Can you kill Cyberdemons with 2 shots of BFG without getting any damage??

It's very easy once you understand how the BFG works: as soon as you fire, thousands of tracers are emitted from your body.

Lmao Thousands XD it's 40 tracers to be exact.

Elaborating on what MagicMushroom was saying.

Two-shotting a Cyber, like anything, just takes practice once you get the hang of how the BFG's tracers work and the Cyber's attack patterns. I recommend watching how @Pseudonaut does it in this video right here as it'll help you understand the basic "dance" you need to perform with the Cyber. Took me quite a while before I got the hang of it and really get a better understand of BFG tracers. But if you stick to it, you'll find yourself pulling tricks like this:

This is something I really need to work on, I seem to average around 4 shots to take one down. Thing is I usually pistol start and I suck at finding secrets so I don't even have a BFG on a lot of maps. Got used to drawing herds of enemies to them, let them fight and then finish with rockets or plasma. Sounds like a useful skill though, I'll have to find a good map to practise. If I remember map 6 or 7 on Doom ep4, the one with the pillar with 4 lifts in the center of an acid pit has a lone Cyber and a BFG (killed me 5 or 6 times!).

In addition to that thread GarrettChan linked earlier, I'd suggest just opening E1M8 and typing IDKFA for the most basic practice. Or throwing together a 30 second map with a cyber, BFG, and 40 cells.

There's also this practice map made by Nine Inch Heels.... I think someone sent this to me or I dug it up out of the speedrunning discord forever ago, when I was looking for more than just that 15-in-2 map. It's Boom, so -complevel 9.

Of course, I forgot about IDKFA, don't use cheats so it slipped by mind, perfectly acceptable for practicing though. That practice map sounds handy too though, thank you.

[Pistoolkip]

I practiced this.

 

So yes, I can do it. It's something you need to practice to get good at, because you need to learn the rhythm

powerful move - so potent I think you hurt yourself IRL too

[Austinado]

Yes.

[dybbuk81]

It usually takes me 4 hits (160 cells) for some reason.

use this to understand how the bfg works, very handy
