Duke Nukem Forever Freeze Ray details: damage, ammo, Duke Nukem 3D mode, and how to execute enemies.
Walkthrough
- 1The Freeze Ray first appears in the Campaign mission "The Shrunk Machine (Part 3)" and is also available in the "Magic Carpet Ride" DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch).
- 2In Duke Nukem 3D mode, each ammo point deals approximately 10-times more damage, making it highly lethal.
- 3Rapidly tapping the trigger speeds up the rate of fire significantly compared to holding it down.
- 4Shots travel slowly, allowing enemies a chance to evade.
- 5The Freeze Ray itself does not kill targets; it freezes them, setting them up for an execution (which recharges Ego) or requiring an alternative attack to finish them off.
- 6Not all enemies can be executed (e.g., Pregnators); these require a regular melee attack to defeat.
- 7The Freeze Ray does not function properly underwater, freezing Duke instead and removing his Ego.
- 8This underwater effect can be exploited as a glitch during the Energy Leech boss battle on unpatched versions.
Tips
- For maximum damage in Duke Nukem 3D mode, rapidly tap the trigger instead of holding it.
- Be prepared to switch to another weapon or perform an execution to finish off frozen enemies.
- Remember that some enemies, like Pregnators, cannot be executed and must be finished with a standard melee attack.
- The Freeze Ray does not recharge automatically and must be replenished by picking up ammo.
- You can set the Freeze Ray back to its original configuration to recharge it when not in combat.
