Firepower And How To Use It
WEAPONS: At first, you have only your pistol and your fists for protection. When you run over a
new weapon, you'll automatically equip yourself with it. As the game progresses, you'll need to
choose between firearms. The numeric keys select particular weapons (you cannot use the
keypad keys for this selection). The weapons are:
1 = Fist / Chainsaw
Y
our iron-clad knuckles are a little better than nothing. Note: When you walk across
the chainsaw it replaces your fist as the current weapon. Pressing the 1 key will
toggle between your Fist and the Chainsaw.
2 = The Pistol is the only weapon you start out with. But you'll use anything in a pinch,
no matter how pathetic it may feel.
3 = Shotguns/ Combat Shotguns can deliver a heavy punch at close range and a
generous pelting from a distance. Combat Shotguns are double-barreled, sawed-off
killing sticks. These gats are the ultimate in pellet warfare. Beware, two barrels not
only deliver more fire power, but take more time to reload. Pressing the 3 key will
toggle between the Shotgun and the Combat Shotgun.
4 = Chainguns direct heavy firepower into your opponent, making him do the
chaingun cha-cha.
5 = Rocket Launchers deliver an explosive rocket that can turn several baddies
inside-out.
6 = Plasma Rifles shoot multiple rounds of plasma energy
frying some demon butt!
7 = BFG 9000s are the prize of the military's arsenal. Great for clearing the room of
those unwelcome guests. Shoot it and see for yourself.
FIRING: To use a weapon, point it towards the enemy and press the Fire Key, or hold down the
Fire Key for rapid fire. If your shots hit a bad guy, you'll see splattering blood. Don't worry if the
enemy is higher or lower than you. lf you can see a monster, you can shoot it. Fire is initially
assigned to the Control Key. This may be changed in the Configuration dialog.
AMMO: Different weapons use different types of ammo. When you run over ammo Final DOOM
automatically loads the correct weapon.
