Classes
There are 3 Classes in this mod that you can play as:
Machinegun guy
Armed with: Pistol and Machinegun.
• The pistol is the most powerful and accurate pistol in this mod but it isn't automatic and quite slow.
• The Machinegun eats ammo fast but deals a ton of damage per second.
• Minigun (Special weapon), slows you down when you're firing it but great for taking out large groups in an open space.
Shotgun guy
Armed with: Automatic-pistol and Shotgun.
• The Automatic pistol is a lot more accurate than the shotgun, it may seem week at first but it does send targets quickly falling with consecutive hits.
• The shotgun is useless for long range, but for close range, it can kill a fully armoured player in 2 hits.
• Flamethrower (Special weapon), melts all tiers of enemies very fast but has a limited range.
Rifle guy
Armed with: Uzi and Rifle.
• The Uzi is only useful at close range. It works really well against crouds of weaker enemies and stunning stronger ones. Ammo is almost always available for it.
• The Rifle is useful at any range in co-op, but in competative modes, you want to keep a distance and use your advantages.
• Rocketlauncher (Special weapon), self explanitory.
All classes are armed with Knives and Grenades.
New Monsters:
Zombiemen are replaced by zombie variations of the classes to drop appropriate ammo.
Nightmare Imps, Nightmare Demons and Nightmare Cacodemons have a 1/100 chance of spawning in place of a normal imp or demon. They are faster, have more health, not harmed by fire or explosions, and a lot more firepower than the normal monsters. They reward you by dropping a Soulsphere on death.
