The plasma gun dispatches Nazis fairly rapidly, while a single shotgun blast is often fatal.
If the chaingun is used against a group of SS Nazis on the "Hey, not too rough", "Hurt me plenty", or "Ultra-Violence" skill levels, the player should watch their character's bullet stock carefully, since one is usually expending at least five bullets for every five-bullet clip recovered. However, he's still harmful when attacking at close range (reflecting how standing closer to your bullet-shooting attacker hurts you more in Wolfenstein 3D).Īlthough a single SS Nazi at close range can inflict significant damage (his rate of fire is about a third of that of a Heavy Weapon Dude), his main distinguishing feature is now his inaccurate aim, which sometimes allows a skilled player to clear a good part of a large room without even pulling the trigger, due to infighting, especially considering the way the enemy is grouped in the secret levels of Doom II.
In Doom II, the SS Nazi is not as dangerous, becoming a somewhat weaker counterpart of the Heavy Weapon Dude, with less hit points and a slower rate of fire. In Wolfenstein 3D, the SS Nazi was a feared marksman whose high rate of fire, accuracy, and large hit point total forced the player to take care when fighting them especially at close range. The SS Nazi has about a third of the firing rate of the Chaingunner, but does so in two-round bursts, since unlike Doom's former humans, it has two aiming sprites (depicting the Nazi stopping and leveling his gun, instead of directly snapping to aiming). This can only be seen in custom maps, as they don't appear together in any official levels. Therefore, the SS Nazis always appear to be facing and pointing their guns at the player when firing, no matter where their actual targets are, which can be confusing because the Nazis are just as likely to engage in infighting and killing each other as the former humans are.Īn Arch-vile can resurrect SS Nazis. (Bosses were even more extreme they always faced the player period, and so could not, for example, be attacked from behind.) Id Software's artists did not bother to make new attacking graphics for the other angles when they converted the SS Nazi's graphics to that of Doom. Wolfenstein 3D did not feature multiplayer or monster infighting, hence, all their bad guys always faced the player when attacking. On death, the Nazi drops a clip containing five bullets (or ten on the "I'm too young to die" and "Nightmare!" skill settings). The SS Nazi attacks by firing two bullets at a time in rapid succession, which are slightly less powerful than the player's bullet like the Heavy Weapon Dude, he fires repeatedly as long as his target is in sight.
