Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms label and developer Anshar Studios unleashed a new trailer for Painkiller at today’s Galaxies Showcase, giving a front-row look at the wide range of destructive weaponry coming to this modern reimagining of the classic action-shooter, including weapons inspired by the franchise’s origins. Check out the arsenal of jaw-dropping punishment that awaits when Painkiller releases this fall on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam!
In Painkiller, you’ll unleash hell with seven bonebreaking, flesh-ripping weapons. Each weapon offers primary and alternative fire modes, elemental effects such as fire, ice, electro and kinetic, and are upgradable with different abilities to provide unique bonus effects:
- Electrodriver: Barrage enemies with rapid-firing shurikens that bounce off hard surfaces
- Stakegun: Hurls high-damage stakes that can impale foes from long range
- SMG: Unleashes loads of ammo in short, rapid-fire bursts
- Handcannon: Decimate enemies from long range with deadly precision
- Shotgun: Spits destructive pellets at short range that can damage and stagger multiple foes
- Rocket Launcher: Discharges a rocket projectile with a devastating blast radius that can stagger even heavy enemies
- The titular Painkiller, a versatile weapon with a brutal melee attack that hooks onto enemies and shreds them to pieces while refilling your ammo
