Duke Nukem: Weapon of Mass Destruction

Duke Nukem: Weapon of Mass Destruction is a large-scale gameplay mod for Duke Nukem 3D that radically reworks the game's familiar formula. The mod adds dozens of new features: alternate fire modes for each weapon, modified and entirely new enemies, and an expanded set of Duke's abilities — from Unreal Tournament-style dodges to melee moves.

The centerpiece of the mod is an RPG progression system. By killing enemies, you collect special coins that can be spent on upgrading stats and skills through a dedicated menu. In addition, each weapon levels up independently through use, gradually becoming more powerful. This creates a sense of constant growth and makes playthroughs more varied.

The mod also introduces unique mechanics: Dimension X points are used to locate resources, and certain levels allow you to pilot flying vehicles. In combat, you're assisted by Dukebot — a companion who fights alongside the player. Difficulty increases noticeably, especially in later levels where you face large enemy groups and mini-bosses. However, balance is maintained through the well-developed upgrade system.

The mod runs on EDuke32 and supports both the original episodes and custom maps.
