The BFG-9000 was developed in the Advanced Research Complex's BFG Division, with a single initial prototype being produced. It was evolved from the first successful Argent weapon design, the [[Plasma rifle (Doom 2016)|plasma rifle]], and is distinguished by making the most efficient use of the energy form yet known. The streams of Argent energy released by the weapon are attracted by other sources of the energy, which are typically demons or humans with Argent beacon implants, and thus behave in a guided manner. Upon contact, the streams release all their stored energy in a fraction of a second. This boils the fat and bodily fluids of such targets, which usually results in a subsequent full-body explosion. | The BFG-9000 was developed in the Advanced Research Complex's BFG Division, with a single initial prototype being produced.

These included the generation of Argent waves, lasers, and spheres, each with potentially useful but misdirected effects. |
After being deployed into production, it was declared the "greatest triumph of the Ascension" by the [[UAC]] cult on the [[Mars]] base, practically being worshipped as a representation of the twisted philosophy being espoused in the period before the demonic invasion was unleashed by [[Olivia Pierce]]. Its use was restricted to Tier 3 advocates, and those who could not yet use it were suggested to either envision the day they would gain access, or, most unbelievably, that they might get the chance to be killed by its "majestic" and "invigorating" touch. | After being deployed into production, it was declared the "greatest triumph of the Ascension" by the [[UAC]] cult on the [[Mars]] base, practically being worshipped as a representation of the twisted philosophy being espoused in the period before the demonic invasion was unleashed by [[Olivia Pierce]].
