> So besides your pitchfork, what tools are you going to use take your Satan-spawn ex-buddies out? Well, when it comes to weaponry, 3D Realms is preparing some very inventive twists for the Blood arsenal.

> The most recently completed weapon is the napalm cannon. Lobbing out fireballs of the sticky, flammable stuff, the cannon can set foes aflame and do concussion damage in a wider area. For a pocket-powered, more personal blast of heat, you can use a can of aerosol hair spray and a lighter for a flamethrower straight from beauty school hell.

> And since you are in the realm of the supernatural, why not conjure up a little damage? Grab a voodoo doll and a needle and stick it to those nasty creatures. But not all weapons work equally--while effective on all the dread inhabitants, bad mojo works best on zombies and other undead freaks.

> Tolkien said that black magic always comes back to hurt the user, a warning you might want to keep in mind when wielding the multipurpose Hellstaff. As a long-range weapon, the staff fires blasts of ectoplasm capable of killing and/or paralyzing opponents. If used as a close-range weapon, this bad boy can suck the soul out of an opponent faster than a Hello, Larry rerun. Stolen souls replenish the staff's ectoplasm supply, and that's important; if the staff is fired without any ectoplasm, your own health will be used to supply the charge.

> Other weapons include a cool-looking Tommy gun, the now de rigueur shotgun, and flares, which can be used to signal friend or foe, and can also melt the armor off your bothersome opponents.
