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.

The Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell expansion adds three more multiplayer game modes to the list. The list includes Duel, Last Man Standing and the highly anticipated Capture the Flag mode. With 8 total games modes Painkiller has something for everyone. Unless you happen to be an MMORPG enthusiast. In which case you should immediately proceed to the nearest spellbook and begin casting magic missile.

Duel

This game mode is a two player Deathmatch. The winner is the player who reaches the frag limit first, or has the most frags when time expires. The other players connected to the server can spectate the match while they wait in line. The winner stays on to play the next game against the first person in line. The loser is then sent to the end of the line.

Tips and Notes » It's not always about what you have, but more so about what you can take away from your opponent.
» He who has the gold wins the game. Control the Gold Armor.
» Time the Mega Health. This item can turn the tide in a match.
» Prediction, Prediction, Prediction. Know where your opponent is at all times and anticipate his next move.

Capture The Flag

Capture the Flag in Painkiller: Battle out of Hell is a team-based game that works similarly to the traditional capture the flag games. The first team to reach the preset capture limit, or the team with the most captures when time expires, wins.

Tips and Notes

» Why does everyone always want to be the hero? Defense wins CTF games so take one for the team once in a while.
» Don’t steal armor from your flag carrier. Self explanatory.
» If the coast is clear, wait a short time after your flag is returned before capping. This will give the return team an opportunity to steal another quick cap.
» Attacking in waves will increase your chances for a successful capture.

Last Man Standing

Last Man Standing is, as the title implies, an individual game. Prior to the start of the game, the game’s host sets a life limit ( 3 is the default). When all players appear on the map the battle begins. Every time you are killed, you lose one life. When your number of lives reaches zero, you become a spectator and watch as the battle continues. The last player with at least one life remaining wins the match.

Tips and Notes

» Sometimes the best offense is good defense. Let the other players beat each other up and then start mop up duty.
» As in the other game modes, controlling the Gold Armor and power-ups can greatly increase your chances for survival.
» Don’t fall in the slime on DM_Factory. Sizzle.
» Spawn kills are an easy way to magically turn the other players into spectators. Know the spawns and whore them.

Boltgun / Heater

The Boltgun / Heater is a weapon combo designed to deal out plenty of damage in both medium and long range situations. The combo attack is particularly devastating.

Primary Fire – Boltgun

The Boltgun is the choice weapon of snipers in Painkiller: Battle out of Hell. A click of the primary fire sends 5 stake-like rods screaming on a line toward opponents at mid to long range. While dealing out 20 damage per 1 ammo, the Boltgun has the capability of hitting an opponent with 4 out of 5 Bolts for a total of 80 damage. The Boltgun alone is very effective at medium range, but to hit long range targets you may want to put the zoom feature to use by clicking mouse3 and using the mousewheel to zoom in or out. The Boltgun can be used in short range situations, but with a slow rate of fire, you may find yourself on the short end of a mismatch.

Alternate Fire – Heater

The Heater is to spammers what the Boltgun is to snipers. Each click of the alternate fire button shoots out 4 unpredictable bounce charges that deal out 20 damage each on a direct hit. These bounce charges can also deal out up to 18 points of splash damage each, with the potential of doing up to 72 points of splash damage if all 4 charges hit. The problem with the Heater, aside from burning through 10 ammo per shot, is the potential for self damage due to the unpredictable bounces of these charges when they hit solid objects. These charges typically take 2 large bounces before detonating. You will probably find that it is easiest to hit an opponent after 1 bounce rather than attempting a direct hit in the air.

Combo Attack

The Boltgun / Heater combo is perhaps the the most devastating combo in the game. Based on the Stakegun / Grenade combo, this attack is performed by bouncing a heater shot toward your opponent using alternate fire, then shooting the charges with the Boltgun. This attack can be a little tricky as you still must hit your opponent directly with the bolt-propelled charges. Although no splash damage is inflicted, a huge amount of direct hit damage is possible. Basically, each bolt that hits a charge, then hits your opponents does 200 damage. Knowing that, it is possible to hit 4 heater charges with 4 bolts in one shot, you do the math.

Tips and Notes

» The Boltgun shoots 5 bolts in 3 quick bursts starting with the Bolt in the center, then the 2 inner Bolts, followed by the 2 outer Bolts.
» The last 2 Bolts fired by the Boltgun are spread out too far to hit an opponent with both, meaning you can hit with a max of 4 Bolts per shot. Take this into consideration when shooting or you could miss with both outer Bolts on each side of your opponent.
» Shooting an opponent with the Heater at point blank range will cause the charges to miss and inflict no damage.

Sub Machine Gun / Flamethrower

The Sub Machine Gun / Flamethrower is the least complete weapon combination in the game, literally.

Primary Fire – Sub Machine Gun

The Sub Machine Gun (SMG) shoots 8 rounds of .45 caliber ETAP (Explosive Tipped Armor Piercing) ammunition per firing cycle. Each round deals out 10 damage and each firing cycle is separated by a 0.5 second delay. This weapon is used similar to the Chaingun although it does 2 more damage per round. This is balanced out by a slightly slower rate of fire and a delay after 8 rounds are fired.

Alternate Fire – Flamethrower

The alternative fire mode, simply put, is non-existent in multiplayer. Thus making the SMG / Flamethrower, really just an SMG. Why the Flamethrower was left out of multiplayer is somewhat puzzling, but I’m sure there is a good reason? Where would you play if all the maps burnt down? Maybe it will be somehow incorporated in the future, but for now you have to deal with 1/2 a weapon.

Tips and Notes

» Use the SMG to finish off weak opponents.
» The SMG is capable of dealing out 80 damage per firing cycle.
» You don’t have to worry about getting torched by the Flamethrower.
