Black Hole Generator - For Brutal Doom V21 Gold and BD Tomtefar's Extension 1.12 addon

A LITTLE BIT OF FANFICTION AND SOME FACTS

Black hole generator. A very rare but incredibly powerful prototype weapon that utilizes plasma ammunition. According to data that was recovered by UAC scientists in the remnants of Delta Labs of Mars City, the weapon was a pet project of doctor Malcolm Betruger and his cultist cronies.

Created sometime in 2130's, the creation of black hole generator served as preparative groundwork for Dr. Betruger's tests with transdimensional teleportation. Even though the prototype's name is black hole generator, in reality it actually does not create a real black hole (since that wouldn't be possible and if it would be - that would cause complete destruction of the planet in mere seconds), but rather it creates a one-way teleportation void which leads straight into Sagittarius A*, the centre of Milky Way galaxy that contains a incredibly massive and powerful black hole.

UAC scientists confirmed that even through the teleportation void the black hole is functioning only at one billionth of its full power, Sagittarius A* is fully capable of pulling objects towards the void and tearing them apart on contact. The overall effective range of the gravitational pull is several dozens of meters, Doom Marine has nothing to worry about it, his boots provide a countermeasure for unstable gravitational changes in atmosphere, which effectively prevents YOU from getting pulled into the void together with demons.

Less than a dozen of experimental units were made in total, so these black hole generators are hard to find (it has 10 % chance to replace BFGs). UAC scientists also found classified documents that mentioned the triumphant success of the black hole generator and mentioned its further development into one that is known solely by the codename "Project Doomsday", but the development of classified "Project Doomsday" has fully stopped since the demonic invasion of Mars City and disappearance of Dr. Malcolm Betruger in 2145.

The weapon is a perfect solution for cleaning up crowded places, although be warned - once you pull the trigger you will be left vulnerable during the weapon's charging period, and according to the observations from battlefield testing, it appears that flying demons such as cacodemons, pain elementals and lost souls are capable of partially resisting the gravitational pull of the void, so the weapon might not be a guaranteed ace in the hole against those three.

PS:
The weapon is a rare replacement for BFG (10 % chance to replace it), the weapon can be acquired without resorting to cheats, but if you are impatient and you just want to fuck some shit up and have some fun, then open up the console and type this
