Legacy Edition: "how to be a badass?". Step one feature

How to be a badass on Duke 3D: Legacy Edition?

Soooo... You have downloaded this mod, played it a little, but you're completely lost on how to play it properly, right? Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you on your quest to be the best badass Duke Nukem 3D player ever (100% humble). Today we are gonna learn about the armory.

BUT, before we continue, have you already downloaded the new version of the mod? If not, check the download section, there's even a patch for the 1.0 version.

Step 1: know your armory

A cool thing about Legacy Edition, is that you play it with the original Duke's armory PLUS alpha/beta weapons. But, there's a catch, the weapons, so as the game, are all rebalanced, so now, you must know how they work properly.

The weakest of your weapons, but the most precise, semi-automatic, you can use it to shoot your enemies on far distances, but, if want to do a "one-click kill" on, let's say the Lizard Trooper, use it's Alt. Fire mode, it shoots five bullets on a burst, causing more damage than the regular fire mode, BUT, you're gonna lose all of your precision.

The shotguns will be your primary weapon for the most part, they are very different from each other.
The first one, the Regular Shotgun (beta shotgun version) is the weakest, it needs two shots to kill a regular Pig Cop, but it's very precise (for a shotgun), so you can use it as a medium range weapon. The second shotgun, Double Shotgun, is less precise (close range), BUT has more punch, 1 hit kill on the Pig Cop (if you don't miss any of the shots) and it has a Alt. Fire mode with a fast double shot, less powerful and less precise, but can save your ass on some situations. One last thing, its cock time is slower than the regular one.

The Chaingun is a bit faster than before, but carries the same damage output. Very effective against the Octabrain and the Pig Cops. The Plasma Gun is the new kid on the block, similar to the shotgun (as intended to be a replacment for it in episode 2) it shoots a burtst fire of 5 microplasmas, that can deal a pretty good amount of damage and its Alt. Fire can stun your enemies for a second, giving you the time to dodge and blow him up.

The RPG has been modified to the core, it's fast, VERY FAST, and has a drop velocity and no splash damage. It can deal a great damage to the enemy, it's 1 hit kill to the Octabrain and has a Alt. Fire mode that makes the Rocket spawn mini-bombs that bounces 2 times before exploding (they have splash damage).
As the Ultra RPG, it has a bigger missile with a big splash damage, be carefull when using it.

No changes to it.

The Shrinker has not been changed, but the Expander is now totally different. It shoots a regular projectile, when it hits a enemy, it gorw a bit, until his health is zeroed (sometimes not) and he starts to grow like crazy and blows up to the bits. It has a quite good splash damage whenn the monster explodes.

Oh boy, my favorite. Didn't change that much, it's now faster and has drop velocity. Be careful when using it.

The Freezethrower, now, does more damage. The Flamethrower can burn your enemies (be careful to not burn yourself, if you do that, dive into the water) and its Alt. Fire mode shoots a Napalm kind of projectile which works kind as a cluster bomb.

Now you know how and when to use your weapons, just don't shoot yourself (can happen, I'm not judging).

Stay tuned, there's a new version of the mod available as well as a patch for everybody who has already downloaded the 1.0 version. See you next time.
