Holy fuck this game is hard. I fucking suck. I’m getting filtered like no other. Only made it to the fourth level so far but goddamn it’s kicking my ass. I don’t remember Doom 2016 being this hard so early in the game.

try not standing still

That’s honestly what’s fucking me up a lot. I’m just not used to this style of gunplay. The only shooter I ever played a lot of is Halo, which is quite different.

too many choices and scarce amount of ammo for me

1. weapon mechanic x 6-7
2. alt weapon mechanic x 6
3. glory kill for health
4. fire for armor wait for refresh
5. saw for ammo wait for refresh
6. ice bomb wait for refresh
7. grenade wait for refresh
8. dash/ evade
9. ledges/portals/super mario
10. ONE PUNCH wait for refresh

dont get me started on marauder who i kill only with sicky bombs on ground cause i refuse to play sekiro doomguy and wait for him to attack me first

its a good game but very different from 2016

ah yeah and now crucible

bfg only 2 shots...

It gets easier as you progress and get more tools

That and I think you just learn how to play. For example, I just went back and replayed the first level again to get all of the collectibles, and it’s unbelievably easier than when I did it the first time, and I only used the original weapons so I know it’s skill rather than progression.

Your skill isn't as important as how you play.
Important things:
>use all of your kit
>NEVER EVER stand still
>try to stay ahead of the crowd and away from enemies unless you know fucking exactly what you're doing. The game gives you a grenade launcher before you ever get into a real fight, you have little excuse to try and 1v1 a dread knight up close without a good plan.

Are the slayer gates supposed to be this hard on Nightmare? I keep getting fucked up on slayer gate 2 and im not sure if im retarded or it's just the game.

Atleast you can admit that the problem is you.
To all the shitters on Yas Forums take note.
This is the first step in recognizing your issues.

Glory kill everything, makes you invulnerable and all enemies attack in spurts. Use the flame thrower a lot, every chance you can. Use the freezing grenade every chance you can. Chainsaw every 4th or 5th enemy. Upgrade health to 150Hp then upgrade Ammo. From there, upgrade what you need more. If you die a lot without using all of your ammo, then health. If you die a lot because you have no ammo, then upgrade ammo.

Don't get the Microwave upgrade for the Pulse Rifle, absolute garbage.

The Marauder is poorly designed. I shouldn't have to do a SSG/Ballista or a SSG/BFG one two punch just to put his broken ass down. Both methods just feel cheap. Every other enemy in the game allows you to use the entire arena, whereas the Marauder forces you to do this awkward mid-range dance

doing ultra nightmare runs the first levels are probably the hardest due to how limited your moveset is. You don't have the wide assortment of panic buttons you get in late game and arachnotrons are terrifying

>no ice bomb
>no super shotgun
>no chaingun shield
>no crucible
>no flame belch
>no super shotgun
>no blood punch

the only thing you have is full auto shotgun and it fucking SUCKS

>full auto shotgun instead of sticky bomb master race
You deserve to die

Full auto shotgun is only viable after the mastery upgrade wherein kills drop more ammo. Even then, user is right, sticky bombs are WAY more practical. They disarm Arachnotrons, and easily make short work of Cacodemons via a glory kill

His dog is the only part that feels broken.

I think that they should had made him slower but make the shield reflect everything directly back to you. This way he could act as a vanguard for the rest of the demons and stop you from spamming mindlessly.

i'm talking arachnotrons here
the best way to kill them quickly is to pop the turret and then get in their face with the full auto shotgun (unless you have chainsaw fuel)

but it's still risky because it doesn't stagger them or anything

Remote Detonated Rockets work too. Also frags.

The dog is just an added annoyance. The Marauder completely halts the flow of combat. The entire game encourages the player to keep moving around the arena, whereas this asshole forces you to stop everything and mid range strafe so you can exploit his one weakness
Not very reliable in my opinion

>Remove purple goop
>Remove jack-in-the-box tentacles
>Remove tutorial pop-ins that spoil upcoming demons, they should only pop up if you're killed by one

>Change the Marauder so that his shield can be broken by damage but this makes him even more aggressive

Anything else?

You can also Microwave zombies that are near him. I remembered trying that once when I pulled that gun out by mistake.

Just quick swap between a 3x sticky and micro missile salvo you shitter, throw some rocket launcher in that combo once you get it and you’ll be set til you get ballista and SSG mastery done

How can I load the current checkpoint in master levels? I just crashed for the first time and I don't find an option that doesn't reset my progress in the level.

Am I the only one who thinks the shotgun is pointless? They should just make it a grenade launcher since people only use it for stickies.

what part of "the first two levels of the game" did you not grasp

Did you crash in the Cultist Base in that one indoor arena with two tyrants? I crashed there as well and ended up having to replay the whole level.

precision bolt is generally way better than micro missiles especially for dealing with mancubi

and if you don't take precision bolt you're depriving yourself of it for like 3 levels because the plasma gun and RL need mods

Not indoor, in the outdoor area after you punch the two chains to let the bridge down.

>fire makes enemies drop armor
>Doomguy doesn't light his chainsaw on fire
More like Dumbguy.

It's alright for mopping up zombies but yeah the primary use is grenades. Though you might as well just use the shoulder mount grenades after they're upgraded. You can still fire those into Cacodemons

>1.5% of players have any Battlemode achievements
Oof.

You just named a use. A lame gun with a very useful and cheap alt fire

Heavy assaults in the first level you tard
You realize there’s 3 weapon mods on the 1st level right? Don’t tell me you put both on the shotgun

Beaten it on Ultra Violence, and working on Nightmare now. Also annoyed that the bonus XP from the weekly challenges isn't unlocking despite me finishing all the challenges. Fucking shitty ass Bethesda.net. GIVE ME MY 40,000 XP SO I CAN GET THE EMBER DOOM GUY.

Also fuck Gargoyles and Prowlers. Fucking naruto ass faggot ninjas running with arms behind their back and shred you in two seconds before you can react because they box you in a corner

Attached: 782330_screenshots_20200327205447_1.jpg (1920x1080, 244.6K)

Part of it is the Bethesda net is fucking shit and bugged alot of people's achievements and milestones. I legit had to re-earn the gunpletionist and I still haven't gotten alot of milestone unlockables despite meeting the requirements.

Gargoyles and Prowlers are bitches when up against the super shotgun meat hook. Master that weapon, and each kill will drop armor

I still haven't even tried Battlemode. But I will eventually considering I bought the deluxe edition so I feel forced to try everything in the game. I don't really buy triple A titles on launch but I wanted to try this time... People buy games on launch all the time and they seem happier than me but it didnt seem to work. Not like the game is terrible, but still..

what difficulty?

Gargs on Nightmare are fucking terrifying. They get in your face and wiggle their claws like a mantis having a stroke and for some reason this depletes 80% of your armor/health in half a second.

Oh believe me I know that, it's just that they are annoying and have fucky collision mapping or something, so I often times literally get boxed by them on each side of me because I foolishly turned my back for a second, and they do retarded damage in a split second.

Battlemode pisses me off as the slayer, given the shitty netcode, I can't tell you how many times I've almost won but then I miraculously can't seem to find the enemy player because of lag and it becomes keepaway until the other player respawns and I get blown up by a laggy missle. Fucking Bethesda.

>Remove purple goop
Keep it for platforming/puzzles, remove during enemy in counters
>Remove jack-in-the-box tentacles
yes
>Remove tutorial pop-ins that spoil upcoming demons, they should only pop up if you're killed by one
You can do this in settings
>Get rid of the Sentinel Armor offering on boss deaths, shit is insulting
You can do this in settings
>Make it so Medium demons like the Prowler can be chainsawed with only two tanks of fuel
Yeah sure.
>Change the Marauder so that his shield can be broken by damage but this makes him even more aggressive
Yeah sure.

Who's the bigger pain in the ass; Archvile's or Pain Elementals?

You'd think the Chainsaw would have mod slots.

>3 Points] Increases the number of tanks you can hold to 5
>6 Points] Chainsawing a flaming enemy causes a fiery explosion that damages nearby demons
>Mastery: Chainsaw 15 Heavy Demons
>Mastery Reward: Using the Chainsaw on a Heavy demon will grant the Slayer Berserk for 3 seconds

Is there a faster way to earn xp than starting a fresh game and beating the first level over and over?

anyone here doing/going to do a one sentinel crystal perk and one suit rune run for the milestone? what do you guys reckon would be best?

What, do you not take the second one and go back when you get the heavy cannon?

>You can do this in settings
On your second playthrough, sure. But if you go in blind you don't want to turn off tutorials because you don't want to miss a heads-up about the special upgrade points hidden behind posters or some shit.

Archviles and PE's are nonthreats. Archies get taken out by sword and PE's get wasted by ballista. It's the fast Naruto fags that are actually a threat.

On ultra nightmare yea, they give you fast travel, might as well use it

This game really wants you to play in the one specific way it has in mind. It's kinda annoying. The worst offender is the marauder, especially the first fight. I died a shitload on that fight because I was playing it my way, using rockets to circumvent the shield, only to find out he's ONLY ABLE TO BE DAMAGED when his eyes flash green.

That's just fucking stupid.

>Holy fuck this game is hard
Was 2016 your first FPS?

What do you guys want for DLC?

It better be actual new levels and not just "master levels". I was already stupid enough to preorder the season pass or whatever it is called.

>Archies get taken out by sword
If you want to be a bitch about it, sure

I think Master Levels will be ongoing content and they kind of DLC/Sequel baited with the whole MYSTERIOUS VOICE: NOOOOOO thing.

I beat it on nightmare in 2 days, only real challenges were the first marauder fight, gladiator boss, and final boss.

Marauder on nightmare is bullshit, you can't just "stay mid-range" like the tips suggest. You have to stay farther than mid-range to bait out the projectile throw, then he almost always follows up with the green eyes slash if you're far enough away.

He does tend to just dash right in your face and throw a projectile though, so their range advice is bullshit.

I don't hate the purple goop, I just think its stupid that its introduced in the same level you get the dash and that gets you into a bad habit of not using it in combat after you get it on people's first play throughs.

Either get rid of them or have them always pop up from their holes so there is no stupid surprise and they only punish you for not paying attention. Also, they need to die from one hit with anything, so you don't have to have the super shotgun to one shot them.
The combat shotgun only sometimes kills them in one hit.

Settings.

Settings.

Oh my god this. Why the fuck aren't there two gas demons? Jesus Christ.

Ehhh, I'm fine with the Marauder. You can damage him with splash damage as long as nothing hits him directly, shield isn't a big issue.

That's fair, I was surprised myself when I got tutorials at all on the higher difficulties.

What does xp do? Just give Battlemode cosmetics?

Same, I was hoping Battlemode would give more replayability but I got bored with it pretty quick.

I want more gladiator arena content.

>who i kill only with sicky bombs on ground cause i refuse to play sekiro doomguy

Hey, as long as it works.

Favorite Arena?
Mine is the Kitchen area with all the Mancubus and the Berserk powerup hidden on the lower floor.

levels your doom level

I dropped doom 2016 for some reason, can't remember why. An hour or so into Hell. Should I just keep playing that or is this game somehow "better" or "different"

>DLC is just more gladiator matches against new enemies with even more immunity/counter mechanics
Oh God.

>pirate game
>cant use unlocked cosmetics like OG doom suit

Fuck you Bethesda

>argent energy is destroyed
It still exists in the demonic crucible.

Mine is the second to last arena before the icon of sin, where they throw 10 of every demon at you at once, shit got my adrenaline pumping

>only to find out he's ONLY ABLE TO BE DAMAGED when his eyes flash green.
Not defending Marauder's AI/gimmick but the game literally tells you how to kill him

>Twitch Prime skin

It's gets way easier as you upgrade your weapons and find your playstyle. I was getting filtered hard on UV early on. Combat arenas would take me like 3 tries and slayer gates would take me like 10+ tries. By around level 4 I was able to get through levels with no deaths, which include the slayer gates. Just now I did the level where you get the BFG and I had no deaths, again including the slayer gate where they put you up against a marauder and a bunch of mobs as soon as you get in. It felt really satisfying to see myself get better at the game.

Mostly battlemode, yeah. The weapons and Doomguy skins can be worn in-game.

>ONLY ABLE TO BE DAMAGED
That's not the case at all.
I'm a bitch and can't do the weapons switch trick so I just spam sticky bombs around him.
He doesn't block them as long as they don't hit him directly.

This game is way more difficult then the 2016's.
But I'm liking it a lot.

I got bored of 2016 real fast. While fun, it’s super repetitive. I think the level design of Eternal and the variety in all of it makes it 1000x better than 2016, so I’d definitely consider getting it. It doesn’t start slow at all like the first one, you basically are given a shotgun and a chainsaw and they unleash you.

Pain Elementals in 2, Archviles in Eternal.

Does that actually do anything?

We're getting both. It sounds like the master levels will be free, the season pass DLC will be new missions involving going after the leaders of Hell.

Finished it on normal. Was fun but I won't replay it since the middle parts between fights were a boring slog and the marauders just shatter the good pacing.

i thought the season pass levels were going to be connecting the link from 2016 to eternal?

The elusive "Dark Lord" is still kicking around though, right? Gotta go kick his ass.

>achievements tied to Battlemode

I think Doom level is just for dick waving. Series level is for skins (so, more dick waving but different)

Have you tried Master Levels? Shit is relentless. There's one room filled with long range heavies and the longer the fight goes on the less pillars you have to LoS behind.

Aren't the demons still on ful blast? Skimmed through the lore but what I got was
>doom guy gets found by ancient race of warriors
>they fight demons
>discover soul energy and use it to fight demons even better
>leadership gets corrupt with power
>civil war which ends up with ancient warrior race essentially joining the demons
