## Brutal Doom Tips
<!-- published: 2019_12_20 -->

Holidays are the best[^only] time to play games. If you are playing Brutal Doom this holidays, here are some tips for you! (If you don't know what's [Brutal Doom](https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/) for Doom 2, just skip this post)

First, check out [my port of Quad Barrel "Cannon" Shotgun](https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/cannon-shotgun-upd). Ported from [LOS](https://www.moddb.com/games/doom/addons/legacy-of-suffering), in my opinion, is the best shotgun ever created for Doom.

Second, if you are stuck in an unfair custom map on nightmare difficulty, and there are literally too many monsters to continue, instead of using traditional cheats just type: `spawn mech`. It will bring an armored mecha robot (where you can get in) and use 4 powerful weapons to restore balance. If this is not enough (or you are bored) try to jump and squash enemies Metal Slug style!

Last, a long time ago, I wrote useful [script](https://github.com/dmi3/bin/blob/master/doom) to run gzdoom with various configurations/wads.
