Item


 * For the hidden level in Doom RPG, see Items (Doom RPG map).

An item is any thing that may be picked up by a player, such as ammunition, weapons, armors, keys, special gear or powerups, and bonuses.

Doom games
The items flagged with a percent sign (%) count toward the ITEMS percentage displayed on the intermission screen. Items flagged with a number sign (#) are always picked by the player when passed over, even when not needed. Items marked with a superimposed 2 (2) are available only in Doom II and derivatives.

Picking up an item plays the sound effect, or  for a powerup. When an item respawns in multiplayer mode, it does so with a burst of blue fog (sprite series ) and the sound effect.

Health
Health granting items add exclusively to the player's health percentage, as indicated on the status bar. These percentage points count as hit points against damage.

Armor
Armor granting items add exclusively to the player's armor percentage, as indicated on the status bar. These percentage points count as hit points against damage, substituting damage to health to a degree according to the type of armor currently worn by the player.


 * See also: Megasphere (below)

The protection of armor bonuses is 1/2 if the last suit of armor picked up was a megaarmor. A megasphere will also have this effect.

Powerups
Each powerup is a miscellaneous item that grants unique or combined powers or capacities to the player. The manuals call the mundane ones power-ups and the more alien ones artifacts (but also include certain health and armor granting items under this denomination).
