Introduction:
In celebration of the reveal of the new Doom game at E3 2015, I present to you: Project Brutality. This ultimate Brutal Doom expansion pack, that adds tons of new content into the game that infinitely increases replay value. Every single feature- weapons, monsters, player abilities, sound, visuals- were all carefully developed and crafted to guarantee the ultimate brutal doom experience. Project Brutality is the single most extensive mod that stays true to the lore of Brutal Doom and lets the players themselves choose how they wish to experience Brutal Doom.
Menu, Features, & Information:
Project Brutality allows the player to choose however they wish to play brutal doom. With a wide variety of options, presets, game modes, you’ll never experience the same play-through twice. Let’s first discuss the new Menu Options and Features:
The “Project Brutality” option in the main menu or option menu will take you to exclusive settings from where you can customize many features that affect your game.
![Project Brutality Settings Menu]()
This is where you can customize your game from a number of ways, ranging from visual effects, to gameplay features, and even what you’ll encounter in the game world. Refer to the next page for information on the settings that this sub-menu consists of, starting with the spawn presets.
- Spawn Presets- With the expanded arsenal and bestiary in Project Brutality, it is in YOUR hands to choose how you want your play-through to be. This will affect the type of weapons, items, and monsters that will spawn throughout the game world.
- Dynamic Progression- This is the highly recommended spawn preset because it dynamically adjusts the spawning as you progress further through the game, guaranteeing the most balanced-paced experience. This means you’ll discover the more powerful and advanced weapons, items, and enemies as you beat more levels. This is the way Project Brutality was meant to be played.
- Default Random- All weapons, enemies, items spawn in a “balanced” random fashion independent of what level the player is on
- Brutal Doom Classic- Spawns strictly the monsters, items, and weapons you encounter in good ‘ole vanilla Brutal Doom
- Alternative- Modified variant of “Default Random” that swaps enemy spawns more often
- Tiers I, II, III, and IV- these are the individual spawn tiers of the “Dynamic Progression” spawn preset
- Death Wish- This will guarantee to spawn the hardest monster variants you’ll encounter every time.
You can now individually customize monster spawns and abilities, too.
2. Game Settings- These various options are here for you to configure and toggle things to your very own preferences.
3. Rendering Settings- Here you can select the amount of decals that will appear throughout a level, or set it to no limit. You can also toggle off the blood, liquid, and pain effects that appear on your screen in-game.
Customize Controls
Before starting your game, make sure you set your key bindings, as Project Brutality features new hot keys for grenades, quick punching, throwing proximity mines, and, most importantly, WEAPON SPECIALS! (More into this later).
Starting a New Game
Project Brutality features two different game modes: “Project Brutality” and “Classic v20”
Project Brutality
The first game mode option is the full Project Brutality experience, with no restrictions on the weapon spawns, the monster item drops, the player, nor the player’s weapon arsenal. This is recommended for first-time players who wish to experience all of the unique weapons, features, complete Project Brutality experience!
Classic v20
The second mode option changes everything into an enhanced edition of the Brutal Doom v20 we’ve all played. This mode uses exclusive weapons restricted in the player’s arsenal to match the feel and balance of Brutal Doom v20. Additionally, this prohibits the player from performing many of Project Brutality’s advanced player and weapon features, such as double-tap dodging, weapon specials and new secondary firemodes, proximity mines, etc. This is for those that prefer a more classic brutal doom experience.
***Note that Classic v20 mode does not affect spawn presets, which means you may still fight Project Brutality monsters and what not, just their weapon drops will be designed to fit the game mode.

Weapon Information (Refer to details in the PDF)
With the expanded variety and enhanced abilities of the monsters in Project Brutality, it is only fair that you’ll be using the most advanced, balanced, and powerful arsenal to ever grace the face of the Doom universe. Each weapon was carefully edited, modified, balanced, stress-tested, and programmed to be the most badass, visually consistent, and heavy-hitting arsenal to ever be featured in the Brutal Doom lore. The look, sound, and overall feel of the weapons feel “alive” in a sense, and are guaranteed to be satisfying.
Each and every weapon in Project Brutality has a secondary fire mode as well as a brand-new “Weapon Special” function. This is unique to every weapon, and can range from dual wielding, selecting fire-modes, tertiary fire, etc. Do take note of this, as this will greatly increase your odds of survival against the hell you are about to face.
Monster Information
The monsters in Project Brutality were designed to bad-ass, consistent with Doom, fair & balanced, challenging, and smart. The monster AI is unlike anything you've seen from regular brutal doom.
- New variants of every creature in doom, all fully brutalized with unique deaths and fatalities, and all have unique and deadly abilities
- Imps can climb on ceilings and ambush you, Mini-gun Commandos will duck and allow enemies to shoot over them while they provide cover fire, Archviles can heal an area of enemies, the Revenant has the ability to use a jetpack (inspired by the Doom reveal), Pinky Demons and Lost Souls will attempt to flank you, and this is barely scratching the surface of what the AI can offer to challenge the player
- Well over one-hundred new deaths, fatalities, brutalizations, and more for each and every creature featured in this mod.
- And the best part, you can choose what you'll face. You decide fight from just classic v20 monsters, to all new varieties of monsters.

I really hope you enjoy this mod as much as I have making it, and explore all of the features it has to offer. This is not the end of Project Brutality. There are plans for future content that I’m already working on such as:
- Alternative Weapon Packs
- New Monster Packs
- Map Packs
- Gameplay Updates/Patches
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
indeed.
Our efforts have been worthy of this mod. Good work team. (epic lol)
reminds me anhul pack voice
Had to refresh the link and update the description, everything should be a go now!
Hey mate. I'm playing the custom WAD 20 years of Doom and I can't see any new weapons or monsters, except marines and axe guys. IS it normal? When I launch normal Doom or D2, there are new monsters. Does it mean, the new spawns don't work with custom WADs? I have the default settings reccomended in your read me rtf file. I also enabled the Brutal doom options in options screen. Please answer my question.
For some reason the mod worked yesterday, but now I get a "very fatal error"
titlemap-Introduction
Unknown floor texture TM_SMOKE' in sector 5
Unknown Ceiling texture TM SMOKE in sector 5
Unknown floor texture TM SMOKE in sector 6
and it goes on to TM PALM 3 TM PALM 2 TM PALM 1 and then to TM PALM NAMES with 3 errors.
I really love your mod and I would love to get it back up and going. Please help!
And one more error: R_InstallSpriteLump: Bad frame characters in lump ATFSA00.
Whats new in the update of June 27th?
all i really found that is new is the new quick attack, ( F by default) which is awesome, and the new options in the settings.

Any chance for a random Monsters spawner mod from this, would love to just play with the changes to the monsters only, thanks if you do :)

i got script error. Named Gameinfo line:3 *Excepted identifier but got *true* instead
Same here. You can try fixing it by yourself.

I'm getting an error that says this:
------------------------------------------------
Execution could not continue.
Script error, "brutalv20.pk3:cvarinfo" line 1:
cvar 'bd_bloodamount' already exists
------------------------------------------------
And yes, I placed each of those .pk3 files in the correct order through ZDL
you dont load it WITH brutal v20, this is a seperate mod.
Thanks, that's why I wondered why that error was popping up.
It's not working. GZdoom 2.0.
Error log
Script error, "Project_Brutality_Final.pk3:cvarinfo" line 1:
cvar 'bd_bloodamount' already exists
that means your source port is trying to load it twice, make sure that only one "Project Brutality" is running
I'm having an identical problem. but I'm 100% positive no other instances of Project Brutality are running

So, all this does is give me a script error when using Project Brutality.pk3.
upgrade your GZDoom and read description. Zandronum is not supported currently if you are loading it with zandronum.
I got it working now.

Apparently there is 50 errors in the DECORATE scripts and tried to register class "RailgunInfrared" more then once. Also there is an error with the "Project Brutality Final.pk3:saw.txt": line 2118
unknown identifier
what are you loading with it, what are you loading on. these questions are important
I'm also getting the 50 errors while parsing the DECORATE scripts error. I just installed gzdoom 2.0.0.1 and trying to load the first DOOM's IWAD. Not loading with anything else, just the Project Brutality .pk3
I saw the same thing with the railgun. I also saw unknown a lot of times, but it's mostly working.
What are the map packs you have for these screenshots?
those are all TNT i believe.
Those are the top four.
I'm talking about all the rest of the screenshots, since most of those don't look anything like TNT, especially since they don't seem to be using stock Doom textures.
Are they FreeDoom?
That's me testing out Sgt. Mark IV's starter pack with Project Brutality
well everything works properly, and holy :::CENSORED::: what a blast! my setup is this btw
doomcoop2-bd-ok
Real Metal Alpha
Project Brutality
then the proper hud wads.
and to be honest, this isnt even fair at all!!! i friggin LOVE it!
Can you provide a links for the first two mods?
you have to message me for real metal 1 and 2.
I was hoping this mod would come back. Now we just need Recurring Nightmare and Beyond Hell and Earth map packs. Pa1nki113r wins, Flawless victory.
pa1nki113r you are the ******* man. Ever since I tried your latest test mod I have been completely in love with this. Also what wads is this mod compatible with?
Any thing that Brutal Doom v20 works with, including the Starter Pack when it comes out, and I'll have a Beyond Hell and Earth comparability patch when it's released as well.
I think he might have given up, his fb page is untouched since January
Does not work
Script error, "GAMEINFO" line 3:
Expected identifier but got 'true' instead.
With the most updated GZdoom and yes i am running it separately
most updated GZDoom is 2.0, this also works with 1.9, that looks like a outdated error
i figured it out lol thanks though
Im playing in ZDL, and i also tried with GZdoom, and get this message as well, along with other errors sometimes. What did you do to get it running ?
God I LOVE that kind of "problem solved kiss my ***!!!"
Share with rest of the class maybe? I have the same problem and I did NOT solve this by myself!
how did you figure this out? Please, what did you do specifically?
Hello!
You must download the latest version of file GZdoom. That is all. Type it in Google and You will find it easly.
I have this happening too. if I drag and drop it on the new GZdoom (2.7.1)i get:
Script error, "GAMEINFO" line 3:
Expected identifier but got 'true' instead.
If I use ZDL I get this:
Script error, "mapinfo" line 2:
Bad syntax.
