Deamon Head Ammo

Primary (100 ammo):

This seems to be like the razorcube’s secondary fire, except you hold it down and keep it pointed at enemies. Excellent at accurately and immediately picking off enemies at a great distance, but it’s also a real ammo-eater.

Secondary (300 ammo):

If you think this is new to PK you’re wrong – it behaves exactly like Demon Morph shots. It can bring down weak and tough alike, and it’s definitely worth conserving the ammo for when you’re in big trouble.

What makes this thing even more worthwhile is that it’s like a railgun – it fires through enemies and hits the ones behind them too. There’s no better weapon for dropping a long line of goons at once.

Bone Gun Ammo

Primary (100 ammo):

Not a great range but there’s no better weapon for getting an enemy out of your face. Those bone needles really look like they hurt. Very nice damage to ammo ratio.

Secondary (100 ammo):

Try not to miss, and if you don’t miss try to make sure you shatter those minions with some bone needles quick. Works on most enemies but ammo is scarce, so this weapon is extremely useful, but not one to abuse. Wonderful against certain strong monsters, while totally useless against others.

Eggs Ammo

Primary (200 ammo):

You can both toss a single egg and detonate it with the primary fire.

Secondary fire lets you throw multiple eggs without detonating them. Cover a big enemy with eggs and then hit primary to blow them all up at once in a cloud of green. Brilliant.

Nuclear Gun Ammo

Primary (300 ammo):

Remember the good old stakegun? Well, this is the closest you’re going to get in Overdose. It’s not as fun, but it still behaves pretty much the same way. Less useful than the crossbow or the skulls for sniping, but the ammo count is decent enough.

Secondary (300 ammo):

This will spray the titular green goo all over nearby enemies, slowing them down and incidentally turning them green. Get rid of them while they’re disabled, but make sure you don’t waste it on enemies who are immune to it. I doubt you’ll be using this much, though enough ectoplasm can eventually fell most enemies.

Crossbow Ammo

Primary (300 ammo):

This is the crossbow, very accurate at any distance but so accurate that it’s easy to miss with it (if that makes sense). Use it at medium or long range and don’t forget it comes with a zoom feature. Fun to use on executioners if you’re a good shot.

Secondary (200 ammo):

Chuck some explosive, bouncing heads into close bunches of enemies, but don’t be too close yourself when they go off on impact. As tremendous for taking out enemies from around corners as BOOH’s heater ever was; just get your angles right.

Sword Ammo

Primary (300 ammo):

The skulls fire in bursts of three and home in on enemies with a generous margin for error. It’s great for taking out those monsters who are proving difficult to reach with other weapons, and it’s definitely the weapon to which the less accurate of Overdose’s players should turn first.

Secondary (200 ammo):

This is a very weird one, and a genuinely new idea for any PK game. The plan is to launch a whirring blade and steer it around by targeting one enemy after the other. The blade scythes around and homes in on whichever monster you are currently targeting, almost instantly reducing the poor sod to mush. You do need to be careful not to steer it into the ground or anything else that can stop it; and it helps to realise that it moves pretty slowly. Practice with it and you can get great results, though only against the weaker monsters.

You can right-click again to recall the blade and stop it eating the ammo – it uses it very fast, all the time the blade is spinning.

Rocket Launcher Ammo

Primary (100 ammo):

This defaults to the cannon and it should be used with care, as its explosive flechette rounds tend to rebound off enemies and twat you in the face. Use against groups of enemies or big single ones, but only at mid range. This is a weapon to use only when you run out of ammo for the better ones. Aim at the ground around their feet so you do damage without fear of missing altogether.

Secondary (500 ammo):

A chaingun, as useful as it always was. Great in almost every situation and against every enemy, though it does require accuracy on the user’s part.

Introduction

When Painkiller was announced as the CPL World Tour game, waves of anger and disapproval arose from the community. Most of the gamers criticized the CPL relentlessly for choosing Painkiller instead of their preferred game, and started to make hundreds of forum threads to prove their game’s superiority. After all there will be 10 CPL events held in 2005, with all of them featuring Painkiller as the main tournament game. This article is dedicated to the new players and spectators of Painkiller, and to hopefully make their understanding of the game a little better. M o v e m e n t Yes, we all have heard it before. Movement is an important aspect to all of the dueling games. That’s also correct in Painkiller’s case, but insufficient. Bunnyhopping is the most important aspect to Painkiller. At the Summer CPL finals, Vo0 literally ran circles around Fatal1ty, which greatly helped him come back and win the tournament. Although it has such huge importance, fluent and swift movement can be accomplished in a small amount of time. Basic Movement Painkiller’s movement involves none of the midair strafing or bunny hopping techniques that other fast paced FPS games involved. All you need to do to build your speed is to press your forward key, continue tapping your jump key, and move your mouse to wherever you want to go – it’s as simple as that! Maybe it’s not THAT simple, but once you get your basics down, you can zoom through the maps with unbelievable speeds. Rocket Jumping Rocket jumping is also a key factor in movement and map control. This is done by firing the rocket at a solid surface and then jumping immediately afterward. Rocket Jumping allows you to gain huge amounts of speed by propelling yourself forward or vertically to reach places faster. Combine this with a solid movement pattern and you’re suddenly jumping around at an incredibly fast pace. Teleporters 2 of the 3 maps competitively played in Painkiller have teleporters, and using them efficiently is very important. You can rocket jump just before going through portals and your rocket jump follows through once you emerge. If you drop to a portal from a higher place, you gain speed once you exit. However, maintaining speed when going through portals can be tricky sometimes. To maintain your speed, try going into teleporters slightly angled, instead of head on. Teleporters also allow the opportunity to “telefrag” another person, by coming through the teleporter on top of your opponent.

Weapons
	PainKiller (Melee Weapon) This weapon is rarely used in Multiplayer, except to embarrass the opponent. “Pain” which is multiple spinning blades and “Killer” which is blades tucked in together that you can launch directly at the enemy, or stick in a wall and create a burning beam between you and the wall.
	Stakegun / Grenade Launcher The stakegun is the basic spawn weapon and does 200 damage per hit, an insane amount of damage for a spawn weapon. This weapon shoots similar to the Railgun in Q3 or the Crossbow in HLDM. With its high damage and fast traveling speed, this is the weapon of choice to start a comeback. This weapon also seems to be the fan favorite, as the Summer CPL finals showed great excitement from the fans every time a stake hit.
	Shotgun / Freezer The shotgun is rapid firing and often used to chase and hunt down enemies with low health. Since as the range increases, the trajectory of the shell also increases, ideally it’s easier to score kills in mid/close ranges. Shotgun also has a huge knockback from closer ranges and will render your opponent out of his usual movement. Secondary Fire shots nitrogen capsules which takes your opponents armor to 0 for a short while, which is a huge advantage too.
	Rocket Launcher / Chaingun The most used and most dominant weapon in the game. This is probably the deadliest weapon in any FPS game. Fight up close with rockets, and finish him off with the secondary attack when he tries to run away. Respawning players are easily killed, as the rockets do 100 damage on a direct hit. The Chaingun is also a great finishing weapon, dealing 24 damage per 3 rounds to an unarmored opponent.
	Electro Driver (Lightning Gun) / Shuriken Launcher This weapon is only available on 1 of the competitive maps played, but is a highly effective weapon. Unlike the other weapons, the secondary attack is mainly used. It emits a lightning beam very similar to the Quake series Lightning Gun, dealing 30 damage per hit and also transfers 7 health for every successful hit. Launching shurikens is also a great idea to do at an opponent running away, as it does the same amount of damage but has unlimited range.
Pro Tip A cool trick in the game is that you can launch an arcing grenade and hit it midair with a stake, forming a stake-rocket which deals more damage than a regular rocket. This move is very tricky, but once mastered can be quite effective when a Rocket Launcher is unattainable.
Armor
	Bronze Armor Worth 100 armor, and absorbs 33% of the damage inflicted.
	Silver Armor Worth 150 armor, and absorbs 60% of the damage inflicted.
	Gold Armor Worth 200 armor, and absorbs 80% of the damage inflicted.
Pro Tip Unlike other Deathmatch games, there are no armor shards or other ways of increasing your armor. The maximum amount of armor is capped at 200, and doesn’t diminish over time. All armor respawns after 20 seconds.
Health
	There are only 2 health items in the game, regular yellow health and the heart shaped mega health. The yellow health items reward you with an increase of 25 health, and the mega health increases your health by 100. The limit for possible health is 250, and whenever the current health exceeds 100 it slowly decreases back to 100. Regular health respawns after 20 seconds, and the mega health respawns after 60 seconds.

The original Painkiller offers a total of five multiplayer game modes. In the style of Quake, Painkiller delivers some of the most intense multiplayer action ever seen. Insane speeds, powerful weaponry and top-notch physics make for an experience like no other. Standard modes like Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch will keep just about any old school gamer happy. For those who like your gibs severed with some spice, check out the Voosh, The Light Bearer and People Can Fly game modes.

Free For All

This is classic “Every player for himself” Deathmatch. The object of the game is to kill as many opponents as possible within the time limit set by the game’s host, or to achieve the frag (kill) limit. It’s kill or be killed and you’re on your own. The player with the most kills or the player who reaches the preset frag limit first is the winner.

Tips and Notes

» As is the case with most games mode, controlling the armor and power-ups is vital to your success.
» When you grab a soul and happen to get 100 rockets with it, consider it a gift. Use the extra ammo to your advantage.
» Know the high traffic areas of each map. Avoid those areas when you are weak and exploit them when you are strong.

Team Deathmatch

This is Deathmatch with a cooperative twist. You and your teamates set out to slaughter as many members of the opposing team as possible within the set time limit. The team that achieves the frag limit first, or has the most kills when time runs out, wns.

Tips and Notes

» When power-ups are enabled, the team the controls the power-ups usually wins the game. Unless them other team is attempting quad rocket jumps, of course.
» They call it “Team” Deathmatch for a reason. Don’t be a weapon and armor whore. Sharing is a good policy to have in this game mode.
» Set up some team related binds to share important info with your team.
» Utilize strength in numbers. If you see 4 enemies and no teammate in a room, you are going the wrong way!
» If you are planning a spur of the moment trip to Mexico, please be considerate and disconnect from the server. Otherwise you will find yourself getting the boot.

People Can Fly

This is a Deathmatch variation that pushes your skills to the limit. Using only the Rocket Launcher / Chaingun, you must achieve the frag limit or score the most frags before time runs out. The catch is that you can only damage your opponent while he’s airborne. People Can Fly is played on two speciffically-designed multiplayer maps that aren’t available in other multiplayer game modes.

Tips and Notes

» Although some people consider it cheap, using splash damage on walls to your advantage is rather effective.
» If you find yourself stuck on a wall, rocket jump off it to avoid wall splash damage kills.
» Jumping makes it much easier for opponents to bounce your ass into hyperspace. Stay flat footed as much as possible.
» Use air control to your advantage. When you do get bounced, maneuver in difficult to predict patterns.

Voosh

In this multiplayer mode, everyone starts out with the same weapon with infinite ammunition. There are no other weapons on the map, at preset intervals, everyone’s weapon is switched to a different weapon. The order of weapon switches can be set to random, or can be specified by the game host.

Tips and Notes

» An advantage in melee battle can quickly become a disadvantage on a weapon switch. Be prepared.
» Know the strengths of each weapon and play to them.
» Know the respawn points. The enemy you just killed could respawn with fully loaded Electrodriver and zap your ass if you’re not ready for it.
» You have unlimited ammo you know. Don’t be afraid to use it.

The Light Bearer

In this variation, there is one Rage (Quad) power-up available and it never expires! The first player who grabs it continues to use it until he is killed, at which point it is once again up for grabs. The winner is the player who reaches the frag limit first, or has the most frags when time expires.

Tips and Notes

» People don’t seem to understand that if you don’t kill TLB you usually don’t win the game. So stop shooting each other and kill the TLB.
» The quad is often placed in difficult to reach locations. A rocket jump will usually do the trick.
» Frags double on kills while you have the quad. (For example: 1,2,4,8,16 etc.) So 5 consecutive kills = 16 frags.
» Exploit the high traffic areas, while you have the quad, to maximize your score.

Boltgun Ammo

The Boltgun uses 5 ammo per shot, which means you can take 9 shots for each Boltgun ammo you pick up. With a max ammo limit of 500 you can hold up to 100 shots worth of ammo. Stock up on Bolts and go to your favorite camping spot for the weekend.

Tips and Notes

» 1 Boltgun Ammo allows for 9 shots.
» Boltgun ammo can also be used in combination with Heater ammo – See weapon guide for more info.
» 20 Damage is inflicted for every 1 ammo that hits an opponent.

Heater Ammo

At 10 ammo per shot, the Heater has the highest ammo usage of all weapons in Painkiller. Each Heater ammo bin that you pick up will allow for 7 shots of 4 bounce charges. These charges deal out 20 damage each for direct hits, just make sure you hit your oppenent and not yourself.

Tips and Notes

» Use the Heater at short to medium range and attempt to hit opponents after a bounce for best ammo efficiency.
» Be careful shooting this weapon close to other solid object or the charges may bounce right back at you.

SMG Ammo

The Sub Machine Gun shoots these rounds in bursts of 8 seperated by a slight delay. You can shoot 9 of these firing cycles for every box of SMG bullets you pick up. Each shot deals out 10 damage to your opponent.

Tips and Notes

» Learn the timing of each firing cycle for best ammo efficiency.
» Aim the SMG as you would the Chaingun.

Flamethrower Ammo

Well considering that the Flamethrower is disabled in multiplayer, this ammo is included in some levels for the sole purpose of busting your balls. If it makes you feel good, stock up on this ammo – you can hold 500.

Tips and Notes

» Controlling the Flamethrower ammo will not guarantee you victory.
» Play with fire and you get burnt – Except in multiplayer.

Mega-pack (BOOH)

The BOOH Mega-pack, like the standard one is a collection consisting of ammo for every weapon. The difference being that this one also contains ammo for the Battle Out of Hell weapons. It contains 22 Bolts, 45 Heater bombs, 45 SMG bullets, and last but certainly not least, 12 pints of highly flammable, highly explosive Flamethrower ammo.

Tips and Notes

» If you are without a weapon, the Mega-pack will give you 6 grenades.
» Regardless of which weapon you are using, the Mega-pack can bail you out if you are running low on ammo.
» The BOOH Mega-pack can be very useful with 3 and 1/2 new weapons and short supply of ammo in most Battle Out of Hell levels.
