Yeah I had found a pretty consistent way to kill the Hell Guards. The second round of the fight against two of them at once is over in 60 seconds if you target down the one that uses the staff with the SSG. Then it's only a few hits on the melee one until it's over.

#

But still, I remember it kicking my ass the first playthrough

untold stirrup
#

The second phase was actually pretty piss easy because I holo-swapped(albiet very inconsistently LMAO megalel ) through it with RL, Gauss, and SSG as well as explosive shot

#

also, PB or SM?

polar lake
#

Seige Mode all the way. I always save up 9 upgrade tokens so I can instantly start working on the mastery

#

Took me until my second playthrough to realize how broken that mod is

#

Basically a mini BFG

#

Should call it the BFG-8000

untold stirrup
#

It's always Siege Mode with people I find ;-;

#

seems as if no one appreciates PB these days

polar lake
#

Don't get me wrong, I actually love precision bolt, but I can't deny that I usually find seige mode to be more effective. I wish I could have two Gauss Cannons just so I could use both

halcyon bear
#

Seige mode melts if you know how to time it

untold stirrup
#

or if you use DKSMS

#

Siege Mode too op

elder meadow
#

@untold stirrup so I did a thing with the Cyberdemon track

#

And ran it through a spectrogram

#

Towards the portion that plays in-game at the UAC Facility before you rip out the Argent Accelerator in its chest and go to hell, I played the song and it shows 666 and a pentagram as far as 4, maybe 8 times in counting.

untold stirrup
#

that's interesting

#

I have the screenshot as proof

Ever hear of Slad3?

Anyone knows the fastest way to find players in multiplayer ?

untold stirrup
#

well...

#

I completed DOOM 2016

#

Ultra-Violence

#

I probably will go back to get all secrets

#

before starting a Nightmare run

#

and then after a few NM runs, then UN

elder meadow
#

Nice

#

Hello

#

I need help getting in a secret room

viral garnet
#

now that's a channel i gotta add to my list, i like SLAD3 and SPC

#

which song in particular makes you feel that way?

fiery yoke
frozen wave
#

Nvm i got it

#

It was the classic doom room in
Argent energy tower

fiery yoke
#

Ah ok

royal chasm
#

Oh, and The Only Thing They Fear as well as Harbinger

halcyon bear
#

Cant go wrong with harbinger

frozen wave
#

How do i get the blue skull

flint dune
fiery hearth
#

How do I play online? I have the switch.

frozen wave
#

Nvm

#

Ive played before its just been like 2 years

wispy verge
#

sounds weird

untold stirrup
#

I'll listen to metro's mixes rn

frozen wave
#

So in mission 6, that area where you first encounter the Baron of hell

#

There is a part of the map hidden behind a wall i can't get to

#

Do you know how to get their

untold stirrup
royal chasm
#

There's a little dark cave nearby with a lever. Pull it

frozen wave
#

Already did that

royal chasm
#

Then it's open lmao

frozen wave
#

Like i said i already did all that

untold stirrup
#

Is there anyone else who has sucessfully finished UN No HUD besides ChocolateVanille and Byte Me?

#

No crosshairs too

royal chasm
#

Probably many who aren't like on YT or whatever

halcyon bear
#

Go through all that for your own personal glory. I dig it

untold stirrup
#

Seems like an interesting challenge

#

But to actually do that you need to do a few NM no hud runs first

halcyon bear
#

I'll do that for my third practice. See what it's like

untold stirrup
#

No HUD is pretty interesting

#

No markers, no health indication, no ammo count

halcyon bear
#

I did it with wolfenstein for the engima unlock. It's bascailly 100 times more cinematic

untold stirrup
#

Probably gonna start my first proper NM run tonight

#

Or should I first get all secrets on my UV run first

#

I think I skipped a secret in VCP and all secrets in ADN

#

That last train room in VCP is pretty hard tbh

wispy verge
#

It was interesting for sure

viral garnet
wispy verge
#

I cant aim to begin with and having no crosshair didnt help

viral garnet
wispy verge
#

for me it never really sounded good

wispy verge
untold stirrup
#

Sure

#

If I wanted to spice it up I could also do No HUD

#

100% NM doesn't seem too hard

#

I know all the secrets in the first 3 levels I think

#

Just gotta commit to memorizing pretty much the rest

royal chasm
#

100% NM is easy

#

you can replay levels, so

wispy verge
#

Love how I remember every secret once Im in a level, but I cant remember anything said on a math lesson

untold stirrup
#

I could try doing that as my ultimate goal for 2016, buuuut i do want to see if I can get Eternal to run on my default MacBook settings, and if I can, play through that and get through UN

#

Maybe UN on TAG 1 and 2 as well

wispy verge
#

Because of the fact that I havent really been able to play Eternal, Im just gonna begin my first actual playthrough on Nightmare

#

hopefully I get there in the next 50 years

untold stirrup
#

I'm not totally sure if I can actually even get eternal to run

#

Because I've seen errors about drivers with Eternal

#

And the first time I booted up 2016, I was in the 10-20 FPS range

#

But I mean I had to go into game to adjust the settings

#

While eternal just has em on the starting menu

halcyon bear
untold stirrup
#

Alright then

#

Since I didn't get any secrets in Argent D'Nur I can retouch up my skills and actually not kill the Spider Mastermind using the BFG Cheese

#

Actually, I might master MM and use Siege when I reload a checkpoint to see how much of a difference it makes against the mastermind

#

Since well...

#

Sylar did manage to delete a cyberdemon in 7 seconds with double tap BFg tech, RL + Siege and SSG

#

Alright wtf... ByteMe's FPS Academy strats are so cheese

#

I love it tbh

autumn tree
#

You don't have to make a game first. It's just in a weird place

untold stirrup
#

Wow tf

#

Never spotted that

halcyon bear
chrome basin
#

double bfg is legit imo since it's utilizing intended mechanics. quickswap exploits and such are the true cheese

#

double bfg is an easy tactic that makes a lot of boss fights trivial, for sure though

#

using the weapon wheel after firing the bfg on the other hand is so shameful you could never come back from that, lol

halcyon bear
#

Absolutely shameful. Quickswap takes some skill at least

urban ice
#

Ey all

#

I love doom 2016 haha

rich merlin
#

I finally got all my runes and all weapons. Rich get richer and Gauss Cannon are just fucking Op

untold stirrup
rich merlin
#

Now I understand why people talked so much about the Gauss Cannon. Such a cool and powerful weapon

untold stirrup
#

and probably vacuum, the range of health it caan absorb is frankly pretty good

#

Ammo Boost is obsolete with RGR

#

unless you have the mastery rune

#

which gives BFG ammo

#

Seek And Destroy is also a busted rune

#

need to get away from a baron and you see an imp across the room? pull out the chainsaw and chainsaw it lmao

#

its range is actually busted

#

well then, time to grind the spider mastermind fight or just get the final secret in VCP and the secrets in ADN to complete DOOM 2016 UV 100%

rich merlin
#

I just feel like 3-4 weapons are really good and the rest are ok. Maybe I just like too much the micromissiles, SSG, rockets and gauss

untold stirrup
#

Stun bomb

#

Mobile turret

#

Stun bomb + Siege is busted

#

Also, BFG increases damage factor against demons for a short time

#

For those that survive the bfg impact

#

Like boss monsters

halcyon bear

#

There's so much i still have to learn to be honest. First playthrough right now. I just finished Titans Realm 😊

untold stirrup
#

Especially when you pair it with DKSMS...

#

Sigh

#

DKSMS, so good yet so bad

#

It's a love hate relationship

#

I just finished doom 2016 trying to get as much secret stuff as i could

#

Now I will move on to Doom Eternal

untold stirrup
#

Tried to take down the spider mastermind as fast as possible with maximum cheese

#

took me 1:14 :/

#

if only I abused the double tap and bfg cheese properly

#

oh shit i just realized im missing all secrets in necropolis

spice shard
#

is anyone else really bad at navigating

halcyon bear
#

No

red adder
#

Finally beat Doom 2016!!

#

And feeling pretty good

jolly geyser
#

Nice bro

#

Glad that you enjoyed it

elder meadow
#

Well done, now beat it on a harder difficulty

red adder
#

Guess so lol

#

Had an absolute blast though, so once my adrenalin levels return from the dangerously high state they're in now I'll start a harder run

snow heron
#

I think I’m gonna start a DOOM 2016 Brawler Mode run for the hell of it. A new challenge should be fun

supple willow
#

I have a question for any and all who have the answer

chrome basin
#

what is the question, heh

untold stirrup
supple willow
#

So I’ve been revisiting DOOM 2016 and I was trying to access the photo mode

#

I looked in the settings where it should be but it’s not there

supple willow
#

My question is how do I get it?

untold stirrup
#

I uh neven messed around with photo mode so I can't really help you, sorry

fiery yoke
#

Gotta replay a mission to do photo mode

supple willow
#

Alright that makes sense thanks

fiery yoke
#

Albeit the photo mode in 2016 is super primitive so don't expect much cool stuff, or any slayer shots as it hide the player model.

wispy verge
#

I thought it got removed or something

steep vector
#

hello

#

is there anyone who still plays doom 2016 multiplayer? If so how do I get invited to a server? I tried the "find match" thing but it just rang out.

untold stirrup
#

and for those that are, they're hardcore sweats

snow heron
harsh cave
#

it’s a shame, fun multiplayer

inner raven
#

Do people still use snapmap at least? I'm shocked that didn't come back for eternal

#

Anyway, I finished 2016's campaign yesterday. Just need three more weapon masters (Gauss cannon and the remote detonator for the rocket launcher) and finish the challenges and secrets for the last level

flint dune
untold stirrup
#

but lock on is better for burst combos

inner raven
#

Yeah, I used lock on more often.

#

Just gotta find a good level to grind the masters out. Im having trouble finding a good place tonget three monsters to one shot with it and the gauss cannon

fluid mica
#

Otherwise I think there are 3 zombies in a row in the second level, you might need to coax them a bit

inner raven
#

Yeah. Honestly, this is when the challenges got annoying, you have to wait and line up shots to get them to count

untold stirrup
#

you can cheese the masteries because it's saved there individually

#

it's not part of the level

#

so just find a good place like in advanced research complex last arena

#

and then cheese it

#

that's how I got both the double shot and increased payload masteries

#

I could've also easily gotten Siege mastery but I don't like Siege

#

I might make exceptions on either NM or UN though

#

srsly...

#

I'll try PB first out on NM

#

I like it better anyway, I just have to get used to implementing it in combos

#

it's funny how you can get it in argent tower which is the 4th mission iirc

jolly geyser
#

what the fuck

#

lmfao

viral garnet
#

is vfr good

#

royal chasm
#

that's a shame because I am very picky about my VR

#

and was hoping that was good

halcyon bear
#

If you want perfect vr then 3 is where its at

royal chasm
#

I heard that didn't adapt well either but it is on my list as well

#

I don't have oculus because fuck FB but they say you can mod it to work with the Index

halcyon bear
royal chasm
#

idk what that is

halcyon bear
#

Yeah

#

I've been playing that shit every day since I got it

#

Like 3 weeks ago

#

The fist time I literally just looked out windows and looked at pipes and stuff spooky

snow heron
#

It’s the little things in VR that can fuck over a game or make it better

royal chasm
#

Still a fun game but wow it needs a QoL overhaul

snow heron
royal chasm
#

Alyx is the best VR experience, full stop

snow heron
royal chasm
#

Have you ever hit it

untold stirrup
royal chasm
#

I haven't played Doom 3 VR but I am willing to bet a whole dollar that a game specifically designed for a specific headset specifically for VR that has no nonVR option is gonna beat a port of a 2004 game

#

A nonVR Alyx would be a thoroughly mediocre game

#

And the player would be wildly OP, because you can move MUCH faster with a mouse and keyboard than you can with VR controllers

#

And because with mouse and keyboard you can aim way way better

#

No crosshairs in VR

halcyon bear
royal chasm
#

a whole dollar I will bet on this

halcyon bear
#

The range of movement and UI alone is amazing

#

And the sound upgrade

royal chasm
#

I'm almost done doom 2. then doom 64 and then doom 3 vr

halcyon bear
#

Haptic feedback

#

It was definitely a project made from love

royal chasm
#

i mean

#

carmack ported it so... yeah

halcyon bear
#

The pc version has mods and visual upgrades but the ps version is all around designed in a way that keeps me coming back. I doubt I'll be able to play normal doom 3 again

#

Anways doom 2016 is my baby

snow heron

made it back to Kadingir on UN. Let's see if things go better this time

untold stirrup
#

nice

halcyon bear
polar lake
polar lake
#

Oh yes

untold stirrup
#

try holo swapping too if you're on KBM

#

use any bit of cheese you can squeeze out

polar lake
#

What's holo swapping?

untold stirrup
#

the fastest swapping method in DOOM

#

People have deleted first phase cyberdemon in 7 seconds with it

polar lake
#

Is that the thing with getting the instant charge on siege mode?

untold stirrup
#

it's so fast that the internal weapon cooldown hardcoded into the game is surpassed by the weapon swapping speed

untold stirrup
#

here's the video

polar lake
#

Thanks! I'll take a look at it and give it a try while I'm practicing the next level

untold stirrup
#

practice in an empty level or field

#

and make your you have proper ammo too or have Ammo Boost to chainsaw a foder next time

#

with the swapping speed, it can chew through ammo

#

baron of hell deleted in like 2 seconds with holo and mod swapping

#

Bro i keep coming up a few points short for gold no matter how many combos i pull off. Any tips for arcade?

#

Like literally i came up by 100 points short of gold yesterday

#

Ive tried everything i can think of.

untold stirrup
#

oh yeah I see now, in arcade

#

I've never actually fiddled with arcade before, but are you supposed to kill demons as fast as possible?

halcyon bear
modern rivet
#

holoswapping out of dksms provides amazing linking potential

royal chasm
#

holoswapping is too much for me. I'm not THAT into doom lol

modern rivet
#

it's just one extra input

halcyon bear
#

Yeah its not that complicated

modern rivet
halcyon bear
#

Meltsatisfacdoom

chrome basin
#

been a while since i did arcade, but i know you can get slayer (hidden rank higher than gold) without any cheese, and with simple normal quickswapping

#

don't use bfg since you won't get more than one bonus medal from all those kills, and if you kill everything at once it'll stop new stuff from spawning i think

#

and if you're about to finish a section before moving on to the next one, try to leave something alive near the exit and then stack the speed runes before glory killing it, then you'll have more time to speed to the next section to continue the chain bonus on the next smallfry you see

#

i did my slayer run on UN and without any exploits, so it's certainly possible

#

you get more points on higher difficulties, you want to get as many medals as possible for each kill (which usually means stunning and headshotting them, iirc), you want to get the relic bonuses immediately for max points (there's a glitch where they can pass through walls/floors at max fps, so limit your fps to 180 at the most via rtss or something), and you def want to keep your chain bonus going

halcyon bear
#

Actually haven't tried it on UN. Smart though. I think I'll give it a go in a bit

elder meadow
#

So, I've been playing doom 2016 for a while, and I wanna check how long I've been playing, but, not only xbox doesnt track the playtime of this game, but I checked in the save file and it only says at what date I last played, but it doesnt say how many hours ive been playing this (and exophase doesnt track that, either). What can I do to check the playtime of doom 2016? 🤔

halcyon bear
#

Honestly for console I kept personal track. I'm sure I'm still off a 100 hours or so when I forgot. I think the new consoles tell you though. Other than that I think you're out of luck. Maybe try to remember how many playthroughs you've done

royal chasm
#

I have about 100, maybe 150 hours in doom 16. Fuckin love that game. But I'm coming up on 300 in Eternal now lmao

halcyon bear
#

Nice ! Love to see it

untold stirrup
#

I think I have about 24 hours into the game

royal chasm
#

The combat loop in eternal is just nearly perfect

halcyon bear
#

Last time I remember it was maybe 1800 but I'm off by alot either for or against because I did a binge with my cousin one weekend

untold stirrup
royal chasm
#

It took me a solid year just to figure out weapon swap at all

halcyon bear
#

I've been playing 2016 since 2016. I played once a week since then except this little while with my classic stuff getting in the way

halcyon bear
royal chasm
#

My first playthrough I got the mastery for mobile turret and said "ok cool I'm done"

#

Now I never even touch mobile turret, I hate it lol

#

Actually I never use the chaingun in '16 at all

halcyon bear
#

There's a few things in 2016 you don't really need to use but are pretty fun. Chaingun is one of them

fluid mica
#

Yeah, honestly I will never care to minmax how I play

#

I just want to play to have fun

royal chasm
#

I was so embarrassed. I was playing Eternal on nightmare and died twice in cultist base. Deleted the save file and restarting that run lol

fluid mica
#

I’ll beat ultra nightmare having fun, not gaming the system

#

When I started eternal I wasn’t having fun with the ammo stuff so I just bumped down the difficulty, which I think actually made it less enjoyable rather than fix any of my problems

royal chasm
#

One of the biggest issues transitioning from 16 to Eternal is that in 16 the chainsaw is the Crucible and not an ammo source, because ammo pickups are so plentiful

#

But if you just forget the idea of chainsawing Heavy Demons and only do like imps and stuff, you'll be fine

fluid mica
#

Yeah I figured that out, I just don’t really like it

#

But eh, not much we can do about it now

royal chasm
#

One real strength of Eternal though is that you get all the weapons and mods by Taras Nabad

#

So you have nekravol, nekravol 2, urdak, and final sin all as a god tier slayer with like, only 1 or 2 masteries you haven't finished

#

In 16 I felt like I was still grinding runes and weapon masteries right up until the last level

fluid mica
#

That’s an RPG argument lmao

#

Specialization for the whole game vs jack of all trades by the end

Hey I really wanted to try the multiplayer. Whats the best way to actually find a match?

So, tried UAC Nightmare today

#

Yeah, this really is the "i fucking hate imps" difficulty

royal chasm
#

Correct

#

Those imp fireballs are no joke

torpid swallow
#

I beat the game on Nightmare with only the pistol. Took hundreds of deaths and over a year lmao.

#

Also, I'm trying to get the last of the mp achievements and I need a fourth. If anyone's up for it sometime this week, @ me.

torpid swallow
#

Thank you. The worst enemies were cacodemons and cyber-mancubi. Everything else you get used to dealing with pretty easily.

halcyon bear
#

I hope you got a caco spin death or 2

untold stirrup
#

speaking of cacodemons...

#

when you drop down the skull in necropolis, if you don't double jump to cushion your landing, you'll play the impact compensation animation while the cacodemons are still shooting at you, so there is a high chance you might die

happened to me the first time

Unpopular Opinion: I prefer Doom 2016's praetor suit to Doom Eternal's praetor suit

untold stirrup
#

eh not really unpopular

quartz mauve
#

I think everyone likes the 2016 suit better

shy creek
#

ok then

#

here's a slightly more unpopular opinion

#

Doom 2016 soundtrack > Doom Eternal soundtrack

what level are you guys I am only 24 in multiplayer

untold stirrup
untold stirrup
shy creek
#

but keep in mind, its only a smidge better cause both are incredible

halcyon bear
#

Both suits are great

#

Classic 64 2016 eternal. They all are amazing suits

#

Eternal suit is 2016 mixed with predator. Can't go wrong with 2 things I love

shy creek
#

and also some elements from the classic suit

#

i just prefer the shade of green from the 2016 suit

halcyon bear
#

Oh it's a great green color for sure

shy creek
#

Always prefer darker shades of green

Rip and tear is the best music in video james

wispy verge
#

Ill have to disagree ngl

fickle spear
#

so i reinstalled doom 2016 to play its multiplayer but im running into problems and would like to know if anyone can help,

  1. If I use Vulkan my screen flashes white but i have constant 200FPS
  2. If I use OpenGL the performance is more than just poor around 40FPS
  3. If I use either one and then pick up the Demonrune my game goes down to 5FPS
shy creek
#

Go for the 2nd option

fickle spear
#

what

#

its not options all of those things are what happens

shy creek
#

...o

fickle spear
#

1 with vulkan 2 with opengl and 3 with either one

#

and as you can imagine none of those are good for the multiplayer

Gotcha

ancient comet
ancient comet
#

But you know what nobody likes about doom eternal?

#

The beggining speech

#

Y'know king novik 'n' stuff

#

But really it was so boring

#

The doom 2016 was simple and short, and that made it so menacing and savage.

#

"They are rage... Brutal... Without mercy... But you... You will be worse"

#

Are words that make you fall from your chair

#

Followed up by rip and tear until its done

shy creek
#

Doom eternal may be the better game, but I like aspects of doom 2016 a little bit more

#

Such as the way secrets are spread in the levels. They feel more part of the world as opposed to doom eternal’s more cartoony question mark secrets

ancient comet
#

Overall they scratched the whole horror from eternal

#

There is nothing scary about it

#

Doom 2016 had still some horror aspects

shy creek
#

Ain’t necessarily a bad thing, cause doom is more known for its action than its horror

ancient comet
#

Yeah

shy creek
#

Can be scary sometimes tho

ancient comet
#

Like i played doom 3 today and i see exacly what they were mainly going for

#

Which is horror and not action

#

Vice versa for doom '16 and eternal

ancient comet
shy creek
#

Yea, but they feel more like a part of the world

ancient comet
#

True

shy creek
#

I also find the animations in doom 2016 a little bit better than eternal

ancient comet
#

In what sense? Do you mean glory kills or cutscenes? Or both?

shy creek
#

Especially the berserk animations, my god

ancient comet
#

Ohhoho yeah don't even get me started on this

#

The only thing that eternal does better then 2016 is the gameplay

#

And that an important thing

#

The most important thing in a game is gameplay offcourse

shy creek
#

And also the designs for most of the demons

#

Except the revenant

#

And also the skins

ancient comet
#

Yeah skins are in eternal now lol

#

But they are not stupid dumb shid like in fortnite where you buy cosmetics for real money

shy creek
#

Well you can now, but those were old skins that couldn’t be accessed again after the season ended

#

Plus, it’s optional and purely cosmetic, so it’s fine

A few days ago, I started playing Doom 2016.

It's not too hard, but it's a really good reimagining of Doom!

#

I ran it just to see how it looks and runs on my new computer.

lots of people complained about 2016 being easy on release

I think I'm about halfway through 2016.

#

I decided to start on nightmare difficulty.

#

I've just been doing a level or two a day. It's fun.

guys can anyone give me tips to increase fps in doom 2016 ?

clever stone
#

What are you running it on?

lone nova
#

integrated graphics (dont judge)

untold stirrup
#

nah lmao, i do integrated too

#

first off

clever stone
#

Well, what kind of processor?

steel moon
#

gotta work with what you got after all

untold stirrup
#

every setting on low is an easy way to get fps

steel moon
#

Intel?

untold stirrup
#

second, turn down the resolution

#

third, use console commands

lone nova
#

ye , I have already done that stuff like lowest settings , vulkan , 720p

lone nova

you'll probably need to force it lower than 720

lone nova

Vulkan is a much better processor than OpenGL

oh wait im on drugs my bad

lone nova
untold stirrup
#

then get used to em, oh well MarauderShrug

#

lmao

viral garnet
#

also is it just me or does doom eternal run better than 2016

steel moon
#

is borderless windowed mode a thing on eternal

lone nova
clever stone
#

I run Eternal with RTX, so I can't comment. Runs worse on that front.

untold stirrup
#

no OpenGL

viral garnet
untold stirrup
#

and to give yall a bit on insight, this is my game, run on all default mac settings, everything on low, + a few console commands and vsync disabled

steel moon
#

if it is you maybe able to force the game to fill the screen if the res js still 16 by 9

steel moon
#

worth it

lone nova
untold stirrup
#

also, use these console commands

#

vt_filter 0
vt_maxaniso 1
jobs_numthreads 4(or 2, it depends on how many cores you have)
r_shadowAtlasWidth 32
r_imageAtlasMaxAniso 1

steel moon
#

for that much fps I'd sell my soul to the super shot gun when I get eternal

untold stirrup
#

decreasing the shadows can really help

#

which is what r_shadowAtlasWidth 32 does

#

it gets rid of most shadows

#

and it doesn't affect the game much at all aesthetic wise

Not sure if this belongs more in this channel or eternal’s channel but if I am correct 2016’s last update was 6.66?

polar lake
# untold stirrup so it wouldn't glory kill?

Yeah, it's leg flashes and when change color when I'm close enough, but I never get the action prompt nor does using the actual key do anything, so you can never kill it. I've seen clips of it happening on the Mastermind but never experienced it before.

If you didn’t know. Force closing on UN acts as a crash, so your game will be saved to the last checkpoint.
Again I wouldn’t use this unless you get softlocked or something. It’s better to do UN legit, cheesing it brings no satisfaction.

untold stirrup

cheesing

holo-swapping?

Well, if you consider that cheesing.
I’m mostly talking about game breaking glitches and bypasses.

If the game fucks you I don't see a cheese as a bad thing in that circumstance

Does anyone have any idea how to equip the bfg9000? I managed to kill the spider mastermind without the bfg but now it won't let me do the glory kill because it won't let me equip the weapon.

...you don't need to equip the weapon

#

It's scripted that Doomguy gets the bfg out and kills the Mastermind

But he won't let me kill him !!

I mean, it's stuck there and I hit the e and it doesn't kill it, it doesn't do anything

Oh god it's resolved, restart the game and it's unlocked

also you can kill the boss with no bfg ammo

Unless your rebound it to the E key

the only bugs that I encountered throughout the game were:

  3. Confused Imp - Stuck in the middle of the battlefield for no reason and can't reach you

aside from the railing boost bug killing me a few times before i realized to stay away from railings, and clipping through the floor once while going too fast (glory kill speed/distance runes) on arcade (i managed to save the run by glory killing a new target to clip back through to solid ground), the main bug i recall is a specific hell knight in the last level often having absurdly high health in like 1/3 of my runs

#

would take like 3 minutes to kill. i was worried it would happen during my 100% UN run, but it's not really dangerous, just time-consuming

oops

#

beat the cyberdemon

#

but I'm a dummy and forgot to get the saving throw rune doomguy_dead

only used it once lol

#

its better to try to not get yourself into shitty situations

#

dying is like one of the things that lets you know you just got into one

polar lake
#

Yeah I really just wanted it for security during the boss fights

#

Four more levels and the torment will finally be over

I'm so tired 😩

oh youre doing UN?

good luck out there

wispy verge
polar lake
#

But the drive has been strong lately

#

I feel good about this run, but it's still stressful

wispy verge
#

yeah I get why you would want saving throw there lmao

#

what other runes do you use normally?

halcyon bear
polar lake
#

Also Rich Get Richer

#

Will swap out In Flight Mobility for it for certain fights

polar lake
#

Also important to get mastery for all of them

#

Since you get BFG ammo from demons with the Ammo Boost mastery

#

And the siphon grenade combined with equipment Power makes it easy to get full health and Ammo quickly to exploit rich get richer

wispy verge
# polar lake Equipment Power, Ammo Boost, and In Flight Mobility

I usually use like almost the same set, I dont remember what I usually use instead of Equipment Power though
In my current run I started trying out more runes and got a more health oriented set down. (Equipment Power/Savagery/Seek and Destory) Kinda want to make it my full time set now ngl

#

Seek and Destroy is just straight up OP

polar lake
#

I really like the rune that gives you a speed boost on glory kill, but I just don't glory kill enough in UN to make it worth it

#

Can be great otherwise. Basically perma-haste

halcyon bear
#

Definitely not worth it on un. If I do glory kill its when I know I have the arena secure anyways

polar lake
#

Yep

halcyon bear
#

Rich is cheese for sure. That's a good plan if you're just trying to smash un

polar lake
#

Yeah I still find myself preferring in flight mobility over rich get richer

wispy verge
#

my main issue with RGR is that I just cant keep myself above 100 armour

#

even with siphon

#

although I just started using that

polar lake
#

It's pretty easy to get the mastery shortly after getting it though. Can use a single possessed soldier and let it clip you, then siphon until full

#

Rinse and repeat 12 times

Pinkies are easy to take care of using remote detonation

polar lake
#

Tru

#

Or just stun bomb

untold stirrup
#

I love remote det better than Lock On but lock on has its use in rapid dps combos

halcyon bear
#

This is the way

#

And the stack is fantastic

untold stirrup
#

Shoot a rocket, lock on, shoot 3 more rockets, then 1 last rocket

polar lake
#

Yup

untold stirrup
#

5 rocket barrage

wispy verge
#

Lock On is just more satisfying to use for me

untold stirrup
#

I wonder, how would playing the first arena in eternal like 2016 be

#

No mods at all, no double jump

wispy verge
#

especially because of those rapid fire combos, my god

halcyon bear
#

Rocket hit shotgun Nad hit troll with the dev rounds for fun fuck the glory kill

untold stirrup
#

Remote Detonation is better in terms of pure damage though, since lock on is actually weaker than standard unmodded rockets

halcyon bear
#

Remote definitely is superior

wispy verge
#

love my RL mod journey
lock on -> remote det -> situational

untold stirrup
#

The two mods are definitely situational

#

I'd equip remote detonation most of the time

#

Against a single tanky enemy like a baron i might use lock on for a rapid combo

wispy verge
#

Are there any mod swap animation skips?

ancient comet
#

Remote i use more frequently

untold stirrup
#

Shoot a weapon, press the mod switch button, then immeditaly switch over to another weapon

#

The weapon you mod swapped on will have the next mod in line equipped

polar lake
#

Yeah I've learned the way of the remote detonation

untold stirrup
#

Like a CSG and plasma rifle combo

halcyon bear
#

Bleed definitely helps and if it stacks you're in business

untold stirrup
crude bluff
#

Wow

wispy verge
crude bluff
#

Imma be honest I have never used remote detonation in both 2016 and Eternal

untold stirrup
#

It takes 6 locked on rockets to kill a hell knight

crude bluff
#

Lol

untold stirrup
#

With remote detonation and fully upgraded, it takes 2 to kill one

#

1 even if you have "External Payload" mastery

#

Which fires an extra rocket for the cost of 1

#

I tested this in foundry since I knew there were a lot of hell knights in that level

halcyon bear
#

I was going to say one should do it and even with out that a switch to shotgun can do the trick

untold stirrup
#

Yeah

#

1 rocket to kill a hell knight

#

Pretty good stuff

crude bluff
#

Ohhhh a Hell Knight

#

Well I use Lock On and then micro missile them

#

For a combo

ancient comet
#

for combos i always do triple shot from shotgun and ssg shot

#

i do that on revenants

untold stirrup
#

Micro missiles are best for finishers

#

You can just spam em on a demon and then focus on another one

#

Because it'll eventually kill it

polar lake

Mastered micro missiles plus rich get richer makes for a fun time

untold stirrup
#

True

ancient comet
#

yes

#

what world would that be if rich get richer would be in doot eternal

For revenants, I remember doing heat blast + ssg

elder meadow
#

Oh my god why does the Snapmap feature take so long to looaaddd

Run away fast enough or not give them enough time to charge a fireball

that works?

untold stirrup

Yeah

#

My rune getup is usually Savagery, SAD, and Ammo Boost

#

Since I play aggressively and with no RGR(I dont like it) i chainsaw regularly or to get out of a stick situation for IFs

ancient comet
#

Mine is Seek and destroy, Dazed and confused and Rich get Richer

untold stirrup
#

Yeah, Seek And Destroy or SAD as i like to call it for short

#

SAD is wack with its reach

#

You can chainsaw stuff like half an arena away

#

Blood Fueled also activates on a chainsaw kill

#

So if you have SAD and Blood Fueled, you can get some IFs to take a break, then get out fast enough to not get hit

ancient comet
#

I was thinking about the plasma rifle stun bomb being able to be combo'd when doing ssg + guass

#

like you ssg guass a baron and when he jumps at you you stun bomb him so you don't get hit

Stun a seige is a great combo

#

Using the plasma rifle's rate of fire + stun bomb you can holo swap into DKSMS for huge damage

#

Then proceed to holo swap out of DKSMS

#

And absolutely destroy anything

ancient comet
#

DKSMS more like Cheating

#

with RGR

untold stirrup
#

This is why I have a love/hate relationship with Siege Mode

#

Holo swapping is great tho

polar lake
#

Yeah I gave holo swapping a try. The only issue for me is the key bindings I have set up aren't optimal for that. Gotta stretch my pinky to get the equipment button, so don't that constantly would probably start to hurt after a while

#

And I'm worried about trying to mess with my bindings and then muscle memory taking over at the wrong spot

chrome basin
#

your issue is not with siege mode

#

it is with manipulating an unintended exploit for instant-siege fire

#

there's a difference

#

it's bizarre you complain about one such technique while worshipping the other

halcyon bear
untold stirrup
#

Enemies are not physically mobile or fast enough to catch you if you stand far away and charge siege

untold stirrup
polar lake
#

Very true

untold stirrup
#

I'm not like "it's the only way to play"

#

Regular swapping is still completely fine and holo swapping has its downsides compared to regular swapping that's interrupted by CSG or HAR

polar lake
#

We all have our own way of ripping and tearing

#

Nothing wrong with that

untold stirrup
#

Like for example holo swapping doesn't take into account for internal weapon cooldown becausebof how fast it is

chrome basin
#

projectiles are pretty fast, as are the demons. the tradeoff to siege is that you're largely immobile while charging it in a game that's all about demons getting up in one's grill. siege is meant as a reward for powering it up and unlocking its mastery for at least a bit of mobility (not that you even need the limited mobility if you know when to use it and safely create some time and/or distance), and using it in place of a constant barrage of whatever else you have (or regular quick-swapping). that's intended design

untold stirrup
#

With holo swapping the gauss cannon is in cooldown so much of the time due to how fast it is

chrome basin
#

insta-siege isn't intended, but that's not a problem with siege, that's a problem with the dev team being unaware of the quick-swapping exploits found

#

holo-swapping is just as game-breaking

It is if you really master it

#

But it is hard to get really consistent unless you're a god like sylar or fatmetro

#

It's just... idk there's something about siege that I don't necessarily like too much

Even accounting for DKSMS

#

My brain is kind of dead rn

#

Was that proper grammar

halcyon bear
#

Kinda

That not is not supposed to be there

holo-swapping seems pretty easy, if you have the nade-whatever key on an ergonomic key, like side mouse buttons

Meanwhile In controller world

#

It's easy to perform but it takes time to get consistent and you need to have some understanding of interal weapon cooldowns

#

Especially if you mix it with mods

#

And in combat

#

It's still quite broken though

chrome basin
#

definitely

untold stirrup
#

No excuse for that

chrome basin
#

i mean definitely it requires knowledge

#

(well yeah, it's also broken)

You can delete barons in 2 seconds when combined with mod swapping too

#

Ok

chrome basin
#

it's a bit of a silly debate to be had anyway, what's cheaper than what, in a game where you can just infinitely bfg everything in sight most of the time

#

or stun/quickswap everything in general

untold stirrup
#

Soft faltering exists in 2016 pretty sure

halcyon bear
#

Exactly and than can be said for swapping in general. It really is personal preference

#

2016 is unique like that

untold stirrup
#

You have enough ammo to run through the game with the SSG

#

So if you wanna play like that, go for it

#

Jeezus christ my keyboard is faulty

#

And i don't mean that message in an offensive way

chrome basin
#

i never understood that. like the ssg is great and all, but mostly in conjunction with other weapons. i can't imagine why anyone would go through the game solely using it as their only weapon (outside of like, an intentional challenge or whatever)

untold stirrup
#

Anyway... i meant to say swapping seems to add more to the gameplay(just swapping in general) and make it more interesting so i like it

When DE released a lot of people complained about running out of ammo all the time

halcyon bear
#

Ssg can be made to be a beast I get it but I would never just use that alone

untold stirrup
#

Which I assume they're using the SSG a lot

#

Because you can cycle between weapons

#

So "running out of ammo" is kinda funny

#

You're not running out of ammo, you're running out of shells from using the SSG so much

#

it's a bit ironic, for most games i avoid glitches and try to play as close to the way the devs intended. otherwise it just feels cheesy, and if i were to exploit holo-swapping i feel i'd may as well just rail-boost through half the game's levels. but one game i still play 20 years later is Team Fortress Classic, which is a game where the entire meta has been defined by exploiting unintended features, like bunnyhopping, ramp-sliding, hh conc jumping, etc. so when we discovered something similar to doom's faster swapping methods (was probably before doom 2016, though it was still a late discovery in the game's lifespan), it kinda breathed new life into the possibilities. but even for tfc it was deemed too powerful, and the community banned it

#

I see the argument often. Doom 2016 isn't as good as eternal because you CAN use just the ssg. But truth is on high level play no not really at all and 2.. why would you

chrome basin
#

you won't really appreciate the context of how broken the technique in this video can be, and i imagine most ppl in this chan won't get over the dated graphics (though i use my own ultra-minimalistic textures and such), but this is similar in concept and execution

#

boring video since i don't include a showcase of dominating with it, heh

Graphics mean nothing to me. Atheistic and gameplay satisfacdoom . I'll check it out
