The 'Rich Get Richer' rune is OP

[Bullett00th]

That's the one that gives you infinite ammo when you have 100+ armor (75+ when upgraded).
I understand that it comes in late game, but I put it on for the first time before the cyberdemon fight and beat him without a scratch, just showered him with minigun fire non-stop.

I love it but then again it made the boss battle kinda trivial

[Kleerex]

Since this is obviously Dark Souls of first person shooters, it should be treated like one, right? NEEEEEEEEEEERF!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bullett00th]

I don't even know if you're sarcastic or not.
I never said it should be made too difficult, but really the whole fight amounted to me never letting go of the mouse button and occasionally avoiding a few rockets.

Well, some people love a challenge, some people just love to be a badass doomslayer blasting demons. ;)
You can always make your own challenge, just don't use that rune.

I'm sorry but this is a poor argument.

Whenever an element of the game becomes exploitable, people say 'oh just don't use it', but it's a design flaw. I like the idea of having infinite ammo as long as I stay untouched, but that particular battle was made too easy by it.

Maybe it's not so much a problem with the rune as it is with the cyberdemon who is very spammable

Wait, there are runes you can use in the game? xD

you're missing out if you're ignoring them

[budozero]

I did not deliberately ignore them, I did all the rune challanges I came across, I think I equiped some, but never thought to look into it deeper. Got another playthrough started, so will do so this time.

thing is, once you equip a rune, you can do a challenge specific to it and upgrade it for bonus effects, which is handy.

Works pretty much like the last upgrade for weapons that you only get by meeting certain criteria with it

so the chainsaw is also op because it gives u all the ammo u need when u need?!

the runes are not there because of using for exploits they are there for setup ur own playstyle so use it if u like it or dont use it if u dont like it. so it isnt a poor argument its the meaning of runes not at least u only can use three of them...

i like to play with the airmovement rune, the speed up for glory kill and gimme some armor for glory kills :)

now u can say this combo is also overpowered because u can move through the hordes of demons like a chainsaw through paper

[...and a voice was screaming...]

What difficulty are you playing on?

ok you're right, the rune itself isn't OP as it's quite difficult to avoid getting hit 100% of the time. the fairer complaint would be towards the cyberdemon fight

ultra violins

Is that the difficulty that replaces all of your weapons with expensive violins that you have to smack enemies with? :P

Okay, sarcastic joking aside, Rich Get Richer can be very OP, but only if you're good enough to avoid damage all the time. Since I usually play on nightmare, I can rarely keep my armor level high enough to take advantage of it. I prefer In-flight Mobility and Blood Fueled most of the time.

[...and a voice was screaming...]

Listen, uh, I hate to point out what should be fairly obvious, but perhaps you should attempt to bump up that diffiiculty to nightmare and then try out that rune.

wouldn't mind that as a mod)
I like to imagine it's the same Doom but with violins playing the Mick Gordon OST in the background all the time.

When battling normal demons - yes. When fighting one big guy - yeah avoiding Cyberdemon attacks wasn't a problem.

I just started ultra violins and it feels just right. I'll try Nightmare the next time I decide to replay Doom

I've missed that one. Which level's it on?
