History VideoGame / HideousDestructor

** The Thunder Buster requires the operator to hold steady with its primary firing mode. However, it makes enemies with shields ''explode''.

* CounterAttack: If you've got good aim, or are just lucky, you might be able to shoot the fireball and stop it dead in its tracks - or, if you shoot them close enough to the imp, burn him a little.

* {{Fireballs}}: Balefire! Hellfire magic brought to you by imps, hellknights, cacodemons, and barons of Hell. Normal fireballs can be stopped by an envirosuit. Balefire on the other hand, zooms right through that, and like standard fireballs, ignores bodyarmour. Oh, and it inflicts aggravated damage, so you need blues or other stuff to fix yourself.
* GrenadeLauncher: Comes in the underslung varieties (on the [=ZM66=]] assault rifle and Liberator battle rifle) and standalone varieties (the "Blooper" and the rocquette launcher, the latter of which also doubles as a rocket launcher, naturally). All versions have a programmable airburst function.

* InterfaceScrew: Aside from the various effects on your vision that taking damage and/or being set on fire inflicts upon you, trying to load a [=ZM66=] with any magazine that isn't a fresh, factory-sealed magazine, will first result in it not able to loaded due to DRM. The non-fresh mag will load on the second attempt due it being forced into the weapon to bypass the DRM, but this results in the gun's ammo counter being useless, in addition to the rifle's DRM telling you to go "FUCK YOURSELF". Given that, for weapons that have integrated ammo counters, this is your only way of knowing how much ammo is in the loaded magazine (whereas weapons without integrated ammo counters will simply show a bar on the HUD that depletes as you fire your weapon), this can cause quite a few issues.
* InstantDeathBullet: Played with. Most enemies will go down with enough damage, or eventually bleed out, but shotgunners will occasionally survive long enough to blast you. Some enemies won't bleed to death and only die after being damaged a number of times.

* LandMineGoesClick: The Grenade may be attached to a tripwire, upon tripping, a distinct sound is played, followed by the sounds of the grenade and it's spoon hitting the ground, the offending player has five seconds to hide behind cover or (unlikely) run out of its effective range.

* MobileFactory: You can use a reloading machine to make 7.62 rounds out of four complete 4.26 rounds and one 7.62 casing, this is the only round that may be created in this fashion.

** Firing around half a magazine rapidly with the [=ZM66=] assault rifle will cause it to cook off and make the rest of your shots go wild, and inserting another one without allowing the weapon to cool down results in the same thing. Then, there is the occasional jam, which has you pressing the reload key to unload your weapon in order to fix said malfunction. Often with multiple enemies firing at you.

* UnwinnableByDesign: The author warns that this will turn nearly any map into an unplayable campaign of tears, as most classic Doom maps don't have adequate cover and throw lots and lots of enemies at the player in bum rushes.

** Averted by the HERP. 150 rounds will mince most enemies easily. Its one drawback is being stationary and having a much bigger profile than the DERP.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Certain types of damage will reduce max health until given specialist treatment.

* InterfaceScrew: Aside from the various effects on your vision that taking damage and/or being set on fire inflicts upon you, trying to load a [=ZM66=] with any magazine that isn't a fresh, factory-sealed magazine, will first result in it not able to loaded due to DRM. The non-fresh mag will load on the second attempt due it being forced into the weapon to bypass the DRM, but this results in the gun's ammo counter being uselss, in addition to the rifle's DRM telling you to go "FUCK YOURSELF". Given that, for weapons that have integrated ammo counters, this is your only way of knowing how much ammo is in the loaded magazine (whereas weapons without integrated ammo counters will simply show a bar on the HUD that depletes as you fire your weapon), this can cause quite a few issues.

* InterfaceScrew: Aside from the various effects on your vision that taking damage and/or being set on fire inflicts upon you, trying to force a [=ZM66=]'s magazine, which has previously been loaded into a different [=ZM66=] or contains ammunition taken from a mag that had previously been loaded into a different [=ZM66=] will, after a few tries, succeed, but will result in the weapon's ammo counter being useless, in addition to the rifle's DRM telling you to go "FUCK YOURSELF". Given that, for weapons that have integrated ammo counters, this is your only way of knowing how much ammo is in the loaded magazine (whereas weapons without integrated ammo counters will simply show a bar on the HUD that depletes as you fire your weapon), this can cause quite a few issues.

* InterfaceScrew: Aside from the various effects on your vision that taking damage and/or being set on fire inflicts upon you, trying to force a partially-empty magazine into the [=ZM66=] assault rifle will, after a few tries, succeed, but will result in the weapon's ammo counter being useless, in addition to the rifle's DRM telling you to go "FUCK YOURSELF". Given that, for weapons that have integrated ammo counters, this is your only way of knowing how much ammo is in the loaded magazine (whereas weapons without integrated ammo counters will simply show a bar on the HUD that depletes as you fire your weapon), this can cause quite a few issues.

* AttackDrone: The DERP, a useful little toy (described as a "webcam with wheels and a gun") that uses pistol ammo, and can be commanded to patrol, secure, or rove around and attack.
** And now there is the HERP (Heavy Engagement Rotary Platform), which not only takes three 50-round assault rifle magazines and fires full auto, it's also more resistant.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: While you can walk and fire, doing so is hideously (har har) inaccurate. You can't fire at all while sprinting, as you lower your gun, VideoGame/ArmA style.

** The Thunder Buster requires the operator to hold steady with its primary firing mode. However, it makes enemies with shields *literally explode.*

* LandMineGoesClick: The Grenade may be attached to a tripwire, upon tripping, a distinct sound is played, followed by the sounds of the grenade and it's spoon hitting the ground, the offending player has fives seconds to hide behind cover or (unlikely) run out of its effective range.

* BulletproofVest: There's two tiers of bodyarmour. Green, which can on a good day stop 4,26mm/.355 Masterball bullets out of the box, and reliably stop 9mm/00 buckshot any day of the week, or Blue, which can produce reliable protection from 4,26mm bullets and some resistance to 7,76mm, but degrades much faster. Both are described as full body suits of armour, and act accordingly. In most cases sprinkling someone with 9mm rounds will do literally nothing other than take a few points of their armour off.

* BottomlessMagazines: The BFG is capable of charging batteries from frag, granted either it's internal or removable battery has 35% charge to start the thing.

** Subverted with the DERP, as it packs a decent punch but runs out of ammo very quickly.

** And now there is the HERP (Heavy Engagement Rotary Platform), which not only takes two 50-round assault rifle magazines and fires full auto, it's also more resistant.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The BFG requires a warmup and [[spoiler:can revive non-gibbed enemies after its use.]]
** The Thunder Buster requires the operator to hold steady with its primary firing mode.

** The titular Hideous Destructor, it's an enormous gun that requires charging and launches an ''enormous'' ball of green goo that gibs anything in its path.

* EmbarrassingNickname: The SMG is called the "Sexy Manly Guy", after one of its funders, a politician, was caught with an intern.
* {{Fireballs}}: Balefire! Hellfire magic brought to you by imps, hellknights, cacodemons, and barons of Hell. Balefire from imps contains the chance of setting you on fire, reducing your armor and quickly killing you if you can't put it out in time - ''or'' killing you, anyway, if you're not quick enough to apply medkits.

** Averted by the HERP. 100 rounds will mince most enemies easily. Its one drawback is being stationary and having a much bigger profile than the DERP.

** Firing around half a magazine rapidly with the ZM66 assault rifle will cause it to cook off and make the rest of your shots go wild, and inserting another one without allowing the weapon to cool down results in the same thing. Then, there is the occasional jam, which has you pressing the reload key to unload your weapon in order to fix said malfunction. Often with multiple enemies firing at you.

* OneBulletClips: Averted, the mod takes into account both chambered rounds and the bullets in any given magazine.

* GrenadeLauncher: Comes in the underslung varieties (on the ZM66 assault rifle and Liberator battle rifle) and standalone varieties (the "Blooper" and the rocquette launcher, the latter of which also doubles as a rocket launcher, naturally). All versions have a programmable airburst function.

* InventoryManagementPuzzle: With encumbrance limits enabled, all items and weapons have bulk and weight values, which affect how much you can carry and your movement speed respectively, the latter of which may be completely crippled, striking a balance is absolutely necessary.

* RegeneratingHealth: There, but not up to VideoGame/CallOfDuty levels - it takes quite a while, doesn't work if you're bleeding to death, and you're better off just finding a stimpack (slows bleeding, boosts regeneration)or medkit (Directly stitches wounds up/applies specialist treatment).
* HealThyself: Players are capable of stabilizing and patching themselves up, though having someone else patch you up tends to be more reliable (but you definitely don't want them using the same medikit applicator for everyone).
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Certain types of damage will reduce max health until given specialist treatment.
* WeakTurretGun: While not exactly weak, the DERP runs out of ammo very quickly.
** Averted by the HERP. 100 rounds will mince most enemies easily. Its one drawback is being stationary and having a much bigger profile than the DERP.

* NoScope: Achieved by change the "passive sight view" setting, Alternatively, firing directly after exiting a jog/sprint.

* AbnormalAmmo: The BFG uses Hell's energy itself.

* DemonicSpiders: Barons of Hell: extremely tough to take down with small arms (one rocket works but it needs to fly a certain distance to arm) and when you finally do. [[spoiler:the Hellish energy from within can revive almost any corpse on the map.]]
** Once more, the Archviles, who now can clip through walls. Have fun!

** Where the frag of a grenade hits; If the target is more than 8 metres away, it's entirely down to how unlucky they are if they're hit.

* NoScope: Achieved by change the "passive sight view" setting, Alternatively, firing directly after exiting a jog/sprint, alternatively,

* ArmorIsUseless: Surprisingly for a realism mod, averted. It (usually) helps you stop from getting set on fire by imps, and black armor, especially, stops high-powered shotgun blasts and rifle bursts effectively.

** Dud grenades going off.
** Where the frag of a grenade hits. This goes both ways - enemies can survive a storm of lead, but so can you, if your grenade falls short of your intended target and there is no cover to take.
** The [=ZM66=]'s cookoff - a player can usually avert it by noticing the smoke coming from the gun, but there's sometimes no warning.
** Triggering the Thunder Buster's primary fire.

* NoScope: Possible, but only if you fire soon after exiting a walk/sprint.
* OneHitPolykill: The Thunder Buster can destroy groups of imps or zombiemen, provided that they're clustered together.

** The bolt-action rifle can get its bolt stuck when pulling it back, resolved by holding the altfire key until the bolt is unjammed. This is caused either by short stroking said bolt or just bad luck. Mostly bad luck.

* RegeneratingHealth: There, but not up to VideoGame/CallOfDuty levels - it takes quite a while, doesn't work if you're bleeding to death, and you're better off just finding a medkit.

Hideous Destructor is, of all things, a realism mod for VideoGame/{{Doom}}. You move and aim like an actual human being, and die like one, too - unarmored, you'll die in one or two hits - and if you don't, you're most likely bleeding to death. You're going to use cover, wits, and reflexes to keep the demonic hordes at bay - and the good news is that your enemies usually die just as easily. Usually...

* DemonicSpiders: Barons of Hell: extremely tough to take down - taking lots of rocket fire to kill - and when you finally do. [[spoiler:the Hellish energy from within can revive almost any corpse on the map.]]

** The BFG functions as a mix of VideoGame/Doom3's BFG and the original VideoGame/Doom's BFG, along with bits of VideoGame/{{Quake 4}}.

** The BFG functions as a mix of VideoGame{{DooM 3}}'s BFG and the original VideoGame/DooM's BFG, along with bits of VideoGame/{{Quake 4}}.

* UnfriendlyFire: As with vanilla VideoGame/DooM, you can turn packs of mooks on each other, or at least soften them up, by getting their balefire and bullets to hit the guys in front of them. Risky, though.
