The FPS (DOOM, etc) Thread

I beat the Super Gore Nest last night.

So far, my favorite level of the game.

@PlusFrames Thanks for the L3 dash tip, itā€™s starting to click though Iā€™m gonna need a lot more time with it before Iā€™ve got it down pat. But the extra trigger makes a big difference when trying to output damage quickly.

I think Iā€™ll start campaign again on Nightmare to force myself to get the hang of it.

Third run complete. First run thatā€™s completely UV, as well as 100% done (all secrets, Gates, Mission Challenges, etc), all done within the Campaign (no Mission Select).

The only thing not 100% is weapon mastery. I thought youā€™d get enough Mastery Coins by the end to do them all, but nopeā€¦ Oh well, canā€™t win them all.

I died more than I wouldā€™ve liked, but still did better than I thought I would.

Now onto Nightmare :scream:

Made it through the ARC Complex and fought the Marauder. That dudeā€™s a fucking beast.

Now, on to Mars!

Hereā€™s a great video for strats against the Marauder. Some I never knew of:

No I havenā€™t, itā€™s just easier to be out of counter range with the shotgun and it ends up costing you

It took me a while, but I realized the best way to counter the Marauder is to dash away from him. Heā€™ll chase you down, and throw his axe (which you can easily avoid) and when he gets close enough, he usually goes for a counterable attack.

I fought against him twice last night while doing this and he was dead within seconds.

Yeah, I tried it last night, and didnā€™t have any issues with the Ballista whiffing. Itā€™s also easier to aim once you know how to bait an attack.

Yeah I really donā€™t know why the game tells you about some sweet spot, there isnā€™t one. Just stay the fuck away from him and heā€™s harmless. Clear up other threats, then let him charge you and counter hit him.

I have to say, the best rune in the game is the one that gives you a speed burst after a glory kill. Itā€™s so good.

Spot on.

After the first encounter i just ran away dealing with other shit and he would always eventually dart close to me and go for a green eye swipe

This guy is nuts. He did a 100% UN run (including mastering all weapons) in like 5 hours.

This game needs an endless horde mode.

The difficulty spike between UV and Nightmare is a littlest ridiculous, lol

@mowr how are doing this shit on PS4? Any tips?

Iā€™m playing on Nightmare but I didnā€™t say anything about how successfully lol. Iā€™m still dying a lot but Iā€™m getting better slowly.

Itā€™s gonna sound really stupid but the number one thing I try to remind myself as I play is to consciously accelerate the pace at which my fingers execute everything Iā€™m doing. I fumble a lot but if Iā€™m not pushing myself constantly then I wonā€™t get better at faster execution.

Another thing to remember is, and it might also sound obvious, is donā€™t be stubborn in your approach to every encounter. If youā€™re dying repeatedly to certain encounters, donā€™t assume itā€™s only because youā€™re fucking up during the encounter and that next time you just need to execute the same plan better, it may be that youā€™re starting it off poorly, picking a bad spot to start, charging in where you shouldnā€™t etc. You may start fucking up precisely because youā€™re putting yourself in a bad spot and start panicking when things inevitably go south, so think about your approach to each new encounter that you have trouble with.
