Doom: The Dark Ages is out this week, and like previous games in the series, its protagonist is wearing a very fashionable suit of armor to battle. The Doom Slayer is instantly recognizable thanks to his hulking physique and signature battlesuit, which has been tweaked once again to match the medieval themes of the new Doom game. But what would that armor look like in real life? Very cool, and very cumbersome for the person inside it. But mostly cool.

YouTuber Emily the Engineer–who specializes in 3D prints and builds on her channel–was tasked with bringing the Doom Slayer’s armor to life by Bethesda, as the company sent her the official game-model files to use for this ambitious project. What followed was a Herculean effort to get the files ready for 3D-printing, a mind-numbing amount of sanding, painting, and figuring out how to fit into a suit of armor that looked like it was designed for Reacher actor Alan Ritchson to wear.

The end result is still impressive, even if moving around in the costume is a bit on the cumbersome side because of the sheer number of armor pieces here. The final build is quite intimidating, and if you had something like this on display in your home, it would make for an instant neck-turner.

While most of us don’t have access to a small army of 3D printers, you can pick up an official Doom Slayer replica helmet. Priced at $175, it features LED light effects, an adjustable strap, and it looks like it was ripped straight from the game. It also comes with a Doom keycard replica and three woven patches as extras.

Doom: The Dark Ages launches on May 15–or right now if you preordered the Premium or Collector’s Editions for 48-hour early access–for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Bethesda and
