but thats the thing
thats what shotguns and the AMR are supposed to do, but the phasing happens with no delay, not even to wait for all the pellets to make contact
they are counterintuitive in this particular niche
hell, i've had an instance where the impact of a MIL rocket triggered a nightmare caco's phasing and had it avoid the entirety of the blast

But that's the point - those all technically deal damage in multiple hits.

All you have to do is aim at a slow moving orb around them. It even has an extremely large leniency on when you shoot it, so they're really not that hard at all.
Edit: Apparently I misread that as "armageddon cacos" somehow, which makes that make even less sense, since they're just cacos that can move slightly horizontally when hit.

if you don't have weapons that deal damage with a single hit, you could bait its phasing with a weaker weapon, then use whatever your main weapon is to kill them afterwards.

Rapid weapon still work like a charm against them, just follow where their "Eye" goes and keep shooting, you won't miss.

However Rocket/Shell weapons will be wasted incase the Caco goes phasing at that very moment, I can confirm this from using a Plasma Rocket on that caco, it phased right thru the blast and still had enough health to take another hit.

infact even the Zeus BFG misses them and goes for another target when they Phase away.

the plascharge launcher does multiple explosions instead of a single one, so it's a bit unreliable against them. grenade launcher, tactical rocket launcher and missile launcher only does one explosion on impact, and thus only hits it once. it can still phase away, but much less likely. shotguns fire multiple pellets so it will always trigger the phasing.

I wonder. If I made a Heavy Shotgun, could I then make it Plasmatic?

No - Assembled weapons cannot take further assemblies.

nope
only one assembly per weapon
and it makes me sad
no high power stealth weapons for me

Oh well, at least I'm filling out my assembly lists.

I have been having a strange issue with the mod: when I load DoomRL + Monster pack with a wad like AV1/AV2/Community pack 3/4 or whatever, in-game I cannot jump! I tried the fly command and pressing the jump button allows me to go straight up, so I know the key is working and jump works just fine when using the vanilla Doom2 maps or maps of chaos. Am running the game through DZDoom and DoomExplorer latest versions. Thanks for any help fixing this VERY annoying issue.

That's because those maps disable jumping by default. Thankfully you can go to gameplay options and set jumping to on in order to remedy this problem. But as a friendly reminder, if the mapset disables jumping, than it's probably not intended for jumping to be enabled.

WOW! I feel so stupid lol. In my defense, I am pretty new to Doom 1/2. Thanks So Much! Sorry for the dumb comment

Wait wait wait HOLD UP! The Doom community has been told that there isn't, and will never be an AV2! WE NEED ANSWERS!

There's a slight typo in one of the unique item texts displayed once you enter a level.

"You feel a vile, yet unthreatening prescence here..."
