Which weapon against which demon is the most fun?

[Count651]

I love point blanking enemies with the SSG in smooth doom. They splatter all over the place, nothings more satisfying.

Shotgun v. Revenants

 

I like that things could go bad very quickly if I mess up. It always feels really tense. Chaingun feels kinda cheap.

Pretty much anything I'm holding when an archie dies. That's still my favorite. And then the corpse looks like it would make great bbq.

I prefer berserk pack or chainsaw for demons. If only demons/spectres on my way, I will not waste ammo on them.

Chaingun for revenants and codemons, but only if they are not in groups.

Pistol, shotgun, chaingun zombies: berserk fist

Imps: berserk fist

Pinkies/spectres: berserk fist

Barons/hell knights: berserk fist

Lost souls, pain elementals: berserk fist

Anything else: BFG9000

Hordes of any of the above: BFG9000

Chainsaw vs Cacodemons! They simply turn their a**es towards your chainsaw...

Also chainsaw vs a single Pain Elemental. But only in vanilla, not in Brutal Doom, in BD pain elementals cause severe damage when exploding.

Rockets vs hordes of zombiemen. Especially on Refueling Base.

SSG vs a Cyberdemon. Sometimes it really helps to save rockets and plasmacells. Also Spiderdemon vs Cyberdemon (everyone knows where), it's amazing to watch...

And just for fun. Rockets vs hanging Commander Keens in MAP32.

The chainsaw against the demons and cacodemons. If you have the right setup, both are effectively harmless while you're tearing them up. The plasma gun is also fun to use against former humans since it usually roasts them. For everything else, the rocket launcher is satisfying, especially when the splash damage can take out nearby enemies, too. Of course, I'm most familiar with the Doom shareware, where the rocket launcher was effectively the strongest weapon available, so blowing everything away with rockets has always been really rewarding for me.

If you don't have a BFG9000 against the Mastermind, I prefer the super shotgun anyday or the plasma gun for the cybie.

I love killing a huge number of revenants with the BFG or Rocket Launcher , this is so satisfying to hear their bones cracking when they die.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Especially after killing an army of revenants. So satisfying...

Hiya!

 

Rocket Launcher against either a group of troopers, or against a mancubus. Can't deny the feeling of "FUCK YOU DEMON-ZOMBIE-SCUM!" when a rocket splatters a half-dozen zombie troopers into goo. Then again, I love the "thud thud thud" of launching multiple missiles at a mancubus and then hearing him 'dissolve' into an exhale of gases and sloppy meat!

[roadworx]

chaingun against zombiemen, especially when they're in hordes. mowing them down with the sound of it firing is amazing!

 

other than that, the ssg against anything is usually my favorite.

[Endless]

Plasma vs Arachnotron, nothing like tasting your own medicine.

Also, BFG vs EVERYTHING.

[leodoom85]

A good choice is punching (having a berserk, obviously) against imps and pinkys, also zombieman. At least I can see the imps and zombies going splat through my fist >:)

[SaladStream]

Ssg against 3-4 cyberdemons. Something like cyberpunk from HR. I just enjoy the challenge of not being hit
