DoomRL Arsenal - [1.1.5] [MP-B7.3]

[Viscra Maelstrom]

the Super Machinegun seems to consume twice as many bullets when you're reloading the gun, making it a bit of a ammo sink.

Likely intentional, because it is a hideously powerful gun!

if it is, then maybe some appropriate info in the weapon description page should be added? just a lil something to tell you that the gun is an ammo-sink, not just that it's a mounted gun that you can carry.

a lot of pistols in this mod seems to clog up slot 2, which makes it a bit of a pain for the Scout to handle. the examples i can think about right now are all the plasma pistols (except for Plasma Marksman and Nuclear Plasma Pistol, which are in the more sensible slot 6) and the Unknown Herald. maybe move the Baron Blaster to slot 6 too, but that gun is so rare to find anyway. moving the plasma pistols to slot 6 and Herald to 5 would probably make selecting weapons a lot less painfully for a Scout (i've actually dropped certain pistols in this mod so that slot 2 wouldn't be clogged up by excess weapons.)

i also found a Nuclear Backpack, which claimed to always recharge my nuclear weaponry, but it didn't seem to work for my HP Nuclear Plasma Rifle at all. maybe it's already been fixed/aware of, and i didn't have any other nuclear weapons to test it with, but still.

Will move some around, see if it helps.

"The Nuclear Backpack will recharge your cell ammo constantly"

[Viscra Maelstrom]

oh. OH. now i feel like an idiot. why would it ever recharge the ammo for something that recharges its own ammo.

[Silentdarkness12]

Experimental Phase Devices are exploitable. Using one, and then cancelling will leave you with an extra experimental phase device. Infinite devices.

Um, no it doesn't, that was fixed forever ago. And even if it did, it doesn't matter because the Experimental Phase Device isn't meant to be used up when being used.

Wrong. It's still there. At the very least, as of 1.01 DRLA. I know it is. It happened to me.

Also, that doesn't mean that using it should cause duplicate units to happen. Huh. Weird. Doesn't feel like too long ago that I saw it happen.

nuclear armor is the thing you're looking for
nuke plasmagun + nuke armor + marine = infinite ammo


also the flamethrower's modpack descriptions appear to be off
"increases projectile speed" actually decreases spread
which is pretty useless for a flamethrower, unlike increased projectile speed, which would also increase the range
also what purpose does +THRUGHOST serve? +THRUACTORS i'd understand

and technical mods think that suss gun has reloading

one more thing about the flamethrower:
it takes one rocket to load one tank
but the last rocket only gives one unit of ammo instead of the regular 60

[Viscra Maelstrom]

i'm aware about nuclear armor. i also know about the nuclear power armor, which is really awesome to get. seems really frigging hard to get that plus the boots for the complete set, though. probably because it basically makes you invincible.

edit: i'm almost tempted to call the S modded Nuclear Onslaught overpowered. it's incredibly powerful, perfectly accurate, and has a good rate of fire. it can only hit a single target, but damn if it doesn't bore a hole into everything. however, the Nuclear Onslaught is rare to find, and S mods are too, so i don't know if it should get nerfed because of the fact that it doesn't exactly grow on trees.

[Mister Sinister]

So I've assembled a high power nuclear bfg. Can I actually fire it without killing myself or is it a weapon made to tease me with it's glorious look and feeling of power?

stabilize it
i'll give you a hint: what do highpower weapons trade off for what

[Viscra Maelstrom]

that just makes me wonder: can the Demolitionist actually use the thing without having to fix it first? because that would be pretty useful, and also hilarious.

[Kaeoschassis]

I had the same thought awhile ago.

---

Yes, he can. Which means you can use those saved mod-slots for something else. Which is awesome. I have no idea how a tricked out HP Nuclear BFG compares to, say, a Biggest Fucking Nuclear Gun, but I have a hunch that the faster fire rate would make it pretty competitive.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

wow. the Demolitionist is confirmed for completely insane. not that he wasn't that before, but now he's effectively cheating death.

[SAraisXenoQueen]

Well, at least he's sensible enough to use long-range weapons. The commando's a crazy bastard who would engage in fisticuffs with a nightmare cyber.

[Vict]

Here's a weird one, found it on the test map:

When picking up a tracking map when holding any demonic weapon, it'll only print exotic mod effects for the Hell's Reign.

[Take One]

Just as a thought, could there possibly be any better way to spawn the demonic artefact guardian? My first encounter with it basically consisted of it spawning in the starting spot of a map whose starting room gets closed off by the end of the map, me using a phase device to see what was going on and immediately telefragging it. I can't imagine another way to spawn it, myself, though.

Minor typo in the Energysaw's description says that it cuts through things like "the proberbial hot knife through butter". I hope that it says a lot that the closest thing to a bug that I've been able to find for quite a while is a tiny spelling error.

I've finally discovered the joys of the anti-mat, too. On that note, is there any specific difference between it and the gauss rifle? All that I've noticed so far is that the gauss rifle seems to do the same thing as the anti-mat but with less damage (aside from it using cells instead of bullets).

[wildweasel]

The AMR also has pretty significant kickback compared to the Gauss.
