I have it on ps4. It's been years since I've played an fps and I should've known doom is a pc game lol. I did change the bindings on my controller to fit my own personal needs and it's never going to be as easy as on pc but I have a system for each situation where I decide whether to use the tap or just quick switch on the wheel, which takes some practice. If you stick with any of the default bind options they give you on console, you'll never be able to do it.

Tip for those who don't feel like reaching all the way up to the number keys: You can assign up to four weapons to Scroll Up, Scroll Down, or to the additional mouse buttons respectively if you have them. Another important tip: *you can keep holding mouse 1 and your weapon will fire immediately upon swapping to it*

[@rayyanali4471]

This is a useful tip. I got too used to the scrolling and the weapon wheels in games that I find it hard to use the number keys. It does suck that my mouse doesn't have multiple buttons. However you can also quickswitch between current and previous weapon by pressing Q or middle mouse button by default.

PAD PLAYERS REJOICE! After some quick experimenting, this technique works just as well on pad/console. Simply use the weapon wheel to set up the two weapons you want to rotate, and your RB/R1 button will act as your quick switch key. Not as smooth as Keyboard and you wont have as much freedom on the fly, but for big encounters, you're just as equipped.

[@kettenfaust]

That's a really nice tip! Mind sharing your keyboard configuration with us? Cause with all the abilities, I'm wondering how I should best map my weapons in this game.

One thing to note about using the weapon wheel swap button is that when you switch weapons that way instead of the assigned hotkey for the weapon, Doom Slayer will switch weapons slightly slower than if you swap with the hotkeys.

[@kevinmorales4405]

ALSO I'm on playstation and I know it's a minority playing nightmare but for weapon swapping on console you SHOULD always have your ballista and super shotgun equipped beforehand so you can swap those to do back to back shots. Most lethal combo in the game

@Neko16gram in this game you can customize the weapon wheel, you can switch the layout on which weapon is where, you dont have to memorize the games exact weapon wheel.

Both zero master and clockner do this in their Doom Eternal and doom 2016 videos. It's pretty excellent to see, especially when combined with belch, grenades, and the occasional Blood Punch. Damn I'm looking forward to playing this game..

[@CaptPatrick01]

The first time I tired quick-switching back in DooM 2016, I was met with limited success. Turns out it helps when the keyboard has contoured caps that aren't double width. Swapped the old Steelseries out for a new keyboard and I fared a lot better. Maybe I could speed it up even more by getting an MMO mouse, then I could use my thumb and not have to take my finger off the movement keys.

[@nikjojo]

i've had my logitech g600 mmo mouse for years, 12 buttons on the side. it's exceptional with weapon switch. it's also cheap on Amazon if you care

[@artemperesada3454]

I have a steel series rival 600 with 3 buttons on the side of which I use 2 as the 3rd is a bit too far to click comfortably. I use those two for the flame belch and nade launcher, mouse wheel click for chainsaw, this way you have more space around wasd to play with so you can use Q and R for something like SSG and ballista, consider putting the minigun as Z, X as bfg and C as crucible. Caps lock works great as a switch to ice bomb/grenade

Cool to see people adapting the method. I've used it myself since 2016 came out. I don't use mouse wheel to change through weapons normally so I have binded Switch weapon to mouse wheel down. Weapons are binded to different keys around movement keys. Now when I select SSG and Ballista after that and scroll down I will swap between the two. Then I can change the combo for whatever I wish by changing to another from whatever I want to keep paired with it. The secret encounter heavies will melt away with the SSG+Ballista combo. And also this is a very intended mechanic (skipping reload animation) which even Hugo himself utilized when playing the master levels in the preview stream a few weeks before launch.

Hey thanks for this I really thought I was just bad at the game before I knew about this and I was playing on hurt me plenty because Ultra- violence was too hard but now after practicing this I can play on nightmare as though I had been playing doom for the last 5 years it was super useful thank you

FPSs with techniques like this are the reason I wish I played PC lol. But that marauder technique looks usable so I've managed to make SOME use of this vid :)

Some keybinds if anyone wants to try, 1-Sticky nade shotgun, 2- Rocket launcher, 3- Super shotgun, 4-Ballista, 5-Heavy rifle, Z-Heavy machine gun, T- Plasma gun, Q-fire, F-Chainsaw, R- Wheel, C-Mod swap, V-Sword, B-BFG. Grenades are default. Use 2-3-4 to combo, 1 for stickies on cacos and masterminds, 5 is for sniping only, T for breaking shields, Z- not used much unfortunately didn't find much of a use for it. Makes you too slow on Nightmare

The ballista looks so cool in the og doom style

This is what made doom difficult other vames press triangle and you cycle through weapons. Good to see you can do it here to bya little more complicated different buttons for diff weapons i will try this.

What's helped me the most is actually watching zeromaster speedrun and trying to add many of his playstyles into my own, I rush around like I'm speedrunning but i pick up things and chainsaw / glory kill more than you would going for a speedrun so now when I am in an arena it's just sticky bombs and precision shots taking out weapons so fast I barely even know how I do it.

Steam Controller - You can assign your right pad to Look as well as select Menu Items (up to 20). You never have to forgo aim for selecting. Voice Attack - Assign a number to a weapon - Say 1, 2, 3 etc. Response is very fast.

For console player, in case y'all didn't know. if you quickly press the RB button, it will go to the last gun you went to. I use it when using arbalest/supershotgun on mauraders.

Ive done the entire campaign on Nightmare AND the Slayer Gates with a ps4. I had my dash as L3, and my torch as L1... Ive seen players in videos abusing the switch in order to deal with the Marauder easier, plus that rune ‘Saving Throw’ helps alot in Nightmare, extra lives dont really mean anything when you come to a new arenas with enemies that are insanely aggressive with eachother.
