Project Brutality

Project Brutality is an expansion of the Brutal Doom gore-themed WAD for Zandronum and GZDoom (only engines with known support so far). It is a standalone mod based on Brutal Doom version v20b, and further continues its gameplay expansion and references to the Doom comic. Project Brutality is currently at version 2.03, with version 3.0 under development at beta stage.

This mod is compatible with Doom / The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom.

General changes

 * Dynamic spawn system, affecting what monsters, weapons and items you will encounter. The exact active actors can be switched in the mod's options. By default, the spawn progression follows Doom 2's "episodes", and accordingly, it is divided into four "Tiers":

- Tier I: levels 01-06

- Tier II: levels 07-11

- Tier III: levels 12-20

- Tier IV: levels 21-30 (and secret ones)


 * Expanded weapon arsenal, featuring over twice as many weapons than in Brutal Doom (v20), and some of them inspired by Quake and Duke Nukem games. Most of the weapons include tertiary functions (also called "Weapon Specials"). Few, selected weapons have "weapon upgrades" tied to them, which are their improved versions that replace the old weapons (but can be obtained without the base weapon in possession) and can be found only on Tier IV.


 * Expanded monster roster, with most of the monster types having at least three other "variants" - alternate versions, of increasing threat level and various abilites.


 * Extra power-up types and inventory items.


 * Additional player abilities, e.g.: a "dash" dodging maneuver (performed by tapping twice a movement key), double jump, or taking meatshields (by punching a fatally wounded Zombieman/Sergeant/Imp while berserk).


 * Larger variety of Doomguy's voice commands: taunts, as well as one-liners (which can also happen automatically, if the player slays many monsters within a short period in a particularly brutal fashion) and weapon acquisiton quotes.


 * New death animations and fatalities, complementing introduced monster variants.

Weapon changes
There are three game modes, and each has their own general weapon loadout changes:


 * Project Brutality: Weapons are as described in the below subsections. Player starts with the UAC Pistol and UAC-30 DMR by default. All specialized features of this modification are in effect, including Weapon Specials and the weapon upgrades.


 * Classic v20 Mode: Weapon loadouts and drops conform to Brutal Doom's standard. All features not in vanilla Brutal Doom are disabled. REMOVED IN VERSION 3.0


 * Traditional: "Vanilla" Doom experience, all loadouts and drops same as in original games, with all custom changes removed. All weapons have new models, unlike Brutal Doom, which kept the original ones from 1993/1994.

Fists (Slot 1)
Now support combo system: alternate primary and secondary attacks to execute combos that finish in highly damaging haymaker. Regarding unarmed combat, it is also worth noting that the player always has access to a Machete. This special melee weapon can be used at any time via its dedicated quick-key (as long as they are not dual-wielding their current weapon), and like Fists and kicks Machete is affected by Berserk's damage boost.

Unlike Brutal Doom, when a Berserk Pack/Demon Strength Rune is acquired, then the player's fists will have veins visible.

You can grab barrels, by punching them. You can grab both nukage and burning barrels. When a barrel is picked up, with left click you can throw the barrel, but with right click you can place it down harmlessly, which can be used to set up traps, even if that is unpractical. An inconsistency: when grabbing a bloody barrel the blood will be gone when the barrel is picked up.

You can also grab small enemies (Zombieman, Shotgunguy and Imp) if they're in 'dying' state by punching them (lost arm, hit in the face, guts spilling and lost leg). Oddly enough, when picking up an enemy and using it as a meatshield, they will appear perfectly fine even though they just were screaming at their lost leg. With left click you can throw the enemy, with right click you can magically make the meathshield's head explode. Meatshield's head can also explode when it takes too much damage. After the head is gone, the meatshield is dropped as it is considered useless.

Also, unlike Brutal Doom, in version 3.0, fists can be stained with blood. It comes in all three colors! Normal red, Cacodemon blue, and Hell Knight/Baron of Hell green! This feature may have been inspired by Shadow Warrior, a game where your fists can also be stained in blood. But there's a bug, that when switching to Rip And Tear Mode! from Smash Mode when your hands are bloody the blood will be gone for the duration of the switching/knuckle cracking animation.

Primary: Left Jab

Secondary: Right Hook

Weapon Special: When the Berserk Pack/Demon Strength Rune effect is on the player, this button toggles between the classic "Smash mode" (smash enemies into gibs) and "Rip and Tear Mode" (enables Brutal Doom fatalities) There are new fatality animations for the new enemy variants, and some additional animations for the vanilla monsters.

Weapon entity name: 'Melee_Attacks' -- The same name as in Brutal Doom.

Chainsaw (Slot 1)
Primary: Attack similar to Brutal Doom v20b chainsaw, with a rare secondary attack animation during attacks (in version 3.0 there are 3 different animations for the primary attack that happen randomly)

Secondary: The chainsaw is used as slashing melee weapon, and can be combined with the kick attack for combos

Weapon Special: This command allows the player to quickly fire off a shot with the Sawed Off Shotgun (if in the player's possession) while the Chainsaw is equipped as a backup/auxiliary attack. '''Worth noting, that in version 3.0, the super shotgun when used with the chainsaw still uses version 2.03 model, and isn't affected by the super shotgun quad barrel upgrade. Most likely a temporary inconsistency, since version 3.0 is still a beta.'''

Weapon entity name: 'Chainsaw'

UAC .45 Standard Issue Handgun (Slot 2)
15(16 in version 3.0)round pistol. A backup sidearm and a starting weapon along with UAC-30 DMR. Thanks to greatly increased rate of fire (allowing for actual semi-automatic fire) and the dual-wielding option it can be significantly more effective than the classic Pistol.

Primary: Fire

Secondary: Equips/de-equips a silencer. Silenced shots do less damage but do not alert enemies in the vicinity. Good for silent kills when stealth is preferred

Weapon Special: Allows the player to dual-wield Pistols if they have two in their possession (unsilenced pistols only in version 2.03, but version 3.0 added ability to dual wield silenced pistols)

Weapon entity name: 'BDPistol' -- still the same entity name as the Brutal Doom pistol.

UAC .500 Magnum/UAC .50 Hand Cannon (Slot 2)
Renamed to UAC .500 Magnum in version 3.0

Tier II weapon. A powerful revolver. In version 2.03 each shot consumes 2 units of pistol-type ammo (actually consumed only during reload). But in version 3.0 this has been corrected, and now the weapon correctly displays ammo count.

Primary: Fire

Secondary: Western (as in cowboy-western) trigger "fanning", which makes for faster shots but lowers accuracy

Weapon Special: Allows the player to dual-wield Revolvers, if they have two in their possession

Weapon Upgrade in version 3.0: Currently unobtainable normally, but can be obtained with command 'give deagle'. Replaces the revolver with a Desert Eagle, called UAC .50 Hand Cannon, has 11+1 ammo in the mag, can be dual wielded, but has a bug when dual wielded that the ammo counter doesn't count the ammo from the left gun. Western trigger "fanning" is replaced with ironsights.

Weapon entity name: 'Revolver', or upgraded: 'Deagle'

BUG: In version 3.0, when you reload the dual wielded revolvers, then the right revolver is loaded twice, and the left revolver isn't loaded at all.

UAC-Compact SMG (Slot 2)
Tier III weapon. Rapid-fire submachinegun.

Primary: Hip fire, less accurate than when fired while aiming down sights

Secondary: Use iron sights

Weapon Special: Activates/deactivates laser sight add-on that increases accuracy and reduces spread, but can alert enemies to your presence. In version 3.0 this is removed, and replaced with dual wielding if you have a second SMG.

Weapon entity name: 'CompactSMG'

12-Gauge Pump Shotgun (Slot 3)
Pump action shotgun. Can use two - or three, with the upgrade - different ammo types (which all consume Shell ammo supply).

Primary: Hip-fire

Weapon Special: Switch shells for different effects:


 * Buckshot: Standard damage

 * Dragon's Breath: Incendiary pellets that can light targets on fire and leave temporary fires on the ground *Upgrade only*

Weapon Upgrade: In version 2.03, only adds ability to use Dragon's Breath shells, but in version 3.0 also adds a magazine, increasing the max shell count from 8+1 to 11. Oddly enough, in version 3.0 you can still obtain Dragon's Breath shotgun shell-only upgrade without the mag using a console command.

Weapon entity name: 'Shot_Gun' or 'Shotgun'.

Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun/Quad Barrel Shotgun (Slot 3)
The new version of Super Shotgun.

Primary: Both barrels fire like Super Shotgun, with extra recoil

Secondary: Single-barrel fire

Weapon Special: Dual-wield shotguns, if two are owned

Weapon Upgrade: Adds two more barrels to the shotgun, turning it into a quad-barrel killing machine. Replaces dual wielding with switching between "half blast mode", which makes it fire two barrels at a time, or "full blast mode", firing all four barrels at once.

Weapon entity name: 'SSG' or 'SuperShotgun', upgraded: 'Quad_SSG'

Automatic Shotgun (Slot 3)
Tier III weapon. A fully automatic shotgun. Starts out with a 12-shell tube magazine that requires manual reload.

Primary: Automatic fire. Less accurate in comparison to the Pump Shotgun

Secondary: Flak cannon-like burst of penetrating, bouncing shot. Consumes two shotgun Shells per burst

Weapon entity name: 'Rifle'

UAC-41 Carbine/UAC-49 Light Machine Gun (Slot 4)
Tier II weapon. A faster-firing alternative to UAC-30.

Primary: Fire

Secondary: Use scope, greater accuracy

Weapon Special: Cycle between semi-auto, three burst shot, or full-automatic modes (also can be changed to allow dual-wielding Carbines in version 2.03; LMG replaces any of these with toggleable laser sight in version 2.03) In version 3.0, if the weapon is upgraded to Light Machine Gun, then instead you can switch from "drum magazine", which has 60+1 max ammo in the drum, or "ammo belt", which disables reloading,but also disables usage of ironsights, and decreases accuracy.

Weapon Upgrade: Replaces the weapon with a UAC-49 Light Machine Gun.

Weapon entity name: 'Carbine'

Also in version 3.0 the sprite is replaced with a improved one, which is inspired by the 2005 Doom movie.

UAC-Mach-3 Minigun (Slot 4)
Sextuple-barreled rotary machine gun.

Primary: Fire

Secondary: Prespins barrels. Lowers accuracy

Weapon Special: Toggles between Standard/Triple mode Upgrade only In version 3.0, when switching to a new weapon while the Weapon Special is active, the Weapon Special will automatically turn off, probably for balance reasons.

Primary: Fire currently selected grenade type

Secondary: Detonate any live grenades you have fired (especially useful with sticky grenades)

Weapon Special: Cycle grenade types:


 * Impact: high-explosives of moderate splash effect


 * Sticky: these grenades do not explode on impact, only adhering to the encountered surface. They either explode after a moment or via SGL's remote detonator function


 * Incendiary: bombard your foes with napalm


 * Cryo: the freezing type (safe for the user)


 * Acid: bouncing once, these canisters are full of caustic agent that is released in gaseous from. Very powerful and exceedingly painful, but also highly unsafe to use - be sure your aim is true

Weapon entity name: 'Super_Grenade_Launcher'

M1 Plasma Rifle (Slot 6)
Sometimes designated "M1" to differentiate it from M2 Plasma Rifle. Less powerful per shot, but has faster rate of fire and faster bolts. Retains the cooldown animation at the end of each volley, that was characteristic of the original Doom's Plasma Rifle. Like all Slot 6 and 7 weapons, M1 Plasma Rifle stores 50 Cell ammo units worth of charge in its capacitor.

Primary: Fire hot plasma to melt your enemies

Secondary: Charge up a plasma shotgun blast. Consumes 12 Cell ammo units. Cancel the charge by pressing reload (the charge can also be withheld for indefinite time without consuming additional ammo)

Weapon Special: Dual-wield if two M1 Plasma Rifles are in player's possession

Weapon Upgrade in version 3.0: Turns it into an Dark Matter Rifle. Fires more powerful projectiles that will vanish enemies and the secondary fire now creates a black hole like the Black Hole Generator, but weaker.

Weapon entity name: 'BFG9000' or 'BIG_FUCKING_GUN_MKIV'

BFG 11K Plasma Beam (Slot 8)
Tier III weapon. A specialized, prototype variant of BFG that focuses on rapid-firing capability. Resembling an energy minigun of sorts, BFG11K needs a moment to spin-up and cooldown after each volley, but compensates this downside with an extremely high damage-over-time potential.

Primary: Plasma Beam (ideal for large hordes)

Secondary: BFG Chaingun (ideal for larger enemies)

Weapon Special: N/A In version 3.0 shows "weapon special not available in classic mode!", even if you're playing on Project Brutality gamemode, instead of showing nothing, as the weapon special doesn't exist.

Secondary: Fire unguided rocket/triple beam

Weapon Special: Cycle weapon modes (Seeker Missiles/Beamgun)

Weapon entity name: 'HellishMissileLauncher' -- the same name as in Brutal Doom.

Demon Tech Rifle (Slot 9)
Tier IV weapon. Hell's in-house small arms technology. Also called "Hell Rifle". Obtained solely from killed Demon Tech Troopers. Its ammo is derived from Demon Essence, collected from fallen demons. Demon Tech Rifle functions mostly akin to the plasma rifles, but differs from them in exotic projectile types and unique alternate attacks.

Secondary: Fire a seeking spirit that will possess a monster to fight for you/Shrink Ray similar to Duke Nukem 3D.

Weapon Special: Cycle weapon modes (Inferno/Caustic).

Weapon entity name: 'Hell_rifle' or 'InsanityRifle'.

Hand Grenades
On par with rockets in terms of damage. Along with Proximity Mines, they can be procured from special explosive ordinance boxes (found amongst Rocket Launcher ammo).

Entity name: 'HandGrenadeAmmo'

Proximity Mines
Plantable version of grenades, will detonate only when enemy enter their blast arc. Significantly more potent than hand grenades. Can be defused with Use key.

Entity name: 'MineAmmo'

Stun Grenades
Added in version 3.0

Grenades, which stun enemies, preventing them from attacking for a limited time. While stunned enemies will make pain noises, like if they get hurt by these grenades, but in reality stun grenades don't deal any damage.

This grenade uses a sprite that is a modified Doom 3 grenade sprite, it even uses the same throwing animation.

Entity name: 'StunGrenadeAmmo'

Leech (?)
A secret equipment item added in version 3.0

Can be only obtained only by the command 'give leechgrenade'. When switching equipment, this item is simply called 'leech'. It functions in a different manner than the rest of the equipment items: It uses Demon energy/essence as ammo; when used it fires a beam of energy that stun locks and damages an enemy for a few seconds.

It has a very bizarre appearance: It looks like a small head of a death worm; when used it appears to be attached to Doomguy's hand, as there is something that resembles veins coming from the leech that is attached to Doomguy's fingers.

When picked up it says "What the fuck is this thing..?".

Entity name: 'LeechGrenade'

Items
Thsese inventory items can be occasionally found in the place of Backpacks:

Combat Backpack
Provides large amounts of every type of ammo, increases ammo supply capacity even further than the standard Backpack and restores 50 HP.

Entity name: 'CombatBackpack'

Portable Medic Backpack
Works like the Duke Nukem 3D's Portable Medkit. Can restore up to 100 HP per piece (only a single Medical Backpack can be carried).

UAC Distress Beacon
Can summon Marines as NPC controlled allies (up to 3).

UAC Automatic Sentry Gun
A stationary machine gun platform that can be deployed to assist in holding certain positions. Can be destroyed, but once destroyed, can be recovered by pressing the "use" key on it (picking it back as the special item that it is). Susceptible to friendly fire.

IN VERSION 3.0 IT FUNCTIONS DIFFERENTLY:

No longer it can be recovered after being destroyed. But if it is intact, then you can pick it back up as a item and transport it and use it in a different location, as long as it's intact, there's no limit how much times you can do that.

Swarmer & Electricity Pods
Two special types of grenade-like means of attack. Swarmer releases a pack of fast-cutting drones that move fast along the ground, whereas Electricity Pod launches bouncing robots that emit high-voltage pulses repeatedly. They both inflict extremely high damage to enemies in their area of effect, and last for about 10 seconds. As they both are very rare items, Swarmer and Electric Pods should be saved for most difficult engagements (e.g. immediate teleport ambushes - since these weapons can travel through teleports, like grenades do).

These both don't work in version 3.0

New Powerups
All of these powerups are randomly spawned from slain enemies:

Demon Essence/Energy
The most common powerup. Demon Essence/Energy is dropped by slain demons (Former Humans never leave this in version 2.03, but do in version 3.0). Comes in Lesser and Greater sizes. Lesser Demon Essence restores 2 AP, whereas Greater Demon Essence - 4 AP and 2 HP. Both varieties can empower you above health/armour limit of 100. Also provides ammo for Hell Rifle (Lesser DE - 2 ammo units, Greater DE - 10 ammo units). Differently than other powerups, Demon Essence/Energy fades out in roughly a minute. Also ammo for the Leech.

Demon Strength Rune
Inherited from Brutal Doom. Heals 10 HP and grants Berserk effect for the remainder of the level. Drops more frequently than the rest of new powerups.

Double Damage Sphere
Doubles inflicted damage for 30 seconds.

Rage Sphere
Doubles the speed of all weapon animations (firing, reloading, other functions) for 30 seconds.

Time Sphere
Freezes enemies and projectiles in place for 10 seconds. Gives a golden tint over the screen. Seems to be randomly dropped only by some of the strongest of enemy variants (e.g. Black Imps, Vocabuli, Flesh Wizards).

Revenant Morph Rune
Transforms the player into a Revenant. The Revenant has 800 HP and two attacks: a punch and its missile launchers. Also, you can use the Weapon Special command to activate its jetpack. Transformation lasts for around 60 seconds.

Baron of Hell Morph Rune
ADDED IN VERSION 3.0

Turns the player into a Baron. Functions similar to the Brutal Doom counterpart.

Monsters
Project Brutality also introduces "variant" types of each monster. These tend to sport increased strength and toughness over the original monster, as well as new abilities and powers. They can spawn with a varying frequency, depending on the chosen spawn setting.

Former Human Variants
The zombie-soldiers now utilize more varied tactics (e.g. throwing grenades, evasive rolls, crouch-fire). Their new variants are the most numerous, and come with widely different armaments:
 * Trooper variants: Axe Zombie, Chainsaw Zombie, Pistol Trooper, Riot Shield Trooper, Lieutenant, Minigun Trooper, Plasma Trooper
 * Sergeant variants: Pyro Trooper, Rocket Trooper, Z-Sec Ops, Quad Shotgun Trooper, Auto Shotgun Trooper, Zombie Patrol, Hell Trooper, Suicide Trooper
 * Commando variants: HMG Commando (Removed in version 3.0), LMG Commando
 * Wolfenstein-SS variants: Evil Marine, Nazi

Imp Variants
Some imp variants now have the ability to cling on ceilings.


 * Dark Imp: Stronger version of Imp. It has more HP and able to fire homing energy balls that deal more damage than a regular fireball.

There are several types of dark imp apart from the basic dark imp. They can be identified due to the shape of their body and eye color: It is known as Nami Dark Imp, this has the shape of the basic Imp, has yellow eyes and shoots plasma balls that chase slightly to its target. It is known as St Dark imp, it has the form of one of the variants of the classic imp, it has red eyes and shoots more weak plasma balls but much faster and does not chase its target. It is known as Void Dark Imp, The third variant is a Dark version of one of the variants of the classic Imp, has dark orange eyes and a slightly more intimidating appearance, is slower than the other variants but more resistant, shoots plasma balls that do moderate damage and no tracking. It is known as Nether Dark Imp, It has the same appearance as the previous variant, but with green eyes, it is very resistant and also has two different attacks, the first one charges acid balls that take approximately 1 second and inflict damage that can vary from very low to high, the second attack takes the same as the first but instead of invoking acid balls invokes balls of electricity and plasma that travel at moderate speed and inflict very high damage that can reach 50 hp, caution is advised. It is known as Savage Imp. Added in version 3.0
 * The first variant (Basic):
 * The second variant (Basic 2):
 * The third variant:
 * The fourth variant:
 * The fifth variant:

Lost Soul Variants

 * Phantasm: Has the same model with the Lost Soul but with green flames. Extremely relentless. Explodes on death, making it more dangerous in close combat

Revenant Variants
(If the "Offending" key is used, it will get angry, becoming a temporary Revenant and triggering a quick succession of the basic Revenant rockets, then it will return to its normal state).
 * Beam Revenant: This Revenant is armed with a beam cannon, firing with deadly precision. The beam attack is weaker, but faster than homing missiles, and consequently it is especially difficult to dodge at longer ranges
 * Draugr Revenant: is a hellish version of the classic Revenant, has a much greater resistance and considerably greater damage, is armed with two guns on the shoulders that fire projectiles fire traveling at high speed.

Demon Variants
Like a couple other monsters, in Project Brutality the Pinky Demon has a special 'agonized' state: sometimes after losing an arm (caused by depleting their health), a Pinky may become berserk and resume hostilities with increased celerity, but will expire soon from blood loss, even without causing anymore damage to it.


 * Blood Demon: Has large horns and is dark-reddish in color. Way more aggressive, it runs and bites much faster. Also has slightly more HP than original Pinky
 * Mech Demon: More similar to the original but with cybernetic legs and spiked armour plate along the spine. Has higher HP than its brethren
 * Void Spectre: This Spectre variant, while not the hardest or the most damaging is very fast and can easily confuse your target running from one side to another has a dark gray skin almost black and a large red eye similar to a cyclops. It s a bit more resistant than a classic Pinky but is considerably faster, unlike the other variants this can create a kind of hallucinations to confuse your opponent. It is recommended to keep it at bay

Cacodemon Variants
Project Brutality version of Cacodemon is able to evade slower projectiles, making it trickier to deal with.


 * Inferno Cacodemon: A magma-like version of Cacodemon. It shoots a fireball rather than a lightning ball. The fireball is slower, but bigger and thus harder to evade in tight quarters. Rarely, Inferno Cacodemon will summon Watchers (small critters that resemble fledgling Cacodemons and fire fast, purple energy pulses). Watchers can also spawn on occasion after their "parent's" death (much like how a Pain Elemental leaves some Lost Souls in the wake of its demise)
 * Afrit: Another floating, fire-elemental demon, that has a body similar to the upper part of a Baron of Hell. Has two types of attacks. One is fast fireball projectile and one is a concentrated fireball that deals more damage

Pain Elemental Variants

 * Suffering Elemental: Has the same body as Pain Elemental, but with green eyes and mouth. Summons Phantasms instead of Lost Souls
 * Trite Elemental: Roughly white-skinned version of Pain Elemental, with a characteristic, sewn-together mouth. Summons Trites (small, spider-like monsters that can swarm you easily if left unchecked)
 * Overlord: A very powerful demon that can kill the player quickly if not dealt with carefully. Resembles a black Cacodemon, but unlike them Overlord has six arms, and multiple attacks. First, its melee attack is extremely damaging. Secondly, it is able to teleport around to both avoid engaging the player, or to approach them up close quickly. Thirdly, it will fire a barrage of energy balls. Fourth, it can summon a powerful homing orb that deals a large amount of damage (the orb can be destroyed by shooting it). Finally, the Overlord can create a demonic shockwave that summons red lightning: seemingly moving at random directions, but still able to track the player. This lightning attack deals massive damage - possibly the most out of all monster attacks - and can kill even a well-prepared player within an instant

Mancubus Variants

 * Daedabus: A green-skinned Mancubus that fires toxic projectiles. Can inflict poison-like afterdamage upon the player
 * Volcabus: Dark-skinned version. Harder than his brothers and armed with demonic launchers that cast that hellish, skull-looking fireballs that travel at a very high speed and inflict very great damage, this variant has a melee attack which is a jump that inflicts very serious damage - high, however he will only use it against the players

Arachnotron Variants

 * Demon-Tech Arachnotron: An Arachnotron that shoots Inferno bolts. These strike both faster and harder than ordinary plasma projectiles, turning this Arachnotron variant into a competent sniper
 * Arachnophyte: an Arachnotron similar in appearance to a black Mastermind Spider (its appearance changed radically in PB 3.0, having an appearance similar to a basic Arachnotron with red and black eyes) of aircraft type equipped with a heavy machine gun (Two in PB 3.0)
 * Elite Arachnotron: The most powerful version. Has higher HP and shoots even more damaging barrages of dark matter plasma of purple color

Hell Knight Variants
Standard Hell Knight - in addition to the triple volley attack mentioned above - can now perform a charge attack: running and jumping at you while doing a hammer punch, for great damage. Moreover, sometimes he can - after losing an arm - enter a last stand stance and continue to hurl plasmaballs at you.


 * Cyber Hell Knight: Cyborg version of Hell Knight. More durable and equipped with a chaingun, freezegun and missile launcher.(if you are lucky in making a fatality the player can reprogram the Cyber ​​Knight to fight for his side for the rest of the level)
 * Hell Paladin: An even more powerful version of Hell Knight with a shield that can deflect a lot of your firepower. Armed with a grenade launcher and fireball gun (installed into its shield). Requires heavy ordinance in order to penetrate its defenses

Baron of Hell Variants
Project Brutality Barons of Hell - much like their underlings Hell Knights - received an enhanced, alternate version of the plasmaball attack: a Baron will on chance fire a quintuple volley, with a wide spread.


 * Cyber Baron: Just like the Hell Knight, the Baron of Hell also has its own cyborg version. Cyber Baron's weapons include flamethrower and rocket launcher, but unlike Cyborg Hell Knight retains the ability to throw his plasmaballs. The Cyber Baron's appearance is almost similar to a Cyberdemon with one mechanical leg and one rocket launcher attached to its arm
 * Belphegor: This demon has 4 reptilian legs and is brown in color, appearing like a centaur version of Hell Knight. Belphegor is very fast, strong and able to launch more powerful energy balls with huge splash damage. Extremely deadly in tight quarters
 * Infernus: A fire-elemental demon similar to an orange Baron of Hell with black legs and hooves on fire. Infernus has several attacks: his first attack is a ball of infernal fire that can set fire to a target. His second attack is the same as the previous one but throws a bigger ball that takes a little more time. The third and last attack is to hit the ground which takes half a second and summon a wave of giant, orange fiery spikes that inflict around 80-100 HP and also have a very high range and leave everything on fire in its path inflicting less damage. The damage it inflicts is the one of the highest in the game and is almost impossible to evade in confined spaces. Extreme caution is recommended

Arch-Vile Variants
In Project Brutality, regular Arch-Viles have expanded skillset. In addition to their fire blast and resurrection spells, they can also spawn Imps or Afrits, perform a firecrawler attack or heal nearby demons.


 * Ice-Vile: Ice-elemental variant of Arch-Vile, tougher and faster than their relatives. Instead of sight-based fire blasts, Ice-Vile casts homing cryo-projectiles that cause a big splash damage. Uniquely, it can also summon Ice Imps, which are way more powerful and resistant compared to ordinary Imps. In addition, both Ice-Viles and Ice Imps will enter hibernation-like state if they sustain fatal damage, and will recover with partially restored health if not finished off quickly
 * Flesh Wizard: An ominous apparition that remains invisible except when attacking. Flesh Wizard moves at incredible speeds, trying to disorient and exhaust you before suddenly stopping and launching a blood-looking powerful projectile. It is also suprisingly resilient for its relatively small frame. Extreme caution is advised
 * Hellion: It is another variant of the Arch-Vile, this variant seems to be elemental infernal fire, it is strong orange in appearance and without horns and a long tail. Hellion has several attacks: the first one is a infernal fireball that does a high damage and travels to great speed. The second attack is very similar to the common attack of the Arch Vile, but inflicts considerably more damage. Its last attack usually serves to mislead the prey, since in this Hellion travels at a huge speed - using fire as the conduit - setting fire on its path

Spider Mastermind Variants

 * Demolisher: Upgraded version of Spider Mastermind. Armed with twin gatling cannons that shoot explosive rounds. But most dangerously, it also can fire BFG 9000 blasts
 * Juggernaut: A grey Mancubus (formerly the skin for the Daedabus before PB 2.0) mounted on a tank apparatus. Armed with two massive miniguns taking the place of the twin cannons and dual rocket pods on the sides of the chassis. Can crush player by driving over them with tank. Extremely durable and also fast for its size, Juggernaut necessitates an enormous amount of punishment to be brought down
 * Super Mastermind: It is a version equal to the classic Spider Mastermind, only that much bigger and considerably more resistant, only appears as a boss in the remastered version of the final level of Doom 1

Cyberdemon Variants

 * Annihilator: A Cyberdemon with both mechanical legs and armed with rocket launchers at both hands. With two rocket launchers on hand, Annihilator can fire twice as fast, making him even more dangerous than a normal Cyberdemon and arguably the most dangerous foe in Project Brutality
 * Cyberdemon Lord Of Deimos: This version is very similar to the classic version with the difference of being much bigger and more resistant compared to the common one, just as the classic Cyberdemonium has the ability to crush your target if it approaches, only appears as a boss in the new Remastered final level of the Tower of Babel

New changes in Project Brutality 3.0
Here is a list of some of the changes made in the mod for the future 3.0 version:


 * Ledge-grabbing player ability (the player character will automatically mantle upon ledges if they jump and reach the edge at arms' height).


 * New weapons: Excavator, replacing Heavy Grenade Launcher; and Nailgun, replacing HMG. (The Nailgun has a secondary fire that shoots 20 nails at once in a shotgun-like spread. Its weapon special switches it to "spear mode", which shoots javelins that deduct 20 ammo with every shot. Its secondary fire heats up the nail and imbues the fired javelin with shield piercing properties.)


 * The weapon special for the Railgun switches it into microwave mode, which features multiple charge levels.


 * New weapon upgrades: magazine upgrade (comes along with Dragon's Breath ammo type) for Pump Shotgun, Quad Shotgun for Sawed-Off Shotgun, Underbarrel Grenade Launcher for DMR, M1 Dark Matter Plasma Rifle for M1 Plasma Rifle, Lightning Gun mode for M2 Plasma Rifle, Unmaker Cannon for Mancubus Cannon, Hand Cannon for Revolver.


 * Various weapon changes, including balance tweaks and visual overhauls.


 * New powerups: Haste, Quad Damage, Baron of Hell Transformation Rune.


 * New monster variants: Chainsaw Zombie, Savage Imp, Draugr (Revenant variant), Void Spectre, Infernus (Baron of Hell variant), Hellion (Arch-Vile variant).
