Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
I'm sorry, but... what was the point of introducing these two buttons? They're not adding any actual new reactions, there were already other buttons with the same exact function as these.

"Grab the minigun, there are demons here to smite"

...

UTTER DECLINE. There are no miniguns in Doom! It really should read:

"Grab the CHAINGUN" or even better, MUCH better: "Grab the SUPER SHOTGUN" Ideally it should also be a picture of the super shotgun, and not a Cacodemon.

...And that new artistic button is indeed superfluous. I would also consider it a negative rating based on how it looks - which probably isn't the intent.

Know your lore, heathen:

"If the Doom chaingun is associated with real weaponry, it is a Gatling-style weapon with rotating barrels similar to a minigun. An actual chain gun only has a single barrel and uses an electric motor to drive a chain connected to the bolt assembly, moving it back and forth to load, fire, extract, and eject ammo cartridges.

The weapon's classic first-person sprites are based off of a toy minigun called the Tootsietoy Ol' Painless.

The weapon was originally an assault rifle or submachine gun-type weapon in the Doom alpha, but was redesigned into a slow-firing rotary-barrel gatling gun to give it immediate visual differentiation from other weapons, as well as to give it its own distinct style."
