POWERUPS, ITEMS AND KEYS
The world of Duke Nukem 3D is littered with an array of items that help Duke
accomplish his mission.Some items are utilized the instant they are touched,other items
are put in Duke’s inventory for later use. Inventory items may be used by either pressing
their hotkey or by using the inventor y selection interface which involves using the bracket
keys ( [ ] ) and status panel to scroll through the available list.
HEALTH ITEMS
SMALL MEDKIT - This item gives Duke an instant boost of 10 health
points.It will not take Duke’s health over 100 points.
LARGE MEDKIT - This item gives Duke an instant boost of 30 health
points.It will not take Duke’s health over 100 points.
ATOMIC HEALTH - This prized health item will instantly boost Duke’s
health by 50 health points,and may take Duke’s health as high as 200 points.
ARMOR - When this item is worn,Duke will suffer less damage from
attacks. Armor eventually wears out and needs replacing.
INVENTORY ITEMS
PORTABLE MEDKIT - (Press “M” to activate.) Take health with you and
use it as needed.The medkit holds 100 health points which can be applied to
Duke’s health at anytime. It will not take Duke’s health over 100 points.
JETPACK - (Press “J” to turn on\off.) Duke’s government-issue jetpack is
one of his greatest tools,whether in mortal conflict against raging aliens or
in personal grudge matches in DukeMatch.Turn it on, then use the jump and
crouch keys to raise and lower yourself.
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES - (Press “N” to turn on\off.) Flip `em on and
your view takes on a bright greenish hue — and your opponents will glow
like neon bull’s-eyes.Battery life is limited on this item, so use only when
10
needed.
ITEMS & KEYS
STEROIDS - (Press “R” to activate.) This performance booster pumps up
Duke’s adrenaline glands, making him move with blinding speed and enables
him to deliver strong kicks. Like most medications, once ingested `roids
must play-out until finished — you cannot turn them off.So use them only
when you’re ready,and hang on tight.
PROTECTIVE BOOTS - Once worn, this high tech footwear will
automatically protect Duke when he’s standing on toxic, hot, or otherwise
harmful surfaces.They have only a limited wear cycle before they burn up,
ITEMS & KEYS
so always keep your eyes open for replacements.
SCUBA GEAR - Duke can hold his breath a long time, but not long
enough to fully explore some underwater areas he will encounter.
Scuba gear will automatically feed Duke with life-sustaining air while he is
swimming in the murky depths.Especially useful in prolonged multiplay
DukeMatches,scuba gear should be grabbed whenever possible.
HOLODUKE - (Press “H” to turn on\off.) It took the tech labs 8 years to
perfect this clever device,but now Duke can fool his enemies by projecting
a holographic duplicate of himself which they’ll fall for over and over again.
In DukeMatch,the HoloDuke is the source of great deception and trap
setting.The HoloDuke can be turned off and placed elsewhere as long
as its battery life holds out.
KEYCARDS - Doors into certain areas of the world will be
protected by color-coded Keycard Security Locks,requiring
Duke to present the appropriately colored matching key card
at time of entry.Press the SPACEBAR when standing in front
of the lock,and the appropriate keycard will be utilized.

ENEMIES AND CHARACTERS
Here are some of the enemies that Duke Nukem will encounter during the game:
ASSAUL T TROOPER - The green suited Assault Trooper is the basic alien
ground assault trooper sent by the ruthless alien leaders to serve as the first
offensive wave against Ear th’s defenses.They attack using a laser pistol, and can
attack from the air by using jetpacks.When these characters are killed,they will
sometimes drop pistol ammunition that you can take and use .
ASSAULT CAPTAIN - The red suited Assault Captains have a wrist-mounted
Phase Induced Teleporter Device (PITD) capable of physically translocating its
user to any destination within the device’s range. Used as a tactical assault
instrument,the PITD enables the Assault Captain to launch surprise attacks
against his intended human targets at will.They will also sometimes drop pistol
ammunition that you can take and use.
PIG COP - The Pig Cops come from mutated Earth police forces and are
positioned to suppress residual human opposition and to police the new alien
power on Earth.These characters exhibit an extremely high intolerance to the
presence of humans,and are filled with rage when they detect human scent.When
killed,this character may drop either their shotgun or body armor.
PIG COP TANK - These heavily armored riot tanks can take a lot of damage
before they finally explode. And when they do,expect to find an angered Pig Cop
behind a shotgun,aiming right at your face.
PROTECTOR DRONE - These new aliens are evil in every sense of the word,
taking nearly twice the damage of a Pig Cop. So don’t expect a single rocket to do
the trick. On top of that, they move very fast,jump high,can claw you at close range,
and have the nasty ability to emit shrink rays. Their main purpose is to protect their
newborn alien Queen,so be very afraid when you meet one.
RECON PATROL VEHICLE - This sleek and deadly anti-gravity powered
reconnaissance vehicle is operated by specially trained Pig Cops for the
purpose of maintaining alien control in areas of human resistance.The
attack mode of this craft is aerial strafing by side mounted laser cannons.
The pilots of these craft are protected by an automatic pilot ejection
mechanism that activates milliseconds before impact during a crash.
ENEMIES & CHARACTERS
12
OCTABRAIN - This character’s abundant brain mass and specialized
trifocal vision combine to make the Octabrain a formidable alien weapon
against all sentient life on Earth. Their method of attack is a powerful blast
of mental energy released against its prey, thus weakening and confusing its
intended victim.If the victim doesn’t die from the mind blast,the Octabrain’s
powerful razor sharp teeth are ready to finish the job.
PROTOZOID SLIMER - It emerges from its egg pod with a simple
nervous system and only one mission in life — to suck your brains out
through your nose and leave you a lifeless heap on the floor.The Protozoid
Slimeris evasive as it stretches its elastic body from ceiling to floor,and then
creeps up your pant leg for the coup de gras.Get them before they get you.
SENTRY DRONE - Mechanized death — there’s no better way to describe these airborne alien watchdogs.By the time you hear their high pitched
whine as they engage their anti-grav propulsion units,it’s probably too late.
The Drone will swiftly collide with its target and explode with great force.
ENEMIES & CHARACTERS
1
ENFORCER - With ripper blazing,the armored Enforcer can make fast
business of dispatching any remaining human opposition.Powerful hind legs
enable the Enforcer to leap to many places where an unsuspecting Duke
may be caught off guard...so beware.The Enforcer may drop either ripper
ammo or his armored breastplate when killed.
ASSAULT COMMANDER - The free-floating Assault Commander
knows how to throw his weight around as he engages his anti-grav spindeck in your face.When at greater distances, he fires deadly rockets from
his rear port which dangles below his anti-grav spin-deck.The Assault
Commander may drop a supply of rockets when killed.
BOSSES - You will encounter four different alien bosses,each determined
to rip off you head and shi...well you get the idea. You will have to discover
each of their own unique attacks and weaknesses and if you are lucky
enough to surrvive, you get a nifty little cut scene after each.
