pretty sure these are just scraps from his old suit and doomguy made his new suit with it.
Response from Xous54:
This is the canon explanation. To quote Hugo from this interview:
Let's talk about the slayer himself. You guys gave him an upgrade...a few upgrades.
HM: It's the evolution of who he was in Doom 2016. He's still the same guy, but fictionally speaking, he is constantly modifying his armor. Many people call out: If he is this ancient warrior who has been in this eternal struggle between good and evil, why does his armor look modern? There's a good answer for that. He's changing his armor all of the time. He's upgrading it. Superheroes do it. That's a part of that genre. We think of him like a superhero. When he upgrades his stuff, he does it with efficiency in mind. From a gameplay perspective, we always think of that first.
It's also worth remembering that the 2016 Praetor Suit had Hayden's Tether system forcefully installed on it, which is something Doomguy probably doesn't want anymore given Hayden's betrayal. It ultimately didn't matter for the events within Eternal, but who knows how often it was/could have been used against Doomguy in the years between the two games.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3lmpaatr2wlx6lx5fvsjuilh/bafkreib7jxdz24lq3lw3kx32sb422bv5mn7cipwo4h3dpscpwkdohqns7y)
