The '''static cannon''' (also known as the '''static rifle''') is a [[multiplayer]] [[weapon]] that appears in the {{timeline|2016}} [[Doom (2016)|Doom]] gamein [[multiplayer]] and [[SnapMap]] modes. Powered by static electricity, the static cannon is a slow-firing beam rifle which, in addition to using typical ammunition, has batteries which are charged by the player's motion - the player must sprint to increase the weapon's charge level and attack power. When standing still, the weapon's charge will slowly drain. It has been compared by ''PC Gamer'' journalists to a no-scope sniper rifle requiring on-the-move accuracy.{{cite web|author=Birnbaum, Ian|title=Hands-on: Doom's coolest new gun is powered by sprinting|url=http://www.pcgamer.com/hands-on-dooms-coolest-new-gun-is-powered-by-sprinting/|publication=PC Gamer|publishdate=22 July 2015|accessdate=20 October 2015}} Its modified firing mode allows a zoomed in view for long-range sniping.
