📋 About This Mod

Description:

Reworks the primary fire of the Heavy Cannon to feel more like a cannon that is heavy.  Designed to feel more impactful and distinct while retaining utility for longer than like 2 minutes on HoE, without being too much stronger or surpassing the Chaingun or quickswapping

Installation (Microsoft Store version not supported):

    Updating with mods:

    • []Anytime that Doom Eternal updates, you will need a new version of DoomModInjector, and potentially new versions of any mods that you use.  Make sure that you have the latest versions of everything, or you will encounter problems!-

          • []Shots cost 2 bullets each
            • []Recoil is largely increased but spread remains negligible
              • []Damage increase for direct hits (35 > 200)
