Doom Eternal: Mars Core Master Level Ultra-Nightmare [No Hud]

Mars Core is 1 of 2 new official master levels, this is my first UNM clear.
2 areas that I was mostly scared of here, the section immediately after getting the BFG and the smoke filled room. I think I got myself trapped there at one point in both areas so I was kind of lucky to make it out alive.
Had some ammo trouble with the cyber mancs at the very end in my nightmare playthrough, so I decided to just BFG that section once instead of getting myself killed.
Enjoy!

[@SickBoyOC]

I've been watching quite a few of these insane master level runs and I've noticed a trend. -They never use chain gun -Swapping between ice and thermal grenades -Heavy use of precision bolt -Never use plasma rifle except for spirits and shields -Using blade instead of arablast for ballista -Some kind of jump and fire maneuver with the ballista for extra speed Might have to start implementing some of these into my own play style and see how it goes because I do the exact opposite of a lot of these

[@eyesta1ker]

ZM doesn't use chaingun because shield is frankly OP.

[@hjk3351]

What i notice is he keeps his distance with using precision bolt and ballista combo at range, then he meathooks into enemies after having dealt damage with precision bolt and ballista, and when he meathooks into an enemy thats when he uses ice bomb and blood punch. Lock on launch again for reliably and quickly kills targets at range, stick bomb combat shotgun only on cacodemons weakpoint for glory kill, no chain gun rarely uses combat shotgun. Most of the work is done with precision bolt and ballista, lock on launcher, meathook ice bomb blood punch

[@hjk3351]

The mechanic for extra movement is ballista boosting, you shoot the ballista as you jump and it launches you

[@-SBR4Z-]

Also the bfg he never used cuz it’s to op

Good lord dude you're a monster at this game. Mad props.

[@furiousfap3369]

@@theguy1224 you can tap the weapon wheel button on console to quickly switch back to your last weapon, making it pretty easy to simple 2-weapon combos on controller at least. for more advanced quickswapping, there's lots of ways to do it on controller but i know very little about it since I play on PC, where I can keybind each weapon individually. There's plenty of vids on controller quickswapping tho. Starting with simply alternating back and forth btwn the SSG and ballista. you can simply hold the primary fire button down and tap the "switch weapon" button with the right rhythm to perform this combo. It works pretty well against any enemy, but isn't really the best or most efficient for any of them since its slower and less ammo efficient than combos with precision bolt. But its a HELL of a lot better than firing one of these guns, waiting, and then firing it again. Just using this 1 combo is a game changer when you're a beginner. (yes, I'd consider "beat the game once on easy" a beginner. no, this isn't an insult). This game only gets more fun with repeat playthroughs imo, there's a LOT of shit to learn about and master in it, the various difficulties above easy make it harder, but in a way thats fair and just makes it more fun once youre prepared to deal with them, and when you start holding your own on UV or Nightmare consistently you feel like a god. it does take practice tho. I had a hard time with normal mode at first, and now I do Master Levels on Ultra Nightmare for fun. I'm not quite as good as zero master, I mean, almost nobody is... but I'm pretty damn good now - better than I ever thought I could get at any game, especially an FPS - and i use some of the same techniques he does, including those rapid quickswap combos i used to think I'd never get the hang of. I def can't play with no crosshair tho, lmfao. and I wanna see my grenades/blood punch charges. So no HUD is not for me. But like... my point in bringing up my own skills isn't to brag, its to say: Maybe you're not "terrible at video games"... maybe you're just not very good at doom eternal... yet. Doom Eternal is a pretty unique game that few people are good at immediately, even if theyre pretty good at FPS in general. I certainly sucked at it for awhile. Being good at other games, even other FPS will only help you so much in DE. You could be a literal aimbot, but if you dont play DE like youre playing DE, and try to play it like its counter strike or COD or whatever instead, then that flawless aim still wont make you good at doom eternal. Conversely, you could have relatively poor aim that would prevent you from doing well in something like CSGO, but understand doom eternal's systems really well and have developed the muscle memory for quickswapping - like me... and still excel in doom eternal, since DE does not require super precise aim at all. I mean, you the SSG which hits in a huge cone. The sticky bombs which magnet slightly to targets esp. weakpoints and dont damage you. the precision bolt which has a bit of target snapping on it and is frequently used on wkpts/heads with generous hitboxes. the ballista which is pinpoint accurate but shoots a fat enough beam that you dont have to be. Rockets which are either lockon or hugely explodey. 2 types of grenades, a massive melee shockwave punch, microwave beam falters to stop moving targets, and more. Plus some DE enemies like tyrants are literally "broad side of a barn" sized. So you need a bit better than "broad side of a barn" aim, and better aim will be helpful, but excellent aim isnt necessary or sufficient to play doom eternal well. My aim is pretty garbage for someone who plays ANY fps as well as I play DE. The aim thing is just an example. There's many avenues for improvement and many ways to compensate for areas where you're lacking in DE. so basically what im getting at is, if you love these types of games, don't think you have to "done" with doom eternal because you "beat" it once or "100%" ed it or that you're "not good enough at video games" to get better at it. Its a game meant to, in the words of the devs "give you something worthwhile to master" and to "present a fair challenge, not just for the sake of being hard, but so that it pushes you to play in the right way: the fun way". The game is designed to teach you to play it, and to always give you everything you need to succeed, but also to "hold you accountable" - if you dont pick up on the lessons the game tries to teach you, and dont use your tools enough or use them poorly, you die. But You don't have to play like ZM to improve at it and have a good time doing so, and I found the game got more fun as I move up from HMP to UV to Nightmare, even though nightmare REKT me for awhile. on basically everything below UN you arent expected to use absolutely everything or do everything perfectly to succeed. You just have to use most of your stuff pretty well most of the time. Hell, I can do some master levels on UN without BFG, Crucible, Saving throw, or lockon rockets and you're definitely kinda "supposed to" use saving throw for UN, the BFG at certain parts, and lockon rockets somewhat regularly. I can't forgo the chaingun shield, but Zero Master and players like him can. You're definitely kinda "supposed to" use the fuckin HUD, especially a crosshair! but Zero master doesnt need it. So even on UN master levels, you dont need to use absolutely everything to the maximum potential IF you use enough stuff well enough to compensate. UN master levels might definitely just be out of reach for some, but I think almost anyone could at least beat HMP with some patience and learning, especially if they can beat ITYTD. and most people could probably work their way up to being at least decent on ultraviolence with a bit more effort. Going from having a hard time on easy to doing okay on UV is still a HUGE improvement that can feel very rewarding. So maybe its time for a Hurt me Plenty or UV playthrough? These 2 sub-nightmare difficulties are very reasonable, but do push you to learn the mechanics far more than Easy does. But this makes you play in a more fun way. once you're able to do pretty well on HMP, UV really isnt all that much harder than it IMO. Nightmare can be a shock at first even going from UV tho. Demon damage is nearly doubled from UV levels on HMP. 1 caco bite does 150 dmg. Gargoyles rapid slaps do 50. Shield soldiers shotgun at point blank? 130! just to give an idea of how much crazier nightmare is than anything below. You have to use basically everything in your toolkit really well to survive consistently on nightmare, but when you finally CAN survive on it, even only semi-consistently it feels awesome. you naturally end up playing a bit like Zero Master, just not at such an extreme level of zero-mastery. Every enemy feels relevant, even fodder, every tool is invaluable, you end up constantly making more decisions in less time than you even knew your brain could handle. Def dont start on nightmare tho. watch Under the Mayos "beginners guide to doom eternal" and "intermediate guide to doom eternal", then consider starting HMP or UV. Those are really informative vids I recommend to every newbie. Theres no "risk" to starting on UV since you drop it down to HMP at any time if you feel its just too hard, so if youre feeling adventurous, I'd suggest giving UV a solid effort for a bit rather than just going straight to HMP. But if you end up on HMP, theres no shame in that at all. I'd say its pretty ...normal... to only be able to handle HMP till you get more practice... that IS the "normal" difficulty after all. Also if you do start another run and have any questions at all I'd be happy to help! I have almost 1500 hrs experience with this game a borderline encyclopedic knowledge of it cos its my fav game of all time. So I should be able to answer most questions or give you tips on most parts of the game. And at least 50-100 hours of that experience playing is experience sucking at the game pretty badly. I got my ass kicked my first couple playthroughs, and didnt understand a lot of stuff till later than I shouldve. so whatever you could possibly do wrong or have trouble with, I've probably been there.
