Acerola Doom - A DeHackEd Rebalance Mod

[[Vitz!]]

This is just another flavor of your good old Doom. It's Acerola Doom. It's not a sourceport though.

Download (Boom compatible, I haven't tested this in vanilla)

When I was first making this I just wanted to do some buffs to some enemies and weapons, but the more I worked on the thing, the more I realized I needed to rebalance stuff for it to work nicely. After working a good few days on it I think I finally reached something interesting that I'm satisfied with. The results will feel kinda weird at first, but I believe some people will like the stuff I changed.

Here is a list of changes:

If you want more information just open that dehacked file and inspect it yourself! You might discover something cool.

^{I hope I didn't forget any important info here!}

To summarize, both weapons and monsters got stronger and faster in some way shape or form (with some debuffs here and there), but in varying degrees of change. Some were drastically changed, others not that much at all. 
^{I'll probably use this in some future maps of mine to show off better the potential of these changes...}

I hope you have fun!

Have sometimes to kill and decided to try your mod.

A pretty questionable one overall - basically makes enemies take much more time to kill. Perhaps you should really do something with the shotguns and shell pickups.
