, sealed away by a locked door. This door will be unlocked later on, so just keep moving for now. Make your way through the toxic sludge, learning about the Rad Suit along the way. Eventually, following the main mission path will lead you to the Red Key. The passage behind the Red Key will open once you pick it up. Continue onward and you should reach the room with the chaingun shortly. The door will then unlock, allowing you to obtain the chaingun.
