Weapons

Crowbar

The Crowbar is one of the weapons the player spawns with. It uses no ammo, but has poor range and damage. It is only used as a last resort weapon for players that have no ammo for any of their weapons.

Shotgun

The Shotgun is one of the weapons the player spawns with. It uses one shell every time the fire key is pressed.

Compared to other video game shotguns, its pellets have a tight spread, but they decrease in the amount of damage they do at the longer they go. Because of its low damage, the Shotgun is best used to finish off a wounded enemy.

Super Shotgun

The Super Shotgun is a double-barreled shotgun. It uses two shells per shot and has a longer pause between shots compared to the Shotgun.

The Super Shotgun fires double the amount of pellets the Shotgun does, but it has a larger spread. Like the Shotgun, its pellets also do less damage the longer they travel. This makes the Super Shotgun best at close quarters.

  A large box of shells. It holds 40 rounds.

Nailgun

The Nailgun is a double-barreled automatic weapon that fires nails over long distances with pinpoint accuracy. It uses one nail per shot.

Because of its pinpoint accuracy, the Nailgun is a good long-range weapon. However, one should remember that it fires two nails that converge near, but not right in the center of the screen, so there is a chance of a nail from one side of the gun missing the enemy.

Super Nailgun

The Super Nailgun is a quad-barreled weapon that fires nails at a very fast rate. It uses two nails per shot.

The Super Nailgun is essentially a powered up version of the Nailgun. Its only difference is that its nails fire directly from the center of the screen. This makes the Super Nailgun better for precision shots, but one should remember to compensate aiming for enemy movement when firing.

Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that fires grenades. It uses one rocket every time the fire key is pressed. Grenades that hit a target will automatically explode, but if it misses an enemy, it will explode three seconds after being fired.

The Grenade Launcher is best used to prevent an enemy from pursuing. When being pursued, the grenade launcher should be fired at the pursuer.

Rocket Launcher

The Rocket Launcher is a weapon that fires one rocket every time the fire key is pressed. It uses one rocket every time it is fired.

The Rocket Launcher is one of the most used weapons in Deathmatch Classic. It is a very powerful weapon; both a direct impact and a rocket splash damage does a very large amount of damage. The Rocket Launcher can also be used to easily reach other sides of the map. Because of it usefulness, the Rocket Launcher is the most sought-after weapon in the game.

Lightning Gun

The Lightning Gun fires a stream of lightning from its center. It uses one cell every second the fire key is held down. If the gun is fired in water, it will use all of its ammo at once and inflict 18 damage on everybody in the water, even the player, for every cell the player has.

The Lightning Gun can quickly inflict a large amount of damage if it is held on an enemy for a few seconds. However, because of how fast paced DMC is, it is advised to have the ability to predict enemy movement when wishing to effectively utilize the Lightning Gun.

Unlike the other Deathmatch Classic weapons, whose models reuse their Quake counterparts, the Grappling Hook models are based on that of Quake 2.

Runes

Runes appear only in the unreleased official modification ThreeWave CTF and grant different abilities to their wearers or improve their characteristics. Only one rune can be used at a time. A rune can be dropped at any time. Like the Grappling Hook models, the runes are based on that of Quake 2.

The rune of Haste doubles the wearer's weapon fire rate and increases their maximum movement speed by 25%. The rune of Regeneration adds 5 health points every second and increases the maximum health to 150; if the player has any armor points, it adds 5 armor points every second until it reaches 150. The rune of Resistance halves all damage taken. The rune of Strength doubles all damage given, including self-damage.

Flags

The flags appear only in the official unreleased official modification ThreeWave CTF. They can be found near their team's respective spawns. A player must capture the other team's flag to score a point for their team. Players holding a flag will glow and shoot out circular particles of that flag's team color. Players carrying the flag will drop it when killed, it will return to it's starting post after 40 seconds of being dropped or if a player from its team touches it.
