MAP01: Pistol Panic (Community Chest)

MAP01: Pistol Panic is the first map of Community Chest. As per the title, you are forced to use the pistol for much of the level. It also contains voodoo dolls sprinkled throughout the level to make combat more dangerous. It was designed by Stephen "The Ultimate DooMer" Clark.

Essentials
Open the three doors to the north. Go to the northwest of the passageway, and head into the center of the level. Enter the building, grab the yellow key, and reenter the passage way to the northeast. Climb up to the yellow door, open it, and then open the next door. Go down the stairway, and distract the Arachnotron by standing at the southeast until it moves away from the switch. Run to the switch, which will cause a crusher to start, and flip the switch. Run back up the stairs and wait until the Arachnotron and most of the Imps are dead (from the crusher or infighting,) and then drop back down and grab the red key. Leave the room, and go around to the west side of the level. Open the red door, open the door after that one, and open the one in the southeast of the next room. Go around the Cacodemon and flip the switch. Run to the opening in the north of the room, and go around to the switch south of the building. Flip it, reenter the building, and climb up onto the southern walkway. Flip the switch, return to the building, and take the lift in the center. Go through the western opening and grab the blue key. Leave the room, and go to the north of the passageway. Open the blue door, followed by the next door, and press the switch.
