Old School Plasma Rifle
Tweaks the PR’s primary fire to be more like the original from Doom 1/2. Fire rate now matches the original plasma gun, and each shot does MUCH more damage while costing 2 cell ammo. Also rebalances the charge rate for Heat Blast to account for these changes. Overall DPS is significantly increased, but the slower projectile speed and ammo cost mean greater discretion is needed for effective use.
Installation (Microsoft Store version not supported):
Download the latest version of DoomModInjector, and place it in your DOOMEternal install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\).
