![]() The Quake II version fires a slow plasma glob that fires rays at any enemies in range and line-of-sight. Quake II and Quake III Arena pay homage to the BFG 9000 with a pair of weapons both called the BFG10K. Overcharging the BFG too much will cause it to overheat and explode, killing the player instantly. In Doom 3, the BFG 9000 is a charged weapon: holding down the trigger causes the weapon to accumulate energy before release, resulting in a more powerful shot. One peculiar quirk about the internal workings of the game code is that it remembers the direction in which the player fired the shot, but not the position, meaning that the player is allowed to move far away, even into an entirely different room, and still deal damage to whoever is in that room, depending on the timing of the projectile's impact. This tracer effect is why it is optimal to stand close to the target in order for them to soak up as many tracers as possible. The BFG's internal game mechanics are two-fold: the actual projectile deals a significant amount of damage (100-800), but the majority of the damage is dealt in a 45 degree cone facing away from the player who fired the shot via 40 "tracers", each dealing between 49 and 87 damage. The BFG 9000 also appears virtually unchanged in Doom II: Hell on Earth, Final Doom, Doom 64, and Doom RPG. In the first Doom, the weapon can only be picked up in the third and fourth episodes. The most powerful weapon in the game, it causes major damage to most types of enemies and can clear an entire room of foes in one shot, or deal huge damage to singular enemies. It is a large energy weapon that fires giant balls of green plasma. In that version, the BFG 9000 released a cloud of 80 small plasma balls (randomly green or red) that could bounce off floors and ceilings per shot, however this version of the BFG was scrapped for the below version, as John Romero, a developer for Doom, stated that "It looked like Christmas", and it severely slowed down the game due to the large number of projectiles.Ĭomputer Gaming World described the BFG 9000 in the first commercial Doom game as "the Ultimate Weapon". The first appearance of the weapon is the press beta release of Doom. The versions found in the Doom games are called "BFG 9000" and those in Quake "BFG 10K". Another version of the name used in the Doom motion picture is "Bio Force Gun". This euphemistic label implies the more profane name of the BFG. The Quake II manual says it stands for "Big, Uh, Freakin' Gun". is the truth.The abbreviation BFG stands for " Big Fucking Gun" as described in Tom Hall's original Doom design document and in the user manual of Doom II: Hell on Earth. His delusions even seem to have caused him to believe that the version of events depicted in his movie where he kills B.J. He is shown to have a very slim grasp on reality, mistaking Helene for his mother Klara at one point. He appears to have gotten increasingly more paranoid due to his deteriorated mental state, going on a mad rant about Jewish spies in the middle of the audition and executing one of the auditioning actors out of suspicion he is a Jew. for the role after he becomes impressed at him killing a volunteer soldier, oblivious to his true identity.īy the time of The New Colossus, Hitler has become frail and senile. During the audition, Hitler kills one of the actors out of paranoia he is a Jewish spy and later executes another for delivering an underwhelming performance. in disguise as an actor named "Jules Redfield"). He has Lady Helene bring four actors to audition for the role of B.J. Hitler is revealed to be still alive and at Venus in this game, where he is producing a movie that features him defeating B.J. A gold mask resembling an impression of Hitler's face can be found on the moon base as a collectible however. While a "Fuhrer" is mentioned in several newspaper clippings, Hitler makes no appearances within the game and the main antagonist is instead General Wilhelm Strasse. After his mech suit is destroyed, Hitler will continue fighting the player until he is disintegrated, letting out "Auf Wiederschen" before his demise. He fights the player in a mecha suit equipped with gatling guns on either side. Hitler appears as the final boss of the game, as Mecha-Hitler.
