ZDoom

UAC has broken our world beyond repair.
They say hard times create strong people. Things will have to be solved the old ways.

There was a time when guns were made of metal and wood,
soldiers were made of blood and sweat,
and after the war is over, all that's left beneath the remains is...
Rust and Bones.

Spoiler: Arsenal

---

Your arsenal consists of a linear selection, and very little gimmicks; basically a mod where you only need to know Mouse1 and Mouse2. You shoot stuff down, and that's more than enough.



Knife - Slot 1
Your trusty knife. It's already strong enough to take down hitscanners in one or two hits. Can be enhanced with berserk.

=======================================//



Chainsaw - Slot 1
Your old friend, drowned in blood from so many battles. Not enhanced by Berserk, but fast enough to tear down many monsters.
If by any chance you think it is too powerful with infinite ammo, go to the options menu and enable it to use fuel!

=======================================//



Revolver - Slot 2
Your sidearm. And when i say "sidearm", i'm not joking; This revolver will prove useful for you in many situations. If you by any chance are wielding the shotgun, super shotgun, battle rifle or grenade launcher, press Altfire to discharge your revolver on monsters and maybe save your life before reloading.

Tip: Your revolver is ALWAYS 100% accurate on the first shot!

=======================================//



Shotgun - Slot 3
The workhorse of the mod. Fire, pump, fire again. Six buckshots of pure joy.

=======================================//



Super Shotgun - Slot 3
Here, the Super Shotgun uses a different ammo as a way to, both use the normal shotgun and save ammo for stronger monsters.
BUT, if you don't like it, and want it to use normal ammo, you can go to the options and change its ammo type on the fly!

=======================================//



Battle Rifle - Slot 4
Your starter weapon along with the revolver. No need to wait until you get a chaingun. 30 shots before reloading.

=======================================//



Grenade Launcher - Slot 5
The Blooper will get you places if you learn how to master its arch and fire it properly.
To compensate for the single shot before reloading, your firepower is stronger than usual.

=======================================//



Minigun - Slot 4
A faster alternative for the chaingun, albeit with way less accuracy.
Use it only if you feel confident that your shots are going to make minced meat out of monsters.

=======================================//



Incinerator - Slot 6
This gun is a short-ranged flamethrower, but strong enough to melt the monsters you see around.
Useful if you think the last weapon consumes too much ammo, or if you don't have anything powerful yet.

=======================================//



Calamity Blade - Slot 7
The last UAC creation before migrating to the now almost extinct plasma weaponry.
Charges and fires a big horizontal wave able to burn and obliterate monsters on its path.

=======================================//

Secret Weapons:





You also have a few secret toys to play with.
If you're eager to obtain them, get 100 kills with the knife, 200 kills with the shotgun, and 300 kills (!) with the Grenade Launcher.
You won't be disappointed.

Spoiler: Powerups

---

Powerups behave almost the same as in Doom, except for one: The Blursphere in this mod is replaced with a Max. HP enhancer.
Each time you grab one, it expands your maximum life in 5 points.

Spoiler: Medikits

---

Almost the same as vanilla Doom. Main differences are: Your health and armor bonuses can stack up to 300 points, your base medikit heals 30 points, and your Megasphere does not give you armor, just 200 health.

I've tried it with no other mods loaded, changed the setting and saved etc, still seems to generate small red beams/lines from the walls when firing. Or is this a different option?

Minor nitpick, I think the HUD could use a little tweaking. I feel the mugshot should be to the left of the health/armor instead of on top of it, would align everything more horizontally as opposed to it being the tallest point of the HUD, if that makes sense. And I like the ammo reserve being a bar as opposed to hard numbers, but something about only one side having a semi-circle without one on the left is messing with my head - maybe an option to show health/armor as mirrored semi-circle too?

Dr_Cosmobyte wrote: ↑Tue Mar 11, 2025 6:00 pm All valid criticisms! I like the idea of putting the mugshot left to the numbers, and i like the idea to enforce individual reloads for the revolver, so you have more reasons to use it. I don't know what could be used instead of a semi-circular bar for the HUD though.

And since that question was already sked before outside this thread, no, i'm not considering numbers as ammo reserve. Too much unindentified-information on screen already.

But thanks for the feedback! More stuff to address on v1.3. For the next update, i buffed the revolver a tiny bit and added some more stuff to compliment the gameplay.
