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, it’s starting to click though I’m gonna need a lot more time with it before I’ve got it down pat. But the extra trigger makes a big difference when trying to output damage quickly.

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

Third run complete. First run that’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 you’d get enough Mastery Coins by the end to do them all, but nope… Oh well, can’t win them all.

I died more than I would’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 dude’s a fucking beast.

Now, on to Mars!

Here’s a great video for strats against the Marauder. Some I never knew of:

No I haven’t, it’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. He’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 didn’t have any issues with the Ballista whiffing. It’s also easier to aim once you know how to bait an attack.

Yeah I really don’t know why the game tells you about some sweet spot, there isn’t one. Just stay the fuck away from him and he’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. It’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?

I’m playing on Nightmare but I didn’t say anything about how successfully lol. I’m still dying a lot but I’m getting better slowly.

It’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 I’m doing. I fumble a lot but if I’m not pushing myself constantly then I won’t get better at faster execution.

Another thing to remember is, and it might also sound obvious, is don’t be stubborn in your approach to every encounter. If you’re dying repeatedly to certain encounters, don’t assume it’s only because you’re fucking up during the encounter and that next time you just need to execute the same plan better, it may be that you’re starting it off poorly, picking a bad spot to start, charging in where you shouldn’t etc. You may start fucking up precisely because you’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.
