Fist being used on MAP02
Fist being used with the berserk pack

The fist is the only weapon in Doom which is always available. Punching is almost useless, however, unless the player has collected a berserk pack, which increases the power of the fists tenfold.

In vanilla Doom, if the player has a chainsaw, he cannot use his fists unless he also has a berserk pack.

The actual punch attack (hitscan) is begun two frames into the punch animation. The fist is not completely extended at this point, but consideration of this lag can help in timing punches effectively.

Notes

The player punches with his left hand; he also shoots the pistol with his left hand, but operates the chainsaw and shotgun with his right hand.

When not punching, the player's hands are shown to be wearing brown gloves (black in the splash screen). When punching, the player's right hand is unadorned, while his left hand carries a knuckleduster.
