Experience the Joy of Loot Crates with this ‘Doom’ Mod
Loot boxes. The topic has reached a fever pitch over the past couple of weeks with news about EA’s shady tactics in Star Wars Battlefront 2, which has understandably angered many fans. Is it gambling? Is it a “pay to play” scheme that punishes players who don’t buy them? Whatever the case, a Doom modder has come up with a little something that brings modern gaming to the 25-year-old classic.
Created by ZDoom user Rip and Tear, Doom Loot Box Mod removes the weapons and powerups from the game, and replaces some of them with UAC crates. As you’d expect, these crates are locked. To open these crates, you need keys. How do you get them? The enemies that you kill have a small chance of dropping a key, which you can collect and use on these crates. And, since there’s no way to know what’s inside these crates, you’ll just have to take a gamble and open them.
Frustrating? You bet. Fun? Well, that’s entirely up to you. Odds are you probably won’t be getting a BFG-9000 right off the bat. Still, this can be one of those mods for late-night streamers who want a little “fun” in their gameplay.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
