ARMOR: Two types of body armor can be found laying around, Security Armor and Combat
Armor. Both reduce damage done to you. Unfortunately, both deteriorate with use, and eventually
are destroyed by enemy attacks, leaving you in need of replacement armor.
Security armor is a lightweight kevlar vest that's perfect for riot control.
Combat armor is a heavy duty jacket composed of a titanium derivative useful for
rotection against real firepower, like the kind you're gonna face. p
If you're wearing armor, you only pick up a replacement suit if it provides more protection than
what you're now wearing.
Power-Ups
Other bits of "challenging electronics" may be found in ULTIMATE DOOM. Most of these are
pretty doggone handy, so grab them when able. These special items have a duration of either the
entire level, a specific amount of time, or just provide an instant benefit. A few of them affect your
game screen so you can tell when they are active. For example, when you pick up a radiation
suit, the game screen turns green. As the suit deteriorates the screen will flash. This is a hint to
get out of the radioactive ooze now!
Radiation Suits provide protection against radioactivity, heat and other low-intensity
forms of energy. Basically, these suits enable you to wade through the radioactive ooze
without taking damage. While a suit holds out, your screen will have a greenish tint.

Berserk Packs heal you, plus act as a super-adrenaline rush, enormously boosting
our muscle power. Since you're already a pretty meaty guy, this enhanced strength
ts you tear ordinary dolts limb from limb, and you can even splatter those demons
without too much trouble. However, you've got to use your Fist attack to get the benefit of the
Berserk attack bonus. When you become Berserk, your screen will briefly turn red.
