Mauler

The Mauler is a weapon from Strife. The Mauler is the only weapon to have two different methods of attack that use the same ammo. The Mauler uses energy pods and energy packs for ammo. The energy pods and packs are also used by the flamethrower.

The primary function of the Mauler works very much like the shotgun from Doom and the Super Shotgun from Doom 2. Enemies that are killed by the Mauler disintegrate.

The secondary function uses more ammo, but shoots off a really big ball of energy which can kill just about anything in one hit, and Inquisitors in two hits if the player is lucky. The player will get hurt a bit when using the secondary function, but not much. After the projectile hits something, a circle of smaller plasma balls will come out to hit other enemies.

The Mauler only appears in one level in the whole game.
