There are many weapons Duke Nukem can have in his arsenal. Pressing the number of the weapon (using the top row of your keyboard) during game play will activate that weapon, unless you don’t have it or have run out of ammo for it. Each weapon has its own type of ammo.
MIGHTY FOOT - (Press “1” to select.) Use this when Duke needs to do a little ass kicking.
PISTOL - (Press “2” to select.) This is an automatic pistol which does normal damage.
Ammo: Packs found in the game have 12 rounds and you can carry a maximum of 200 rounds.

Ammo: Packs found in the game have 10 shells and you can carry a maximum of 50 shells.
RIPPER - (Press “4” to select.) This rapid fire chaingun is a good weapon for dispersing several enemies at once.
Ammo: Packs found in the game have 50 rounds and you can carry a maximum of 200 rounds.
ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE - (Press “5” to select.) The rocket launched weapon is great for dealing with enemies from a distance.When the rocket hits, it explodes with enough force to affect anything right around it, Duke included, so beware.
Ammo: Packs found in the game have 5 rockets and you can carry a maximum of 50 rockets.
PIPE BOMBS - (Press “6” to select.) To toss a bomb, press FIRE.The longer the FIRE button is held, the farther the bomb will go.After tossing the bomb, the thumb-activated detonator will appear.To blow up the bomb, just press FIRE again.To detonate more than one pipe bomb at once, throw the first one, press “6” again, then throw another.

WEAPONS & AMMO
SHRINKER - (Press “7” to select.) This slick weapon will shrink your enemies to pint-sized for several seconds. During that time, Duke can stomp and squish the shrunken foes by walking on top of them.
Ammo: Crystals found in the game have 5 shots and you can carry a maximum of 50 shots.
MICROWAVE EXPANDER - (Press “7” to select/alternate between the Shrinker and the Microwave Expander.) By emitting microwaves, this weapon will superheat any enemy and cause it to expand until it finally “pops” into a bloody mess.
Ammo: Small microwave hardware upgrades with battery pack that give you 20 shots per pack up to a maximum of 50.
DEVASTATOR - (Press “8” to select.) Straight out of the Pentagon’s top secret labs comes this double barreled brute of a weapon which lets loose swarms of miniature stinger missiles in the direction of your enemies.
Ammo: Packs found in the game have 50 rockets and you can carry a maximum of 99 rockets.
TRIPBOMB - (Press “9” to select.) Another strategic weapon which you place on flat walled surfaces.After a 2 second delay, a bright red laser beam is emitted across to the opposite wall.
Crossing the beam sets off a powerful directional blast. Perfect for setting devious traps and barriers.
Ammo: Found in single units only and you can carry a maximum of 10 units.
FREEZER - (Press “0” to select.) Streams of freezing nitrogen discharge through the environment as this weapon chills its victim down to the point of death and ultimate crystallization. Once an enemy is frozen, you’ll have only a few seconds to shatter him beyond the point of recovery.

Ammo: Each box of ammo contains 50 shots, and you can
carry a maximum of 99 shots.

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 inventory 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
needed.

KEYS & ITEMS
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, 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:
ASSAULTTROOPER - 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 Earth’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 COPTANK - 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 PATROLVEHICLE - 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.
CHARACTERS & ENEMIES
12
ENEMIES & CHARACTERS
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.
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.
