I allowed myself to be surrounded by zombies and imps, and took zero damage, even after moving to stand beside an explosive barrel, which did eventually explode\u2014no harm done. Turning my back on a notoriously aggressive pinky demon returned the same result: Shield up, no damage. In your face, Pink!<\/p>\n<p>I mention that point not to complain, but simply to point out that the Shield Saw mod isn&apos;t perfectly refined yet. But of course it isn&apos;t: Craneo made the mod in roughly the same amount of time I need to decide what I&apos;m going to eat for supper. To stretch that analogy further, I think of it a bit like a trip to Fast Eddie&apos;s: It may not be the best burger in the world but it&apos;s pretty damn good, and I got it in 12 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Others were equally impressed:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1095px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:49.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"MxpHGi9pyv2km7JWhwCvNf\" name=\"shield3.png\" alt=\"Twitter reactions to the Doom Chainshield mod\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-modder-has-already-brought-doom-the-dark-ages-new-shield-saw-to-the-1993-original-and-its-pretty-close-to-perfect.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1095\" height=\"542\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Twitter)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1095px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:49.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"MxpHGi9pyv2km7JWhwCvNf\" name=\"shield3.png\" alt=\"Twitter reactions to the Doom Chainshield mod\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-modder-has-already-brought-doom-the-dark-ages-new-shield-saw-to-the-1993-original-and-its-pretty-close-to-perfect.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1095\" height=\"542\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Twitter)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"see-more see-more--clipped\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet hawk-ignore\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How the hell did you make that so fast? pic.twitter.com\/nW7aKRy1ie<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamOnealTX\/status\/1800163700160283013\">June 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"see-more__filter\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"see-more__button-container\"><span class=\"see-more__button\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"See more\">See more<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Craneo hasn&apos;t indicated if they&apos;re going to keep working on the mod to make it a little less OP, or if it is what it is, and that&apos;s just fine.
