BFG9000

The BFG9000 is a Weapon found in QUAKE Project1. It is inspired by the BFG9000 from Doom. To activate this Weapon, the player must acquire a Grenade Launcher and Thunderbolt; note that using cheats to get each individual Weapon will not activate the BFG9000.

This Weapon looks like a Grenade Launcher.

This Weapon uses 20 Cells per shot. It is called upon by using impulse 2.

This Weapon is highly based off the BFG found in the DeathMatch PLUS PACK!.

The acquisition sound comes from Apocalypse Now.

Strategy
The BFG9000 is a rather powerful weapon, a direct shot can Gib a Shambler. Furthermore, multiple enemies can be taken out in the blast radius. Taking a few seconds to fire, a ball of fire is shot from the BFG9000 towards whatever the player has aimed it at. When fired, the screen will flash yellow, much like when something is picked up. An extremely powerful weapon, the BFG9000 is well-known for being a powerful weapon for beginners, and even more deadly in the hands of experts due to the more unconventional traits of the Weapon.

The BFG9000 has a rather unique ray system; the closer to the opponent, the more powerful the shot. The BFG9000 attempts to emulate this, resulting in shots where the player can shoot at the wall and still hit an opponent far away from them. Due to the lack of blast damage, it is highly recommended for the player to get as close to their opponent as possible before pulling the trigger.

Advantages

 * Extremely powerful, more powerful than anything in the vanilla arsenal, and can kill any opponent in a single shot (including Shub-Niggurath).
 * There is no danger to the player by using this weapon.
 * While powerful from a distance, it excels at close range, where the maximum amount of damage can be applied.
 * Splash damage means the player doesn't need to be the best at aiming.

Disadvantages

 * Requiring 20 Cells per shot, it is very easy to run out of Ammo, especially as Cells are the rarest type.
 * Using this weapon efficiently on walls and floors can require a bit of practice; there is a learning curve.
 * This weapon is a bit slow to fire, taking longer than a Rocket Launcher between shots and having a slow buildup prior to each shot.
