Uber Artifacts (Better Powerups)

What is Uber Artifacts?

Uber Artifacts is a Doom 2 mod that significantly enhances the capabilities and duration of special powerups, making them more impactful and worthwhile to find during gameplay. This mod aims to address the disappointment often felt with the regular Doom 2 powerup items by giving them the oomph they deserve.

What is it for?

Uber Artifacts is designed to enhance your Doom 2 experience by providing more powerful and longer-lasting powerups. 

Whether you're playing solo or with other mods, Uber Artifacts adds a layer of excitement and strategy to your gameplay, making each powerup a valuable asset.

How to Use Uber Artifacts Ingame

Uber Artifacts is a universal addon that can be used with almost any other mod or mapset. Simply load it alongside your other mods. There are two versions included, so make sure to load only one to prevent mod conflicts.

UberArtifacts1Lite_NoBerserkMega.pk3

This is the original version, which replaces 5 powerups:

• Soulsphere: Gives 300 health, 2 minutes of enhanced movement speed, and makes monsters scared.
• Blursphere: Gives 99% stealth, boosts jump, movement speed, and double firerate for weapons. 2 minutes of being the Predator!
• Goggles: 2 minutes of night vision, map is revealed, and you will see monsters actively tracked in the automap for the rest of the level.
• Radsuit: 3 minutes of hazard floor protection, 50% reduced damage from all sources, immunity against explosions, and some damage is reflected back at the attacker.
• Invulnerability Sphere: Become the ultimate devastator for 3 minutes. 2x damage, 2x firerate, 2x speed, 2x jump height, 300 health, and Godmode. Rock on!

(Note: This lite version exists because some mods replace the megasphere or berserker with useful important items, such as the Call of Doom v0.85 mod.)

UberArtifacts2Max_AllPowerups.pk3

This is the extended version by dljosef, which replaces 7 powerups, adding the megasphere and berserker to the list:

• Megasphere: Gives 999 health and 999 armor of 100% protection as well as 2 minutes of 75% damage reduction.
• Berserker: Unleash the Ragezerker for 1 minute of total annihilation! 4x damage, 2x firerate, 2x speed, enemy health drain, infinite ammo, and 100 health.

All powerups feature new sound effects, screen color filters, and activation messages to enhance the immersive experience.
