  • Try not to use Doctor Doom's Arcane Gauntlets at anything farther than medium range due to this weapon's slow projectile speed and bullet drop.
  • Doctor Doom's Arcane Gauntlets can be used in conjunction with a Shockwave Grenade to deal damage from an unexpected angle.
  • Doctor Doom's Arcane Gauntlets can be especially useful in early-game scenarios due to their unlimited ammo reserve.
