Dave Oshry, founder of New Blood Interactive posted a video on Twitter showing off the cut weapon. He even left a follow up with details on the console commands if you want to give it a try for yourself (note that you will need to use Cheat Engine on PC to be able to do it). I reckon that pistol could’ve been pretty useful had it ended up in the game properly. Sometimes when you’re low on ammo you just need a little pea-shooter to deal with some of the squishier enemies, though admittedly braining them with a shotgun feels a lot more satisfying (actually wait there’s a cool chainsaw too, I’ve changed my mind, pistols suck). Doom Eternal is still fab without a pistol, though - in fact, judging from how much Matt gushes about the Super Shotgun in his Doom Eternal review, I’m not entirely convinced the game needs multiple weapons anyway. “The Super Shotgun comes with a grappling hook. It reels you in towards enemies, but it doesn’t mess with your momentum, and you can pair it with a rune that slows down time,” he wrote. “Slow-motion grappling hook drive-bys are a thing in Doom Eternal, and I implore you to indulge in them.”
