Weak weapons

Well, I don't want pistols, I feel like this might've been read as wrong, a PISTOL should not be one shotting cyberdemons, however, if something is intended to be a Big fucking Gun, then it should be a Big Fucking Gun

Like they are saying, you can d/l anything from here and change the projectile or weapon damage to a gazillion in slade. One shot Cybers like clockwork, bro.

You could get more wild with new types of ammo, but that doesn't mean you should go bathshit insane, like firing 2 nukes and a bunch of pyrocannon shots in one go, that stuff would be ok on Zandronum multiplayer mods but not here.

Agreed, most of this is what I already said, however, I agree with the new ammo. Having a new ammo type really changes the dynamic. Also, modders could use the flag;

+weapon.cheatnotweapon

This is fantastic flag to ensure you can't spam IDFA or IDKFA over and over again for a refill on a potentially Super Powered weapon. This balances it out by 75% anyway. Might be worth a look. Custom ammo, weapon limitation flags work really well. However, if you're doing it for yourself and not for a fan made addition then go nuts.

Doom your way.

Also when I mean OP weapons, I don't just mean weapons that do a shit ton of damage, I mean like weapons with functions that are OP

Gamefeel is an art not a science and is thus slightly subjective. Its not as easy as, "make the guns feel more powerful." Like u pointed out, just upping the damage can go a long ways towards making a weapon feel WEAK.

The stuff here is more like a resource for someone to start making something that feels good for them (and others) in-game.

After playing the Rise of the Triad rerelease recently, I'd love to see someone tackle a Doom style version of the Firebomb from that game. It's a very powerful weapon, but not totally OP.

I have one. It does a circle pattern instead of a cross. I'll get it up soon-ish.

There is also a near 1:1 facsimile of all the ROTT weapons in Return of the Triad for GZDooM.
