The Haste sphere is a new powerup that appears in Doom (2016). The Haste powerup increases both the player's movement speed and the firing speed of the weapon in use.

In-Game Description

UAC REPORT FILE BSKQL4E9

This sphere invigorates the imbiber with lightning speed. Once broken, this sphere releases a charged cloud of Soul-Breaker energy which forms a powerful (albeit brief) exoskeleton that charges and accelerates all natural movement. While the effects are brief, the speed that a "hastened" subject can reach is breathtaking. The heart rate also increased dramatically, ultimately resulting in myocardial rupture. The heart, quite literally, explodes.

Trivia

  • The Haste sphere is based on the powerup of the same name seen in Quake 3 Arena, which was also developed by Id Software.
