In this “defenseless” mod for Doom 2, punching is the most significant thing

Published:

Let’s face it, during the game Moose Or Doom 2the only reason to start punching enemies is if you just got the Rage buff. Either that, or you have a sadistic, unquenchable desire to see how long it takes to defeat a Cyberdemon with your fists. Hint: that’s probably a long time.

Anyway, if you’re tired of the straightforward way with guns, ModDB user Tortilla has a solution. After installing “Gunless”, you can get rid of the need to employ pistols, shotguns and rocket launchers, as this mod only allows you to employ punches to suppress hellish demons.

Creating a case that catches the eye Doom 2 they are (and I quote) “for wimps after all.” In this download, all weapon icons are replaced only with Doom Guy’s fists, which includes numerous variations of the punching animation.

Mano and Imp-o

I haven’t had a chance to check out this mod in person, but from the images on the download page it looks like you still get the bullets. Only now they’re coming from your fingers and not the business side of a plasma rifle or something.

In any case, Doomguy will no longer have to worry about carrying around any kind of arsenal. Not when he can mow down the underworld dwellers with just his gloves and a “win” mentality.

Once again we return to the charm of the classics Moose. The modding community keeps us coming back for more, offering some pretty captivating ways to play id Software’s iconic first-person shooter. Perhaps we will move forward with what Doom: The Dark Ages is coming in 2025, but it’s going to be a real cool day in hell before people stop playing and tinkering with the OG entries in the series.
