Doom Exp - 2.5 news

Cryobow specifics:

Primary fire = Frost bolt
Alternative fire = Charge bolts. The more you charge the more bolts get added. Highest charge is similar to the mini nuke but with a lower blast radius and doesn't hurt the player.

Cryobow store upgrades:

Cluster bomb = Frost bolt that can bounce off of walls and has a frost cluster explosion on impact.
High powered ballista = Two argent powered bolts. It also converts your frost cluster bolt into a cluster explosion bolt.

Cacodemons swallow grenades just like in Doom Eternal.

2.5 Dev Build already has some cool new features like the Phoenix Dash Attack and Glacier Smash Attack:
