How To Combo: A Speedy Overview of all of DOOM Eternal Quick Swapping Techniques

Описание: I tried to be as short as possible with this video but the topics are so many that it still ended up being pretty long with a lot of text on top - which may slide too fast for some. It's hard to find a balance

So I recommend to slow, pause or rewind the video whenever you need

Here I'll gather some extra material to complement it. However, keep in mind that most of the references I'll link are inevitably going to be outdated in some capacity - the interpretations (and discoveries) of DE techs have been constantly evolving for a long time

To start off let me share Drake's channel    / @drakephose   who helped a LOT in the making of the video

The tutorial series:    • Tech Tutorials | DOOM Eternal  
and the script: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n... are fundamental references you should always rely on

Extensive Doom Eternal Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B... made by    / @plobbus

0:00 - Introduction

0:30 Fast Swap Effect (FSE)

A basic quickswitching overview by Flux2033 to get you started:    • All Quick Switch Combos and How To Do Them...  
Remote Det:    • The Hidden Potential of Remote Detonation'...  
Sticky Bombs:    • Sticky Combos for every Demon in DOOM Eternal  

Automatic weapons minimum requirements:
Plasma Rifle: 8 shots/ Chaingun & Unmaykr 6 shots/ Microwave Beam: 12 ammo/ Full Auto: 3 shots

In this section I introduce ballista frame swaps, for science more than anything. Unless we find a way, like we did with fast dblade

2:10 Mod Swap Cancelling (MSC)

A guide:    • The Mod Swap Cancel Technique  

To fix primary fire on weapons just don't use it for half a second or so

3:15 Silent Mod Swapping (SMS)

The first method will attempt to swap mods on the weapon you're switching into IF it's equipped with the mod placed on the same row of the mod you're trying to silent swap... in the weapons tab menu. Yes. For example destroyer blade (bottom row) works well with precision bolt (upper row). Silent mod swaps into SSG always work

The second method is not compatible with fast swapping

4:00 SLOB - SSB - SDblade

OG video:    • Lock-on is now officially a quick swap mod  

S stands for Sexy. Or Sylar

9:05 Bring up Animation Transfer Swapping (BATS)

Main Guide:    • New DOOM Eternal tech: BATS  

Notice how the frame ballista punch BATS ultimately proves that it's indeed a fast swap

12:11 Wack Swapping

First time this is actually discussed in a video. I was using the MSC version for quite a while without suspecting there was something else going on. Only recently Drake found out about the larger class of wack animations

14:08 Stuns - Sentinel Hammer

Classic Under The Mayo guides:    • Doom Eternal - Grenades and the Faltering ...   &    • Advanced Guide to Faltering & Remote Deton...  

Remember that damage falters should always be applied first, if possible

Stuns usually override each other, however 3 of them always take priority when applied in this order: Microwave Beam, Sentinel Hammer, BFG Tendrils

14:57 Heat Blast & Yeet Blast

A guide I think:    • Heat Blast close range combos against Supe...  
Yeet Blast:    • The Yeet Blast Tech

About Yeet Blast: in theory you should be able to hear the second heat blast going off

21:17 Closing Remarks & Sticky Bombs Crit States

Menuing tech by BloodShot:    • Pause Boosts - Doom Eternal Speed Tech  
Sticky crit implementation by bowsr:    • Sticky Bomb headshots have a weird quirk  

One thing I ended up not mentioning: if you give an enjoyer fast bring up and use the hammer, you can't fast swap it. On the other hand both SSG and BFG when given slow bring up briefly acquire some quasi-FSE

For a moment I feared that FSE was actually a bring up property - luckily the SSB tech is a counterexample: it can grant FSE to the combat shotgun even with fast bring up
