Teo Slayer Posted July 8, 2021 The Unmakyr is a weapon which shoots deadly lasers and it gets overpowered if you select all the 3 keys for it. It first made its appearence in Doom 64 and it showed up again in Doom Eternal. I have seen many people talking about how good and powerful the Super Shotgun and BFG 9k are, but no one talks about the Unmakyr. To be honest, I prefer the Unmakyr more than the BFG, it's faster and it doesn't eat that much ammo. So I wonder, is the Unmakyr a good weapon? 0 Share this post Link to post

[McD] James Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I can't comment on Doom Eternal, but it's an absolute beast in Doom 64 if you have all the keys. I prefer it over the BFG. Edited July 8, 2021 by [McD]James 4 Share this post Link to post
out_of_service Posted July 8, 2021 It's a good weapon I just wish there was more ammo for it. 2 Share this post Link to post
TheMagicMushroomMan Posted July 8, 2021 I love the weapon itself and its visual design in DOOM64. It's alright in Eternal, I guess. 3 Share this post Link to post

It's supposed to be a weapon created by the demons from Hell, so it should use a demonic-thing ammo Also thanks to the mods for moving this to the right forum 0 Share this post Link to post
Arrowhead Posted July 8, 2021 Loved it in Doom 64, I haven't seen / or played Doom 2016/Eternal yet, so can't comment on the one in Eternal. Really need a new computer... 1 Share this post Link to post

And also yay for the Unmakyr, made D64 a bit more different from vanilla. I really like the first key level even though its annoying as fk. 2 Share this post Link to post

silentzorah Posted July 8, 2021 Ehhhh, nah. I don't really use it, as I prefer the BFG for cleaning up a room when it gets crazy. SSG/Ballista works wonders, and you get to keep your BFG ammo. 1 Share this post Link to post
Chezza Posted July 8, 2021 Not a fan of Eternal's Unmakyr, I seldom use it. However I know the weapon can be used well when combined with weapon switching but it requires more effort and skills to kill one demon at a time. I'd rather quickly clear a room in a push of a button when things become too heated. 1 Share this post Link to post

If we aren't counting the super secret maps or the secret maps where you find the keys, this is close to halfway through the game. The Unmaker, plasma rifle, and BFG all have different uses depending on different circumstances and combat scenarios. I never stopped using the plasma rifle because of the Unmaker, and I still used the BFG to clear out rooms. A BFG and an Unmaker with two keys aren't even close to having the same functionality. 2 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Nebula Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) It used to be fun with the overdrive in Eternal, when the ammo was infinite during the power-up.. Combining it with the fully upgraded icebomb makes it a beast, taking Barons and Tyrants down very quickly :) Since they changed the overdrive behaviour super weapon ammo isn't affected by it, I lost interest to use it that much and prefer the BFG more instead. 2 Share this post Link to post
Cruduxy Pegg Posted July 15, 2021 It doesn't crash the game, that alone makes it better than the BFG. 2 Share this post Link to post

D.Vile Posted July 15, 2021 The BFG crashing the game so often is the reason I still haven't beaten the Taras Nabad Master level... :( 2 Share this post Link to post
Vertpin Posted July 18, 2021 I wish I had more reason to use it, but its just not as great when the BFG is an option imo. 1 Share this post Link to post
