/vr/ - Retro Games

So, I won an Oblige megawad with DRLA using permadeath rules. That was pretty fun, but if I didn't get lucky and find Lava armour I would die. Fire resist is priceless because Cyberdemons are EVERYWHERE and nightmare archies are a pain too. Plasma resist is great too. Melee resist is not very important because not much things actually try to melee you in Doom and those that do are usually not very good at that (I played without fast monsters though) and bullets, well, at least most hitscanners are fragile.

My endgame weapons were Ripper (almost never used that), nanomachic RL (workhorse, fast (around vanilla RL fire rate), strong (stronger than vanilla RL), incredibly useful, thanks to lava armour I could take a misaimed rocket or two), PPSS minigun (mostly for fun, though it had its use too), PPPP laser rifle (nice, but eats cells, rarely used), railgun (almost never used) and Sniper-modded Beam Cannon (this thing dropped from the very fist Nightmare Cyberdemon I killed, incredibly lucky. Sniper made it shoot one beam that took 90 cells and was pretty powerful (it would kill regular Cybers in one shot with about 50% chance). I wanted to Firestorm it but I didn't find a single FS mod. Oh well.
