DOOM 2016 hidden rocket launcher reload animation - very secret

If you holo swap from fully mastered ssg to another weapon while not at full ammo and you don't shoot or swap it fast enough, the slayer starts reloading shells but on the wrong weapon (works even with the BFG...). With most of them it ends after a second or so, but with the combat shotgun and rocket launcher you get stuck in an endless animation. You can come out of it by using alternate fire or simply by switching weapon again, and you probably could just hold primary fire while holo swapping to avoid the bug entirely.

Legend says, whenever humanity needs the Doomslayer, he will reload until the demons die of old age...

that next lock on burst is going to put knee shaking fear into all marauders

[Diesel_Budgie]

I won't lie, this is totally me when I load shotgun shells into my rocket launcher

Finally, a first Sylar's doom 3 video.

Doom guy stuffs as many shotgun shells into the rocket launcher chamber as possible to turn it into a punt gun/makeshift blunderbuss.

He's just petting if for doing a good job

* intense fight going on*
Sylar: “ay check out this fuckin reload though haha”

[sirweenielick]

Kinda cool how you can dig up unused stuff by messing around in the game.

[eyronfeliciano]

Gotta be a real man to reload your rocket launcher with your fingers

[paulrazvan]

Cyberdemon slapped him so hard he loaded shells into a Rocket Launcher

[Dondlo]

Same animation happens with almost every gun, I think they had reloading before but the idea got scrapped, somehow that weird animation got left

[fruitylerlups]

Its funny that almost all the guns had reloads at some point in development. I wonder when that ended

[Daburubareru]

Damn the Cyberdemon REALLY went that hard

[oxyaego]

The thing is almost all weapons in 2016 have an unused reload animation. Someone made a video on youtube about it
Edit: Miss Hearthbeat

[Burnacy]

That's was suspiciously similar to halos shotgun reload

[fadedgames]

Seems like they tried derailing from the classic "doom weapons don't reload" rule at some point of Doom 2016's development. (And yes even the classic super shotgun "reload" isn't technically a reload but more of a cooldown)

[garrettk]

The "Least Fucks Given" reload

[arcticjames]

This reminds me of randomizer in Team Fortress 2 where all of the reload animations are wack af

[avalqnche]

Yoooo super rocket That would be poggers

[partylrd]

Don't read further









That's just the halo shotgun reload animation
