Let's Play Doom 64 #21: The Hidden Cost of Pew-Pews [Strobe Warning]

You may think that collecting the hidden demon keys is just a straight upgrade with no downsides and while there are a lot of benefits to doing so, there is one drawback that isn't shown to you... directly, at least. The more keys that are attuned to the Unmaker, the quicker you run through your ammunition and while the increased damage is lovely, it makes it ill-suited towards taking on swarms of lesser foes, lest you end up emptying all your plasma cells.
The BFG remains the premier room-clearer, which is a shame as nothing beats laser pew-pews in asethetics. You should reserve the Unmaker for things you want really dead exceptionally quickly, like barons in close quarters and especially cyberdemons, though there's only been one of them in the game to date. I imagine there are more on the hardest difficulty, but that's something for me to discover at a later date.
