Doom3Quest LessAmmo mod

Harder survival balanced for VR

Many Doom 3 players prefer to experience a more survival-oriented version of the game by using hardcore mods.

However, these mods are typically developed with the PC environment in mind, causing a number of gameplay, compatibility and performance issues when applied to Doom 3 Quest.

This mod was developed specially for Doom3Quest by Dr. Beef and balanced for VR.

I recommend playing the game with this mod on marine(medium) difficulty, but without saving too much.

List of changes short:

• Less ammo pickups
• Less armor pickups
• Reduced light weapons magazines
• Increased heavy weapons magazines
• Large increase of the plasmagun firepower
• Batteries give very few cells
• Pistol and machinegun not gib
• Change order of weapons for more comfortable switching

Now you can quick switch between shotgun and chainsaw for close combat

Also you can faster switch between chaingun and plasmagun without risk of accidentally throw a grenade at your feet. Also between plasmagun and BFG not rocketlauncher anymore and you will use BFG more often.
