Doom (2016) unused strings

The game Doom (2016) contained a large number of unused strings relating to weapon mods and cut levels. All descriptions are directly from the game's strings, some of which are from the closed multiplayer alpha build.

Unused level

The Doom Slayer, after defeating the cyberdemon, was supposed to go to an unused level named the Electro Tower to open the portal to Hell, instead of the fight transferring into Hell.

Codex entries

The Jump I 

The Electromagnetic Tower was built shortly after construction of the Argent Tower began. The tower amplifies energy siphoned from the nuclear reactors in order to reach the massive terawatt voltages required to create Argent Energy. As impressive as the EM Tower is by conventional standards, it is considered old tech - mechanically unstable and expensive to maintain. It is a vital component in the production of Argent Energy, but it has been the cause of several high casualty industrial accidents. The most common cause of death is overloading the magnetic relays. If too much energy is sent through the EM Tower, the magnetic control bulkheads can fail, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the entire building.

The Jump II 

You may have heard about a recent incident at the EMT involving a Tier 3 advocate throwing a Tier 2 advocate into the Electromagnetic coil, resulting in death. As an advocate you are encouraged to express your rage as you see fit. While your actions will not be censured, you must remember to set an example to those at lower Tiers. With Tier 3 advocacy comes responsibility and the tone you set means a lot to the younger disciples. We must also remember that the EM Tower, while a relic of the past for forward thinking disciples, is an essential component in our operation. It should not be used for exacting revenge. If you wish to release your anger, we have many subjects awaiting experimentation, punishment and cleansing in the Lazarus Labs. You can vent your rage and further the cause at the same time.
